In this episode of the Elevate Utah Disc Golf podcast, host Nick Jennings is joined by Dustin, Sean, and Scott to discuss an exciting new development in Utah's disc golf scene: the Arena project in West Jordan. Unlike previous grassroots projects, this initiative is backed by local government support, with Mayor Dirk Burton championing the cause. The team shares insights into the project's origins, challenges faced, and the collaborative efforts with city officials and the community to secure funding and bring the vision to life. Special guest Jake Taber from JDS Construction joins the conversation to provide an insider's perspective on the design and construction process, highlighting the unique features of the course and the passion driving the project.

Jake elaborates on the course's design, which includes a beginner-friendly red course and a challenging pro-level course, both set against the stunning backdrop of the Utah landscape. The episode delves into the thoughtful considerations for player experience, safety, and community engagement, with plans for trails, seating, and artistic elements to enhance the space. As the opening day approaches, the team discusses the final touches needed and the excitement building within the disc golf community. Listeners are invited to join the grand opening on August 11, promising a vibrant celebration of this new disc golf destination.
