The 5 Best Winery Disc Golf Courses

When most people visit winery estates, they try a few wines, get a glass or maybe even a bottle of the one they like best, and find somewhere with a great view to just sit, relax, and sip. They enjoy the complex flavors and smells of their chosen vintage and feel a sense of calm wash over them as they take in the sprawling grounds and evenly-spaced rows of vines.

Disc golfers' minds, however, are racing.

Instead of enjoying the peaceful, carefully-planned landscape, they're calculating how many holes they could put on it, whether that open spot up on the hill would be better as a tee or basket position, and kicking themselves for not throwing their bag in the car. Seriously. Always bring your bag.

As disc golf has gotten bigger, courses at wineries have gone from disc golfer daydreams to assets winery owners see the value in. They draw new customers to their businesses and offer regulars a reason to stay longer and come back even more often. Unsurprisingly, more than a few wineries currently offer disc golf as an option for their patrons.

Now you can find out which 5 disc golf courses at wineries are the best in the world according to disc golfers with UDisc, the world's #1 disc golf app that includes the largest directory of disc golf courses in existence.

Ranking the Disc Golf Courses

Here's how we came up with the rankings in this post:

• How did you identify winery disc golf courses?
  Disc golfers adding courses to the UDisc directory can tag them as certain types of property, e.g., private, public, camp, or military. Another property tag option is brewery/winery. For this post, we identified every course with the brewery/winery tag and ran the numbers to see where they ranked against each other based on ratings from disc golfers with UDisc (more on the math in the next bullet point). Once we had the rankings, we researched each course at the top of the list and created a top five that included only the courses at places that we could confirm were wineries.
  
  Keep in mind that any course not labeled "brewery/winery" at the time we ran our search in late June 2022 was not eligible for this list.
  
• How did you come up with the winery disc golf course rankings?
  The rankings are based on disc golfers' ratings of the courses in UDisc. However, we didn't go purely off of current rating. Recent course ratings affected courses' overall scores more than older ones. We also took into account how harshly or easily different countries tend to rate courses and made adjustments to even out those differences. Additionally, courses with low numbers of ratings received penalties.
  
  This is the same math we used to create the World's Best Disc Golf Courses 2022.
• What qualified as a winery disc golf course?
  The course had to be clearly owned and/or operated by a winery, which means they needed to make and not just sell wine. While some of the top five are also vineyards (places that grow their own grapes), they didn't need to be to make this list.
• Did you limit what part of the world the courses could be in?
  No. Winery disc golf courses all over the world were eligible.
