The first permanent disc golf course opened in 1975 in California. Since then, the game has spread across the globe, with every continent (including Antarctica!) now boasting places to play.
Here you can discover how many countries have a disc golf course listed on UDisc, the world's most popular app for disc golfers with the largest and most frequently updated disc golf course directory in existence.
Check out the table at the end of this post showing how many disc golf courses each country has, and learn more about how the game has continued to expand worldwide with UDisc's annual Disc Golf Growth Report. The list is alphabetical by country name.
How Many Countries Have a Disc Golf Course?
There are 99 nations that have at least one disc golf course (or 102 if the four nations of the United Kingdom are counted separately).
Of that number, 88 are largely recognized as independent countries while 11 are tied to the governments of other countries in various ways (e.g., Greenland's status as an autonomous entity within the Kingdom of Denmark).
How Are Disc Golf Courses Distributed Across Continents?
| Continent | Course Total |

| Antarctica | 2 |
| Asia | 196 |
| Europe | 4,539 |
| North America | 12,197 |

Notes on this table:
- 👋 – Saying hello! This means the nation added its first course to the UDisc directory in 2025 and that the course was first established in 2025 (i.e., courses that were added to the directory this year but constructed earlier do not have this symbol).
- YoY Change – This shows how a country's course total changed from year to year. If this field is blank, it means that country's course total remained the same. No country that still offers disc golf had a net loss of courses in 2025.
- Two flags – Any nation with two flags is one that's not widely considered an entirely independent country. The nation's local flag is always farthest left while the flag of the country it's connected with is to the right. Svalbard, which is a part of Norway with special legal status, has no local flag. The local flag of Saint Pierre & Miquelon is known and flown by some locally but not officially recognized.
