The average hole length there is over 650 feet. That doesn't really sound like all that much fun if there's no obstacles, why not just throw in an open field?

The local 9 hole golf course installed baskets and they're running disc and ball golf concurrently. Seems like a pretty cool idea. Anyone else seen this? The guy in the pro shop said some of the old timers were afraid the disc golfers would slow down play for them but I really can't see that happening.
If you're in the area come take a look.

They don't have anything on the website yet but it's $6 for 9 or $10 for 18.
I'm playing early tomorrow so I'll report back and probably post up some pics too.
I have played on ball golf courses quite a few times and the vibe is way cool. It gives you a little more self respect knowing your sport CAN be taken seriously, instead of finding yourself in a situation skipping a hole because children are playing hide-and-seek in the middle of your sporting field.
I'm thinking that a 1476 foot hole would probably be a par 5. IF they put the DG basket close to the green -- a lot of courses don't do that; you could put two decent DG holes on that one hole if you tried, depending on how the terrain is.
