We’re all looking for something to get us out of the house these days. If you’re looking for a physical activity that involves time outside and a bit of skill and competition, visit a Richland County Disc Golf course. Disc Golf has been growing in popularity throughout the United States. It’s a great lifetime sport and the perfect healthy activity for the whole family! It’s easy to learn and accessible to all ages.

Disc Golf is played in a similar way to golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, players throw discs at a disc golf basket and attempt to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws. Starting from a tee area, players progress through a fairway, finishing when they land the disc in the hole. The hole can be any target, but most often it’s an elevated metal basket.

Generally, a course is made up of 9 or 18 holes across varied terrain where trees, shrubs, and more natural obstacles offer exciting challenges to maneuver your discs around. You’ll often find a Disc Golf Course available for free in public parks. Players start at hole one and complete the course in order, playing through to the last hole. The player with the lowest total cumulative throws wins!
