Why this matters
Multiple tee positions turn one course into two or three. Short tees let a beginner play a championship layout without losing a dozen discs; long tees give a strong arm a real test on a course that would otherwise be easy.

Cities with the most courses with multiple tee pads
Frequently asked questions
How many disc golf courses are with multiple tee pads?
ThrowSpot lists 2,371 courses flagged with multiple tee pads in PDGA records, about 34% of the 7,008 registered US courses.
Which state has the most courses with multiple tee pads?
Texas with 164, followed by Wisconsin (112) and California (109).
What are multiple tee pads in disc golf?
Two or more tee positions per hole, usually labelled short and long or by colour (red, white, blue, gold). The same basket is played from different distances, which changes par and difficulty substantially.
Which tees should a beginner play?
The shortest available. Playing tees beyond your distance produces a slow, frustrating round and holds up the course. Move up a tee level once you consistently score within 10 strokes of par.
