Equipment:
One of the most attractive aspects of disc golf is its relative low cost and minimal impact on an existing park. Tees and targets define each hole. Signs inform players of the course layout. Without them, players may become lost. Trash cans and benches will make your course more appealing and user friendly. The following pages introduce the different pieces of equipment that will be the foundations of any disc golf course.

Targets
The most obviously unique part of a disc golf course is the targets. In the early days of disc golf, trees, light poles, and trash cans were designated as targets. In 1975 the Pole Hole™ was invented, issuing in the era of disc golf as more than a passtime, it had become a sport. The DISCatcher® PRO represents the state of the art in disc golf target technology.
An enjoyable, satisfying, and fun disc golf experience can only result from a fair and safe course.
