Disc Golf Course Design: 8 Reasons Why It Truly Matters

Disc Golf Course Design

It may be pretty obvious that playing a disc golf course that weaves in and out of swamps and poisonous plants is not the most enjoyable location for the sport. However, there are many other important reasons why professional disc golf course design is important.

Think about the last course you visited. Was it short? Long? Did it have interesting hiking opportunities, or did it stay mostly flat? Most courses utilize different elements of the terrain to make the game more interesting and challenging. RAD Creations, has the top designers in Australia who are well experienced in designing new and unique courses that are safe for all park users, utilise the natural terrain and encourage visitors to explore the park.

If you’re looking to install a new course or know of a course which needs to be updated, here are some excellent reasons why professional course design is the most important part of any disc golf course.

THE TOP 8 REASONS WHY DESIGN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A DISC GOLF COURSE

Disc Golf Course Design: Money, Money, Money 

Investing in a new design to improve or completely revamp your old disc golf course will bring visitors to your course, perhaps from all over the country. Innovative clubs and towns can put new and interesting courses on the map for tournaments, bringing in the money for your community.

Disc Golf Course Design: Safety

Again, we don’t want to see your little ones caught in thickets. A course should be designed with everyone in mind, and if you feel that wading through bogs is a prime pastime, you are probably alone. Introducing a new course with safety in mind will make your course a prime location for anyone looking for clean fun.

Disc Golf Course Design: Course Flow

Consider how many of the disc golf courses you’ve visited have flowed well. Were they all easy to navigate and offered short walks between holes. More likely than not, at least one of the courses had some flaw or hard-to-reach location that made playing more difficult and less enjoyable. Proper and innovative course designs make people want to visit the course. A well-designed course not only has adaptable locations but also offers challenges for all abilities.

Equipment

Players love to visit new places to disc golf, but it can be frustrating to always lose equipment in the many hazards. A course designed specifically for beginners may consider less traps and more room to maneuver. Intermediate and advanced courses may consider adding more obstacles, but a course designed well will take everything into consideration, making your course a prime location for anyone to play.

Family Friendly

Courses that do not advertise family participation will lose a lot of revenue. Investing in an excellent course design brings families and friends around regularly. And, if families can participate in disc golf, the sport will grow like wildfire through word-of-mouth.

No Interference

Players are more likely to flock to courses that don’t overlap other activities or itself. Professional disc golf course designs keep everything in mind, especially how play will affect others on the course and off. A bad design may involve discs flying in from not only other activities but adjacent tees as well. A well-designed course removes these problems, even with small courses.

More Room

Like our previous reason, a course with a lot of room can still fall flat if the creator doesn’t design it properly. A good designer can make a lot out of a little amount of space. The design, in the end, is more important than the amount of room available.

Prestige

A tournament circuit is not going to come to an event hosted in a park that is unsafe, too limiting, or doesn’t provide a good sense of flow. The better the design, the more likely players will flock to your zone.

Clearly, having a disc golf course with designs specific to your terrain and community will enhance the overall likelihood of getting people outdoors. As it turns out, a course design can make or break your game. For your disc golf, frisbees disc and accessories browse our online shop.
