The only Pro Shops I can recall ever having seen were the awesome one at the IDGC and the one at Trophy Lakes. Both are at least a few hours drive from me.

Burlington has a Camp store that I believe has some disc and what not.
I wouldn't mind a disc company coming out with some sort of disc vending machine.Don't imagine it would be too difficult to work up.
So cal courses with ON SITE pro shops (not a gas station down the road):
Morley Field - Pro Shop
HB - Pro Shop
La Mirada - Tennis Pro Shop with discs (DTW is around a mile away)
Sylmar - Pro Shop
El Dorado - Tennis Pro Shop with discs
Lake Casitas - General Store with discs
Sky High - Pro Shop
Van Buuren - Golf Pro Shop with discs
I read Kit Carson has a pro shop, but I didn't see one anywhere.
blockhouse (formerly known as the grange) has one.
Hey guys OP here, just to touch on a few points that you guys have been talking about, places like The Nati Disc Shop are on a free to play course, there is no fee. I do not know how they struck a deal with the city of cincinnati to create the proshop, the workers there are definately not getting paid much. I suppose that they are leasing the building from the city and are just running the pro shop out of the building.
The one major thing that I noticed though is this and I think it's the most important thing about the creation of a pro shop on public courses.
Ever since they put in the pro-shop the course has improved so much more than in the past. Don't get me wrong it was always well maintained but ever since the pro shop went in, they have added benches to almost every tee pad, a brand new sweet putting green, they have renovated all of the teepads it seems and the course in general just looks a lot better and cleaner. Inside the pro-shop, they have a huge jar thats labeled "course renovation fund" and I always chip in and it seems like most fellows do as well because that thing is damn mear always more than half full, not just with change but with cash as well.
Now I dont know if it was the creation of the pro-shop and the money generated from it that has increased the overall quality of the course or if it was just that the city donated money to the park (doesnt seem very likely).
What are your thoughts on this subject? I'm going to go hit a round of 18 in before the rain comes! :thmbup:
