Design and installation of Disc Golf courses
We transform your land into a safe, sustainable and fun route designed for rural tourism, sports facilities and public spaces.
I want an activity that attracts customers
Disc golf as a tourism product: for families, groups, and companies. Designs that are used year-round and activated with events and packages.
I have natural land and I want to make the most of it.
Ideal for meadows, holm oak groves and scrubland: minimal intervention, route integrated into the landscape and option of complementary income (visits, events, green fee).
I want to reclaim a difficult public space.
Disc golf works where other projects fail: degraded or underutilized areas, complicated plots and spaces with conflicting uses, with safety and coexistence as a priority.
Real-world experience in design, installation, and activation
- Spanish Champion +40 (2025) and 30+ years of experience.
- Design/project management in the USA, Spain and Cyprus (Seneca, Madrid, Paphos).
- Real activation: tournaments, leagues and operation alongside the local club.
- Presentations and institutional presence (PDGA, FITUR 2026) and media presence (Telemadrid).
- Projects underway in the Community of Madrid.
Course design
Course design is the most important phase in building a good disc golf course. A well-designed course will benefit the players and the environment where it is installed since it will offer challenges to the players using the natural elements of the park without having to act on it.
At Mad Disc Golf we have years of experience and several courses designed in the US and Spain where many PDGA events have been held, such as the Intermad in its last two editions of the AEDG Disc Golf Spanish Cup, among others.
Disc golf on farms and pastures: a perfect activity for the Iberian landscape
If you have holm oaks, cork oaks, paths, and open areas, you have the ideal setting. Disc golf blends seamlessly into the landscape with minimal intervention and can become a complementary activity for your property.
- Increase the value of the stay: guest activities without the need for large infrastructures.
- Attracts groups: companies, schools, "non-disco" stag/hen parties, associations, sports tourism.
- It works out of season: an extra excuse to travel in autumn/winter.
- Additional income: green fee, packages with accommodation, private events and guided tours.
What does a field design project include?
We don't just sell "baskets and that's it". We deliver a complete journey that can be used, maintained, and activated.
Feasibility and safety study
- Analysis of space use, intersections, sensitive areas and conflict points.
- Design of safe playing lines (orientation, distances and escape zones).
- Recommendations for coexistence with other uses (hiking, dogs, bikes, etc.).
Course design (9/18 holes, various lengths)
- Layout adapted to your objective (beginner, recreational or tournament level).
- Short and long tee options depending on the audience.
- Intelligent use of vegetation and terrain.
Signage and experience
- Route plan and visitor map.
- Tee signs with clear information.
- Basic rules, safety recommendations and gameplay flow.
Activation: constant use and return
- Opening day + introduction.
- Leagues, company events, school groups or tourist packages.
- Basic communication plan (posters, rules, photos and “how to play”).
Elements of a course
Disc golf courses all have something in common and that is that each hole has a starting point (tee-out) and a basket (target). From here a design can be as complex as desired and the terrain allows.
Basket
It is the main element of every field.
It is the object in which you have to insert the disc to complete each hole.
It is made of metal with a galvanized finish and weighs around 33 kg. It is normally anchored to the ground in a concrete socket and is detachable and easily removable.
There are many manufacturers, brands, designs, and prices so we recommend that you contact us for more details.
tee off
They are the teeing ground for each hole.
With dimensions of around 2 x 3 meters, they are usually made of concrete (a small slab), although they can also be made of wood, artificial grass, or soil.
A good tee is essential to good hole design.
Signaling
Signage is the third element of a disc golf course.
It consists of the tee sign (or exit signs) and the course map.
Through these posters, the player is informed of the dimensions and characteristics of the holes so that they can play them correctly.
Normally, they include educational information for beginners and curious people who come to see what disc golf is.
Obstacles
The obstacles are not elements that are always present but they can help in the design of the route.
They have a dual function.
On the one hand, they serve to protect certain areas or zones of the park through which you do not want a disc to fly, either for safety or because it conflicts with another hole.
On the other hand, they can be used to add difficulty to certain holes and increase the level of demand, helping to separate the scores of players with different levels of play so as not to penalize the best players and make a necessary difference in some cases.
