Things You'll Need:
- Frisbees or discs
-
Step 1
Start by choosing a starting point and keep the course design in mind. Usually, you want to finish close to where you started, so think about a sequence of targets that will lead you in a circle.
-
Step 2
Pick targets that are clearly visible from the tee box and all points along the way. Loosing sight of the target is a quick path to frustration.
-
Step 3
Pick targets of consistent size and shape if you are a beginner. This will help you hone your skills, improve your aim and prepare you to throw at baskets on professional courses.
-
Step 4
Vary the length of each hole you create. Like traditional golf courses, disc golf courses have short, mid-length and long holes with ratings of par three, par four and par five.
-
Step 5
Pick targets that accustom you to dealing with common hazards. Frisbee golf courses often have lakes, ponds, rivers, roads, bushes, tall grass and thick stands of trees as obstacles. You should get used to flying around, through and over these hazards.
-
Step 6
Don't choose moving targets. Though this can certainly add to the difficulty and challenge of the game, on a regulation course the baskets will be fixed.
-
Step 7
Keep safety in mind. Do not throw over busy roads because a stray Frisbee may cause a traffic accident.
-
Step 8
Buy or make a Frisbee golf basket that you can use to practice short shots at home in your back yard.
