Disc Golf Solutions

Master Planned Communities

 

Disc golf offers a fresh vision for what a modern, active-lifestyle community can be, one that retains the prestige and green space appeal of a golf community, while delivering greater land-use efficiency, environmental benefits, and broader recreational value.

Whether you’re redeveloping an existing golf community or planning a new residential project, disc golf provides a viable, high-impact alternative that helps keep you in good standing with residents while supporting greater development potential.

Because a disc golf course typically requires only 30% to 50% of the land used by a comparable golf course, you can retain more acreage for additional lots, parks, or amenities, without losing the identity and appeal of a recreation-focused community.

 

Similarities to Golf Communities

Like traditional golf, disc golf provides a unique, active recreational amenity that becomes a defining feature of the community. It offers residents scenic views, walkable open space, and a shared activity that encourages social interaction. A well-designed course adds prestige and identity to a neighbourhood, helping market homes and maintain property values.

 

Key Differences That Set Disc Golf Apart

• Reduced Land Requirements – A high-quality 18-hole disc golf course can often be integrated into 30–50% of the land required for a comparable golf course, freeing up valuable acreage for more development opportunities alongside shared recreational space.

• Greater Forest Retention & Privacy – Disc golf thrives in wooded, natural terrain, allowing more mature trees and native vegetation to remain in place. This creates more privacy between homes, enhances views, and preserves the community’s natural character.

• Multi-Use Green Spaces – While traditional golf fairways are single-use, disc golf spaces can often coexist with walking trails, picnic areas, and other recreational features when designed thoughtfully, increasing utility for all residents.

• Lower Installation & Maintenance Costs – Disc golf courses cost a fraction of traditional golf facilities to build and maintain, while still providing a marketable community amenity.

 

For Existing Golf Community Redevelopments

Many golf communities are facing underutilized courses, rising maintenance costs, or shifting market demand toward more housing. Replacing a portion of the course with additional residential development can be contentious, but integrating a disc golf course as part of the redesign offers a win-win. It retains an active, green, community-defining amenity while freeing up significant land for new lots, public spaces, or community facilities.

By converting a large, single-use golf course into a smaller, multi-use disc golf space, developers can unlock more developable land without sacrificing the green space and lifestyle appeal that residents expect. This approach helps meet housing demand while preserving the community’s identity and goodwill.

 

For Large Landowners & New Developments

For those starting with a blank slate, disc golf is an ideal way to create an active recreational community with a strong sense of identity. Because it works well in forested and varied terrain, the course can be designed to wind through green corridors between neighbourhoods, linking different areas with play and pathways.

This approach not only provides a distinctive amenity, but also maximizes the available land for housing or mixed-use development while maintaining attractive, accessible green space throughout the property. The result is a community that balances high-quality recreation, natural beauty, and strong development yield.
