Disc Golf is a internationally recognized professional sport. These organizations, along with hundreds of community based organizations, provide a framework for disc golf promotion and competition. The simple answer is that everyone can. A disc golf course serves a broader portion of the community than many narrower interest activities with higher cost, skill or fitness levels required to even begin to play. Because disc golf is so easy to understand and enjoy, no one is excluded.
Players merely match their pace to their capabilities and proceed from there.
Since most courses are located in city or regional parks there is no charge to play. There are now more than 600 Disc Golf courses in the United States and Canada, nearly all installed by city and county parks. Disc golf has low capital and maintenance costs, is environmentally sound, is played year-round in all climates and is enjoyed immediately even by beginners of all ages. West Virginia currently has three courses. One on private land in Paw Paw, in the eastern panhandle, one at a whitewater rafting company in Lansing, and one in Huntington that services Marshall University.
