Find a disc golf course near you

When I started playing disc golf, my friends and I only played a few courses in our area because we didn't know of any others. After doing a little research, I was able to find more courses near my hometown and I wish we could have played them years ago.

Most people who play disc golf for fun do not care where they play because they just enjoy having a good time with friends and family. These disc golfers usually play the same few courses in their area and do not want to search for new courses that may be more fun and challenging. Well, if you are an avid disc golfer who wants to find new courses in your area than go to the PDGA course directory.

This webpage is designed to help beginning as well as experienced disc golfers find courses in their area. Once you have reached the course directory page, you can type in your zip code, city/state, or country and the site will automatically search for courses near you. Another option the webpage provides is an advanced search tab where you can search for courses based on the rating, the type of tee area, the number of holes, etc. This is a very important feature for the beginning disc golfer because you may want to start out playing a 9 hole course or one that may be a shorter than most. Also, if you are a PDGA member and have a login name to the website, you have the ability to add a course to their directory.

If the PDGA course directory is not helpful for you, there are other websites such as Disc Golf Course Review. This website is not as official as the PDGA, but it rates the courses in a more unique format and it gives updated information on courses too. When you land on the their homepage, you will be able to look at old versus new courses as well as read reviews about which courses are being played most often and the condition they are in.

Once I started playing disc golf on a regular basis, I started getting tired of the courses we were playing because I knew how to play every hole on the course and it was becoming less and less of a challenge. Therefore, if you are like me and want to find new and more challenging courses in your area I highly recommend using the PDGA course directory.
