Pacific Outdoors Disc Golf Goal

I own about 3 acres and was looking to setup a practice course in my back yard. I spend a few weeks researching the baskets on the market and how much time and money I would invest building my own. I finally settled on the "Pacific Outdoors / Instep Goal" because it looked to be a great value for the price (I caught them on sale for $80ea + free shipping).I had the opportunity to see the Innova Skillshot in person and was not impressed with it. It folds up like an umbrella for easy portability, but is tiny and looks cheaply made. I also looked at the Halex but the pictures didn't make it appear to be as sturdy or as easy to mount permanently at a later date. The Innova DISCatcher and DGA M-14 both appear to be made out of heavier material (from the pictures) and they may be better for a more public course, but at almost twice the price it wasn't worth for me to find out.I purchased 3 goals and so far I am very happy with them. Assembly was quick and easy, they are very stable and the quality is good. Many reviews have mentioned adding a second set of chains (which would be very easy) but I haven't noticed a big problem with them. I will probably be purchasing the same goal when I expand my course.Update: 5 years + some abuse later and the goals are holding up well. No rust at all.

I really like this disc golf target. It works very well, catching almost everything that hits it. It is rare for a shot to go through the chains. It is well worth the price for the fun you wiil have with it. It is such a great outdoor activity for the family at any age.It allows me to play in the yard when I don't have time to go to a disc golf course. I have also taken it to a park down the street for longer shots. It is very easy to carry it, break it down, pack in the car and set up again. My putt and approach shots are improving.I liked this so much, I bought a second one on eBay for $79 delivered. Now my son and I can shoot back and forth, like horse shoes between 2 goals. You have to really search (disc golf goal, basket, target) on eBay to find the one at this lower price.

This was the least expensive disc golf basket I could find on the internet. It catches discs well but some get through since there are no inner chains. I was able to add inner chains very easily by going to the local hardware store and buying galvanized chains and plenty of S hooks. My friends bolt cutters came in handy too! I love how you can quickly assemble/disassemble it with the quick release pins. I can disassemble it and it takes up very little room if you want to take it camping etc... It is pretty light in weight but yet well constructed. I took mine recently to a temporary disc golf course and a guy there had one just like mine, his was several years old and still holding up very well. I am very tempted to buy a few more and make a mini course on my 2 acres. Just what I needed to improve my short game and the youth height adjustment is an added bonus. Highly recommend over building your own. I would much rather pay [...] more to have a solid basket w/ quick assemble/disassemble features than spend several hours building an ok disc basket. The 3 discs that come w/ it are trash. Hope this helps.

I got three of these for the course in my backyard thanks to some reviews on our local club website. If you're not looking to spend more serious cash to pick up the "real" baskets, these are a great serviceable alternative. They're sturdy, VERY easy to put together (and take apart), and yet light enough to move around easily. I had considered making my own, but I don't think I could have done it this well or this cheaply.They don't, however, behave exactly like the baskets out on the course... These are more difficult targets for a few reasons: the depth of the basket seems to be slightly less than the typical baskets, there is only one set of chains, and the chains also seem to fall rather loosely and are, therefore, a little less likely to grab the disc.Most of this is fine for putting, but it becomes much more difficult to sink anything at any sort of distance.Overall, this was still a great purchase. I do plan to add a second row of chains soon to see how that affects play, but other than that, I'm happy with the product.Oh. These baskets also come with three discs... the mid-range and putter are fine, but the driver is horrible. Or maybe I'm horrible. Who knows.

I have to say this disc golf goal it very good for the price. I was able to put it together in four minutes, its fairly portable and the clips are easy to use and its sturdy. The discs that came in the package are really knock-offs but they are fine for the backyard, I had minimal issues throwing them. However, If I was practicing for the course I would use my "professional" set. I did notice a little blow-through that other reviewers had mentioned so I can see where a second inner set of chains could help if your being particular, but you could also just leave it as the difficulty of the goal. as for the amateurs, if you love Quoits, Horseshoes, bocce ball I recommend this as a great addition to your assortment of back yard games.
