- We want to grow the sport by making it more accessible by e.g. build more disc golf courses.

About us
Heatland Discgolf is run by disc golf entrepreneur Michael Bui. He is very active in disc golf regionally, where he sits as chairman of Filipstad’s Disc Golf Club and board member of Karlstad’s Frisbee Sport Club, where he focuses a lot on the development of the sport.
In addition to the regional competitions he organizes weekly, he also organizes an annual international competition Heatland Open , which has become Sweden’s biggest competition.
He has previously been working for PDGA Europe as their Partnerships manager working together with the Euro Tour Manager to get funds to the various different project PDGA Europe has going on, such as the PDGA Euro Tour, the Discovery+ project “The Magic of Disc Golf” and much more.
Michael is an active course designer where he thinks that the biggest focus in a good course design (after safety of course) should be on designing a fun and varied course that suits everyone. Michael has, among other things, designed and built the 18-hole course in SJ-Gropen in Degerfors, 18-hole course in Sannarpsparken in Halmstad and also active in the course design at Kalhyttan’s Discgolf course in Filipstad, where the major international competition Heatland Open is played.
Michael is himself a very active practitioner of the sport and in 2020 and 2021 he had played the most sanctioned rounds in all of Sweden.
