Disc
Golf Course Equipment: Tees
Tees
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.
Reprocessed Rubber Mats
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.
