2.50 star(s) A decent course overall Good tee pads. Solid variation between holes of dense woods, elevation, and fields with trees. Rewards players with shot variation. A fun short course to play quickly A lot of the holes are close to each other. I watched multiple people get HIT, and I heard people yelling...

3.50 star(s) So much potential... needs so much work Amazingly good usage of space! REALLY fun holes with a nice variety. The wooded holes are great! Double tee pads give this 18 hole potential in a small space! Tee pads are non-existant. All of them are dirt, and rather tore up. Navigation could use...

5.00 star(s) Notable improvements to the course! Great variety of holes that reward a wide variety of throwing styles. You can't rely on just one disc and one style of throw here and expect to do well! Good distances, good choice of making some holes par 4's and 5 when there is a longer distance. Great...

1.50 star(s) Happy brush hunting... If you're an amazing player with great long distance placement shots, this place could be enjoyable. Poor signage. All very faded or damaged. Plays near roadways and spaces occupied by people, making precision shots that much more difficult. Lots of natural growth all...

4.50 star(s) Great layout, great signage GREAT signage! Great teepads. Solid use of alternate baskets vary distance. Fun and easy. Would underwhelm very advanced players. Great example of making the most of a space. Didn't jam 18 baskets into a tiny place, no holes heading towards roads, easy to find stuff...

Clicked:Zlite Avenger SS. Picked up the disc, and instantly threw good distances with consistent flight pathes. Not: Nuke SS for sidearm. I need more over-stability for my sidearm throws with this disc, but the regular nuke is too over stable and winds up diving pretty hard long before it's out...

Buzzz or bust!

3.50 star(s) Great for beginners/quick rounds 1- Very beginner friendly. 2- Easy to navigate layout 3- Enough variation to require a few different shots or thought consideration. 4- Few longer distance holes to disenhearten beginners. 5- Grass is typically well maintained. 1- Get's swampy when the rainy...

3.00 star(s) Fun short course Mellow layout, easy distances, a great short break course to play! Doesn't seem to be used almost ever so it's pretty much wide open it would seem. No baskets, just tone poles (IE: Hit it and it makes noise). Makes it a bit more challenging in some regards, easier in other...

3.50 star(s) Decent course, could be excellent with some work! Easy to get to park. Many relatively wide open holes made beginners happy. Good usage of terrain and obstacles to keep some challenge in play Annoying/Difficult to navigate. Tee's often missing maps or numbers all together. No directions or clear...

2.50 star(s) sometimes less is more Variety and challenge. Tee pads are often destroyed. Many to most holes cross each other. Confusing layout. Ponds are disgusting. Eats many a disc. This course would have been vastly superior with greater attention spent on 12 holes versus stuffing 18 in. Its just too much...

3.50 star(s) Not bad, odd criss crossing layout Good baskets Relatively easy to navigate Most tees are not excessively wooded Lots of tee signs with measured distances Multiple basket and tee combos scales course to any skill level and/or keeps course fresh. Many tee/basket combos result in potential...

My first effort, more a proof of concept and itching a scratch than anything serious. This build cost $1.22, mostly because I used 8% of the $14 of stick welding supplies I picked up. For the base, I found a solid steel restaurant table base, the small two person table style. It had a big...

Additional note... The disc catcher pro baskets I am used to have 22" tops, so a 20" BMX wheel on top and a 26" cheap-o mountain bike on the bottom will be close enough for me!

This is a fun thread. I'm going to join up with this and post my contraption as soon as I finish! I did some research on PDGA approved baskets and what not as of 2014 according to PDGA. Here's their spread sheet of data, with some inconsequential data (IMO) removed and then put into google...
