The sport is usually played on a course with 9 or 18 holes, each consisting of a teeing area and target (basket). Players complete a hole by throwing a disc from a tee pad or tee area toward a basket, throwing again from where the previous throw came to rest, until the disc comes to rest in the designated basket. Disc golf targets are composed of a metal basket supported by a center pole, with chains hanging from an upper band. They are designed to catch the incoming discs, which then fall into the basket.

Disc golf is a flying disc sport in which players throw a disc at a target, similar to traditional golf. The objective is to complete the course in the fewest throws, with the course consisting of a series of holes with targets usually metal baskets with chains. It combines elements of both traditional golf and frisbee, offering a fun and active outdoor experience.

Discs:

Players use specially designed discs, often called "golf discs," which have different flight characteristics and are chosen based on the throw and course layout.
