​

•Any open space of about 15-25 acres of land is satisfactory for a standard DG course of 18 holes.

 

•Available area for a DG course can work in as little as 6-10 acres for 9 hole course configuration.

 

•This involves zig zag pattern and the sharing of fairways ( the area from tee pad to basket).

 

•DG holes should be a minimum of 200 feet in length with no maximum. (PDGA)

 

•Average hole length measurements from 4 local Southland Courses

      •Short - 214 feet

      •Long – 343 feet

​

Minimum materials/items necessary DG baskets, signage at every tee pad/area. 

 

•Placement of tee pads/area and baskets can move to alternate positions depending on design preference.

 

•Obstacles such as trees and hedges promote shot-shaping techniques.

 

•Holes should be designed on the perimeter of parks and in low traffic areas to avoid hitting park visitors in mixed-use areas.
