The township has approved a course (and is purchasing the first 9 baskets!!). Work/volenteering has beenn under way since January.
We are getting very close to having the front 9 completed. Starting with one set of tees (natural/gravel/grass mixed), and have planned alternate tees. Most holes will have alternate basket locations soon as anchors arrive with the baskets.
Front 9 is designed for a Par 31, playing 3,600 feet - with 4 wooded holes, 2 holes that drive over a small pond, and 3 field holes. Nice mix. Also the front 9 is pretty lefty friendly, but you will use every shot/disc in the bag...
The back 9 is rough designed, and is not approved for tree cutting just yet - as the township wants to see it get play before we open more fairways in the woods. The back should play about 3,700-4,000 feet, par 31/32 - all in the woods, with 2 temp field holes between 14 and 15 that can be added for tournaments. The back will also play righty freindly to balance out the course, and play fiar overall.
As south central NJ has only 2 - 18 hole courses, Landis Park and South Vineland - both 40-45 minutes away; this will finally fill a complete VOID of disc golf courses in the area. I moved here a year ago, from Newark DE; and was a key contributor at Iron Hill's construction. Took everything I've learned at Iron, and working on other courses in DE with seasoned designers and brought it here! Think Little Iron Hill, with 2 water holes, and 3 field holes, designed to host tournaments in a year or so when the back 9 gets installed. Total should be 7,500-8,000 ft, par 62/63ish - with 2 temp holes = 20 hole 9,000+ ft, par 71/72
