The amount of land needed and the cost of installing a disc golf course can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the course, the type of terrain, the number of holes, the quality of materials used, and the labor required. Below are some important considerations:
Course Size: Disc golf courses can range in size from a 9-hole course to an 18-hole course or larger. Typically, a minimum of 5 to 6 acres is recommended for an 18-hole course.
Type of terrain: It is important to consider the type of terrain available. A flat, open field will require less construction work than a field with hills, trees, and other natural obstacles.
Number of holes: The number of holes you want to install on the course will also affect the cost. Typically, a minimum of 9 holes is recommended for a disc golf course.
Quality of materials: The materials used to set up the field, such as metal posts and baskets, can vary in price and quality. High-quality materials will cost more but will be more durable and require less maintenance in the long run.
Labor: The labor required to install the course is also an important factor. While some disc golf course owners choose to do the work themselves, others hire professionals for the installation.
Generally speaking, the cost of installing a disc golf course can range from a few thousand Euros for a basic 9-hole course to tens of thousands of Euros for an 18-hole course with more advanced features. The cost can include materials, labor, ground preparation, and other associated costs.
As for the amount of land needed, a minimum of 5 to 6 acres is recommended for an 18-hole course, but this can vary depending on the terrain characteristics and the amount of natural obstacles. In any case, it is important to consider the costs and the amount of land available before starting to build a disc golf course.
We have designed courses on several continents and land conservation is important to us. We will be happy to visit your land to assess its viability and inform you of best practices for safety and erosion control. We build courses that last, not ruin the environment.
