Compact Courses
Compact Disc Golf Courses are simply compressed versions of full disc golf courses, with a maximum Par of 3. We try to incorporate the same types of obstacles, throw types, and hole styles into the design, just on a shorter scale. They can still serve a broad number of players, skill sets and levels of mobility, despite their shorter length with the use of multiple tees per hole. We typically design a compact course with both "Purple" tees and "Green" tees.
Purple tees range in length from 50-80' and are great for young or new players to the sport, or for advanced players looking to improve their putting game. Green tees range in length from 80-200' and are the perfect next step for players that have learned the basics and are looking to throw longer distances, or for advanced players looking for ace runs! These shorter courses can be very exciting to play and provide a great introduction to the sport of disc golf for families and friends!
These shorter courses have much smaller land requirements as compared to full sized courses, in fact we've installed 9 hole courses on properties as small as 2 acres! But just like their larger siblings, these courses can come complete with Tee Pads, Signage, and professional Baskets!Due to their smaller land requirements and shorter throws, compact courses are often an ideal solution for providing disc golf in multi-use parks, or in closer proximity to other venue features, without sacrificing the safety of players or other facility guests!
They are also an excellent match for one of our larger "Long Track" courses providing something for the rest of the family to play while the more skilled players take in a longer game on the big course. They're also a perfect warm up area, or cool down after a big round!
In the 70+ years we’ve been coming here, no change has had such a profound impact on the time we all spend here, or the amount we now use this property!

Skills Development
Fluent Disc Sport’s Discovery Zone lineup is expanding beyond compact courses to include a full range of skills development solutions for players of all levels. In addition to our 3 to 6 hole Discovery Zone layouts with putting stations, we’re introducing purpose-built training areas such as disc golf driving ranges, designed to help players refine distance, accuracy, and shot-shaping in a dedicated, measurable environment.
We’re also developing a series of specialized practice structures that replicate real-world challenges, from elevated and sloped putts to obstacles that mimic tight fairways, tricky wind conditions, and unique shot angles. Together, these offerings create a versatile toolkit for parks, schools, resorts, and training facilities looking to engage players, host skills clinics, or add interactive experiences to events.
Whether your goal is to attract new players, give seasoned competitors a place to sharpen their game, or host innovative skills challenges, our Disc Golf Discovery Zone solutions deliver adaptable, high-impact experiences to suit your audience and space!
Temporary / Event Courses
If your business, town, or event is looking for something extra, consider a temporary disc golf course. These can be set up in small areas using baskets with "portable bases" which are easy to set up and take down, and leave no footprint once removed. With adequate space and/or buffers available, temporary courses can even be placed in closer proximity to other attractions. Our designers will always ensure that safety is maintained and fun is maximized! Event courses provide both players and spectators something to do and add an active component that is fun for all ages!
We've designed temporary courses for both Summer and Winter events, enabling hundreds of families to experience the sport and learn about their local clubs. Temporary courses for events can also provide a good anchor for disc golf merchandise and equipment vendors and can increase your event revenues through vendor profit sharing agreements.

Accessibility in Short Track Design
Short Track courses like Discovery Zones and Compact layouts offer some of the best opportunities to integrate accessible features. With shorter distances, simplified routings, and flexible footprints, these courses can be tailored with stable paths, mobility-friendly tees, and adjusted basket placements to welcome a broader range of players. Temporary installations also provide unique opportunities to introduce accessible disc golf experiences at schools, festivals, and community events.
