Club research and participation data for England

Good decisions about disc golf need more than stories and rough estimates. This section will share data about clubs, courses and participation across England.

What this section will cover

  • Headline figures on numbers of clubs, courses and active players where data is available.
  • Summaries of surveys and research projects supported by the English Disc Golf Association (EDGA).
  • Simple maps or tables linking clubs and courses to regions.
  • Guidance for clubs on how to collect basic participation data in a realistic way.

Where the information comes from

Much of this information comes from clubs. EDGA gathers details on club activity, course links, membership and basic governance. This supports the club directory, course mapping, Sport England reporting and wider policy discussions.

Over time, this work will support the Club Directory, Course Finder and policy discussions with partners.

While the first datasets are being assembled, EDGA will share key figures through AGM papers, official news updates and the EDGA Facebook page. Clubs with existing data or research that could be useful are encouraged to contact us.
