Discovering and Playing Courses
Every round of disc golf starts with a course. Whether it's your local favorite or a new destination you're excited to try, Tjing's course directory helps you find, explore, and enjoy disc golf courses around the world. Let's dive into how our course features help make every round better.
Finding the Right Course
Our course directory is built by the community, for the community. It's filled with courses that players like you have added and maintain. Each course page is packed with useful information to help you plan your visit and make the most of your round.
Want to try somewhere new? You can search for courses near you, filter by features that matter to you (like whether they're beginner-friendly or have concrete tees), and read reviews from other players who've been there.
Course Guardians: Your Local Experts
Ever wonder who keeps all this course information up to date? That's where our Course Guardians come in. These dedicated community members maintain accurate information about their local courses. They're usually regular players who know the course inside and out and want to help others have a great experience.
If you play a course regularly and want to help maintain its information, you can apply to become a Guardian right from the course page. It's a great way to give back to the disc golf community!
Understanding Course Layouts
Courses often have multiple layouts to accommodate different skill levels or seasonal changes. Each layout in Tjing includes detailed information about:
What to Expect
Before you play, you can check out who the layout is best suited for, what the par ratings are, and get a sense of the total distance. Course Guardians often include notes about local rules or specific obstacles you should know about.
Navigation Made Easy
Getting lost on a new course can be frustrating. That's why we include hole-by-hole maps showing you exactly where to go. You'll see the shape of each fairway, where the tee pads and baskets are located, and any mandatory routes or OB areas you need to know about.
Local Knowledge
Each hole can include specific notes about things like seasonal changes, alternate pin positions, or local rules. It's like having a local player guide you through the course!
Player Reviews and Insights
Nothing beats hearing from players who've actually played the course. Our review system lets players share their experiences and rate different aspects of the course, from maintenance to difficulty level.
These reviews help you know what to expect and make informed decisions about where to play. Maybe you're looking for a challenging course for a tournament practice round, or perhaps you want to find a beginner-friendly layout to introduce a friend to the sport. Either way, player reviews can help you choose the right course for your needs.
Real-Time Course Activity
Want to know how popular a course is? Each course page shows up-to-date statistics about:
- How many rounds have been played there
- Recent tournament activity
- Number of unique visitors
- Popular playing times
This information can help you plan when to visit or find active local communities to connect with.
