Step 1. Your experience

Step 2. How often you will play

Reference

Buy in this order

The order matters more than the brands. Discs come first because they are what you actually throw. A basket before discs, or a rangefinder before a bag, is money spent backwards. This checklist works without any of the controls above.

1. Discs

A putter, a midrange, and a fairway driver cover every shot. Buy these before anything else.

2. Bag

Something to carry discs and gear. A tote is fine to start; upgrade to a backpack when you play often.

3. Basket

A portable basket turns any lawn into a putting green. The fastest way to lower your score.

4. Rangefinder and accessories

Distance tools, a retriever, towel, and mini markers. Useful once you play regularly.

Beginner Disc Sets Disc Golf Bags

The builder needs JavaScript to tailor the checklist. The buy-in-order list above works without it. Whatever your level, start with a beginner disc set, then add a bag, and only then a basket and accessories.
