Top 60 Disc Golf Accessories To Survive Any Game

Whether you wanna maximize your gameplay with a few essential disc golf accessories or pack everything to feed the 5000, here’s a few items that will prepare you for all eventualities. Some of these would also make nice gifts.

 

1. Disc Golf Bag

No point having any of the kit in this list unless you’ve got a bag to bring everything to the course with. Doesn’t need to be big or expensive. You can see a massive list of the best disc golf bags on the market right now in our post here.

 

2. Disc Golf Shoes

If you want to excel in all types of terrain you want the right shoes. Yes you can wear your own non-golf specific sports shoes but can they handle mud, slick grass, slopes, rock slabs, roots and wooded areas? And all on the same day? Are your current shoes breathable or do you sweat like a pig during the summer when you’re only half way round the course?

You can get terrain specific and whats even better multi shifting terrain specific shoes because lets be serious for a moment disc golf courses change from wet or dry grass to concrete teepads to woodlands and your shoes have to be able to keep up with the territory and conditions. Take a look at the best disc golf shoes available right now in this post.

 

3. Nalgene Water bottle

Before you hit the course remember to pack some liquids. And what better way to keep them cool than with a la large environmentally friendly filter water bottle like the Nalgene.  Keeps cool in the summer heat, the BPA free plastic is lighter than stainless steel but tastes even better for longer if the water bottle holder on your bag is insulated.

Available up to 6z oz  -Now just make sure you’ve chosen a bag that can fit your Nalgene in.
