Disc golf: Here are 10 courses where you can play Frisbee golf on the Treasure Coast

Disc golf is just like regular golf, except for one crucial aspect — instead of hitting balls with clubs, players toss various-sized discs at baskets, or “holes.”

The Treasure Coast has 10 public courses: seven in St. Lucie County, two in Indian River County and one in Martin County. Each is different, according to the Professional Disc Golf Association, but all of them require players to bring their own discs.

Disc golf is like Frolf, or Frisbee golf, only because they’re both played with discs. Unlike disc golf, Frolf is a freeform game that can be played anywhere.

In celebration of National Disc Golf Day, which falls on the first Saturday of August, here’s where to play disc golf locally.

Golf: Where to play 18 holes, putt-putt or practice at a driving range

Skateboarding: New skate parks in works for Stuart, Vero Beach, Port St. Lucie

Mountain biking: Here are the best Treasure Coast trails for each skill level

Cole Huden, of Stuart, part of the Treasure Coast Disc Golf Club association's Seabass Strikers team, practices putting on hole 4 at Halpatiokee Regional Park's disc golf course Thursday, Aug. 27, 2020, in Martin County. With Martin County Parks and Recreation expanding the ten-hole course to 18 holes through the woods near an established trail, some local citizens expressed grief over the loss of habitat. "I don't want people to get the wrong idea," Huden said, that disc golfers are trying to "screw anything up." He said the golfers pick up trash as they play and compared to traditional ball golf, destruction from disc golf courses are minimal.
