Disc Golf Rules, Safety, and Etiquette

Basic Rules:

1. Each throw counts as a stroke.
2. The player farthest from the basket throws first.
3. Tee shots must be made from the designated tee pad.
4. After a throw, the next shot is taken from where the disc landed.
5. A basket is completed when the disc comes to rest inside the chains or tray.

 Etiquette:

• Wait for the fairway to clear before throwing.
• Stay still and quiet while others are throwing.
• Be respectful of other players, trail users, and the course.
• Help locate lost discs when possible.

 Safety:

• Check surroundings before throwing.
• Avoid throwing if hikers or animals are near the target area.
• Watch for uneven terrain, roots, and steep edges.
• In an emergency, call 911 and provide your location as “Crocus Bluff Lookout.”
   

Out of Bounds:

• All public trails are out of bounds.
• If your disc lands on or across a public trail, it is considered OB.
• Penalty: Take a one-stroke penalty and throw from the last in-bounds position or from a designated drop zone if marked.
