Players participate at their own risk and are responsible for harm to person or property.
Play is first come, first serve
Disc golf is played like ball golf, but you’re using a flying disc. One stroke is counted each time the disc is thrown and when a penalty is incurred.
Participants must “Tee Off” at each hole, which must be completed within or behind the designated tee box area. (The cement tee pad).
After Teeing Off, the player whose disc is farthest from the hole always throws first.
The player with the least amount of strokes on the previous hole will tee off on the succeeding hole. •
A run-up and normal follow-through, after release, is allowed for all throws.
Within 10 yards of the hole, a player may not step past the point of their lie, while making their putt.
Falling or jumping is not allowed
A disc that comes to rest in, not on top of, the hole basket constitutes successful completion of that hole. Disc Golf Rules
A player may not move, alter, bend or hold back any part of a tree or bush between the lie and the hole. The rules require you to take the “least invasive” stance behind your disc.
However the player may obtain relief from casual water, loose leaves or debris, broken branches no longer connected to tree, or motor vehicles.
A thrown disc that hits another player, spectator, or animal shall be played where it comes to rest.
Any disc that comes to rest more than six (6) feet above the ground is considered unplayable.
After declaring an unplayable lie the disc must be thrown from the new lie on the ground, directly underneath the unplayable lie (1 stroke penalty).
A disc shall be declared lost if the player cannot locate it within three (3) minutes after arriving at the spot where it was last seen.
A throw that lands out-of-bounds must be played from where the disc went out-of-bounds.
Over a fence, in the road and across the road is out-of-bounds (1 stroke penalty).
Be courteous to other users. Do not throw until the players ahead of you are out of range. If people are on the fairway, call "fore" to let them know that you are playing through.
Walk on mowed grass areas where possible to reduce erosion.
Only cross the street at a stop sign or designated cross walk.
Help protect the course by not altering any of the vegetation and properly disposing of trash.
No glass containers, alcohol, or illegal substances in the course areas.
No unauthorized motor vehicles on trails or in course areas.
Littering of any kind is a courtesy violation and a 1–stroke penalty.
Kent State University staff-led programs take priority to open play.
