FAQs
The Questions We Get Asked
Straight answers on depth, environment, safety, suitability and cost.
Is disc golf just throwing a frisbee at a basket?
It starts there, but the sport has real depth. Players use a range of discs for drives, approaches and putts across varied terrain. There is a professional tour, a world championship and courses designed by specialists who understand flight paths, risk-reward strategy and environmental integration.
Does it damage the environment or bushland?
A well-designed course protects the land. We use low-impact routing, natural tees and erosion controls to keep the landscape intact. Native vegetation is preserved and courses can even support conservation by formalizing paths and keeping people away from sensitive areas.
Will it attract antisocial behaviour?
The opposite. A disc golf course brings positive, regular activity to a space. More people means more eyes on the park, which creates natural passive surveillance. When a community takes ownership of a course, it becomes a point of pride, not a problem.
Is every park or property suitable?
No — and we will tell you honestly if yours is not. Site suitability depends on size, terrain, safety buffers, ecology, access and community context. That is exactly why our feasibility assessment exists. We never recommend a course where it will not work.
How much does a course cost?
Costs range from a basic community layout to a championship-level destination. What drives the budget is land preparation, basket quality, tee surfaces and design complexity. Professional design saves money long-term by avoiding expensive fixes. Start with an Assess Your Site enquiry and we will give you a clear picture.
