Bring on the friendly rivalry, laughs, and low-key bragging rights.
If you’ve got a team, group, or crew that loves a bit of fun (and maybe a sprinkle of competition), it’s time to roll out the discs and set up your very own internal disc golf showdown.
Whether you're in an office, a school, a club, or just looking to spice up your weekly routine—internal disc golf competitions are the perfect blend of active, inclusive, and just competitive enough to keep things interesting.
No full course? No worries. You can turn a park, oval, courtyard—or even a hallway—into disc golf territory. Let’s break it down.

Why Internal Disc Golf Comps Are a Hit
Picture this: teammates laughing, someone nailing an epic throw, and a manager trying (and failing) to land a putt. Yep—it’s that kind of vibe. Disc golf comps are the ultimate way to inject some energy into your group and get people connecting beyond the usual grind.
Why it works:
- Zero pressure, all fun: Newbies, veterans, and “I’m-just-here-for-the-snacks” players are all welcome
- Builds team spirit: Bonding over birdies, bogeys, and brilliant banter
- Budget-friendly: No big equipment list—just a few baskets, some discs, and your best game face
- Repeatable magic: Run them monthly, term by term, or every time someone needs an excuse to get outside
Basically, if you like good vibes, some movement, and a little trash talk in the nicest possible way—this is your jam. Not sure how to start building your crew? Here’s how to start and grow a Frisbee club—perfect for coaches, organisers, or anyone keen to spark something fun.
How to Run a Disc Golf Comp Without Losing Your Mind
Running an internal disc golf competition is way easier than organising a cricket match or booking a bowling alley. Here’s your cheat sheet:
The basics:
- Portable baskets or even DIY targets (we’ve seen people use laundry baskets—true story)
- Starter discs – one per person or team is plenty
- Space to throw – school oval, office courtyard, gym, hallway, park… you get the idea
- Scorecards – or make it chaotic and just cheer loudly
Curious how discs actually differ? Learn how putters, approach discs, and drivers can improve your game.
Pro-level fun tips:
- Mix up the challenges: Closest to the pin, trick shot hole, one-disc rounds
- Have ridiculous prizes: “Best recovery,” “Most scenic throw,” or “Loudest celebration”
- Keep the energy up: Play some music, bring snacks, and hand out badges or mini trophies
- Get people involved early: Hype it up with posters, team names, or signup sheets with silly questions like “Preferred throwing arm?”

Keeping the Disc Rollin
You ran your first comp. It was glorious. Someone threw it into a bush. Someone else made a 10-metre putt. Everyone’s smiling.
Now what?
Keep the momentum with:
- Mini-leagues – Weekly or monthly leaderboards (and maybe an end-of-season trophy that’s way too dramatic for what it is)
- Theme rounds – Fancy dress, “left-hand only,” or “staff vs students”
- Rotating organisers – Let different people run each event—more ownership, more ideas, more fun
- Custom merch – Branded discs, event tees, or little certificates from Flying Disc Store? Yes, please.
Internal comps aren’t just about the throws—they’re about the fun and the fitness. Here’s how disc golf combines fun, exercise, and community.
Final Throw: More Than Just a Game
Hosting internal disc golf competitions is more than just lobbing plastic at a basket. It’s movement, connection, a bit of chaos, and a whole lot of fun.
Whether it’s a school showdown, a workplace league, or just mates keeping score for pride—disc golf brings people together. No experience needed, just a willingness to have a go (and maybe laugh at yourself a little).
