Ever more countries join the the disc golf family year after year, and here you can find out just how big it's become. Read on not only to discover which disc golf course was most popular in every country but also to see all nations where at least one round of disc golf was recorded with the UDisc app – the #1 resource in the sport for scoring, course-finding, and more – in 2024.

The location of each country's most popular disc golf course from 2024. The bigger the dot, the more plays a course had.

In short, "most popular" in this post means simply "most played."

Since most disc golfers play recreationally, the courses with top play counts usually have layouts that are enjoyable and encouraging for less-skilled players. This year, for example, of the 66 nations with a most popular course that qualifies for UDisc's disc golf course difficulty rating system, 57 (or about 86%) had a most popular course with an "easy" or "moderate" difficulty layout option.

In regions with multiple course options, their most popular courses also tend to be near large population centers and easily accessible by car or public transport.

Popular courses do tend to be very good courses, too. Otherwise, who'd bother playing them? But if you're interested in finding out what players have rated countries' best disc golf courses, check out "The 5 Best Disc Golf Courses In Every Country: 2024."

How Many Countries Play Disc Golf?

In 2024, at least one round of disc golf was recorded with UDisc in 96 countries, nations, and autonomously or semi-autonomously governed areas that are part of larger countries.

What's Notable from 2024?

A basket at Playa Lucia in Puerto Rico, which saw one of the bigges surges in play count among countries' top-played courses.

These are some of the developments among countries' most popular courses that caught our attention in 2024:

  • The 1,000+ club
    Eight countries saw gains of 1,000 recorded rounds or more at their top course in 2024 as compared to 2023. Three made it to the 3,000+ club: Mexico, Norway, and the United States. Two reached 2,000+: Latvia and Uganda. And the other three that broke 1,000 were Austria, Puerto Rico, and Denmark. 
  • Uganda tops all Paul McBeth Foundation courses on list
    The Paul McBeth Foundation (PMF) builds disc golf courses in areas around the world where access to the sport is non-existent and resources to build new courses are often hard to come by. They also build their courses in partnership with a local community group who can loan out discs and teach others how to play once the facilty is installed. Seven of the courses on the list exist or were improved thanks in part to the PMF. These are the courses for Uganda, Colombia, Bulgaria, Guatemala, Kenya, Montenegro, and Mongolia. Of those, Uganda's course on a university campus captured the most plays last year: Just over 2,500. The same course was top in Uganda in 2023 but had only a tad more than 500 plays. It'd be great to see the upward trend continue in 2025.
  • Mexican #1 sets a new record
    With 5,903 plays in 2024, Mexico's Los Colomos in Guadalajara is the first course in the Americas outside of Canada and the U.S. to have over 4,000 rounds recorded with UDisc in a year. Its 2024 total was higher than #1 courses in four U.S. states (and D.C.).
  • Muy rico
    Another course that made big moves up the list in 2024 was Puerto Rico's Playa Lucia, which was built largely due to the efforts of a couple who moved from the U.S. to the island nation and started an organization dedicated to promoting disc golf there. Learn the full story in our post "Growing Disc Golf In Puerto Rico With A Van & A Plan."
  • A new jewel in the capital of the Emerald Isle
    Since we've been releasing these stats, Ireland's most-played courses were fairly low-rated and in remote locations. That changed with the 2024 installation of Corkagh Park Disc Golf Course in the country's capital, Dublin. Boasting a respectable 4.0 rating as of publication and in the country's most-populous city, we hope this track can galvanize interest in disc golf in Ireland much like a course in Reykjavík sparked Iceland's fire for the sport over a decade ago.
  • Morley barely bests Valbyparken in tight battle for world #1
    The last two years, California's Morley Field in San Diego and Denmark's Valbyparken in Copenhagen have vied for the honor of being the world's busiest disc golf course. Despite Danish winters, Valby took the crown in both 2022 and 2023. This year, Morley snuck by Valby in the final days of 2024 to take the #1 spot by 566 plays – a drop in the bucket to these courses that both had over 40,000 rounds recorded with UDisc last year.

What to Know Before Reading the Stats

Here are important things to know before you dive into the table.

On Where the Stats Came From and Their Meanings

  • Free, P2P, or Special Access: Free means a course is open to all and is not listed in the UDisc directory as requiring a fee. P2P is short for "pay-to-play" (indicated by $ in the table), which means playing a course requires a fee of some type. "Special access" means a course may not be playable for all (e.g., a military ID is needed, it's on the grounds of a private school, or you need to inform someone before playing). 
  • Disc Golf Rounds Recorded: The number of rounds recorded in 2024 on a course with the UDisc app, the #1 app for disc golfers. Not every round of disc golf is recorded in UDisc, but it provides the best metrics disc golf has to identify which courses are played most often. 
  • Layout Difficulties: The layout difficulty rating symbols mean the following:
      “easy-circle"  Easy
      moderate square  Moderate
      gray diamond  Challenging
    “double-black-diamond"Very challenging

  • New #1?: A "Yes" in this column means a country had a different most popular course in 2023. A "New" in this column means a country didn't appear in last year's round-up of most popular courses in every country.
  • +/-: How many spots a country's 2024 top course rose or fell in relation to where the country's top course was on the 2023 list. For example, Mexico's top course was #22 in total plays in relation to other countries' top courses in 2023; this year it was #11 and has a ▲11 in this category. A "New" in this column means a country didn't appear in last year's round-up of most popular courses in every country.
  • World Pop. Grade: The "Pop." stands for "popularity." This is a quick and interesting way to compare every course's play total with 2024's most popular disc golf course in the world. If you've ever had a test graded on a curve, it's pretty much the same thing. The course with the most plays in the world set the bar and got a 100. The other courses' "grades" are based on what percentage their play counts are of the highest plays total. For example, if a course has a World Pop. Grade of 20, it means it had 20% of the plays that the world's most popular course did in 2024.

Use This List for Travel With Caution

  • Our rundowns of best disc golf courses are intended for travel purposes whereas we intend lists of most popular courses to show both where a high volume of disc golf is being played and simply where people have played disc golf at all. Do thorough research before planning travel based on courses in the table below as many of the courses are object courses, don't exist unless locals bring baskets to a park, require military IDs to enter, etc.

On Organization and Tips for Correct Interpretation

  • The table is organized from the most played to the least played course, but...
  • ... don't forget that the stats include only the top course from each country. Because many countries have multiple courses with more plays than the top course in other countries, no course's position in the table – other than #1 – is guaranteed to reflect its overall popularity as compared to all courses in the world.
