Is there another course or club in the area that you could partner with? If so, maybe they would be willing to step up and help out with a more permanent arangement. Depending on how "on board" the school is with disc golf, maybe you could explain your concerns about you not being around...

I came up with a very easy way to make number plates for our baskets. I got a 10' piece of 1 1/4 metal fence pipe, cut it into 6" lengths, bought 18 metal electrical box covers and welded the two together(you don't have to weld them, you could just screw them).I painted them all yellow, I...

I am a mach V guy! I can't say which one catches better, because I've missed puts on both, but I like the chain pattern on the Mach V.

We are in the position at our course to have very poor signeage. There is many reasons for this...the first being we are a fairly new course, less than two years, the course has changed so much in two years that even if we tried, we couldn't keep up with the changes. The second reason is when we...

We have a local in Olympia that makes baskets. His original baskets are PDGA approved targets, our club designed a variation of his original that has three sets of chains(mach V style). These are not approved targets, but catch excellent. I can't quote you a price, but our price was less than...

There is some good course design logic on john houck's web site. Some basic guidlines and some ideas for advanced designers. http://www.houckdesign.com/ As far as ball golf courses requiring too much work to convert them to disc golf....YOUR NUTS!! Most ball golf courses have ALL the...

I am looking for PICTURES of the BEST water holes in disc golf. Our park is in the design phase of expanding the current water retention ponds. This means adding more water features to our course. The city of Olympia and the parks dept. are on board with disc golf and are working with us to come...

4.00 star(s) Disc Golfs Pebble Beach This course has almost every shot a PROFESSIONAL disc golf course should have! Beautiful design bringing shot selection into play on every hole. Risk reward is very cliche' these days, but very relevant here! This course makes "smart" golf your only option! (or lost...

I am in the process of hosting my second fundraiser tourney. I have been hitting up the local businesses for small donations, a couple of the local bars and sandwich shops. I ask for small money donations like t-shirts and gift card for meals. The more prizes you can give away without having to...

3.00 star(s) Yauger is going "permanent" Good shot selection, some very tight anhyser shots and some bigger 400+ holes. There is "winter" water hazards that really come into play, and two all-season water holes. New number plates on baskets, new tee signs make it much easier to find your way around. Concrete...

3.00 star(s) Disc golf only setting. Very good signeage. #1 and #16 would both be in the running for course signature hole. Some good landscaping using downed trees for benches and stairs. Hard working, dedicated crew doing a good job. These people take pride in what they do! Many blind shots, having to walk...

I agree with TRIFOCAL. If you build it, they will come! It may take time in a lesser populated area, but if the course stays maintained and improved, they will find it!

Its not necesarilly the size of it, its how you use it! (I know you've all heard that one before) But really, one of the coolest, 18 hole championship courses in Western WA is on 10 acres. "Dailiwood" in Olala, WA. It's all about how you use the features you have. If you have tight woods you can...

The old OLYMPIA BEER Brewery in Tumwater WA. I drive by this abandon brewery everyday and think about how much fun it would be to have a course IN and around that place! Multiple levels, long tight corridors, wide open roof top shots!! Think Industrial Golf! Until then I've got my mini basket...
