Many city parks have golf courses already set up. Most are free to play as often
as you like. Disc golfers who do not have the benefit of a permanent disc golf
facility in their area often "make up" courses in nearby parks and green-spaces.
Jim Davidson drills a putt at the Research Park Disc Golf Course in College Station, Texas.
One of the great features disc golf shares with traditional golf is that they are
both played in beautiful settings. A nine-hole disc golf course can be established
on as little as five acres of land, and a championship-caliber 18-hole course on
30 to 40 acres. Disc golf courses can coexist with existing park facilities and
activity areas. The ideal location combines wooded and open terrains, and a
variety of topographical change.
The need for more courses is constant, as the sport continues to grow in popularity.
The PDGA has created standards for the design and installation of new golf courses,
to ensure their success in the community.
