Ninth Hole DGC Is A Wine Barrel Of Fun! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 7, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Ninth Hole DGC is a private course which surrounds a house belonging to the president of the local club. This property has the feel of a city or county park with scattered mature Fir trees and no underbrush. The property slopes down all the way to the street providing players with a bunch of gently, sloping downhill drives.

The tee pads are carpet. They're adequate. The baskets are wine barrels which have been sawed in half, and painted two different colors. They're like two toned 55 Chevrolets. They seem to catch well. There are nine baskets and you play to each twice, with each feeling completely different from the other.

Two things stick out in my mind about this course. First, every hole was enjoyable. There are no throw-a-way holes. Secondly, it seems like every other review you read says, "I threw every disc in my bag." That's such an overused, bullshit review statement that I've never uttered before until NOW! I did throw everything I had at this course.

There are lots of tricky basket placements as well as some interesting routes throwing over gullies or close to the neighbor's fence. Most holes are between 200' and 350' although # 5 and # 15 play 450' and 500', respectfully.

Cons:

The carpet pads aren't the best.

Navigation would be impossible for a first time player without a guide.

I wonder how this configuration would work with a course full at tournament time. They have tourneys here so they must make it work.

No signage.

Two toned wine barrel baskets? They seem to catch Okay.

Lacks amenities that other course have like signage, benches, bag holders, etc.

Other Thoughts:

What Ninth Hole DGC lacks it more than makes up for with one enjoyable, well designed course. Thanks to Randy for guiding me. The club has recently had some bad publicity but Randy is working hard to bring peace to all. I hope he succeeds as this course is a gem.
