Long trip starting in a little over a week.
I already have some courses picked out for part of this, but am looking for some recommendations for a few areas (in blue below). Fast and fun beats challenging on the Interstate travel stops.
So, any suggestions regarding the uncertain parts above, keeping in mind limited time?
- Cedar Rapids Iowa area
- Then, hopefully, to the Philadelphia area
- Next to Albany, NY area
- After that to a lake in central Ontario
- A few days in the Niagara Falls area
- 3 weeks in Oury, Burkina Faso (West Africa)
- Ontario again
- Back to KC via Michigan and Iowa
I already have some courses picked out for part of this, but am looking for some recommendations for a few areas (in blue below). Fast and fun beats challenging on the Interstate travel stops.
- In Cedar Rapids area, which is where I started playing, I hope to play Sugar Bottom, Legion, Jones Park, and Turkey Creek. Maybe catch the new 9 hole course in Mt Vernon. This will likely be partly June 15 and 16, and July 27 or 28.
- June 16: Maybe something as a stop in Indiana off of I-74 or I-70. Milligan Park? Clear Creek Park? New Creations - Living Waters? Englewood MetroPark DGC? Herbert C. Huber Park? New Creations - Living Waters may win because of the lake, and my wife loves the water, but a couple of others look like they'd be faster.
- June 17: Maybe one in the Columbus area, maybe one off the PA Turnpike? Definitely want to try The Black Course in WV.
- June 18 Anson Nixon Park is closest to where we'll be visiting, but I would much rather play one in Delaware. Brandywine Creek State Park and Canby West seem to be the best choices due to travel time.
- June 19 Tyler State Park
- June 20: Joralemon Park near Albany
- June 29 & 30: One course in the Niagara Falls area. We will be at a seminar in Niagara-on-the-Lake in Canada. There seems to be very little on the Canadian side of the border there, but there are a lot on the US side...no idea what to choose at this time.
- July 4-20: Burkina Faso. Not a DGC for possibly a thousand miles. I am bringing a dgNomad target and a few discs. I'll see if I can make my own course.
- July 24 & 25: Back in Toronto, then to the Port Dover area to rest, recover, play Steen Park and/or V.A. Barrie Park, I think.
- July 26 Play something in Michigan on the way through on I-94. Victory Park? Leila Arboretum? Begg Park? Flaherty Park?
