  • A 1 stroke penalty is incurred when a players’ disc goes out-of-bounds or in a water hazard.
  • Typical par for an 18-hole course is 54. Par on each hole is 3.
  • The object of disc golf is to acquire the lowest score.
  • Tee throws must be completed within the designated tee pad area.
  • Your lie is the spot where your previous throw landed.
