Foothills Disc Golf Club FDGC

WELCOME TO THE
FOOT HILLS DISC GOLF CLUB
Easley, SC

What is Disc Golf?

Disc golf is played like ball golf but with a "Frisbee" like disc.

The object is the same as ball golf, to make it from the tee to the "hole" in the lowest number of strokes or throws.

Disc golf games are shorter. Holes are measured in feet not yards.

Most courses are in public parks so playing is free.

Discs will cost around $8.00 each. You really only need one to play.

See the pictures page for a picture of a disc catcher.

Club meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at Palmetto Baking Co. at 7:30 P.M.

Holes 16, 17 and 18 wind their way into a natural amphitheatre behind the building, which will serve as the tournament headquarters/clubhouse.
