Pros:
Winding Creek is a Christian summer cap/retreat center. There are lots of cabins and travel trailers around. The disc golf course starts across the little street from the cabins and plays off into the sunset. The course is mostly in grasslands but later does get into the wooded area. The signs are white PVC posts with the hole # and distance on them. There are no tee pads nor is there any evidence of any. I think the crime scene has been wiped down. The baskets are some temporary, single chain model. Some have a extended pole on top with a ribbon or something flying. That helped on a couple of holes.
# 1 is a 255' throw around a large tree. There is a sign on the basket pointing to # 2. Thank you. # 2 is 367' down a mowed fairway that's not very wide. The grass here was not horribly rough. # 3 plays 300' up the hill where the big cross is. 4 & 5 then play through some narrow fairways with some nasty rough in places. # 6 is 305' throwing blindly over a small hill. # 7 is 285' down a narrow mowed fairway with tall grass on the sides. # 8 was kind of a cool look playing 238' up a small hill with the basket barely visible. Then # 9 plays 425' with a narrow fairway back to your starting location
Cons:
As usual, I have to ask? Who are you building this course for? Is it for the Christian families who have never played before? That family playing with one borrowed disc each. They will never play again after scratching the hell out of their arms and legs here. I doubt if they thought it was great fun searching for little Johnnie's errant throws on every hole. If they are the intended target audience, then put in simple little open holes with no chance of losing/or having to search for their disc.
No tee pads.
Narrow fairways with tall grass on sides.
They didn't return my calls.
Other Thoughts:
Just another lost soul who has lost their way and designed a disc golf course that no-one will want to play. It's a little too long, the fairways are a little narrow, the grass rough is just long enough to be a pain in player's behind and the stickers are sticky and sharp and just not pleasant. When you add up the total campers and divide by the campers who actually played this course, then multiple by the campers who returned a second time for more punishment, you'll probably get a big Zero. The course is not getting much play. But I was able to add one more bagged course to my total
