Disc Golf

How a Disc Golf Course Is Laid Out

We have designed our disc golf courses to fit naturally onto our existing golf fairways. Each hole begins at a concrete tee pad and ends at a metal basket with chains. You aim to throw your disc from the tee into the basket in as few throws as possible. Most holes are between 60 and 150 metres long, with par ranging from three to five. The fairways we use are mowed short, and we keep the rough and trees to create challenge without being intimidating. You will find out-of-bounds areas marked clearly, often along creeks or cart paths. The basket positions change occasionally to keep the course fresh. You play from the same tees as traditional golf, but the game is far quicker – a typical round takes under two hours.

Choosing the Right Discs

You do not need a large bag to start. Three types of discs cover every shot you will encounter.

• Driver – A wide-rimmed disc designed for maximum distance. Use it from the tee on longer holes. It flies farther but can be less predictable in wind.
• Mid‑range – A narrower rim disc that offers control and accuracy. Ide to 90 metres. It is the most versatile disc in your bag.
• Putter – A blunt‑rimmed disc used for short throws and putting into the basket. It flies straight and softly, giving you confidence near the target.

We recommend starting with a mid‑range disc and a putter. As you gain confidence, add a driver. Discs are lightweight and durable – you can carry three or four in one hand.

Scoring and Etiquette

Scoring in disc golf follows the same logic as ball golf. Each throw counts as one stroke. The player with the fewest tot holes wins. You mark your score on a card or mobile app. Par, birdie, bogey – all terms carry over. The low‑impact nature of throwing means you can play multiple rounds without fatigue.

Etiquette matters on our courses. Always wait until the group ahead is out of throwing range before you tee off. Do not talk or move while another player is throwing. Keep your voice down near the basket. Let faster groups play through if you are falling behind. Respect the course – do not climb trees to retrieve discs, and fill any divots you create on tees. Disc golf is a self‑officiated sport, so honesty and courtesy make the game enjoyable for everyone.

Great for Families and Beginners

Disc golf is one of the most accessible outdoor activities you can try. You do not need a membership or expensive equipment – a starter set of discs costs very little and lasts for years. The walking distance is shorter than a full round of ball golf, and the pace is relaxed. Children as young as five can throw a putter 20 metres, and grandparents can play alongside them without strain. The learning curve is gentle: after a few throws you will understand how a disc flies, and you will improve quickly. Because we place our disc golf baskets on fairways that are already maintained, the course is always in good condition. If you are new to golf or simply want a fun, low‑pressure way to spend a sunny afternoon, grab a couple of discs and come out. We have scorecards and course maps at the clubhouse, and our staff will point you to the first tee.
