Шаблон:Short description

Шаблон:Infobox sport overview Disc golf (in Шаблон:Lang-et[1]) is a popular sport in Estonia, where it is played at the recreational, club, and international competition levels.[2]

Disc golf in Estonia is governed by the Estonian Disc Golf Association (EDGL, in Шаблон:Lang-et). Its mission is to promote disc golf as an exciting and accessible sport.[3]

Popularity

Disc golf is the fastest growing sport in Estonia. It has enjoyed an exponential surge in popularity since the early 2010s,[4] quickly making Estonia a hotbed of the sport, together with Finland.[5] In the PDGA's Year-End Demographic Report for 2019, Estonia had 930 active members, 135 courses, and organized 44 PDGA-sanctioned events.[6] In June 2020, there were 864 active PDGA members and 628 expired memberships.[7]

The surge in disc golf popularity in Estonia is generally attributed to its close proximity to disc golf hubs around the Baltic Sea, namely Finland and Sweden. Rene Mengel, Estonian disc golf pioneer and the country's main disc golf promoter, attributes the success of the sport to a large number of disc golf courses throughout the country, and to the fact that disc golf discs can be purchased from local retail stores in Estonia in addition to specialized online retailers, helping make the sport accessible.[2]

Approximately 2% of the world's disc golf courses are located in Estonia. Some of the most notable ones include Kõrvemaa, Jõulumäe, Alutaguse, Mäetaguse and Elva disc golf courses.

Most popular courses in Estonia are Männiku Wakepark, Tartu Roosi, Kurna, Coolbet Järve and Discland disc golf courses, of which 4 (excluding Tartu Roosi) are inside or in close proximity of Estonia's capital, Tallinn [8]

In 2019, Tallinn was rated #4 on UDisc's list of Top 5 Disc Golf Cities outside the United States.[9]

As of May 2021 Estonia has 212 courses,[10] Estonia has the highest density of disc golf courses per square kilometer of any country, and the second-highest number of disc golf courses per capita, after Iceland.[11]

Discgolfi Rajad is a disc golf course directory exclusive to Estonia. It allows players to filter courses by one of Estonia's 15 counties (Шаблон:Lang-et, plural Шаблон:Lang) and provides hole-by hole information in addition to maps.[12]

Market

Disc Golf Metrix is a highly popular Estonian disc golf website. Between a third and half of its traffic originates from Estonia.[13][14] It facilitates tournament management and allows players to keep track of their progress. In February 2020, the FFFD selected Disc Golf Metrix as its tournament management solution for the 2020 National Tour, the most prestigious tournament in France.[15]
