Wayfinding System : Disc Golf Course

Wayfinding System - Mott Disk Golf

ABOUT THIS PROJECT:  

This is an environmental signage system designed for clarity, durability, and quick visual scanning in outdoor conditions.

Mott Park required a cohesive disc golf signage system that could guide players of all experience levels through an 18-hole course with varied terrain, water hazards, and sightlines. The signs needed to be highly legible outdoors, consistent across holes, and easy to understand at a glance.

Each sign balances map clarity with environmental simplicity. Terrain is abstracted for fast comprehension, hazards are clearly marked, and typography is sized for readability from multiple distances.

MEDIUM: Illustrator, InDesign

SYSTEM OVERVIEW:

  • Unified layout applied consistently across all 18 holes
  • Clear typographic hierarchy for instant readability
  • Simplified course maps for fast visual comprehension
  • Standardized icons for hazards and basket location
  • Color-coded terrain cues for orientation
  • Optimized for outdoor legibility in varied conditions
