Below you will find a list of disc golf courses, broken out by city and village. Each listing includes the address and a map, as well as contact information and where we have it, a link to the course host’s page detailing their course. Courses range in size, difficulty level, and quality, but one of the great benefits of the sport is that courses are generally free to play on. Please note though that some locations, like those at schools, are not “open” during school hours. If in doubt, check the host’s page or contact them.

Of course, the best benefit of disc golf is that it provides low-impact exercise in the great outdoors!

All information is subject to change and we always recommend contacting the specific locations to verify conditions and availability.

Disc Golf Tips for Beginners

  • Beginner discs: Look for discs that are specifically designed for beginners. These discs will be slower and more understable, which means they will be easier to control.
  • Grip: Grip the disc with your fingers behind the rim and your thumb on the underside of the flight plate.
  • Posture: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your weight balanced on your back leg.
  • Follow-through: Step forward and follow through with your throw, releasing the disc flat and level.
  • Dress comfortably: You’ll be doing a lot of walking on the course, so make sure you wear comfortable shoes with good traction, and you’ll want comfortable, loose but not to baggy clothing for ease of movement.
  • Stay hydrated: It’s important to stay hydrated, especially on hot days.
