Course Notes
- Play Safe! Never put other players or park users at risk.
- Place you basket 30m/98ft behind the goal. Or use a a stick, branch, yard brush, etc.
- The football pitch must be the standard size, 95m to 105m long.
- Play as if there is a net on both goals. Never score a goal with your disc.
- Move your tee positions left and right to avoid churning up the pitch.
- If the goal or penalty area markings don’t line up use the markings in the half of the pitch your disc is in.
Rules for all 9 Holes
- All PDGA Rules apply.
- Outside of the width of the pitch is Out of Bounds.
- Through and inside the goal is RESTRICTED. Add one penalty throw each time a disc goes over the goal line between the posts and under the top bar. The goal drop zone is on the corner of the goal area.
Rules for Hole 8 – Go Scramble
- Mandatory. The disc must go to the right of the closest goal post. If a disc crosses the vertical plane shown on the hole map the player receives one penalty throw and proceeds to drop zone at corner of the goal area.
- The Mandatory is still in play for any throw from the goal area. The disc must go to right of the same goal post. Discs can be thrown over the goal.
- On the pitch only goal box is in bounds. OB rules apply to discs that come to rest on all other areas of the pitch.
- The whole area behind the goal is Hazard except for Circle 1. A player whose disc is in a hazard receives one penalty throw. The lie is not relocated.
Rules for Hole 9 – Three Islands
- All throws from the Tee must come-to-rest on an Island to be able to mark on the Island. For any throw from the Tee that comes-to-rest OB, proceed to DZ #1 with a penalty throw.
- All throws from Island #1 or DZ #1, must come-to-rest on an Island to be able to mark on the Island. For any throw from Island #1 or DZ #1 that comes-to-rest OB, proceed to DZ #2 with a penalty throw.
- All throws from Island #2 or DZ #2, must come-to-rest on an Island to be able to mark on the Island. For any throw from Island #2 or DZ #2 that comes-to-rest OB, proceed to DZ #3 with a penalty throw.
- All throws from Island #3 or DZ #3, use regular OB rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why create the Global Disc Golf game?
Outside of North America and Northern Europe most towns, cities, regions don’t have a single disc golf course.
This course can be used in those areas to grow disc golf, run open days, club events, tournaments, etc.
How much does it cost to play?
The game is free to play for everyone.
Do you save any personal info?
No data is saved by the web app.
Only the data you enter on the scorecard plus time and date are sent to the server.
This course is way too hard!
That’s not a question.
A beginner’s layout is in the works and will be released later in 2024. If you have any hole layout suggestions email Nathan or message on Instagram.
Can I use it for my club, school, college, community, work event, etc. with our own digital or paper scorecards?
Yes. However you must clearly credit Global Disc Golf on all promotions, programs, scorecards, awards, and all other materials using the Global Disc Golf logo and website url. Please share photos and stories from your event and throw some money in the tip jar.
Who’s paying for this? How are you making money?
PDGA Europe is supporting the launch of the course. I hope to have a disc golf retailer sponsors for each country or region. And maybe a tip jar.
The Global Disc Golf Course ©2024 is free to use when Scorecards include a link to www.globaldisc.golf or the @GlobalDiscGolf Instagram account.
