With Pads This Could Be A Great Little 9 Holer! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 18, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

When you combine the large, mostly open rolling expanse of lawn below the wine tasting room with the lovely green, wooded, hilly green park-like area across the road, you have more than enough room for a great little nine hole course. All you need now is someone with a minimal knowledge of disc golf and nine tee pads and PRESTO, you'd have a nice little course here. This rolling terrain is pretty sweet and offers plays a chance for a couple of 350'-400' downhill wide open bombs.

Currently there are nine temporary baskets randomly placed about the property with seven below the wind tasting room and two more across the road in the more wooded area.

Because there are currently no tee pads of any manner, players are forced to either play safari or just play basket to basket.

Cons:

Without tees, players are just practicing. It's a lovely place to throw a few discs. Kind of like going to the beach and throwing along the sand.

Personally, I'm at a lost without pads and signs. Playing basket to basket isn't something I take too seriously. It's just like going out to the closest school and practicing your drives.

Other Thoughts:

I see a world of untapped potential here. The area across the road could easily support four shorter holes and they would feature some nice elevation change, mature trees and a small stream. The area below the wine tasting room could then have five holes including one or maybe two big downhill throws to air it out on. I'd love to have the chance to design a course here. In my mind, I'd envision it being about a 3 rated course.

Most players would chip in the added 1/2 point rating just for the wine tasting at the end. Maybe it could become an ultra exclusive club where players have to wear "Whites" and would sip their glasses of wine whilst playing. Yeah, I can see most of the disc golfers I know playing here in those conditions. Noo, maybe not! Especially not recent formerly esteemed reviewers JR Stengele and sillybizz, who obviously, do not recognize star potential when they gaze upon it!
