Par for 18 baskets is considered a score of 54. Besides Cameron Park, Waco also has a disc golf course at Woodway Park, and both are public courses. Other courses are scattered throughout Texas, with several in Round Rock, Stephenville, Fort Worth, Dallas, Carrollton and Austin. Schell said the Waco parks department maintains the Cameron Park grounds, which includes things like cutting the grass. The PDGA is responsible for the upkeep of the baskets and concrete tees.
Disc golf has similar obstacles as traditional golf, such as hitting a tree halfway down the course.
But unlike traditional golf, disc golfers don't have to pay greens fees, don't need to rent a cart and don't have to carry a bulky bag of clubs. David Roberts, who has played disc golf with Reynolds for the past seven years, said he uses reverse psychology as his strategy. Aim for a tree, then you will get a straight shot and hopefully get the disc into the basket. It's pretty out here, and it's free. Another benefit of disc golf is exercise.
