    MacBeth to Partner on Gran Canyon Course

    bring back the old days Thanks so much, Paul M! Back when it was a full-time course in the early 00s (designed by Gregg Hosfeld I think), it had 27 holes plus mountain biking paths. I was a youngster then LOL, and playing just 18 was a beatdown! Not sure what McBeth and Cease think about...

    Review by macfleming1 in course Jackson Park

    4.50 star(s) Richmond Hill's Smokin' Hot Little Sister The setting! Jackson Park is a beautiful property for disc golf, featuring six park-style (1-3,11,14,16) and 12 wooded holes--a fantastic mix. It has a course map and practice basket at the parking lot and the tee pads and baskets are excellent. Benches...

    Review by macfleming1 in course Tom Brown Park

    4.50 star(s) Brown Beast Tom Brown is a beast of a course, not just because he has 24 holes, but thanks to the challenge available from the long tees, oftentimes even the short ones. Bonus holes A-F are the best holes out here, featuring C as a signature challenge. Its long tee calls for a shot across a...

    Most unpopular/uncommon disc you throw?

    Thoroughly enjoy my DGA Squall. That's not popular, right?

    Up and Coming Good Reviewers

    It took me a sec to figure out the spaghetti reference. My intent was for it to read like Plasticfari without the c. Pastafari would be cool also, reminds me of one of my favorite restaurants in Ft. Collins, CO when I lived there, Rasta Pasta. It was just down the street from The Wrightlife...

    Review by macfleming1 in course Brevard College DGC

    2.50 star(s) Above-Avg Campus Course Holes 6-11 are park-style holes playing around a church property. Nice trees, not too many, but I managed to find several. 6 and 9 have really cool greens. 12 and 13 are short, but in much thicker woods, plus have roll-away risk. 16 plays up a hill toward an abandoned...

    Central Coast Disc Golf - CCDG vids

    GREAT work at LVC. I think Barsby really hit his stride in round two, making him an elite-level color commentator at this point. Guessing you provide good guidance in order to get whoever your sidekick is "up to speed." Keep it up!

    Review by macfleming1 in course USF Riverfront Park

    4.00 star(s) Fun golf on the River Very nice park setting. Front nine winds around a semi-open area, making good use of trees and staying outside picnic areas. Back nine is a little more wooded, including many palmettos, but still has well-defined super cool fairways. Good flow/easily navigated. Not overly...

    Review by macfleming1 in course Hidden Oaks DGC

    4.00 star(s) Lakeland/Mulberry has it going on! Dedicated parking with course map and bathrooms. Great baskets, concrete tees and informative signage,including "next tee" which makes for easy navigation. 1-3 are a nice warm-up, woodsy but not overly technical or long. The rest are situated on a minor hill...

    Review by macfleming1 in course Picnic Island DGC

    4.50 star(s) Picnic is Primo LOCATION: Wonderful setting on Tampa Bay w/two holes right on the water. Good parking, w/two more lots nearby for overflow. Slight elevation changes aren't much, but give excellent drainage--a huge plus in rainy season. No significant standing water even with our Summer 2015...

    Review by macfleming1 in course Gordy Road

    4.50 star(s) Advanced Destination Gordy DGC has just about everything you could want except elevation. Advanced players will appreciate the long tees, which create bomber distances on several holes including three water carries (1, 6, and 7). Short tees save the day for recs and older players like me, both...

    Best Places to Retire and Play Disc Golf?

    Tampa Bay Area No state income tax, warmth (in spades), solid DG course selection on both sides of Tampa Bay as well as to the south in Bradenton/Sarasota.

    New to Syracuse, NY [looking for league info]

    Go east to Oxbow Falls I used to travel from FL to Norwich or Utica for work (flew into Syracuse). Oxbow Falls was nearly an hour away, but I went every day after work, weather permitting. Gawd I miss that place. Amazing elevation (possible overstatement by a FL boy), hole designs, etc. BFE...

    Best DG Course and Brewery Combo.

    Tampa Cigar City Brewing is right round the corner from Cypress Point DGC. With a handful of super long holes and a zillion palm trees, Cypress will drive you to drink. Both near Tampa International Airport, too.

    Review by macfleming1 in course Cypress Point Park

    2.50 star(s) not fun This course is for the pros with its monster length. Very scenic, excellent baskets, great signs, fantastic tee pads. At age 51, I play DG for fun. Cypress Point is not fun due to excessive length and ridiculous number of trees. On 1, 4, 8, 16, 17, and 18, it takes 2-3 perfect drives to...
