Where to Play

Disc Golf is popping up more and more all over the UK.

Where to Play?

Disc Golf can be played in school grounds, parks, in and around woodland or out in the wilderness. Targets can be just about anything - whatever is available.  It’s a good idea to incorporate buildings or trees to curve around, boundary fences and walls for ‘out of bounds’ hazards (incurring a 1 shot penalty), and other obstacles to throw under or over... get creative! Guard against making the course too long… it’s best if all players are able to reach the target within 2 or 3 throws. The key to making a good course is to ensure it suits the level of ability so they have FUN! Students at the University of Washington have established a rather impressive 18 hole course around the grounds of their campus... check it out!
