But disc golf courses are not self sustainable. From our collective, selfish perspective, that is what we might like to see be the priority, but that is not realistic. I think developing the land to provider for a revenue source to support the disc golf is a more feasible business plan.
Getting water, electricity and gas available would likely be an important foundation for any future.
My group comes up annually going on 5 years now. Collectively we give John about $2000 for our weekend stay at the Honka and theres always other groups out there. I think disc golf could generate enough to sustain itself while maintaining the grounds for events such as InfraSound which must bring in serious revenue. This place could be the best disc golf complex in the world. It has spectacular views, elevation changes, and a secluded environment which is refreshing compared to city park courses. Chuck did a spectacular job designing this complex to offer a course for every skill level. Sure you can go camp somewhere else, but campgrounds feel cramped, and you will be monitored closely on state or federal land. A private campground on a disc golf course would be a much better spot to party and cut loose which I think appeals to the disc golf demographic. Did I mention golfing after dark with a cold beverage in hand??? John wants a pity party and will tell you how tough it is out here but I don't buy that garbage. People already come from all over the country to play here even with the turmoil, drama, and lack of maintenance. I got 5+ years in ball golf course maintenance, currently work in tree care/logging, and been hucking golf disc since I was 15. I would love a chance to maintain this place and see it reach its potential whether that is in a leadership position or not.
