This seems like a quality item, but it arrived without a necessary piece // the pole cap. It may have fallen out of the shipping box, which had a gap on one side. I am frustrated that I am unable to find a way to request a replacement from or the manufacturer. I am choosing not to return the basket target because I dont think the box would hold up in transit. I will look for a bolt and some washers to substitute for the pole cap.
Nearly a year ago (May 2020), I bought a couple of disc golf baskets so I could get a little fresh air and get some disc golf practice without risking getting out in public. My 5 year old son, who loves to be outside any time and for any reason, started tagging along with me. I gave him a toy Frisbee so he could participate.
Last fall, a guy we hired to do some Bobcat work out front offered to enlarge our back yard. And he did. It was big enough that I decided to add another basket over the winter—but the ones I ordered were no longer available. So I looked at the other options, and settled on the . I would have liked yellow and chrome as color options, as they stand out better against the woods that surround our place, but the red stands out well enough. Maybe fall will have me singing a different tune.
Assembly is amingly easy—it screws together with no tools required. Much easier than the other two, with their Allen bolts and having to force past blobby welds. The only thing that would make it easier would be to mark which of the poles are top and bottom. But I puzzled it out, and had it together in a few minutes. It took longer to carry it down to the corner of the yard where it sits.
Im not reviewing the discs included with the basket—I didnt buy it for the discs—but dont get this basket just because it comes with discs. Theyre not terribly durable, and my mini/course has trees everywhere, so they were dinged up pretty badly the first day out. I gave them to the 5 year old, and he likes to throw them around. I will say the mid/range disc performs well, especially on downhill tee shots, and the putter is OK. If the courses you frequent are mostly grass, they should work well for a while.
Anyway, back to the basket. Im not sure if 12 chains make it a better basket than the 6/chain baskets I have now. Ive had putts glance off chains on both. It came with stakes, although I didnt use them. It has stayed upright despite some high winds this winter and spring, and the only time Ive worried about it tipping over is when the 5 year old pulls on it. (He doesnt do that with the others, and Im not sure why.)
So this is a nice choice for a backyard mini/course. If youre going on a camping trip, its easy to break down and set back up on site. A creative apartment/dweller could probably rig a carry pack to take it somewhere to practice putts and approaches.
I have really enjoyed using this disc golf basket to practice my putting, I live in a apartment complex on the bottom level and can just move it outside into the easement that I live next to whenever I want. Its not especially light because its made out of solid metal but, moving it 30 ft is not a problem. Furthermore it assembles incredibly quickly and you dont need instructions to figure out how to do it. Although I have no plans on disassembling it, because I have a Chevy tahoe, if you own a sedan, disassembling it and putting it in the back of your sedan is a very easy and short process to undertake. I think this product is well worth what they are charging for it and have recommended it to my friends that want disc golf targets. That said, the discs it comes with are crap and if you enjoy playing the game, by your own discs or if you are new buy one of the many fantastic starter packs that are out there.
This is a really great goal for disc golfers. My husband loves it so much it made my brother want one. It was easy to assemble and easy to move. Also easy to pack up and take to another location if needed.

Legitimate disc golf basket with crappy discs
