I know it as frisbee golf. And Centre Island has had a course for decades. Just buy a frisbee, or if you like a couple different types if you want to get complicated.
Looks like majority of disc golf hobbyists are against this idea...

"Technically, no. Frisbee is actually a brand of a disc use to throw and catch. The discs use for disc golf are specifically designed for disc golf. There are specifications that must be met for a disc to be "legally" used in a game of disc golf. Much like there are specifications on club and balls in "
ball golf".
It would be like using a soccer ball to go bowling with. It would kind of work, but it's not "sanctioned" for bowling. lol"

Best Answer: Discs
The golf discs used today are much smaller and heavier than traditional flying discs, typically being about 8 or 9 inches in diameter and between 150 and 200 grams. Also, general-purpose flying discs, such as those used for playing guts or ultimate, have a simple edge to them, whereas disc golf discs have extended lips. They also have a much smaller diameter and thinner profile, making them much more aerodynamic.
There are a wide variety of discs, divided into three basic categories: putters, all-purpose mid-range discs, and drivers.
The putters are designed similarly to discs you would play catch with: e.g., a Wham-o brand Frisbee. They are designed to fly straight, predictably, and very slowly compared to mid-range discs and drivers. Mid-range discs have slightly sharper edges that enable them to cut through the air better. Drivers have the sharpest edge and have most of their mass concentrated on the outer rim of the disc rather than distributed equally throughout. Drivers are the hardest type of disc to learn how to throw; their flight path will be very unpredictable without practice.
Drivers are also often divided into different categories. For example, Innova discs divides their discs into Distance Drivers and Fairway Drivers, with a fairway driver being somewhere between a distance drive and a mid-range disc. New players will find that throwing a distance driver accurately will require experience with disc golf disc response. It is better to begin play with a fairway driver and later incorporate distance drivers. Discraft divides their drivers into 3 categories: Long Drivers, Extra Long Drivers and Maximum Distance Drivers. The greater the distance of the driver the less control the disc golf player has on the disc. Therefore, an inexperienced player would most likely prefer to use a Long or Extra Long Driver while an experienced player would go for a maximum distance driver if they were seeking longer throws.
