Disc Golf For All

Imagine playing a round of golf that’s purely fun and without barriers such as high costs, strict dress codes or a sharp learning curve.

Welcome to disc golf. From the sweeping landscapes of P.E.I. to bustling parks in Calgary, Canada is rapidly becoming a global leader in disc golf. Once a niche pursuit, the sport is surging, with the country on track to hit a milestone of 1,000 courses this year — a jump from just 350 in 2020. How do you play disc golf? Disc golf takes place on an outdoor course where players throw a specialized Frisbee-like disc at a series of elevated metal baskets with chains. The goal is to get the disc into the baskets in the fewest number of attempts, following rules similar to traditional golf. Courses are either nine holes or 18. At each fairway, the player lines up their disc, eyeballing a link in the metal chainset as a focal point, and lofts their shot. Success is a thundering clash of plastic on metal, followed by the pure joy of sinking the subsequent putt.
