Disc Golf

The Houston Parks and Recreation Department’s five disc golf courses ranging from nine to eighteen holes, will reopen on June 1, 2020 based on the COVID-19 guidelines offered by The Center for Disease Control (CDC), the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), and the Professional Disc Golf Association. Please play responsibly and observe the following rules:

• Maintain at least 6’ distancing between playing partners at all times.
• Participants should not touch or share discs, bags, carts, or any other property belonging to another participant.
• If using a digital scorecard, mobile devices should not be shared among participants.
• If using a paper scorecard, only 1 person should keep score to prevent the passing of a scorecard from player to player.
• Participants should clear their disc from a target before another player putts out.
• A player should not putt into a target that already has another disc within it.
• Participants should carefully remove their disc from a target and avoid touching any surface of the target while doing so.
• Once a disc has contacted a target, players should consider sanitizing their disc prior to subsequent use, or placing it into their bag. The process of sanitizing equipment by a player must be done in a timely manner.

Disc golf courses are open to the public during normal park hours of operation. They may be utilized on a “first come, first served” basis, with no exclusive use.
