What is Disc Golf?
​
Disc Golf originated in the USA in the late 1960′s and has spread throughout the world. It’s just like ‘ball’ golf, the main difference being it is played by throwing a flying disc into a metal target instead of hitting a ball into a hole. The aim is to send the ‘golf disc’ from tee to basket in the fewest throws.
A typical round of 18 holes takes approximately 2 hours to play, depending on the length and terrain and technical difficulty. The rules and basic skills are simple to grasp, allowing beginners to immediately have fun challenging themselves with friends.
Disc golf offers a unique way of experiencing the countryside and connecting with nature. It’s fun, inexpensive and very environmentally friendly.
