TRUSSVILLE, Ala.–The Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama and the Cahaba Disc Company announced today that a new public disc golf course is set to be constructed at Camp Coleman.

The Kristofer Robinson Memorial Disc Golf Course will be a brand-new, pro-level disc golf course that promises to be one of the finest courses in the state.

The exciting addition to the community will honor the memory of Kristofer Robinson, the late brother of Trussville City Councilor Ben Short, whose life was tragically cut short by the actions of a drunk driver.

The new course at Camp Coleman will provide an exceptional recreational opportunity for Girl Scouts and community members alike, helping foster both physical activity and an appreciation for the outdoors.

The course is designed as a challenging Par 69 that includes three tee pads on every par 4 and 5, and at least two tee pads on each par 3, allowing flexibility for all skill levels.

From the Pro Tees, the holes total over 10,000 feet, navigating through diverse terrain that includes holes by the Cahaba River, elevation changes, and a balance of wooded and open holes.

The course will also feature an alternate 6 hole layout designed for the Girl Scouts.

Designed to challenge players of all skill levels, the course will feature state-of-the-art amenities and beautifully landscaped surroundings that reflect the spirit of the Girl Scouts.

The vision for the course and its design was brought to life by Jasen White and Nick Romano with Cahaba Disc Company, along with Tim Keith.

“We are thrilled to introduce this pro-level course as we truly believe this will become one of the best disc golf courses in the state,” White said.

“We want to thank the Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama for our partnership and all of the sponsors for their generosity. The hope is that this course brings a sense of community and inspires players to embrace the joy of disc golf while remembering Kristofer Robinson and the importance of safe driving.”

“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the creation of this course,” Councilor Short added. “As a parent, I look forward to playing alongside my kids and celebrating my brother’s legacy in a space that our family, along with the entire Trussville community, will be able to enjoy for years to come.”

Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama CEO Karen Peterlin said, “Our Girl Scouts are very excited that they will be able to play a role in the development of this course and its amenities! As a council, we are proud to honor the legacy of Kristofer Robinson with the creation of such a beautiful community space. It will be a wonderful place for Girl Scouts and their friends and families to spend time in the great outdoors, get some exercise, and have a good time together.”

To date, the design team has obtained sponsorships in the amount of $42,000 with a target goal of $60,000.
