This is some pretty sweet signage... Paul's Valley.

Yep. Actually, there's at least one other sign that has a typo also, though I can't remember which one or what it is offhand.
(Unless I'm unaware of another newer thread) It's been nearly 3 years since we've seen some prime sign examples. Show them to me!
Grand Central Station in Central, SC has some great signage done by Plays It Forward. They have done a number of courses as well as all the signage for the US Championship at Winthrop last year.
Video shows some of the signage at Central.

I dig it. Could show flybys of the hole, videos of the hole being played. Videos of the hole being played by girls in bikinis. Input stats on the hole by every player. Or how about a pin placement selection, choose the pin location you want to play and the pin automatically moves.

I'm not biased at all, but my brother designed the signs for Rockness Monster and Sasquatch DGC in Roxboro, NC. I happen to think they are excellent. I especially like the Rockness ones, but the Sasquatch signs are supposed to be fun. If you look at each Sasquatch sign in sequence as you play, the character gets more and more beat up (see the two images). Pretty clever.
But I'm not biased.

This would be a great idea, especially on a private course where you can limit vandalism. Doubt this could ever work on a public course.
For a private course, what about an iPad mini or other small tablet (with a credit card as collateral, perhaps?) for each playing group, with hole-by-hole fly-bys, distance information, a digital scorecard, already on there? Like a digital caddy book + scoring app. When you get back to the clubhouse, the scorecard data is automatically uploaded to a database to keep track of the course scores, notes, and conditions on a round-by-round basis...

Like this a lot. GREAT idea for a permanent sign. Unfortunate if you have to chisel it out again when you change anything on course.
I could see similar signs being done in wood, either burned in or chiseled. Nice find.

Tee signs at Independence Lake - Red Hawk show the elevation change from tee to pin... love that they provide this info. :thmbup:

My favorite as far as practicality goes for our always vandalized signs would be Harrison School's in Canon City, CO. Simple black metal with the hole info. cut out. No matter how much Sharpie or graffitti they can pile on, the signs are always gonna be readable.

Also on all of the signs my brother designed for Dave's courses. Great idea!
Now, what I don't like is a tee sign that tells me the "effective distance" by the PDGA guidelines, e.g. 400', -20', plays 340'. If I see an elevation change, I can figure that part out.

Selah Ranch has the best signs by far out of the courses I have played.
