Each consecutive throw is made from where the disc came to rest after the last throw. Score is determined by counting the number of throws made on each hole plus penalty throws and then summing holes. The winner is the player who completes the course with the lowest score.

These natural obstacles are very much a part of the game and must be altered by the players in any way to decrease the difficulty of a hole. Disc golf courses are normally 18 holes in length, but there are other combinations as well including the 27 hole course that you find in Skien fritidspark.
