Ohio is making a name for itself in the world of disc golf, and the best part? Many of its top-rated courses are completely free to play. According to the latest rankings from UDisc—the go-to app for tracking courses, navigating holes, and connecting with fellow players—Ohio boasts some of the finest disc golf courses on the planet. In fact, two of them rank among the best in the world.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources was quick to celebrate the news, with Ohio State Parks taking to social media on May 5 to highlight that three of the state’s top 10 courses are nestled within its state park system. "With 432 courses statewide, that’s another huge win for our award-winning state park system and the players who love these landscapes," the agency wrote. It’s a testament to Ohio’s commitment to outdoor recreation and the growing popularity of disc golf.
So, which courses made the cut? UDisc’s 2026 rankings for the best disc golf courses in Ohio—based on player ratings—include four that are nationally ranked and two that earned worldwide recognition. Here’s the full list:
