Disc Golf Courses

Disc golf (occasionally called Frisbee golf) is a flying disc sport in which players throw a disc at a target and is often played on a 9 or 18 hole course. There's five disc golf courses in Trumbull County!

Disc golf is played similarly to golf, only with the use of discs in lieu of a ball and baskets instead of holes, although the baskets themselves are often referred to as “holes” and the starting points, which may be a simple marker or cement pad, as “tees.” Players throw discs toward the golf holes, attempting to make as few throws as possible before reaching the destination. Disc golfers may select from many types of discs at any time while playing a disc golf hole. A driver, generally flat and designed to travel long distances, is typically the first type of disc used when tackling a new disc golf hole. Mid-range discs tend to be thicker than drivers, offer a bit more control to the user, and are best used for moderate-throwing distances. The bulkier putters are designed for short tosses, offering better maneuverability in place of distance. Please bring your own discs or frisbees to experience this unique outdoor activity.
