Disc Golf Network

Review by eFreeware

Disc Golf Network exists for one purpose: putting live disc golf in front of you. The developer, the Disc Golf Pro Tour itself, built it as the video home for premier events on the tour, and that focus is the most distinctive thing about it. You are not getting a scores app, a course directory or a shop. You are getting cameras at tournaments.

That makes the audience fairly specific. If you follow the pro tour and want to watch rounds as they happen, this is the app built for you. For someone who plays casually and only checks results now and then, the subscription is harder to justify.

What a subscription actually gets you

The app is free to download, but the content sits behind a monthly or yearly subscription purchased inside the app. A subscription gives access to three things: live and post-produced Disc Golf Pro Tour coverage, plus shows and segments found only on the network. Those are three different viewing habits, and the mix is what separates this from catching whatever clips surface elsewhere.

Live coverage is the part that cannot be replicated after the fact. Post-produced coverage suits anyone who cannot sit through a full round in real time, since it packages the event for later viewing. The exclusive shows and segments are the piece you can only get here, which is the clearest argument for paying rather than waiting.

One subscription covers the whole app suite, and the developer says a single login code gets you into all of it. Pricing varies by region, and the app confirms the amount before you buy.

The PDGA discount and how to claim it

PDGA members can get the network at half price on monthly subscriptions, which is a meaningful saving for anyone already paying dues. The catch is procedural: the discount code has to be generated through a web browser rather than in the app. Current members create a code at pdga.discgolfnetwork.com and then enter it on the registration screen at the network's website.

That two-step process is worth knowing about before you subscribe, because it is easy to sign up in the app first and lose the discount. If you are a member, generate the code and register through the site, then use the same login in the app afterward. Non-members can simply subscribe directly and skip the whole dance.

Renewals, cancellation and the trial detail

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each cycle, monthly or yearly. Payment runs through your Google Account, and the developer notes that you can manage it in your account settings after the first payment. If you want to stop, auto-renewal has to be switched off at least 24 hours before the current cycle ends, or your account is charged for the next one.

There is one detail about free trials that is easy to miss: any unused portion is forfeited once you pay. If a trial is part of your sign-up, use it before committing rather than treating it as time you can bank.

None of this is unusual for a streaming subscription, but the timing rules are strict enough that setting a reminder before your renewal date is a reasonable habit. The app itself is free and carries no ads, so the subscription is the only cost involved.

How it fits into following the tour

The value of a service like this scales with how much of the tour you actually watch. Someone who tunes in for a handful of marquee events a year is paying for a lot of unused months on a monthly plan, while a yearly subscription spreads that cost across the season. The yearly option exists precisely for that kind of viewer.

The exclusive shows and segments matter here too. Live and post-produced coverage is tied to the tournament calendar, so between events the network's own programming is what keeps a subscription feeling used rather than dormant. Whether that justifies the ongoing cost depends on how much disc golf you want in your week.

The app has been around since early 2020 and was updated in September 2026, with the latest release described only as fixes and improvements. That points to a service being maintained rather than expanded, with no detail about what changed.

Who this subscription is built for

This is for the viewer who treats the pro tour as something to follow week to week, not just check on afterward. If you already know the players and care about watching rounds unfold live, the combination of live events, post-produced recaps and network-only shows covers the ways you would want to watch. PDGA members get the strongest case, since the monthly discount brings the price down considerably.

The narrower audience is the casual fan. Nothing in the app is designed for someone who mainly wants scores or news, and the subscription is the only way to reach the video. That is not a flaw in the app so much as a description of what it is: a dedicated streaming service for one sport's top tour, priced and structured like one.

A subscription worth weighing for tour followers

It is free to download with no ads, and the subscription is the single cost. For a committed tour follower, especially a PDGA member using the half-price monthly rate, that is a straightforward proposition.

I would weigh it carefully if you only watch occasionally, since the subscription runs continuously whether or not events are on. But if live disc golf is something you plan your weekends around, this is the app the tour itself built for you.
