Disc Golf

Benefits of Disc Golf

A disc golf course provides a lot of "bang for the buck", allowing dozens of players to play the same time. A successful disc golf course can have over a hundred players playing the course at the same time on a given weekend.  In contrast, a tennis court that costs more to install only has two or at most, four players at a time.

What’s the approximate cost to build a course?

We’ll assume the land is available already, but that’s an additional major expense if it’s not. A barebones installation with light duty baskets, natural tees and simple wooden signs and do-it-yourself design (not recommended) can be installed for about $350 per hole. A full service community course with a heavy duty basket, dual cement tee pads, nice dual tee signs and two sleeves for basket placements on each hole could run up to $1000 per hole which includes a basic design fee on a property with little clearing to be done. The design fee could be $2000-$3000 higher if the course requires lots of fairway clearing thru woods and the designer is involved in supervising that process. An added cost might be if the clearing is done by outside hired professionals versus park staff and volunteers. Additional amenities that may be considered would be an information sign board at the start of the course and benches at several or all holes. A very nice course can be installed for $20,000 in most places where not much clearing is required.
