As the sport expands, one question stands out for course designers and local councils alike what makes a disc golf cage truly professional and built to last?

What Is a Disc Golf Cage and Why RAD ACE Permanent Basket Matter
A disc golf cage or basket is the heart of every disc golf course. It’s where each hole ends and where precision meets celebration. For public parks and competition-level courses, permanent disc golf baskets are essential. Unlike portable models, permanent cages are fixed into the ground with reinforced anchors, designed to handle all weather conditions and constant public use.
The RAD ACE was purpose-built for exactly this environment. Manufactured with heavy-duty galvanised steel and finished with weather-resistant powder coating, the ACE withstands harsh Australian climates from coastal salt air to the red dust of regional WA.
Every aspect of its design prioritises longevity, safety, and performance. The 24-chain catching system ensures reliable disc capture, while the welded steel structure prevents movement and wear over time. For councils and schools, that means less maintenance, better value, and a long-term asset for community recreation.
PDGA Approval & Why It Matters for Competitive Courses
For those new to the sport, PDGA approval (Professional Disc Golf Association) is the gold standard for competitive equipment. It certifies that a disc golf target meets international design and performance specifications including height, catching zone, and chain configuration ensuring fair and consistent play.
The RAD ACE Permanent Disc Golf Basket proudly carries PDGA Championship-level approval, meaning it’s suitable for everything from local tournaments to international-standard competitions.
Why does that matter?
Because PDGA approval guarantees players are training and competing on professional-grade infrastructure. It also gives course designers, schools, and local governments the confidence that their investment meets global quality standards, making their facilities eligible to host sanctioned events.
For professional clubs and disc golf entrepreneurs, PDGA certification helps attract players, sponsorships, and tourism turning quality infrastructure into community and economic value.
