    Review by maniak in course Toronto Island

    3.50 star(s) Good, not Great There are a number of positive things to say about this course. To start, it's very well signed. There are two concrete tee pads and two baskets for each hole, each tee pad on each hole has its own sign indicating how far it is to both baskets. As a result of the course having...

    Review by maniak in course Langley Passive Park

    4.00 star(s) Best Course in Vancouver This course incorporates many different situations. Tight treed holes, long open holes, doglegs left and right, and it also has nice use of elevation change. Hole # 14 was pretty cool, it was only about 150 feet but the hole was about 50 feet above the tee. The course...

    Hope for DG in Olympics one day.

    Golf has actually been a part of the Olympics before, in 1900 and 1904. And rugby in 1900, 1908, 1920, and 1924.

    Disc Golf. What's MISSING???

    I completely agree with the tees comment and I think this is something a lot of people overlook. If you want a disc golf course to be fun for beginners, advanced players and everyone in between, you need multiple (ie. 3 or 4) sets of tees. I think it's even more important with disc golf over...

    Review by maniak in course Bowen Park

    3.00 star(s) Fun but could be better This course is right in the heart of Nanaimo in a busy park and is easily accessible by foot, bike, car and presumably public transportation. The park is full of amenities such as benches, a water tap near the course, picnic tables, gazebos, swimming pools and many other...

    Do you use your scorebook?

    If you play a course not listed, how come you don't list it? It will help the rest of us find it.:)

    Do you use your scorebook?

    I noticed that of the top five played courses, only one has more scores recorded than my home course which is an average little 9 hole. This got me thinking, how many of you out there use your scorebook and why or why not. I record all of my scores so I can tell if my efforts to improve are...

    What Was Your First Disc?

    Starter set consisting of a DX Wraith, DX Roc and a DX Aviar. The Wraith took the most time to learn but after I figured out the whole nose down thing, I really made some improvements.

    DG: Popularity by Country

    OK, I was also curious, so I re-crunched the numbers and ran the same stat only this time using the criteria of courses with 18 holes or more. This appears to show a more true picture as Sweden and the States are leading the way. Perhaps using the criteria of courses with 18 holes or greater...

    DG: Popularity by Country

    Disc golf is probably most well known in the United States, that's the perception anyway. I decided to crunch some numbers to get an idea of how popular disc golf is given a country's population. I got the # of courses from this website and the country population figures from Wikipedia. The...
