UDisc Course Awards recognize the top-ranked disc golf courses around the world, based on millions of player ratings — plus specialty categories like Best Short Course and Best Ski Resort Course. If your course won one, here's what you can do with it.
What you can do with a Course Award
See every award category and all award-winning courses at udisc.com/best-disc-golf-courses.
Download digital shareables and print-ready files to post on social media, print for your clubhouse, or hand off to your city or parks department.
Order a physical vinyl banner and/or course award sign to display your recognition on-site — you can order one, both, or neither.
Note: Ordering or downloading course awards requires being your course's Course Ambassador.
How it works
Rankings come from ratings you and other players submit through UDisc's course directory. Overall rankings are given at three levels: World (top 100 courses on the planet), Country (top 100 in the US, Canada, Finland, Norway, and Sweden; up to the top 10 elsewhere), and State/Province (up to the top 10 in each US state and Canadian province). Not every course or region has an award yet — a course needs enough plays and ratings, plus a high enough star rating, to be confidently ranked.
All award assets live in your Course Tools, under the Awards tab, split into two tabs: Physical Awards (order a vinyl banner and/or course award sign — one per course) and Downloadables (digital shareables and print-ready files for each award your course has received).
The vinyl banner measures 3 × 4 ft (91.4 × 121.9 cm). The course award sign measures 8 × 12 in (20.3 × 30.5 cm).
Popular spots to display either one include:
your clubhouse entrance
near hole 1
at events you're hosting,
or handed off to your city or parks counterpart
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to be a Course Ambassador to order or download a Course Award?
Yes. Ordering a physical banner or sign, and downloading digital assets, is done through Course Tools, which only your course's Course Ambassador can access. If you're not the ambassador, ask them to place the order or download the assets for you.
Can more than one person order a physical award for the same course?
No — only one banner and one sign can be ordered per course. If you can't order one, someone already has.
Is there a badge for my Course Award, separate from the banner and sign?
Yes. If your course has received an award, you'll see a badge on your course listing in the UDisc app — that's separate from the downloadable and physical assets above. The badge shows automatically once your course qualifies; you don't need to order or download anything for it to appear.
What's the difference between a Course Award and a UDisc Course Sign?
They're different programs. See How to order and install your UDisc course sign for details on Course Signs.
