Yorkton's first disc golf course opened in the spring of 2011.  Designed by Joe Hunt and Wayne Harvey, disc golf is similar to regular golf.  Instead of using golf clubs and balls aiming for a hole, players use golf discs and aim for a target basket.  This target basket has a pole extending up from the ground with chains and a basket where the disc lands.  The object of the game is to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws.  Each hole begins at a tee area and finishes at the basket. 

Objective and Rules

• The objective of the game is to traverse the course in the fewest number of throws.
• Each throw is made from the resting point of the previous throw.
• Score is determined by counting the number of throws made on each hole plus penalty strokes.
• The player is provided with a teeing area from which to begin each hole and a target to complete the hole.
• Natural obstacles are very much a part of the game and must not be altered in any way.
• A disc coming to rest completely out of bounds, or more than 2 meters above the ground, will result in a one stroke penalty. The next throw will be made from the last inbound location.
• Out of bounds is the tree line along Melville Avenue.

Courtesy

• Do not throw until you are certain that the disc will not distract or injure any person.
• Players should watch the other members of their group throw in order to help locate discs.
• Players furthest from the hole should throw first.
• Players should take care not to produce any distracting noises or any potential visual distractions for those who are throwing.
• Shouting to warn someone in danger of being struck by a disc is not a violation of courtesy.
