How to Build and Design a Disc Golf Course: The Complete European Guide

By Erno Väyrynen, Disc Golf Courses by Prodigy Disc · Updated 23 September 2026

Disc golf is one of the most affordable sports facilities a community can build. A course serves all ages, is open all year, and needs no staff, booking system or entry control. Yet a good course does not happen by accident: it needs the right location, a professional design and equipment that lasts.

This guide walks you through the whole process in six steps, from the first idea to opening day. We also cover what a course costs compared to other sports facilities, how to fund it in Europe, and what we have learned from courses across the continent.

You do not need to know any of this in advance. We handle the design and supply the equipment. Your job is to tell us what area you have and who the course is for.

Step 1: Define who the course is for

Everything starts with the users. Who the course is for determines the hole lengths, the difficulty and the overall size, and it is expensive to change afterwards.

The first course in an area should almost always be designed for beginners, families and school groups. Short holes, around 60 metres or less, suit children and older players and make the sport easy to pick up. More experienced players can be served by adding a second tee position to each hole. A course that is too difficult drives away exactly the people it was built for.

Questions to answer before design starts

• Who will use the course on weekdays, and who at weekends?
• Are there schools, kindergartens or colleges nearby that could use the course for physical education?
• Is there a local disc golf club or active players in the area?
• Is the goal to attract visitors and tourists, or mainly to serve local residents?
• Do you want to host competitions in the future?

Typical user groups and what they mean for the course

User group	What the course needs
Families and beginners	Short, open holes with clear sightlines, few places to lose discs, short walks from basket to next tee
Schools and kindergartens	Very short holes, a safe route, clear signs, ideally a loop that fits within one lesson
Active players and clubs	Longer holes, varied throwing lines, use of elevation, potential for competitions
Tourism and accommodation	Part of a wider offer, clear guidance for first-timers, disc rental

Notes for different buyers

Municipalities and cities: a disc golf course is a sports facility with a very low life-cycle cost per user. It serves all age groups without membership fees or booking slots and fits well into health and physical activity programmes. The hobby is still male-dominated, so designing for beginners and families broadens the user base considerably.

Businesses, campsites and tourist destinations: a course extends the length of a visit and gives you content for marketing. Even a small area is enough when the course is sized correctly.

Clubs and associations: volunteers typically handle clearing and installation, so the investment focuses on design and equipment. Sign a written agreement with the landowner before you buy anything.

How we help: we go through who is likely to use the course and turn that into concrete design requirements.

Step 2: Survey the site

Next, find out what the available area allows. The most important factors are safety, compatibility with other uses of the area, land ownership, access and the terrain.

The best place for an area's first course is often a park or green space that is already maintained. The course then adds little maintenance work, and passers-by see the sport. Areas that flood regularly, very steep slopes and very rocky ground are not suitable. Neither is a park in heavy recreational use: you cannot throw if people are standing on the fairway.

Compatibility with other uses

This is the most common reason a course causes problems afterwards. The area affected by a hole is always much larger than the planned throwing line, because some throws go badly off target. The distance between holes and other activities must be assessed carefully before design.

• Footpaths and trails: a hole may cross a path only if the thrower has a clear view and can make sure others are safe. Leave enough distance between holes and paths that run alongside them.
• Streets, roads and car parks: a hole must not point towards traffic or parked cars.
• Playgrounds and kindergarten yards: no holes or baskets in their immediate vicinity.
• Other sports facilities: ball fields, tennis courts, skate parks and dog parks must be considered for both safety and scheduling.
• Homes, gardens and walkways: nothing should be located behind or right next to a basket.

Experience shows that a distance of under ten metres to paths or other land use clearly increases negative feedback from residents. The actual safety distance is considerably larger, and it depends on the terrain, obstacles and the direction of the hole. It is always assessed site by site.

Site checklist

• Land ownership and right of use: does the client own the land, or is a lease or land-use agreement needed?
• Zoning and restrictions: nature reserves, heritage sites, groundwater protection areas.
• Nature values: survey them as for any sports facility project. Valuable woodland habitats are not suitable for a course.
• Underground infrastructure: cables, pipes and wires at basket and tee positions.
• Access: can people reach the course on foot, by bike and by public transport, and is there enough parking, including for events?
• Distance from housing: enough to avoid disturbance, but not so remote that nobody finds the course.
• Soil and drainage: will the ground withstand wear, and are there permanently wet spots?
• Trees and visibility: are there enough obstacles to make the game interesting without losing discs?
• Maintenance: who mows, who empties the bins, who is responsible for the structures?

What terrain works best

The best starting point is a varied area with open grass and trees or bushes in between. Elevation changes and water are valuable to a designer but not essential. Wooded areas can also make excellent holes, but dense undergrowth needs constant clearing, and wear on the environment is clearly stronger on forest courses.

What to send us

• A map of the area, ideally an aerial photo or map file
• Property boundaries and land ownership
• Known restrictions, such as utility maps, nature surveys and protected areas
• Existing paths, buildings, sports facilities and car parks

How we help: we assess the site and tell you directly whether it works, how many holes it can take and what is worth changing.

Step 3: Decide the number of holes and how much land you need

The number of holes depends on the area, the budget and the users. A full-size course has 18 holes, and 9-hole courses are very common. Smaller layouts work too if they are done well: a practice area with a few baskets or a six-hole school course can be the most used sports facility in the area.

How much land you need depends on how tightly the course is laid out. A compact 18-hole course fits into about five to seven hectares, but in an urban setting with plenty of other activity and safety distances, a full-size course typically needs 15–25 hectares. Holes usually range from 50 to 250 metres, and they should form a loop that starts and ends close together.

How much land does a disc golf course need?

Course type	Hectares	Acres (approx.)
Practice area, 1–8 baskets	from a few hundred m² to about 3 ha	up to about 7
9 holes, compact layout	2.5–3 ha	6–7
9 holes, spacious urban layout	6–15 ha	15–37
18 holes, compact layout	5–7 ha	12–17
18 holes, spacious urban layout	15–25 ha	37–62

The difference between compact and spacious layouts is large, and it comes from safety distances. In woodland or a separate area, holes can be placed closer together. In a busy park, much more space is needed.

Hole lengths by user group

User group	Typical hole length
Schools and children	30–60 m
Beginners and families	50–80 m
Recreational players	70–120 m
Experienced players	over 120 m, including par 4 holes

The average hole length largely sets the difficulty of the course. But length is not the only way to make a course interesting: terrain, vegetation and built obstacles create challenge too.

Course classes in municipal planning

Finnish cities often classify courses into three levels, which makes network planning easier. The Helsinki disc golf programme 2022–2032 is a good example:

• Full-size course: 18 holes, suitable for competitions, attracts players from a wide area.
• Recreational course: 9–17 baskets, suitable for both beginners and experienced players, serves the local area.
• Practice area: 1–8 baskets for practice, serves residents within walking distance.

In practice, one full-size course plus several small practice areas serves residents more evenly than one large course alone.

Two tees per hole

With two tee positions, the same course serves both beginners and experienced players. It is an efficient way to broaden the user base, but it adds cost, because each tee needs its own pad and sign. You can also add the second set of tees later.

Room to expand

If the area allows it, mark in the first plan where the course could be extended. Going from 9 to 18 holes is much easier when the loop has been designed with that in mind from the start.

How we help: after the site visit, we tell you how many holes fit safely and how much room to leave for expansion.

Step 4: Design the course

Design is the phase where saving money costs the most. An inexperienced designer easily creates a course that is too hard for its users or where holes cross footpaths. Fixing mistakes afterwards means moving baskets and tees, and in the worst cases safety problems have led to courses being removed altogether.

A good design makes the course safe, varied and logical to play. Holes are placed so that players, walkers and vehicles can see each other. Just as important is a good playing experience: hole lengths and throwing lines vary so that each hole offers its own challenge, and elevation and existing vegetation are used to protect plants and prevent erosion. A course that is fun to play brings people back.

Design the safety margin for bad throws

This is the single most important principle of safe course design. You do not design for where the disc flies on a good throw, but for where it can go on a bad one. A beginner's disc can leave as much as 90 degrees off line, and even experienced players regularly miss the intended line by tens of metres.

In practice, this means drawing a wide sector around each tee where the disc might land, and the whole sector must be safe. If a footpath or playground lies ten metres to the side of a tee, the hole cannot go there, even if the throwing line points in a completely different direction.

Safety principles

• The safety margin is based on a failed throw, not the intended line.
• No hole points towards a playground, car park, road, building or another sports facility, and none of these sit close beside a tee.
• Crossings with footpaths are kept to a minimum, and the thrower has a clear view wherever they remain.
• No basket is placed where a missed putt could hit a passer-by.
• Nothing else is located behind or right next to a basket.
• Consecutive holes are far enough apart that players on one hole are not in the line of fire of another.
• The walk from a basket to the next tee does not cross another hole's throwing line.

What makes a course interesting

A good course varies hole length, shape and the required throwing line. Some holes favour a backhand, some a forehand, some a straight line. Elevation, open and wooded sections and different landing zones make a round varied. Obstacles can also be created with landscaping or built features, which makes the course more durable at the same time.

What the design includes

• Site visit and assessment of the area's potential
• Hole placement, lengths, pars and playing order
• Safety review in relation to paths, buildings, parking, other sports facilities and neighbouring properties
• Digital design package: course map, hole-by-hole maps and coordinates for tees and baskets
• Marking of basket positions, tees and fairway lines on site
• Marking of trees to be removed or thinned
• Estimate of clearing work and materials needed

How the digital design package is used

• Decision-making and funding: the plan can be presented as it is, which also makes grant applications easier.
• Signs and information board, so that all maps are consistent.
• Work instructions for a contractor or your own staff.
• A basis for maintenance and later changes, because you know where every structure was planned.

How we help: our experienced designers produce the course plan, the digital design package and the on-site markings, so installation is straightforward whether it is done by your own staff, a contractor or volunteers.

Step 5: Choose the equipment

A course consists of three visible parts: baskets, tees and signage. The quality of this equipment decides what the course looks like five years from now. Wear concentrates on the tees and around the baskets, so build these properly from the start.

We supply all course equipment from one place, so the parts fit together, warranty matters are handled by one supplier and spare parts are available years later.

Baskets

• For a public course, choose a PDGA-approved basket, so the course can also host PDGA-sanctioned competitions.
• A hot-dip galvanised frame and parts withstand northern weather year after year.
• Dense chains catch discs reliably and reduce frustrating spit-outs.
• Replaceable parts, such as chains and the basket bottom, extend service life considerably.
• Foundations can be built in two or three places on the same hole, so the basket position can be rotated to spread wear.
• Baskets can be removed for the winter if needed.

Tee pads

• Sand-filled artificial turf is, in players' experience, the best surface for a tee. Concrete and asphalt also work.
• The recommended size is about 2 × 4 metres. Smaller pads, such as 1.5 × 2.4 metres, have proven too small in use.
• The tee size depends on the length and difficulty of the hole: a long throw needs more room for the run-up.
• Stone dust or gravel is an affordable option, but it wears quickly and needs regular topping up.
• A worn, muddy tee is the most common reason a course looks badly maintained. An uneven or slippery tee also causes injuries.

Around the basket

• Cover the area around the basket with a wear-resistant surface, for example artificial turf in a circle of about four metres in diameter.
• In wooded sections, wood chips can protect the ground around the basket and exposed tree roots.
• A grass surround must be established carefully to withstand wear.

Signage

• A tee sign for every tee: hole number, length, par and a map of the hole with obstacles.
• An information board at the start: course map, playing order, difficulty of holes, rules, etiquette and who maintains the course.
• Next-tee directions wherever the route is not obvious.
• Warning signs for other users where a footpath crosses a hole.
• In municipal parks, follow the city's own signage guidelines.

Other amenities

• A gathering area near the first tee, where the round starts and ends.
• Enough bins, ideally where a maintenance vehicle can reach them.
• Benches at the information board and at tees where players wait their turn. Not on fairways or near baskets.
• A lost-and-found disc box and a queue box that helps share starting slots at busy times.
• Bike racks near the start.
• Lighting is not essential, but it extends the season in autumn and spring. Motion-activated smart lighting keeps energy use low.

How we help: we put together a course package suited to your area, with baskets, tee pads and signs as one compatible whole.

Step 6: Clear, install and open

As a rule, the customer handles clearing and installation. This is also the most affordable way to build a course. Once the plan is marked on site and the trees to be removed are marked, the work is easy to do with your own staff, a local contractor or volunteers. We supply the equipment, installation instructions and the guidance you need.

If you need a turnkey solution, we are happy to discuss it. Tell us in your quote request how much of the work you want to do yourself, and we will size the delivery accordingly.

Order of work

1. Fairway lines, basket positions and tees are marked on site during design.
2. Utility check before any digging, if there is underground infrastructure.
3. Clearing: opening throwing lines, removing undergrowth and marked trees.
4. Groundwork for tees and installation of the pads.
5. Basket foundations cast or anchored, in several positions per hole if needed.
6. Wear-resistant surfaces around the baskets.
7. Installation of signs and the information board.
8. Final inspection and safety check before opening.

What to remember when clearing

• Clear only what is marked. Trees are the most important playing element of a course, and an over-cleared hole becomes dull.
• Schedule clearing outside the bird nesting season and in line with the area's nature surveys.
• Felled wood can be reused on site, for example as wood chips around baskets.
• Discs repeatedly damage the bark of trees in the same spots. Young trees and soft-barked species such as willow and aspen are especially sensitive. Protect the trunks and roots of exposed trees already during installation.

Opening the course

• Add the course to the UDisc app and the PDGA course directory, so players from outside the area find it too.
• An opening event and a demonstration round make the course known locally.
• Introduce schools and clubs to the course from the very beginning.

Responsibilities and agreements

The operator of a sports facility is generally responsible for its safety, so it is important to define in writing who that is. If maintenance is shared with a club or a company, agree at least on the following:

• Ownership of baskets, signs and other structures
• Maintenance of structures and waste management
• Course design, placement of baskets and changes to them
• Maintenance of the surroundings, such as mowing and removing damaged trees
• Maintenance of paths and ground, such as adding wood chips or stone dust
• What happens if the partner stops operating

Maintenance

• Mowing grass areas as part of the normal care of the area.
• Trimming vegetation from throwing lines once a year.
• Regular checks of the safety, tidiness and condition of structures.
• Checking basket chains and fixings and replacing worn parts.
• Monitoring trees damaged by discs and checking protective structures.
• Repairing worn spots at tees, around baskets and on walking routes.
• A well-designed course in a park adds only a moderate amount of maintenance, but more than an ordinary park. Include it in the budget from the start.
• On a heavily used course, the renovation cycle for structures is about ten years.

How we help: we mark the plan on site, supply the equipment and installation instructions, and guide the people doing the work. A turnkey solution can be arranged separately.

How much does a disc golf course cost?

Our course packages cost about €10,000 for a 9-hole course and about €20,000 for an 18-hole course, excluding VAT. The price includes our part of the project: the course equipment, the course design and the course map.

Course	Our package (excl. VAT)	Includes
9 holes	about €10,000	Baskets, tee pads, signs, course design and course map
18 holes	about €20,000	Baskets, tee pads, signs, course design and course map

Installation costs depend on who does the work. Many municipalities do the clearing and groundwork with their own staff, and clubs are often keen to install the course as a volunteer project. In that case, the equipment and the design are the main costs.

What affects the total cost?

• Number of holes and tees per hole
• Tee surface: artificial turf, concrete or gravel
• Amount of clearing and landscaping needed
• Parking, paths and accessibility: often the largest single cost if they have to be built
• Extra amenities such as benches, lighting or a practice putting area
• How much of the work is done by your own staff or volunteers

Compared with other sports facilities

A disc golf course is an exceptionally affordable sports facility. Most of the cost is equipment and labour, not construction. There is no heating, ice-making, water or sewage connection, changing rooms or staff, and it is open from morning to evening without booking slots.

The figures below come from Finnish municipal decision documents, project reports and news coverage from 2022–2026. They are indicative and come from different years and project sizes, but the order of magnitude is clear.

Facility	Investment (excl. VAT)	Example
Disc golf course, 18 holes, light build	about €25,000–50,000	Kiuruvesi, 18 holes and practice area, about €31,900. Vaala, 18-hole technical course, under €50,000
Disc golf course, 18 holes, major renovation	about €125,000	Ilmajoki, Ahonkylä two-year course renovation project, €126,000
Disc golf course in an urban setting	about €10,000–30,000 per hole	City of Helsinki disc golf programme estimate, including landscaping and often lighting
Artificial turf football pitch	about €500,000	Kontiolahti, Lehmo pitch, about €498,000. Helsinki, Kallio sports field, €521,500
Sports hall	about €10 million	Savonlinna, Talvisalo sports hall, over €10 million
Indoor football hall	about €13 million	Salo, project plan estimate over €13 million
Ice rink, two rinks	about €15 million	Kokkola, estimate €15.1 million

In other words, for the price of one artificial turf pitch you could build several full-size disc golf courses, and for the price of one ice rink, dozens. Even the most demanding 18-hole course built in an urban setting, with landscaping and lighting, is at most in the same price range as one artificial turf pitch.

Cost per visit

After its renovation, the 18-hole course in Ahonkylä, Ilmajoki (Finland) had about a thousand players a week. The project cost €126,000.

• With a 30-week season, that is about 30,000 visits a year.
• Spread over ten years, the investment is about €12,600 a year.
• The investment per visit is therefore about €0.42.

With our 18-hole package at about €20,000 excluding VAT, the same ten-year calculation gives €2,000 a year. Even at 10,000 visits a year, the investment per visit is €0.20. These figures are indicative and do not include maintenance, but they show the order of magnitude: a free sports facility, open all day, with an investment cost per user well below one euro.

Why the cost per user stays so low

• The course is available at all hours and needs no booking system.
• Several groups use the course at the same time as rounds move from hole to hole.
• No staff, supervisors or seasonal equipment changes are needed.
• Players come from outside the municipality too, bringing spending power to the area.
• The barrier to entry is low: discs cost a few tens of euros, and no club membership is required.

A study of 20 Finnish cities, published by the Finnish Society of Sport Sciences, found that municipalities cover on average 60–80 percent of the annual total costs of their sports facilities themselves. Swimming halls and ice rinks are in a completely different cost class from outdoor facilities. For a disc golf course, the municipality's cost is in practice only the investment and slightly more maintenance than an ordinary green space.

How we help: we quote several scopes, so decision-makers can compare options side by side.

How to fund a disc golf course in Europe

You do not have to fund the whole course from your own budget. In Finland, disc golf courses have been among the most frequently funded small sports facility projects in recent years. In many Finnish projects, external funding covered 60–77 percent of the total cost, and volunteer work covered part of the rest.

For example, the renovation of the Ilmajoki course was funded by the local LEADER group and the regional development authority, and volunteer work worth over €70,000 was recorded. In Vaala, project funding covered 65 percent of the cost of an 18-hole course.

Disc golf fits well with European funding priorities: inclusion, healthy outdoor activity and access for everyone, regardless of age or income.

EU LEADER funding (rural areas)

LEADER is part of the EU's rural development funding. Local action groups fund public-benefit investment projects in rural areas, and a disc golf course fits them well. Associations, municipalities and other communities can apply.

• The support rate varies by group and country, typically around 50–65 percent of eligible costs.
• The maximum support varies considerably between groups.
• Volunteer work can often count towards your own contribution. Agree in advance how it is recorded.
• Support is usually paid afterwards, so the project needs interim financing.
• Support is not granted retroactively. Do not start the project before your application is submitted, and in some countries not before it is approved. Check with your local action group.
• Check your local action group's funding priorities before starting the design.

PDGA Europe Disc Golf Development Grant

PDGA Europe runs a development grant programme that supports introducing disc golf in new countries and developing it in established ones. Course building projects are prioritised in countries where disc golf is still underdeveloped. In countries with an established course network, the programme focuses on coaching, junior programmes and promotion. Grants cover activities for 12 months from approval, and activities scheduled before the application date are not considered.

National sports facility grants

Many countries have national or regional grants for building sports facilities, often administered by a ministry, a sports council or a regional authority. They usually require accessibility and increasingly emphasise sustainability. Application periods are typically annual, and the application must be made before the project starts.

Other funding sources

• Regional development funding, often combined with LEADER funding.
• Participatory budgeting: disc golf courses have repeatedly been among the most popular proposals in residents' votes.
• A joint project between the municipality and a club, where the municipality provides the land and part of the investment and the club handles maintenance.
• Business partnerships: local companies can be visible on tee signs and the information board.
• Foundations and funds supporting sport for children and young people.
• Erasmus+ Sport for cooperation projects, such as coaching and youth activities around a course.

The order of a funding application

1. Identify the area and get the landowner's consent.
2. Have a course plan and cost estimate made that can be attached to the application.
3. Check the application periods and terms of your LEADER group and national grants.
4. Submit the application before the project starts, and check whether work may begin only after approval.
5. Agree in advance how volunteer work is recorded, so it counts towards your own contribution.

How we help: we deliver the plan and cost breakdown in a format that can go straight into a grant application.

Case study: Luolavuori Disc Golf Park, Turku, Finland

Luolavuori Disc Golf Park near the centre of Turku is one of the most popular courses in Finland. It started in 2018 as a student entrepreneur project at Turku University of Applied Sciences' BisnesAkatemia and has grown step by step into a course that hosts international competitions.

• 18 holes on a 19-hectare area, with two layouts for recreational and advanced players
• Mainly meadow holes, with denser woodland adding variety and challenge
• Plenty of elevation: the highest point is 66 metres above sea level, with views over Turku
• Prodigy T2 baskets and artificial turf tees
• Rated 4.3 out of 5 by more than 2,100 players on UDisc
• Venue of the DGPT Turku Open in 2024 and 2025. The 2024 edition was a Disc Golf Pro Tour Elite Series event with 133 players.
• A disc shop and kiosk on site during the summer season

Since the 2026 season, the course has been owned and operated by Prodigy Disc Europe. Luolavuori shows what a course can become when it is developed with the users in mind: an easier layout for recreational players, a longer one for those who want more challenge, and a setting good enough for professional competition.

Prodigy baskets across Europe

Prodigy baskets are in use across Europe, from city parks to ski resorts and hotels. As of September 2026, we found more than 160 courses on UDisc in at least 14 European countries listing Prodigy baskets, most of them in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. A few examples:

Course	Location	Type
Valbyparken Disc Golf	Copenhagen, Denmark	19 holes in Copenhagen's largest park. According to its UDisc listing, the most played course in the world in 2022 and 2023.
Talin Frisbeegolfpuisto	Helsinki, Finland	One of Finland's oldest and most played disc golf parks, established in 1999
Luolavuori Disc Golf Park	Turku, Finland	18 holes, DGPT Turku Open venue in 2024 and 2025
Disk Golf Park Riga	Riga, Latvia	New 18-hole championship course in the 35-hectare Kleisti Eco Park, with Prodigy baskets and tee pads, opening in August 2026
Sportland Kõrvemaa Discgolf Park	Kõrvemaa, Estonia	21 holes, rated 4.7 out of 5 on UDisc
Gudbrandsgard Hotell and Fossen Diskgolf	Kvitfjell, Norway	Courses in a ski resort area, including a hotel course
Alpenhotel Ammerwald	Tyrol, Austria	Small hotel disc golf area with three Prodigy baskets in the Alps

Frequently asked questions

How much land do you need for a disc golf course?

A compact 9-hole course needs about 2.5–3 hectares (6–7 acres), and a compact 18-hole course about 5–7 hectares (12–17 acres). In a busy urban park with a lot of other activity, a full-size course typically needs 15–25 hectares because of safety distances. A practice area with a few baskets fits into a much smaller space.

How much does it cost to build a disc golf course?

Our package of equipment, course design and course map costs about €10,000 for 9 holes and about €20,000 for 18 holes, excluding VAT. Installation costs depend on who does the work. Many municipalities use their own staff, and clubs often install courses as volunteer projects. Parking, paths and major landscaping add to the total if they are needed.

How long does it take to build a disc golf course?

Design and the site visit typically take a few weeks, depending on the schedule. Installation itself is quick once the groundwork is done. What varies most is decision-making, funding applications and the amount of clearing, so reserve months for the whole project, not weeks.

Do you need a building permit for a disc golf course?

A disc golf course does not usually require a building permit, but practices vary by country, municipality and the zoning of the area. You always need the landowner's permission, and nature or recreation areas may have their own restrictions. We clarify this with the local authority as part of the design phase.

Can a course be built in phases?

Yes. A common and effective approach is to build 9 holes first and expand later, or to start with one set of tees and add a second set later. The key is that the expansion is included in the original plan.

Can we do the work ourselves?

Yes, and that is the starting point. Many municipalities do the clearing and tee groundwork with their own staff, and clubs install courses as volunteer projects. We supply the equipment, on-site markings and instructions. Volunteer work can often count towards your own contribution in project funding. We are happy to discuss a turnkey solution if you do not have the resources.

Does a disc golf course damage the environment?

Disc golf causes more wear than ordinary recreation, especially at tees, around baskets and on the routes between holes. Wear is strongest on forest courses and on slopes with clay soil. It is managed through location, guiding walking routes, wear-resistant surfaces and protecting tree trunks and roots. These issues are solved in the design phase, not afterwards.

Which baskets should a public course use?

Choose a PDGA-approved basket with a hot-dip galvanised frame, dense chains and replaceable parts. Approval allows the course to host PDGA-sanctioned competitions, galvanising withstands the weather, and replaceable parts extend the service life. Building foundations in two or three positions per hole lets you rotate the basket position and spread wear.

How to get started

You do not need to know in advance how many holes fit into your area or what equipment you need. Just tell us about the area and who the course is for, and we will take care of the rest.

• Course design by experienced designers
• Digital design package and on-site markings
