Disc golf on OpenStreetMap

The open disc golf map: every course on Planet DiscGolf comes from OpenStreetMap — the free, community-maintained map of the world.

An open disc golf map, updated hourly

Planet DiscGolf renders OpenStreetMap (OSM) disc golf data directly: the interactive map, the disc golf route planner and the country and region pages are all generated from the same open dataset. No proprietary database, no login wall — when someone improves a course in OSM, it shows up here within the hour.

Right now that is 2684 disc golf courses across 37 countries — refreshed from OpenStreetMap every hour.

How disc golf is tagged in OSM

The de-facto standard (see the OSM wiki: Disc golf):

Coursea node tagged leisure=disc_golf_course + name=*, placed at the info sign or first tee
Holea way from tee to basket tagged disc_golf=hole + ref=* (hole number) + par=*
Teenode tagged disc_golf=tee, optionally surface=*
Basketnode tagged disc_golf=basket

Useful extras on the course node: disc_golf:course=18_hole, fee=*, website=*, opening_hours=*, operator=*. Common mistakes to avoid: mapping the course as an area instead of a node, using disc_golf=pin instead of disc_golf=basket, or reusing golf=* tags.

Add or fix a course in two minutes

  1. Open the course location in the OSM editor (openstreetmap.org/edit) — free account, edits in the browser.
  2. Add a point, tag it leisure=disc_golf_course and give it a name — that alone puts it on every OSM-based disc golf map.
  3. Know more? Add hole count, fee and website. Our step-by-step contribute guide walks through it.

The review mode shows raw OSM disc golf data — including mistagged courses — so mappers can spot and fix data-quality problems directly.
