We have government funding, we need land!
Does your village have unused land that could be used for a disc golf course? Disc Golf requires zero irrigation, zero chemicals, and minimal maintenance. Disc golf courses can be installed just about anywhere and can easily be removed if the plan for the property changes. Flood plain, uneven land, no trees, lots of trees, rocky, grassy, super hilly, former landfills, and unused land.
Does your city have land they hope to develop in 5 years? Then install an 18 hole disc golf course for 20,000 euros and enjoy the property for 5 years until your project starts! The baskets can be pulled and relocated to another park for people to enjoy.
The construction process of installing a disc golf course from an engineering perspective typically involves the following steps:
- Site Selection: The first step is to select an appropriate site for the disc golf course. Factors such as the availability of space, topography, and accessibility are taken into account during this stage.
- Design: The next step is to design the course layout. The course designer needs to take into account the number of holes, their placement, and the distance between them. The course must be designed in a way that provides challenging and varied gameplay, while also ensuring safety for players.
- Clearing the land: Once the design is finalized, the next step is to clear the land. This typically involves removing any trees, bushes, or other obstacles that may obstruct the flight path of the disc.
- Earthworks: The course designer may choose to create artificial obstacles such as hills or trenches to provide additional challenges to players. These earthworks are created during this stage.
- Tee Pads: Tee pads are the starting point for each hole. They are typically flat, level surfaces where the player can take their first throw. Installing tee pads involves preparing a flat surface and pouring a concrete or asphalt pad.
- Baskets: Baskets are the targets for the disc. They consist of a metal basket with chains to catch the disc. Installing baskets involves digging a hole, setting the basket in place, and securing it in the ground.
- Signage: Signage is installed to provide players with information about each hole, such as the distance and par. This helps players navigate the course and understand the layout.
- Final Inspection: Once the course is complete, a final inspection is conducted to ensure that it meets safety standards and is ready for use by players.
Overall, the construction process of installing a disc golf course involves careful planning and attention to detail to ensure that the course provides a fun and challenging experience for players, while also meeting safety standards.
