Description

Key	Value	Element	Comment	Example	Icon
sport	disc_golf		sports. Frisbee golf, a golf-like game with Frisbee (flying disc) (on Wikipedia)

Rationale

To mark the frisbee golf courses or other nodes/areas/relations associated with disc golf.

Examples

Disc golf course in Slottskogen, Göteborg. There are over a hundred frisbee golf courses in Sweden. It is fairly spread over the western world.

Usage

The usual sport-restraints shall be followed. "This tag describes which kind(s) of sport is/are exercised in/on some feature. Since this is a non-physical tag it should be combined with a physical tag"

Add a node tagged sport=disc_golf at the first tee, at club house if any or at the place renting/selling the discs. The whole area used for frisbee golf may be mapped as an area tagged as sport=disc_golf, preferably with another tag for the landuse (frisbee golf is usually in a park or wood and only in special cases at a single-use area.)

If it is an organized disc golf course with more than a few holes, it should be mapped leisure=disc_golf_course, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Disc_golf_course
