      1. Disc Golf Game Rules

        General Rules: Disc golf is played like ball golf using a flying disc. One point is counted each time the disc is thrown and when a penalty is incurred. The object is to acquire the lowest score.

        Tee Throws: Tee throws must be completed within the designated tee area. Do not throw until the players in front of you are out of range.

        Lie: The spot where the previous throw has landed, mark with a mini disc or turn over the thrown disc, directly toward the hole.

        Throwing Order: After teeing off, the player with the least amount of throws on the previous hole is the first to tee off on the next hole.

        Fairway Throws: Fairway throws must be made with the foot closest to the hole on the lie. The other foot may be no closer to the hole than the lie. A run-up and a normal follow- through, after release, are allowed.

        Completion of Hole: A disc that comes to rest in the Disc Pole Hole basket or chains constitute successful completion of that hole.

        Un-Playable Lie: Any disc that comes to rest above the ground is considered an un-playable lie, such as landing in a tree. The disc must be thrown from the lie on the ground, directly underneath the un-playable lie.

        Out of Bounds: A throw that lands out of bounds must be played from a point 3 feet in bounds from where the disc went out of bounds. In or on top of pavilions is out of bounds.

        Penalties: Recreational players will not be penalized for rule infractions. Other players will keep you honest. Advanced players will be penalized one stroke for an out of bounds throw.

        Course Courtesy: Please pick up trash and help new players play by the rules. Don’t distract others with loud noises when they make a tee throw. The one who has the most fun wins!
