Disc Golf Supplies: discs, bags, targets, clothing, accessories, & more.
We sell fun! Established in 1987 by disc golf Hall of Famer Rick Rothstein, Disc Golf World is one of the oldest disc sports companies in the game. When we first opened, we sold stuff the old fashioned way: through phone sales and our now antiquated Disc Golf World Sales Catalogue. We have since grown into the largest disc golf store in the Midwest through our online store, our brick and mortar shop in Kansas City, MO, as a regional and national wholesaler, and as the instigator and merchandiser of the Ice Bowl®—an international network of winter tournaments for charity.
