About Disc Golf

Disc Golf is played like traditional ball golf, but instead of using a club and balls, players use flying discs. Like ball golf, the player starts at hole one and throws from the tee. The player progresses down the fairway by throwing from the spot where the previous throw landed. The hole is completed when the disc has landed in the basket. The object is to complete the course with the fewest amounts of throws. Disc golf is accessible to all members of the community, male and female, young and old. 

Disc golf first took flight in the late 1970's and there are now more than 6,000 courses around the world, with new courses being installed every day.
