Course Quality Disc Golf Baskets

There are several different brands of course grade disc golf baskets, all of which serve the same function and purpose. The prices of these targets are comparable but savings will come from having them shipped from a location close to where you want them shipped. Course quality baskets weigh approximately 70 pounds each, so the freight cost is something to consider when making your decision. The less the distance the targets have to travel, the more you will likely save in shipping costs.
