    Review by Taino in course Cranbury Park

    4.50 star(s) Creme de la Creme All of the tees are rubber; no dirt or roots. All of the holes are well marked, with arrows at the baskets pointing the direction towards the next tee. The holes make good use of natural terrain, and the narrow fairways either frustrate you or make you a better player. Play...

    Review by Taino in course Richmond Hill

    3.50 star(s) Very good area course Relatively easy to find; course starts right next to parking lot; pretty good flow; multiple pins that look regularly moved; tees are generally in good shape; sign at each tee showing general layout of pins along with distance; course demands accuracy over power; beautiful...

    Westchester NY: Anyone play in the area?

    Lots of action in Westchester, actually, but not so much at Leonard. Some people play there, but it's a pretty ghetto course. Much better to play at FDR in Yorktown, or Cranbury in Norwalk. Also, many of the people who play in the Northeast don't bother with this board - check out...

    Review by Taino in course Brakewell Steel / Warwick Park

    3.50 star(s) A great venue... but... Excellent facilities: groomed fairways, baskets in great shape, tees sturdy, helpful signs at all tees with distance to baskets, four (!!!!!!) different possible layouts, all concrete tee pads. Very challenging, requiring every shot in your arsenal. Entrance is free...

    Review by Taino in course Joralemon Park DGC

    4.50 star(s) dum de dum de... WOW!! Course is well laid-out, with lots of thought to pin placements. It makes fantastic use of natural features and terrain. It almost feels like this park is built for disc golf, with the tennis court and kid's playground an afterthought. Some of the holes - especially on...

    Review by Taino in course FDR State Park - Old Layout

    4.50 star(s) An excellent course Good signage, tight shots for the first 9 then opens up for the back 9. Really good flow, excellent balance of uphill and downhill shots with natural obstacles. Well-manicured park; you can see where your parking fee goes. There have been changes over the winter - new...

    Review by Taino in course Angelica Park

    2.00 star(s) Fun afternoon Nice, new baskets. Navigation is relatively easy. Decent use of natural terrain, including a babbling stream. Lots of opportunities for people to be in the way. The course was also pretty damp, even after a few days of sun. No signage, aside from the bare minimum (more below)...

    Review by Taino in course Harry Dunham Park

    3.00 star(s) Good beginner course... Easy to find, easy to navigate. Ample parking. Bathroom access. Mostly open, with a few trees involved or easy doglegs to keep you honest. Good for beginners and/or families, nice for advanced players to work on approach and putting. Lots of open field = lots of...

    Review by Taino in course Waveny Park DGC

    3.00 star(s) An excellent start Well laid-out, imaginative, good use of terrain. Requires a variety of finesse shots; only a few holes where you can uncork a huge drive. Free parking, right across the road from the entrance. Three tee options per hole allow for good options. Might be difficult to find...

    Disc Golf Wedding

    You could... ... make any wedding favors out of marker discs, with your names, wedding date, etc. ... have a cake topper made to resemble a basket; most cake decorators worth their salt can come up with something, especially with a picture. Might cost a packet, though, as it's custom...

    Review by Taino in course Wickham Park

    4.00 star(s) Outstanding!! Relatively easy to find, great course layout and generally good flow from hole to hole (a couple exceptions), a couple HUGE holes for big guns, excellent use of terrain, a very wide variety of shots necessary from real finesse to full-on hurl... I'm running out of superlatives...

    Disc Golf Store in Asheville, NC?

    Hi all, Mother-in-law is technologically inept (forget online purchasing:doh:), but wants to get me some discs for Christmas. She lives in Asheville. I'm figuring that there are some stores in Asheville that sell discs, what with 4+ courses in town. Can anyone help a brutha out with some...
