The course layout would dictate the price for me. I have played very challenging layouts and gimmicky boring layouts. You can't charge $15 for a bunch of flat, no elevation, 300' unprotected green shots. I would pay good money to play it once, but the course would dictate whether I would return or not.

9 holes-$8
All day-$14
18 holes-$12
All day-$18

Depends on the layout. More challenging layout = more that I'd be willing to pay.

That being said, I don't think I'd pay more than $20 (all day, 18 holes) very often. I could see myself paying $10 for a weekly visit.

Would also depend on the exclusivity of the course. Disc golf only or shared?

It really depends on the quality of the disc golf course overlayed onto the ball golf course.

No more then 20 for an all day 18 hole course. And that I would hope wouldn't be winter rate. In winter, I can see that being 10-15 dollars max as they need to bring in money for a loss of revenue they aren't receiving from regular golfers. I think that a monthly fee for this type of set up is a great idea if the course is good enough to dictate I come back and play it more then once.

As for a 9 hole, 10 bucks max and it would have to be a killer 9 hole.

IF course was <10 miles away and the course was good or excellent:

$10 for 9 holes
$20 for 9 hole day pass
$20 for 18 holes
$40 for 18 hole day pass

Since this is winter rates
- What would you pay to play nine holes of disc golf on a ball golf course?
I probably wouldn't be inclined to pay to play 9 holes in the winter
What would you pay to play all day on a nine hole course?
Probably around $5
What would you pay to play 18 holes of disc golf on a ball golf course?
Probably around $5-$10
What would you pay to play all day on an 18 hole course?
Probably around $10

So I guess you could double the rates for the summer

What he said.
Plus, I would drive further (up to a 30min drive) if the price included a cart. Disc'in on ball golf courses rocks--and it's a no-brainer for courses that see so little action in the winter.

This really depends. Will there be cute "cart girls" driving around selling adult beverages during the round like there is on a good ball golf course?

$5 a round with no cart girls
$25 a round with cart girls

for me the factor of being on a ball golf course doesnt make it more valuable. so i would have to say,
9 holes of disc golf=$5
9 holes all day =$10
18 holes of disc golf =$7-8
18 holes all day = $12-14


i would never imagine paying more for disc golf wether its an actual disc golf course or its on a ball golf course, though my natural tendancy would be to play on a actuall disc golf course rather than playing on a ball golf course.

and for me to pay to play on any course it would have to be a extremely well laid out course, like championship level course.

I'd never pay more than $5 per person to play ANY course, as long as there are nearby options available for less than that.

You wouldn't pay $6 to play the most awesome disc golf course in the world as long as there was some crappy 9 hole pitch and putt in an open field nearby?

9 holes once: $3
9 holes all day: $7 if they were great
18 holes once: up to $10 if they were awesome
18 holes all day: up to $20 if it was awesome

Default Disc golf prices

If it is $20 for all day disc golf, Some ball Golf courses are $30 for golf with a cart. I'm cheap, for the extra $10 I would rather ball golf. I Get to disc golf more often, so If I have to pay, It is going to be ball golf. Not that I haven't paid $75 to play a round of ball golf. Just have to make choices with my money.

The novelty of having a cart would make a big difference IMO.
I'd pay $5-10 for 9 hole options, & $10-20 for 18 holes(w cart).
I think $10 each would be fair for tournament green fees, assuming 2 players share a cart.
