Smugglers' Notch Set to Host Elite Disc Golfers for 2023 Pro Worlds

The Smugglers' Notch Resort in Vermont is gearing up for a major milestone as it prepares to host the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships. The event, which will take place from August 30 to September 3, marks the return of the Pro Worlds to the resort after a five-year hiatus.

The resort's two championship courses, Brewster Ridge and Fox Run Meadows, have been upgraded over the years, but this year's event promises to be even more exciting with new changes planned for the facility. According to Jeff Spring, DGPT Director and Tournament Director of the 2023 PDGA Pro Worlds, the organization is looking to upgrade the resort and make some significant announcements in the fall.

Spring, a Vermont native who has been instrumental in developing the disc golf program at Smugglers' Notch, expressed his enthusiasm for hosting the event again. "It feels like it's been 10 years since we last hosted Pro Worlds here," he said. "The sport has evolved so much, and we're excited to bring the world's best players back to our courses."

In addition to the Pro Worlds, Smugglers' Notch will also be hosting the Green Mountain Championship, an event that marks the inaugural stop of the DGPT Playoffs. The championship begins on Thursday and runs through Sunday.

As for what's in store for the future, Spring mentioned that the resort is celebrating a major milestone – Brewster Ridge has just turned 10 years old. He praised Smugglers' Notch Resort as "second to none" and expressed his gratitude for their continued support of disc golf.

The DGPT schedule for next year is expected to be announced soon, but one thing is certain – the return of Pro Worlds to Smugglers' Notch promises to be an unforgettable experience for both players and spectators alike.
