Northgate Park 9-holer in Virginia Beach now has their tee signs installed both pads, and also mando signs. The course itself is complete, with a practice basket placed behind hole 9 basket in an open field, with at least 500 feet of throwing distance. Except for #5 B pin placement, I've now played all the other pin placements on three visits. Very difficult course from #1 tee to #9 basket. Impressive how proficient the local club was able to install the course working with the city.

Finally made up to Newport News Park to check out the new Mach 5 baskets which catch great! Bright orange in color made them easy to see versus the old gray baskets.
If you've played here before seven baskets have been relocated distance, difficulty and needed. Baskets 3, 5, 11, 14-15, and 17-18. 11 the furthest in distance at about 70 feet still in the open. The pictures are my three favorite re-position baskets.
Left- #3 about thirty feet back, just past the fence about 10 feet was the old basket placement. Funny I finally hit the line for the old basket placement and not hit a tree, would have flown over the basket. My orange disc is just before the basket.
Center- #14 basket now just behind those trees, to the right of the trees was the old placement and an easy birdie pickup, not anymore. Both rounds short and long tee caught the trees, orange disc laying on the ground.
Right- #15 at least 60 feet back, the old placement just behind the near tree on the right and what used to be an easy birdie pickup from shorts. To the left short of trees is my purple disc after hitting a tree, managed to drop a 40-foot birdie putt.
