About Disc Golf

What is disc golf?

Disc golf is a sport much like regular golf but instead of hitting a ball from a tee area with a club toward a hole, you throw discs from a tee pad toward a basket. After each throw, you walk to where your disc landed and throw it (or another disc) again until it lands in the basket. The number of throws you take is your score. Then, you start over at the next “hole” and keep going until you finish the course. The fewer throws the better.

What do I need to play disc golf?

Not much! Public courses, including the course in Corner Brook, are free to play anytime. You will need at least one disc to get started. While you can play with any type of disc, there are disc-golf specific discs that will fly farther than traditional frisbees and stand up to hitting trees.

You can purchase discs from:

If you are just starting and are not sure what to buy, we recommend buying just one putter or a starter set from a company like Innova, Dynamic Discs, Discraft, Discmania or MVP, which usually includes three different types of discs.
