Can you play disc golf in Yosemite National Park?
No. National Parks do not allow permanent disc golf installations, and throwing discs off-trail conflicts with resource protection rules. The courses listed here are all outside park boundaries, in nearby towns and on other public land.
Combining a park visit with a round
The practical pattern is a morning in the park and an afternoon round in a gateway town, or the reverse. Mather is the natural base at 17.5 miles out. Bring water and expect mountain or high-elevation courses to play longer than the signs suggest, since thinner air and elevation change both affect disc flight.
