Pick a bag by how many discs you carry and how you like to walk. Shoulder bags hold a small set and suit casual rounds. Backpack bags carry more discs and spread the weight across both shoulders. Carts carry the most and take the weight off your body for long rounds and tournaments. Look for a putter pocket, a bottle holder and room for a towel and rain gear.
A good bag keeps your discs organized and your back happy.

Common questions
How many discs should a disc golf bag hold?
Beginners only need space for a handful. Buy a little more capacity than you carry now so your bag grows with you.
Is a disc golf backpack worth it?
If you carry more than about ten discs or play long courses, a backpack is more comfortable than a shoulder bag.
Do I need a disc golf cart?
Carts help on long rounds and in tournaments. Check that the bag you own fits the cart.
