This website is dedicated to the avid Disc Golf players across the country in an attempt to expand the social aspect of the sport. As both a course archive and open ended trading system, this site was designed to broaden the disc golf community by allowing players to connect with each other and explore the courses in thier state while not breaking the bank.

At D.R. Disc Golf in Orrington there are things called pilot numbers that you can get only after recording 20 or more games at the course. The pilot numbers allow you to compete in their weekend tournaments, get discounts on discs, and have your handicap recorded. As of right now there are over 500 pilot numbers out after the course opened 4 years ago. The average disc golfer knows and plays regularly with around 10 people. If we take that information and use it to figure out how many people in this area play disc golf we’re looking at around 2,500 people who play disc golf and probably in-between 1,500 and 2,000 people actively playing. Sometimes people are left having to play by themselves when no one else is available when there are so many other players willing to be challenged. The goal of DGS is that people would be interested in challenging themselves more and meeting new people without having to participate in a formal tournament type of match.

With that being said, there comes the issue of getting the equipment you want without spending a lot of money. Granted disc golf tends to be a tenth of the price of regular golf, however that appeal may be what attracts people to the sport in the first place. DGS offers a craigslist-style trading system allowing players to negotiate trades online or at their local course. Lastly DGS sets out to allow players to know where the courses in their area are. Without extra funds to promote themselves, disc golf courses are often left unnoticed by the community and this site sets out to help players discover all the courses in their area, but also to let them know the ones that would suit their play style the best.

Can you name at least three disc golf courses in the state of Maine?
