Each disc golf hole begins from a tee. Some courses have natural tees, some courses have mats made of reprocessed tires, but the accepted norm is a textured slab of concrete.
Natural Tees
Natural tees are the easiest to install, and cost the least, but with a lot of use, they can become rutted. Rain will also make natural tees muddy, and slippery. Natural tees work best in dry climates and sandy soils. Areas that receive a lot of rain or have loose soil may want to consider an alternate tee surface.

Rubber Tees
Many disc golfers like the sure footing that rubber mats provide. Some preparation of the ground is necessary to produce a flat, safe surface. The mat is spiked down at each corner and once more at the center of each side.

Concrete Tees

Concrete tees with a coarse finish provide the best throwing surface for all types of disc golf drives. A firm, level, slip-free surface must be provided for long power drives. Concrete tees are the most maintenance free, long lasting tee surfaces. Properly installed concrete tees will last 15-20 years.
