Every disc golf course in the world, on one map
Planet DiscGolf shows every disc golf course that's been added to a free, community-built world map. If your local course isn't there, you can add it yourself in about 5 minutes.
All the courses on Planet DiscGolf come from OpenStreetMap (OSM) — a free map of the world that anyone can edit. Think of it like Wikipedia, but for maps.
Thousands of volunteers around the world add roads, trails, parks, and yes, disc golf courses. When someone adds a course to OpenStreetMap, it automatically shows up on Planet DiscGolf.
What does "open source" mean?
It means the map data is free for everyone. No single company owns it. When you add your course to OpenStreetMap, it doesn't just help Planet DiscGolf — it helps every app and website that uses OSM data. Your contribution makes the whole ecosystem better.
You'll be editing OpenStreetMap directly. It's free, and you don't need to install anything.
Go to openstreetmap.org/user/new and sign up. It takes 30 seconds.
Go to openstreetmap.org, search for the area where the course is, and zoom in until you can see the park or area where it's located.
Click the Edit button in the top-left corner. This opens the iD editor — a beginner-friendly map editor that runs right in your browser. If it's your first time, it'll show a quick walkthrough.
Click the Point button (or press 1), then click on the map where the course info sign is, or near the first tee. Search for "disc golf course" in the feature type search.
At minimum, add the name of the course. If you know more, add it:
| Field | Example | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Maple Hill Disc Golf | Yes |
| Website | https://maplehilldiscgolf.com | No, but helpful |
| Number of holes | 18 | No, but helpful |
| Fee | yes / no | No |
| Operator | City Parks Department | No |
Click the Save button (top-right), add a short description like "Added Maple Hill disc golf course", and click Upload. That's it!
How long until it shows up?
Planet DiscGolf updates its data every hour. Your course should appear within 1-2 hours after you save.
See a course with the wrong name, missing info, or in the wrong spot? You can fix that too.
On Planet DiscGolf, click any course and look for the "Edit on OSM" link in the details. It'll open the editor zoomed right to that course so you can correct the info.
If you're up for it, you can map individual holes, tee pads, and baskets. This is totally optional — even just adding the course as a point with a name is a big help.
For the full mapping guide, including how to map multi-layout courses, see the OSM disc golf wiki page.
Important: A disc golf course should be added as a point (node), not drawn as an area. Place the point at the course sign or near hole 1. Individual holes can be drawn as lines from tee to basket, but the course itself is a point on the map.
Check if your local course is on the map, and add it if it's not.
