    How do you “lose” discs?

    I don't think I've ever left one on the course. But I've definitely lost a bunch in water, leaves, underbrush, and especially down in Florida in the salt bush. I had a spot in my bag, backup to my favorite driver, I had to replace that disc after about every trip to Florida. Once I got a Roc...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Curtis Memorial Park

    4.00 star(s) Most Every Disc Golf Need is Accounted For at Curtis Memorial Wayfinding aids, three good tees for every hole, course design, overall excellence of the individual holes, a number of really fun shots. Barely a con, but the entire course is in the woods, so not much landscape variety. Whatever...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Moneta Park

    4.00 star(s) Green Grass and Rolling Hills Landscape, signage, tees, multiple baskets Moneta Park is a scenic multi-use park not far from Smith Mountain Lake. Discers may have to work a bit to get there but the course and the surrounding area are well worth the effort. The reward is a destination disc golf...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Pine Valley

    3.00 star(s) Pines Galore in Prince George First-time friendly, nice concrete tees, two per hole, open and wooded holes, not all par 3, variety of angles needed off the tee. The Pine Valley course at Scott Memorial Park is accurately named; two-thirds of the course plays through a young pine forest, with...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Northwest River Park DGC

    2.50 star(s) Woods by the Waters Serene playing environment, first time friendly, surrounding park Lack of variety among the holes, some tees a bit rough. Northwest River Park is a hidden gem, passed by unknown thousands of travelers bound for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The park features a pristine...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Goyne Park DGC

    2.50 star(s) Varied Virginia Piedmont Course Variety of hole layouts and thus shots needed. Signage and concrete teepads. Many fairways overlap or virtually face each other. A few holes that are muddy more often than not. Goyne Park is a relatively small but nicely varied course set in an outer suburb of...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Dorey Park

    2.50 star(s) Richmond's Original Woods Course v2 Quiet setting, varied elevation Dorey Park is typical of several of the older disc golf courses in Virginia; from the white tees, it's a relatively short course in a big, nice park but is set away from the main park in a set of woods that otherwise probably...

    3.00 star(s) Multiple Challenges, Multiple Rewards Landscape, shot variety, signage, a few top-end holes Average length, some holes overly wooded The disc golf course at the University of Richmond shows its Jekyll side for the first two holes, with excellent signage and short but well manicured and lightly...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Seneca Creek State Park

    4.50 star(s) Another Elite Maryland Course Beautiful setting and landscape, full range of challenges except true water hole. Long on amenities. Not many - some navigation challenges maybe, and some rough tees. Definitely some lost disc risk. Seneca Creek has long been considered one of the elite disc golf...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Pleasant Grove Park

    3.00 star(s) Over the Hills and Through the Woods, but Please Don't Throw Me in the Briar Patch Serene wooded landscape, upkeep, balance of skills required to succeed, way finding aids to keep you on the right path. Thick, punishing rough on many holes. Pleasant Grove Park is full up on outdoor...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Pharaoh's Tomb at White Bank Park

    3.00 star(s) Varied Holes and Good Landscape Hole layout, nice park landscape, variety of individual holes. Holes that play over or too close to parking areas. White Bank Park is an excellent park on a branch of the Appomattox River, with playgrounds, a boat ramp, and lots of picnic areas. The disc golf...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Walnut Creek Park

    4.00 star(s) Picture Perfect Mountain Course Landscape, setting, varied challenges per hole. Excellent signage and nice tees. A good number of truly distinctive holes, including one of the best in the state. Thickets and underbrush, especially on the back, could lead to a fair amount of time searching for...

    Review by jaymon1 in course Munden Point

    3.00 star(s) Scenic Rural Waterside Course Beautiful waterside setting, concrete tee pads, signage, pretty easy to follow once you find #1, two baskets per hole, overall upkeep. A shortish course with not many obstacles between tee and basket in most cases. Setting is the key appeal of Munden Point. Though...
