Toboggan or Winthrop from what I've play so far. Want to get to the Canyon next year so we'll see how this goes.

Crucible

I may have beat you to it, but more people need to know about this course. On second thought, lets keep it our little secret so I don't have trouble signing up for their awesome tournaments there. Shoutout to Elite Brothers Disc Golf.

Thanks! Our spring tournament will be an A-tier again! We'll open up registration in early January!

Nothing will keep me from this. Dont know my schedule yet but I'm hitting up one of the practice days most likely. Maybe doubles.

After playing the Crucible yesterday I'd say it's either that or the temp course put up on Whispering Pines for the SH*T.

Meh. I always thought playing disc golf on a ball golf course would be awesome, until I actually did it. Though nice to look at, it's really pretty boring for a disc. With the wide open fairways and no ceiling, there's not any real enforced accuracy. That is, unless you make the holes super long and create some artificial OB lines, in which case you're basically playing in a well groomed field.

That being said, my grandmother used to live in Whispering Pines, and that's the coolest thing I've seen coming out of that town.

The only ongoing, established temp course I've played is the Toboggan... but what a course it is.

I also enjoyed the Hudson Mills Campground course used for one round during the 2012 Discraft Great Lakes Open - Ams... but Toboggan takes the cake.

I may sound like a loud mouthed local, but when a leading DG manufacturer hand picks a plot of land specifically for the purpose of hosting a tournament and invites the nation's top amatuer players to come and battle it out, it better be a helluva course. It is.

Unfortunately, haven't had the opportunity to play any version of The Canyon, and although I played Winthrop Lakefront, I didn't get the chance to play the Gold layout.

Just one?

Here's a bit of a tip. Last year my brothers and I traveled down for the Am weekend, and practiced the course on Friday. Play was ridiculously slow, with people playing in eightsomes and throwing multiple shots, and eventually doubles starting up. It took us 5 hours, and we skipped a few holes.

Then, later in the afternoon the course, or at least the front 9, were completely empty. Everyone who had crowded onto the course had made it to the back 9, or finished.

So we pledged if we did it again, we'd get there when the gates opened, play some, then return about 3:00 or 4:00 and play the front 9.

With no guarantees this year will be like last year---but that would be my tip. Or, at least, play an earlier practice day.

And as many other days as you can manage.

Gotta be the Dam Course in Chattanooga which is a temp course for the Belchin Turkey (sold out)

I'll be filming Will's rounds at The Belch'n Turkey XII, so there will be some Dam footage (haha) posted in a few weeks.

Not my favorite temp course, but still fun to play. Lakeshore Park (Knoxville, TN) Holes 1-9

Is this a proposal layout? The parks dept. ran a survey, about a year ago, a disc golf course was one of the options for the long term plan at Lakeshore.

I've got about 11 holes laid out that we play on Wednesday nights.

I'm playing at a temporary course tomorrow installed at Sherwood Island State Park in CT. Its a yearly tournament.

its a beautiful beach park with wetlands/mangroves/large open fields/dunes/beaches. There are actually plans to make it a permanent DG course that will be open in the offseason (September 30th - May 1) so it will be actually free to use (usual park entry is $13 to park they also have season passes).

I just helped out with some of the installation today (also to scout/practice the course for tomorrow) and its an epic course around 7500ft long with some holes at 700ft par 4s to a 280ft shot from about 50ft elevation down to the basket at the beach, there are also some technical holes through wooded areas with elevation/hills.

[/url]

Walking all 18holes while throwing shots at each tee/playing the course was near 4miles on my GPS watch.

If it ever does become a permanent course I bet even doing just one round will be tiring. Two rounds will be quite a hike/workout.

Its going to be in the mid 40's with strong gusts of wind and rain tomorrow too. Two round tourney on this beast of a beach island course in the frigid gusty wet is going to be EPIC.

Named from my ancestors. My Grandmother was a Sherwood and that side of the family was in the Southport area for hundreds of years. They descended from the people that the Sherwood forest was named after. I should play there, get a little DNA love.

I'm thinking Da Canyon in Florida would be up there.

Really Awesome Course!!!

Just Registered for Throw Down the Mountain III!!

The Wabash Washout course @ McAllister park. The old Lafayette Municipal golf course.

Course is set up for the Greater Lafayette Open. Check out the course maps for how the holes set up. it's a beast from the golds.

Mackenzie State Park in Pahoa, Hawaii. The park is at the SE edge of the Big Island (Hawaii), the Pacific oceans crashes onto many holes. Hole # 6 in particular, I being a LHBH threw an anhyzer to the astonishment of my fellow tournament players over the bumpy lava field terrain and over the Pacific Ocean and back towards the bunkajen basket (object baskets with foot long bamboo tied to a staff, that when blowing in the wind sounded like a bongo drum). Even the holes that we're adjacent to the ocean was like playing in a Pacific Island jungle (they even had an old time Corsair plane race in the vincity that day (making it feeling like I was with my step father in the Pacific in WW2). And the Aloha that I recieved during my whole stay on the island was second to none and will never be forgotten.

I miss the pessimist course in Fort Morgan CO. It got flooded about two years ago and has not been used since.

I find this post particularly interesting. Doesn't seem like many have played both The Canyon and Toboggan.

I have played them and would put them in the same order as Mark...
2013 Canyon
1999 Toboggan
2014-15 Canyon


I suspect the Toboggan is considerably less interesting now with the rough removed but have not played it to be able to judge.
