Disc Golf

Disc golf, also known as frolf (Frisbee golf), is golf played with flying discs. On regulation courses, metal baskets are used for holes instead of cups. The beauty of Frisbee golf is that it can be played both formally and informally. While there are official courses and regulation discs, there's nothing stopping you from picking up a disc, pointing to a trashcan in the distance, and challenging your friends to see who can hit it in fewer throws. In this section you'll learn all about fris-golf, including the official rules and tips for hucking your disc.

Dulcinea's Insight

Random state parks, schoolyards, town commons: Frisbee golf courses can be found all over. If the database on PDGA.com, listed below, doesn't show a course in your area, don't give up hope. Try every permutation of the phrase "frisbee golf course + [the name of your town/area]" until you're certain none exist (and in that case, make an informal one in your neighborhood).
