Interesting. Maybe your perspective will change once your disc golf region matures a little bit. Or maybe your metro really does have that much unused land. In MSP I cannot see a way for disc golf construction to keep up with demand. Paging Mr. Kennedy/West?
1. I have a list of at least 55 places that have expressed some interest in adding disc golf. Maybe 40 of those in the Twin Cities. I think about a dozen (2 of mine and 10 others') are coming on line in the next year. Some I thought were dead have been returning to life.
2. Fort Snelling does offer tee times on the weekend. Equal priority with the golfers. They just sent a blast email today about How to Throw a disc golf disc farther, so you might need a tee time this weekend.
3. The $30 per player is not far off from what it would cost to maintain a course that was exclusively disc golf. Actually more.
4. There's plenty of open land, it's just being used for other things. As disc golf moves up the list of desired amenities, more will become available. Even in a sea of concrete like Chicago, think about what will happen when Cook County decides to add disc golf.
