Disc golf has found its home in parks and green spaces of all different shapes and sizes. Sometimes those spaces are dedicated to disc golf, and sometimes they're in busy parks. "Designers" don't/haven't always thought safety first when it's one of their favorite holes on the line, and that can lead to a variety of safety concerns once the course gets busy.

As disc golf course designers, our job always begins with safety, or at least, it should. It's more than following simple rules like not throwing over pathways or roads, or not throwing into blind areas where pedestrians might be coming out of, etc.
