What are Challenges?
Challenges are new types of events with unique rules designed to help you get better and improve your rating. These new events can be played from anywhere in the country thanks to our new scoring system that puts you up against yourself and the rest of the country.
Some popular challenges include:
- The 3 Disc Challenge: Complete a round under par using only three discs.
- The 2 Putt Challenge: Shoot under par while making two consecutive putts inside circle 1 for each hole to count.
- The Overstable Challenge: Achieve an under-par score using only overstable discs.
- And many more exciting variations!

F.A.Q
What is the Disc Golf Challenge?
The Disc Golf Challenge (DGC) is a nationwide program designed to improve your disc golf skills and showcase your achievements. It involves unique challenges like putting twice for each hole or limiting yourself to three discs for an entire round. Think of it as leveling up in your favorite video game, but in real life.
How does participating in the Disc Golf Challenge benefit me?
Participating in the DGC offers several benefits, including skill improvement, earning collectible Challenge Coins, community engagement, progress tracking, and adding excitement to your disc golf experience. It's a fun and rewarding way to enhance your involvement in the sport. Plus, who doesn't love a good challenge?
Where can I participate in the Disc Golf Challenge?
Anywhere in the country! The challenges are not location-based, allowing for flexible participation that fits your schedule and location. Whether you're in the mountains or by the beach, the DGC is ready when you are.
Do I need to play with someone during the challenge?
Nope! While it's always fun to have a buddy to critique your form (or lack thereof), you can absolutely play a solo round. Just stick to the challenge rules and keep it honest—your only competition is yourself (and maybe that pesky squirrel who keeps stealing your discs).
Do my cardmates have to be in the challenge?
Not at all. Your friends can join you without officially participating. Just give them a heads-up that you're on a mission, and maybe they'll be inspired to join next time.
How do I find the Universal Average Score (UAS)?
Head to your chosen course and layout, scroll down to the leaderboard, and look for the score marked with a globe icon. That's your UAS—the benchmark to beat!
How do I submit scores?
On challenge day, we'll send you a special link via email or text. You can also use the links provided on our website. Use it to upload your scores. It's as easy as sinking a 3-foot putt (minus the nerves).
What are Challenge Coins?
Challenge Coins are 1-inch collectible tokens you earn by completing challenges or achievements. They fit perfectly inside a Challenge Mini, allowing you to showcase your accomplishments every time you mark your lie. It's like earning badges in Scouts, but way cooler.
What is a Challenge Mini?
A Challenge Mini is a special disc golf mini marker designed to display your earned challenge coins. It can hold up to 6 challenge coins (5 on the outside, 1 on the inside) using a strong magnet. Coins can be removed by pressing on the bottom of the mini. It's the ultimate bling for your disc golf game.
