The nine-hoop course will allow people to play the frisbee-based game at the same time as traditional golfers enjoy a round.
Volunteers installed the course themselves, with a golf hole digger and some hard work.
Club treasurer Sandra Davey even covered in hydraulic oil in the process.
But the effort was worth it for the club members, hoping to increase membership and see more people on the green.
"This'll bring in a younger generation, a different cohort," Mrs Davey said.
The club hopes schools will also take advantage of the new facilities.
Mrs Davey even hoped some disc golfers would also consider the club a home to play golf.
Bendigo Disc Golf founder Jackson Adams said he hoped the new facility would help people get active.
Keen to give Disc Golf a go?
The club is running a Come and Try Day on Monday January 27, 10am to 2pm.
