Disc Golf is a quickly growing sport, with rules very much like those of traditional golf. Instead of hitting a ball, you throw a disc similar to a Frisbee. Instead of holes, your goal is to get your disc in specially-designed baskets (see photos below). Like in golf, you start at a tee. After everyone in your group has thrown, the person farthest from the basket throws their next shot from the place their disc came to rest. Once everyone has their discs in the basket, the hole is complete.
You score by counting how many throws each person took to get into the basket and totaling them up throughout the round. The goal is to use the lowest number of throws possible to reach the basket.
You can easily keep score with the free version of the UDisc app, which is what we recommend. It also shows a map as you play that helps you find each tee and basket as well as play everything as intended.

Due to high levels of foot traffic in this park from people visiting Bad Sobernheim's extremely popular Barefoot Path, this course is only available from the beginning of October until the end of April. In the warmer months, it will become a MiniDiscGolfPark with holes no longer than 20 meters that will be like mini-golf/putt putt but for disc golf. The bigger course may be set up occasionally during the summer for special events.

There are disc golf courses in over 70 countries und Germany has almost 200. DiscGolfPark Bad Sobernheim is the first course in the Bad Kreuznach district and the only public course within a 50 kilometer radius. It wouldn't have been possible without the support of the LAG Soonwald-Nahe, City of Bad Sobernheim, Nahe-Glan Municipality, Turnverein 1867 Bad Sobernheim und TPF Discs.
