Placing an order:

What are my weight choices?
Players are often more concerned with weights than colors. We try to keep our weight selections up-to-date, which means we will ship your discs within the weight range that you specify. We will contact you with options if we have run out of your weight range selection at the time we process your order. When ordering, be sure to use the 'comments box' to tell us about your specific needs.

What are my color choices?
Colors will vary by manufacturer and model and sometimes by weight. To select a general color preference, click the drop-down box on the disc listing and select either Bright Color, Dark Color, White, or No Preference. Bright colors include orange, yellow, light and lime green, pink, light blue, light purple, etc. Dark colors include Red, Dark Blue, Black, Brown, Dark Green, Burgundy, etc. Colors will vary by manufacturer and model; some colors are available only in certain weight ranges.

If you have a strong preference as to a precise weight and/or color, we encourage you use the ‘Special Requests’ box or to call us. While we do maintain an extensive inventory, sometimes the disc in your perfect weight and color is just not available.  By contacting us, we may be able to find an acceptable substitute.

Will I get the same Dyed Disc as the one pictured on your site?
Generally speaking, no. Unless we indicate differently in the description, the disc pictured will be a representation of the model.

What is the ‘Special Request’ box for?
This text box allows you to customize every item you purchase. Want a special color or weight? You can specify it here. This allows us to know exactly what you are looking for. Having more than one option will help in fulfilling your order more quickly.

Will you send something I did not order if you are out of stock?
No. If you order a specific weight class or color and we do not have what you order in stock, we will contact you in order to best provide you with the product you want.

Can I change my order after it has been placed?
We process orders very quickly. Orders placed before 12:00 p.m. will usually be shipped that day. While we endeavor to satisfy every customer, there are times when it is difficult or impossible to make changes to an order. If you require a change to your order, please send our customer service team an e-mail by clicking here or call us at 888.237.6884.

Other Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Frequent Flyer Program (FFP)?
This is Disc Golf World’s Customer Loyalty program, designed to give our repeat customers discounts for making us their one-stop shop.  For every $100 you spend on products, you will receive a $5 credit toward your purchase that day.  You can sign up in-store at Disc Golf World; or for our online customers, you can sign up here.

Can you offer any suggestions for me personally?
If you are a beginner check out our “Beginners Start Here” section, which highlights discs that we feel are best suited for players just getting into the sport. If you have more specific questions, please feel free to email us or give us a call. We will do our best to guide you in the right direction.

I want to buy a gift for someone, but I have no idea what to get.  Do you offer any suggestions?
Due to the shear amount of different styles of discs in the market, the best advice we can give is to purchase either an Online Gift Certificate, or a Paper Gift Certificate that we can mail to you.  Online Codes may be used on anything we offer on our site.  Paper Gift Certificates can be used here at our Kansas City location.  509 E 18th St., Kansas City, MO 64108.

Pre-orders:

A pre-order is a pre-paid sale on an item that we have not yet received in our warehouse.  Customization cannot be guaranteed, but please indicate your preferences in the “Special Request” box and we will do our best to fill the order to specification.  Ship dates are estimates and cannot be guaranteed.  Orders must be paid in full to reserve the item.  Changes or cancelations to the order can be made at any time by the customer prior to 24 hours before the estimated ship date.  Once the order has been processed for shipment, any changes to the order would fall under our return policy.  It is possible, in the case of a change in production by the manufacturer, that Disc Golf World may need to change or cancel the order, in which case you will be contacted with options.

Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however, players use a flying disc, or Frisbee®. The sport was formalized in the 1970′s, and shares with “ball golf” the object of completing each hole in the fewest number of strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest number of throws). A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target which is the “hole.” The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets; the most common is called a Pole Hole® an elevated metal basket. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed. Trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Finally, the “putt” lands in the basket and the hole is completed.

Disc golf shares the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether it’s sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway. There are a few differences, though. Disc golf rarely requires a greens fee, you probably won’t need to rent a cart, and you never get stuck with a bad “tee time.” It is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages, male and female, regardless of economic status.

Established in 1987 by disc golf Hall of Famer Rick Rothstein, Disc Golf World is one of the oldest disc sports companies in the game. When we first opened, we sold stuff the old fashioned way: through phone sales and our now antiquated Disc Golf World Sales Catalogue. We have since grown into the largest disc golf store in the Midwest through our online store, our brick and mortar shop in Kansas City, MO, as a regional and national wholesaler, and as the instigator and merchandiser of the Ice Bowl®—an international network of winter tournaments for charity.
