Philosophy
A professionally designed course will have an intuitive layout and will offer a great experience that attract players to come again and again.
ChainLink Disc Golf can provide you with a professional disc golf course design on your property. Whether you are a municipality, a private landowner, conservation authority or a golf course, we have experience designing a wide variety of courses on land with unique characteristics – from beginner-friendly courses that introduce people to the sport, to courses for championship level play that can host tournaments with seasoned disc golfers.
We can advise on what would work best for your property and how it can complement your existing operations through the use of periphery land on golf courses or through seasonal activation. We always take your needs into account.
Our design philosophy is one of working with the land to minimize disruption and take advantage of existing features. Accordingly, our disc golf course designs always consider:
- Safety - This is our #1 priority!
- Appreciation of nature
- Goals of the property owner
- Parking / transit / bike share connections
- Showcasing the natural beauty of the property
- Local community support and engagement
- Topography and existing property features
- Maintenance requirements
- Budget
- Avoiding greens and minimizing damage to turf on golf courses
- Club or course membership requirements and interests
- Fun
Disc Golf Course
Design
We offer a full suite of services to help you bring your disc golf course from concept to completion, starting with the design of your course. The first step in our process is to visit your site to assess the land and understand its unique features and opportunities. During this visit, we take the time to learn about your vision for the space, including any future programming ideas or community goals you have in mind. Whether you’re looking to develop a small community course, build an advanced level layout, or add disc golf to an existing park or recreation area, we tailor our design to fit your needs and objectives.
As experienced course designers who have worked on a wide range of projects, we’re committed to creating courses that are safe, fun and functional, and integrating them seamlessly into the space you have available. With a strong focus on conservation, we design with a goal of protecting natural features, minimizing environmental impact and enhancing the beauty of the space.
We can help you get started in exploring ideas, evaluating your site’s potential and planning the next steps toward making your vision a reality. Whether you’d like to start with a single consultation day or bring us on for the entire project from design through installation, we’ll help provide you with expert guidance every step of the way.

Equipment
High-quality equipment for your disc golf course is essential for an enjoyable playing experience. We supply professional grade baskets, tee pads, signage as well as other course accessories, and can ship everything directly to your location anywhere in Canada! Whether you’re building a new course or upgrading an existing one, we’ll help you select the right equipment to match your site, budget and long-term goals.
Professional Disc Golf Targets
Disc golf targets are likely to be the first thing people will see on the course. We provide eye-catching, PDGA approved “Championship” standard targets of a premium quality and with 28 chains configured in two tiers for superior catching. Our targets are made in Europe from galvanized metal and have a built-in navigational arrow.
They are available in two configurations: 1) with a sleeve and locking collar for in-ground install, or 2) with a portable base.
Need disc golf targets temporarily? We have a rental fleet! Contact us for more information.
Turf Tee Pads
Artificial turf tee pads offer an aesthetically pleasing playing surface from which players can tee safely. Maintained correctly, artificial turf is a durable surface with just the right amount of grip. Players can feel confident in their run-up, which is essential for an enjoyable playing experience.
Signage
The right signage helps players easily navigate from hole to hole and is an important part of forming positive impressions of the course. A welcome sign as well as information at each hole eliminates guesswork and enhances the experience of playing. Wayfinding is also enhanced through digital means with a UDisc app QR code available at the first hole.
Course Accessories
Elevate your course even further with disc golf accessories. Basket numbers improve navigation and flow and helping players move confidently through each hole, while flags enhance visibility in varying conditions and make the course more user-friendly. Pick up some glow lights to play into the evening hours after dusk. Course accessories will help create a more polished, accessible and enjoyable course for everyone who plays the course.
Course
Installation
Having a great disc golf course is not just dependent on installing the right equipment, but on the proper installation as well. Leave the full install of disc golf targets, signage and tee pads to us, or hire us in a consultative capacity to support course installation with your own staff.
We are insured and in good standing with the WSIB.
Course
Launch
Having a course launch or opening day event is a great way to generate excitement among area disc golfers for a new course and to introduce the community to the sport.
As part of the launch, we ensure the course is set-up within the UDisc app and the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) Course Directory to attract players. We can also organize disc golf demos or clinics for new players and community members.
We also have custom discs, 3-pack starter sets and disc golf curriculum available to make your post-launch disc golf programming the best it can be.
