Things You'll Need:
- Permission from the City
- Sponsorship
-
Step 1
Play lots of different flying disc golf courses so that you can get an idea of what makes a good course.
-
Step 2
Decide what type of course you want to set up. This includes deciding on how difficult a course you want and how long holes are to be.
-
Step 3
Find unused land that can accommodate an expansive flying disc golf course. Many cities include disc golf courses in public parks while others will want them removed from heavily trafficked areas.
-
Step 4
Canvas the city to find businesses willing to sponsor the course. Typically, a business will sponsor an individual hole. The sponsor's donations will be used to maintain the grounds and you'll want to put in a placard of some sort recognizing the sponsorship.
-
Step 5
Recruit family and friends to help you with the set up of the course. This can include clearing out the underbrush, digging out tee boxes and pouring concrete for baskets and tee boxes.
-
Step 6
Make sure to include alternative basket placements in your course design. Try and have at least one alternate placement for each hole so that you can move the tee around to change the setup and increase difficulty. Each hole should have at least one short and one long basket placement.
-
Step 7
Post a course map at the first hole. This should clearly identify the route, as well as out of bounds areas and alternate placements. You can include maps for players to take, but you'll need to be prepared to restock the supply often.
-
Step 8
Try to avoid placing baskets close to roadways. A basket shot that sails too far can easily hit a car and cause an accident, and so can a tee shot caught in the wind.
