Book a tee time

Disc golf operates similarly to traditional golf, but players throw flying discs instead of using balls and clubs. The sport was formalized in the 1970s, and shares with ball golf the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes.

Each disc is classified as a putter, midrange, fairway or distance driver based on its design and flight characteristics. Players throw from a tee area toward a target basket suspended from metal chains, making each consecutive throw from the spot where the previous throw landed.

The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer — and the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether it’s making a hole in one, sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway.
