Private Course Open To Everyone! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 26, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Disc Golf Pugwash (Love the name!) is on private land but is free to play. The piece of property is flat but features three distinct terrain types; open with scattered trees, a wooded area and a wide open field area. There is also a small pond which comes into play on holes 13, 14 & 15.

The baskets are combination of Discatchers with the yellow rim and an older model, which I'm not familiar with, divided about 50/50. The tee signs are simple poles with the hole number on it and a red dot painted on the pole. The red dot points right at the basket. There are no tee pads to speak of, just worn spots in the grass, mostly. I think # 10 pad did have a front board.

There were five holes playing over 300' with the longest being # 13 @ 380'. It's slightly downhill with a fairly narrow fairway cut out of the tall grass and the pond lurking behind.

There was a tournament going being held on the Sunday morning that I showed up to play. What a friendly bunch of guys! Had about 15 players out and everyone was willing to help give me directions or just chat. Very impressive, especially considering they were the midst of a tourney.

At the corner of the hi-way and Miller Street, about a 1/2 mile away from the course, there's a sign that says "Disc Golf". Nice!

Course was pretty easy to follow as one of the nice local fellows gave me a Pugwash Golf Course map.

Cons:

Natural tee pads could use some work.
Mix and match baskets.
Stomping through tall, wet grass. Wear gaiters or gore tex boots.

Fairly mundane course set up but this is the only basket course within .....what?.......50...60...miles? That's like being the only girl in a remote logging camp in Alaska. After awhile, she starts to look awfully good!

Other Thoughts:

If I lived in Pugwash, would that make me? A Pugwasher? A Pugwashinton? A Pugwashee? A Pug? Whatever they would call me, I would be out here with this group of wonderful guys playing in their tourneys and playing this little course on a very regular basis.
