I just closed a Course Development/Design project yesterday. I will be designing a course for a retired doctor. He first approached me last August after I did a Disc Golf demo at a Rotary Club in Clayton, GA.
We have visited and talked about a course on his property ever since. After a visit last week, he is now convinced that he wants to play Disc Golf during his morning walks around his property.
How long should a hole be when designing for a 75 year-old retired man?
I'm think everything being no longer than 175-200' with a few in the 80-120' range. Being that the course is primarily for him to play and enjoy some time with his kids and grand kids (who visit once a year and they play where they live) I don't think anything needs to be terribly long.
There will be no tees. The plan is, being the course is going to be his private course, he will just throw from basket to basket.
I've included some pictures from the property...which is 36 acres with three retention ponds and a small creek. Nothing close to the water for obvious reasons.
Thoughts?
