Everything is full due to limited space. The majority of disc golf courses are free where traditional golfers must pay greens fees. The player with the fewest strokes on the previous hole tees-off first. Double tees are provided at some courses, with longer tee-shots providing experts a harder challenge. After teeing off, the player furthest from the hole throws the first up-shot.
Players throw from behind the spot where the first disc landed.
Running starts before the throw are allowed approximately 50 feet from the basket. The distance from tee-box to hole can range from 150 to more than 1,000 feet. If a stroke leaves the field of play, the next stroke is played from the point where the disc went out, with a one-stroke penalty. Other hazards include unwary park users and trees clogging the fairways. Mulligans are negotiable.
