Disc golf is just sticking a few goals into otherwise typical park. You are gently tossing a soft disc over maybe 60-90 meters so you don't need to be extra careful to make the way clear.
Golf by its nature demands huge amounts of space for few people to enjoy. Further the landscaping and irrigation demands on a golf course are immense. You can't have too many things on a course or people walking around, because a pretty hard ball comes flying from 200 meters away.
Minigolf is the superior and family-friendly alternative to golf, TBH.
Correction: The discs are not soft. They are hard and can be sharp-edged as well. Keeping throws away from walking and bike paths is super critical.
Ok, guess I may not have exposure to the scene as much. My experience is probably more 'filthy casual' level, at a few parks and a corporate campus that seems to just have goals installed without much regard for where the trails are, and the few times I've participated it was just random folks with pretty mundane frisbees.
