Tag:leisure=disc_golf_course

A disc golf course is a course to play Disc golf, also known as frolf or frisbee golf.

Disc golf is a sport in which players throw a disc at a target; it is played using rules similar to golf, usually played on a course with 9 or 18 "holes". Players complete a hole by throwing a disc from a tee area toward a basket, throwing again from where the previous throw landed, until the disc lands in the basket. Most disc golf courses are built in semi-natural environments, such as the edges of a park or other recreational areas and do not have a dedicated area like golf courses.

How to map

Disc golf courses often lack a clearly defined area, unlike a regular leisure=golf_course.

Basic

Add a node near the first hole or near the course map sign, and tag it with all relevant course information like leisure=disc_golf_course, name=*,

Detailed

Map each hole as with disc_golf=hole. Each hole should also include:

• ref=* to indicate the hole number (e.g. "1","2", etc.)
• par=* for the number of throws expected to complete the hole
• For courses with multiple layouts (e.g. a 9-hole layout within an 18-hole course), use ref:9hole=*, ref:layout_a=* or similar keys to distinguish them.

Map the tee and the basket for each hole:

• disc_golf=tee on the starting of the hole
• disc_golf=basket on the ending of the hole

Add elements to a relation:

• Create a tagged with type=disc_golf_course and leisure=disc_golf_course
• Add name=* if the course has a name
• Add each hole (only the way, not the tee or the basket) as a member with the role hole.

Tags to use in combination

• name=*
• disc_golf:course=* - number of holes
  • disc_golf:course=9_hole - 9-hole disc golf course
  • disc_golf:course=18_hole - 18 - hole disc golf course
• disc_golf:par=* - Total par of a course, combined with the number of holes indicating the difficulty of course
• addr:*=*
• operator=*
• phone=*
• website=*
• opening_hours=*
  • opening_hours=24/7 - Accessible without restrictions
• fee=yes/no
• contact:*=*

Features within a disc golf course

For details on how to map/tag features refer to their specific pages.

You can see in the table below, or by referring to , there are several keys without an associated page. The undocumented features are subject to a current proposal in development to flesh out the proper tag set and usage.

Applies to all features:

• Do not use sport=disc_golf or leisure=pitch.

Map Illustration Key
Feature	Element	Description	Number
hole		A hole is represented by a way along the standard playing path from the tee to the green. Should include ref=* to indicate which hole this is.	1
tee		An area where play begins on a golf hole.	2
basket		Ending point of a disc golf hole.	3
mando		(Optional) An object (or line) that must be passed on a specific side. Sometimes used to mark the plane that has to be passed instead.	4
out_of_bounds		(Optional) A line or area that must not be touched or crossed with the disc.	5
fairway		(Optional) An area between the tee and basket. Usually comprising clearings, meadows etc).	6
island		(Optional) Area around the basket that is exclusively in bounds.	7
drop_zone		(Optional) Dedicated location from which players resume playing after making an error such as not correctly passing a mando.	8
putting		(not implemented) Practice area. Alternative is 'putt_range' or 'putt_training'
dropbox		(not implemented) Location of lost and found.
clubhouse		The building dedicated as a clubhouse. Always tag building=* for the building itself.

Common mapping pitfalls

• Using disc_golf=pin instead of disc_golf=basket.
• Using golf=* anywhere on the disc golf course.
• Using ref=* somewhere else than on hole.
• Using name=* on every hole instead or additionally to ref=* to force a rendering. See more: Tagging for the renderer
• Using landuse=* or natural=* to indicate its surface. Use surface=* instead.
