Location of Disc Golf (Frisbee) Courses in Melbourne and Victoria


Disc golf is played like traditional golf, but instead of hitting a ball with a club, players throw a flying disc from a tee area towards an elevated metal basket. The aim is to complete each hole in the fewest throws possible.
Disc golf is suitable for beginners and experienced players. Most courses in public parks are free to play, although players generally need to bring their own discs. Courses located at golf clubs, resorts and other attractions may charge a playing fee. Check the individual listing for current access arrangements, costs and disc hire or loan options.

Rules of the Game
The aim is to complete every hole in the fewest throws possible. The player with the lowest total score at the end of the course wins.
- Tee Throws - Each hole begins with a throw from the designated tee area
- Lie - The lie is the position where the disc comes to rest. The next throw is made from directly behind this position
- Throwing Order - The player with the lowest score on the previous hole throws first. After teeing off, the player whose disc is furthest from the basket throws next
- Fairway Throws - A run-up and follow-through are permitted unless otherwise indicated
- Putting - When throwing from within 10 metres of the basket, the player must remain behind the lie until the disc comes to rest

- Completion of a Hole - A hole is complete when the disc comes to rest in the basket or is supported by the chains. A disc resting on top of the basket does not count
- Out of Bounds - If a disc lands completely within an area marked as out of bounds, add one penalty throw and continue from where the disc was last in bounds
- Trees - If a disc comes to rest in a tree, play the next throw from directly below it unless the course rules state otherwise
Safety and Park Courtesy
- Always give other park users the right of way
- Do not throw until the fairway and basket area are clear
- Check for walkers, cyclists, vehicles and other players before throwing
- Take care when retrieving discs from trees, waterways and out-of-bounds areas
- Follow all course signs and local park regulations
- Place rubbish in the bins provided and help keep the course tidy
