AJ just posted on Facebook they finished up all 18 holes at Scotlandville Park in Baton Rouge, LA.
Yeah, except that they didn't finish the course. The basket for hole 14 hasn't been installed because they are waiting for someone to desing some sort of gimmick basket mount an none of the tee signs or basket numbers have been installed so navigation is a nightmare (as might be expected from an unfinished course).
But the big problem at this point seems to be the tee pads IMO. I don't know if it was the speed of the installation or just the lack of skill of the volunteers who installed them, but they are very uneven - uneven and "lumpy" enough to affect your shot if you are expecting them to be flat. The problem isn't the turf so much as how poorly the underlying surface was prepared before putting the turf down. I also played a course across town where another, single DiscGolfPark tee was installed and it was in the same condition. In fact, another group teed off the ground near that tee instead of throwing from it. If this is indicative of DiscGolfPark tees, I'd be very wary of going that route over concrete irrespective of any difference in cost.
