Disc Golf in Sweden – 10 Years of Growth in Numbers and Statistics

Disc golf in Sweden is undergoing rapid development. To provide a comprehensive overview of this growth, Disc Tree has analysed 10 years of data from uDisc – the world's most used disc golf app. Based on this data, we present here the development in the number of courses, rounds played and registered players from 2016 to 2025. Please note that all figures reflect only activity registered in the app, and that the actual scale of the sport is likely considerably higher.

Disc golf is an accessible and challenging outdoor activity for everyone. The sport has seen remarkable growth in recent years, not least because it can be played across all ages, genders and fitness levels. At the same time, the infrastructure has grown steadily, with new courses opening continuously across the country.

The barrier to entry is low. Most courses in Sweden are free to play, no advance booking is required, and a starter set of 3 discs can be found for under 200 DKK. This makes disc golf one of the most accessible outdoor sports for the whole family.

This article is based on data that Disc Tree has reviewed from uDisc, the world's leading disc golf app.

Disc golf courses in Sweden

The growing number of courses is helping to make the sport more accessible to players across Sweden. Disc golf courses typically have 9 or 18 baskets, and their location and difficulty vary considerably – a key factor in determining a course's popularity. In 2025, 827 disc golf courses in Sweden are registered on uDisc.

A course's location, upkeep and size directly influence how frequently it is visited. Many players are willing to travel further to play the highest-rated courses, and this is clearly reflected in the round data. Whether a course is free to play also has a significant impact on visitor numbers.

Rounds of disc golf played

The growth in registered rounds is one of the clearest indicators of disc golf's expansion in Sweden. A round of disc golf means completing all the holes on a given course. In 2025, over 1,434,000 rounds of disc golf were registered in Sweden on uDisc.

Disc golf is played year round. Even during the winter months there is considerable activity on Swedish courses – in 2025, over 98,000 rounds were registered combined across January, February and December. The peak season is clearly in the summer, with courses most visited from April to September.

Disc golf players in Sweden

The actual number of active disc golf players in Sweden is difficult to determine precisely, as many play without registering their rounds. Players without a uDisc account are not included in the statistics and therefore represent a significant unknown figure. In 2025, over 73,000 unique disc golf players in Sweden are registered on uDisc.

The growth in registered players is significant. From 2021 to 2025, the number has increased by over 132%, and the trend continues upward.

On top of this, there is a significant unknown number of players who do not use uDisc at all. The actual number of active disc golf players in Sweden is therefore likely considerably higher than the registered figures suggest.

uDisc is the world's leading disc golf app. With uDisc on your phone you have access to a map of every course in the world. You can also use the app to keep score, track statistics for your rounds, navigate courses and much more.

Alle grafer og statistikker i denne artikel er baseret på data fra uDisc og afspejler udelukkende de runder som er registreret i app'en. De faktiske tal kan derfor være markant højere, da mange spillere slet ikke bruger app'en, og yderligere at mange uDisc-brugere ikke registrerer alle deres runder.
