What Are the Design Requirements for a Disc Golf Course?
Environment:
- Trim and remove trees and undergrowth with minimal environmental disturbance.
- Use appropriate ground cover, such as mulch or wood chips, where necessary.
Course and Equipment:
- Before construction begins, a map of the fairways, tee boxes, greens and pathways should be created to design the optimal layout for the property. The aim is to make efficient use of the space while accommodating the appropriate number of holes.
- Install signage displaying course regulations, safety instructions and the pack-in/pack-out policy.
- Tee boxes will feature a sign displaying the hole number, its distance (measured in feet), a map of the hole and marker arrows or signs indicating the direction to the next tee.
- Each hole can have a long tee pad, a short tee pad or both, depending on the design. Both natural and artificial tee boxes are acceptable. The minimum size for each tee pad should be four feet wide by eight feet long.
- Holes should be no less than 100 feet in length and feature varying levels of difficulty to accommodate players of all skill levels.
- Disc golf baskets must be firmly anchored to the ground to ensure player safety and protect against theft or damage.
Waste receptacles are required to maintain cleanliness and encourage proper waste disposal.
There’s a new way to register for parks and recreation programs or book a facility. It’s easy to create an account! If you need help getting started, visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
The French interface of our new registration system is still under development, however it is important that the City goes live with the new system as the existing registration and facility booking system is no longer supported by the vendor. Residents can still receive this service in French by calling 311 to have a French-speaking operator process bookings or registrations. The French interface will be launched in time for the fall/winter registration period.
