Thanks for checking out the offerings of HFDS Leagues around town!

HFDS runs leagues on weeknights during daylight savings time at multiple courses around Houston. During standard time, leagues are only run on Saturday mornings at one or two courses.

Each league lasts for 6-8 weeks with the players counting their best 4-6 weeks and dropping the remainder. Check with the league directors to learn the specifics of each one’s schedule.

The cost of a league is $25 for non-club members, and $20 for active club members. Of course we encourage all players to join HFDS but you do not have to be a club member to participate in one of our leagues. They are open to everyone!

League Directors will assist new players in determining their starting “division” of play. Thereafter, we’ll track a players scores and tell them when the have to “move up” to the next higher division. A player can choose to play upward in any higher division.

A portion of each league entry fee goes to the HFDS club to support its many efforts to promote the sport of disc golf. The “lion’s share” of each entry fee goes into the “awards fund” for that player’s division. Between 60-80% of the entry fees goes back to the players! In our color-coded divisional structure, only the highest division, “Gold” gets paid out in cash, the rest of the divisions get to collect their winnings from the club’s disc supplier at a substantially discounted price. 

At the end of each league, the following week is usually designated as “Awards Week” during which no formal play occurs, but often League Directors will organize some kind of $2 or $5 per player, Doubles format round. So after each division’s awards are announced, players will flock to the disc vendor and pick their payout from the vendor’s large inventory of discs and disc golf merchandise and then the doubles round is played.

HFDS tracks all players scores and will inform players when they have to move up as their skills progress.
