Disc Golf

Yellowstone Disc Golf is No Walk in the Park

Over the river and through the woods...up the hill and across the ridge... Yellowstone's wild terrain takes disc golf to a whole new level. Keep an eye on that disc because it may be hard to find once out of sight!

For those new to the sport, disc golf is very similar to regular golf, except instead of using golf clubs to get a golf ball in a hole, you throw a golf disc to hit a "hole," which is a designated target or specially built basket. The sport involves mapped courses with 18 "holes," similar to golf, and the discs vary in design much like golf clubs for specific purposes and distance.

All major location in the park have at least one disc golf course, some more developed than others. Your location Recreation Staff will be familiar with the course, and they will have maps, scorecards, and discs for employees to borrow free of charge. These maps will soon be available in PDF form for download from this webpage (keep checking and soon you'll find the hyperlinks here).

Please play safely - avoid thermal features and keep a safe distance from any wildlife you may find on the course.
