The judas creek disc golf course tee #1 is located at the small parking spot immediately upon turning off doehle drive into the community centre entrance. Special thanks to Judas Creek resident Carl Pearce for developing and maintaining this course.
you may borrow discs and take scorecards from the self-serve center located adjacent to the community centre entrance. Have fun!
DISC GOLF: THE RULES
Objective of the Game
Disc Golf is played like traditional golf, but with disc golf discs instead of balls and clubs.
One throw (stroke) is counted each time the disc is thrown and when a penalty
is incurred. The goal is to play each hole in the fewest strokes possible. The
player with the lowest total strokes for the entire course wins. Click HERE for a printable scorecard for your group.
SAFETY FIRST
Never throw when players or other park users are within range. Always give park
users the right of way. Be aware of your surroundings and environment at all
times.
Tee Throws
Each hole begins with a tee throw. Tee throws must be completed within or
behind the designated tee area.
Lie
The lie is the spot where the player’s previous throw has landed. Mark each lie
with a mini marker disc or leave the thrown disc on the ground where it landed.
The player’s subsequent throw is made from directly behind the marked lie.
Throwing Order
The player with the least amount of strokes on the previous hole is the first
to tee off on the next hole. After all players have teed off, the player whose
disc is farthest from the hole always throws first.
Fairway Throws
Fairway throws must be made from directly behind the lie. A run-up and normal
follow-through, after release, is allowed, unless the lie is within 10 meters
of the target. Any shot within 10 meters of the target requires that the player
maintain balance and not move past the lie until the disc comes to rest.
Mandatory
A mandatory, or mando, is one or more designated trees or poles in the fairway
that must be passed to the correct side as indicated by an arrow. If the disc
passes to the wrong side of mandatory, either play from the previous lie or
from a marked drop zone area if applicable and add a one throw penalty.
Completion Of Hole
A disc that comes to rest in the disc golf basket or suspended in the chains
constitutes the successful completion of that hole. On the the Judas Creek course we use stove pipe style targets. Your disc must hit this target to complete the hole.
Out Of
Bounds
If any area of O.B. is visible between the disc and O.B. line, then the disc is
considered O.B. A throw that lands out of bounds, must be played from a point
up to 1 meter in bounds from where the disc crossed over the out of bounds
line. Permanent water hazards, public roads, and most park boundaries are
almost always out of bounds.
