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 don't have a well-defined area like a regular leisure=golf_course. To add the whole course, the easy way is to add a node near the first hole or the map of the whole course and add all the information there. To add the whole course completely, add the ways with disc_golf=hole for every hole. A hole should include ref=* to indicate which hole this is and par=* for the number of strokes normally required to complete a disc golf hole. Add disc_golf=tee on the node at the beginning of the hole and disc_golf=basket to the node at the end of the hole.

Add everything to a relation with type=disc_golf_course / disc_golf_course and add leisure=disc_golf_course and name=* if the course has a name. The hole as members get the role hole

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.
