Turn your course signage into a revenue stream and attract sponsors with professional, branded visuals.
Every disc golf course needs great signage — but what if your tee signs could also help fund your project?
In this post, we’ll show how to turn your signage and caddie books into valuable sponsorship opportunities that benefit both your course and the local community.
If you want to attract sponsors to your course or tournament, monetizing your tee signs and caddie books is one of the most effective ways to get local businesses involved and supporting your project.
Tee signs and course maps represent your course to the world — they communicate everything players and visitors need to know at a glance. At the same time, they’re your biggest opportunity as a designer, club, or event organizer to bring in outside partners.
To ensure your signage looks professional and attractive to sponsors, start by learning the basics of disc golf tee sign design and the best materials for disc golf tee signs.
Why Focus on Tee Signs?
- Everyone sees them. Every player on the course looks at each tee sign — often multiple times per round.
- They’re visible before players even reach the course. Whether it’s for a permanent course or a tournament layout, tee signs and maps are often viewed in advance — on event pages, social media, or in caddie books.
- They appear in videos. Many content creators include tee sign visuals in their coverage, giving your sponsors lasting visibility.

Sponsorship Opportunities at Events
Tournaments are a perfect setting for signage-based sponsorships — and they don’t need to be limited to the event week.
- Event layouts are often new to players, which means every participant studies the tee signs and maps carefully.
- You can create custom-branded versions of existing signs in your sponsor’s colors or with their logo.
- Sell individual holes or hole packages — sponsors can “own” one or several holes.
- A well-branded, professional setup makes it easier for sponsors to say yes — it reflects positively on their brand, too.

Permanent Courses: Long-Term Visibility
For permanent installations, signage offers ongoing exposure to both locals and visitors:
- Many players travel to play your course — and they eat, stay, and shop locally.
- Sponsors benefit from long-term brand presence in a community space that promotes outdoor activity and recreation.
- It’s a great opportunity for towns, restaurants, and tourism services to connect with active audiences.
Creating professional-looking signage — even during the planning phase — also increases your chances of attracting partners early in your project.

Building Your Sales Pitch
When approaching potential partners, focus on data and relevance:
- Provide estimated visitor numbers and local reach.
- Explain how and why players view the signage (both on-site and online).
- Show where the sponsor’s logo will appear and how it connects to their brand — for example, through outdoor activity, local visibility, or tourism.
With Parkdly, you can easily prepare sponsor-ready visuals.

Who to Approach
Think about businesses that benefit directly or indirectly from disc golf traffic:
- Accommodation providers – hotels, cottages, campsites.
- Food services – restaurants, cafés, breweries, and local grocery stores.
- Municipalities or tourism offices – promoting outdoor activities.
- Local attractions and recreation services.
- Retailers – especially those targeting active visitors.
What Makes a Good Sponsor?
The best sponsors are those whose values align with the spirit of disc golf.
Look for businesses that promote outdoor living, community, or active lifestyles. A good sponsor doesn’t just buy visibility — they want to be part of the story your course tells.
Consider offering different sponsorship tiers — from small hole signs to premium course map placements — so partners of all sizes can get involved.
Final Thoughts
Monetizing your signage isn’t just about selling space — it’s about creating mutually beneficial partnerships that enhance both the player experience and community engagement. With the right visuals and professional presentation, your course can attract meaningful sponsors and sustain long-term growth.
