Figures from the English Disc Golf Association (EDGA) and UDisc cover permanent courses between January 1 and October 12. Amesbury also attracted 318 distinct UDisc accounts during that period.
The figures form part of a national report on the sport’s growth across England. Players logged 50,924 rounds by October 12, while annual participation rose by 241 per cent between 2019 and 2025.

The report estimates players walked 175.4 million steps and spent 75,553 hours taking part between January and October this year.
England now has 121 permanent disc golf courses, compared with 41 in 2018. More than a third of new players surveyed in 2026 said they had never played before.
Nearly 57 per cent of rounds took place within 10km of a player’s home area, suggesting many participants use courses close to where they live.
Frank Knutton, digital officer at the EDGA, said the findings showed the sport was growing and helping people spend time outdoors and stay active.
The figures also record participation through UDisc accounts, allowing courses and rounds to be compared across England during the reporting period this year overall.
