This guide is for anyone about to play disc golf for the first time or after a long break. It gives you simple steps so you can turn up at a course in England, feel prepared and enjoy the round.
Step one – learn the basics
If you are completely new, start with What is Disc Golf for a quick overview. You will see how a hole works, what a basket looks like and why discs fly the way they do.
Step two – get some discs
You do not need a huge bag. A putter, a midrange and a fairway driver are more than enough for your first months of play. Many clubs and shops can suggest starter sets, and the Equipment page explains the difference between disc types.
Step three – first throws
Before you head to a course, find a field or open space and try a few throws. The How to Throw page gives you simple pointers on grip, stance and follow-through so you avoid bad habits early.
Step four – play your first round
Use the Course Finder to pick an accessible course. Go with a friend if you can, arrive with plenty of time and keep your pace steady. Focus on clean throws rather than distance.
Step five – join the community
Once you enjoy playing, visit the Club Directory to find local groups. For regular play and access to EDGA Tour events you can also look at Membership.
