I could not find it on cue, but somewhere out there is a video of a casual round (possibly with Feldberg? in Oregon?) that shows someone throwing 300+ down the fairway, and it skips right to their buddy who has already walked up the fairway. He is squatting at his bag, not aware the disc is...

Any South Carolina folks willing to chime in?

Looking for some opinions beyond the reviews. I have played 199 courses (191 on DGCR, missing a few private/temp courses). I'm saving my milestone 200th course for something top-notch. I'll be in South Carolina in January and wondering what is the best and most memorable course in SC that is...

I'd recommend adding Camden II (Milan IL), or swapping it for Eastern (Davenport IA)

Darrell Nodland, currently 1039 rated, lowest rating in his career is 1012. He was registered for Selinske this year in MP50 but withdrew before the event. Maybe he will make an appearance in Selinske 2022. https://www.pdga.com/player/7225/history

Others have sort of alluded to it, but I'll just come right out and emphasize it. Tournament play and casual rounds are really different kinds of experiences. People can enjoy both, but if they do, it's probably for different reasons. Some people prefer one or the other, nothing wrong with...

4.00 star(s) New layout in 2017, now 18 holes This course was expanded to 18 holes in 2017. It was previously a really fun 12 hole course, and the best features remain, plus the changes are all positives. Some new concrete teepads. The best thing about this course is the variety. Excellent use of elevation...

It's hard to manage dew, it's a tough condition for even the best of shoes. The Goretex starts leaking before the rest of the shoe gets worn out. This problem is big if you are wearing waterproof shoes all the time, whether or not the waterproofing is needed. I solve this problem by cycling the...

Darrell Nodland, 50+, 1033 The guy barely plays, but would win the "obscure legend" category... most likely the top rated 50+ player ever, and maybe the highest win percentage ever (admittedly padded by playing obscure events). I finally got to play his Patterson Lake course this past summer...

Early morning rounds with dew. After all that wiping, no need for further cleaning.

4.00 star(s) Epic challenge - good quality Innova baskets, some holes with two, color-coded - two or more large high-quality concrete tees on most holes - several excellent designs of par 4 and par 5 multishot holes that force careful thinking about the shot-shape and positioning for approach - surprisingly...

Star Tern One of my all time favorite 9-hole courses! Recently became 18, but this site has not been updated. The original 9 was excellent. Especially signature hole 8 an outstanding top-of-the-world type drive with a gorgeous uphill low ceiling approach fairway.

4.50 star(s) Fantastic course with epic holes This course is part of a 2-course 36-hole complex built in a defunct ball golf course along the Mississippi River. The two courses have different color Prodigy baskets orange and yellow, to help navigation. Timberwolf uses the orange baskets, and is the tougher...

4.00 star(s) Solid complement to the other course onsite This course is part of a 2-course 36-hole complex built in a defunct ball golf course along the Mississippi River. The two courses have different color Prodigy baskets orange and yellow, to help navigation. Lynx uses the yellow baskets, and is the...
