DISC GOLF GUIDELINES

HOW TO PLAY

  • Disc Golf is played like ball golf using a flying disc. One (1) stroke is counted each time the disc is thrown. The object is to acquire the lowest score.

  • Tee throws must be completed within or behind the designated tee area. (Don’t throw until the players in front of you are out of range).

  • When playing in a group or with a friend, allow everyone to take their first throw from the tee before taking a second throw.

  • Each throw must be taken from where the disc lands.

  • The disc that lands the furthest away from the target goes first.

  • You have finished the hole when your disc lands in the basket.

  • For more detailed rules, visit the Professional Disc Golf Association at pdga.com
