It's a shame, I used to play there all the time to break the monotony of McGraft Park. I think Ross Park may fill it's void now that they added baskets.

Thats too bad. I live like 40 minutes north of spring lake. I haven't played the course there and now it looks like I never will

I was camping at Hoffmaster over Labor Day, was gonna head over and check this course out... Sucks that it got pulled.

Ahhh yes were the few screw the masses.

I love how almost every picture of someone either carrying a beer or or drinking one. Talk about bias journalism. Still that's retarded that the responsible non park-abusing disc golfers have to pay the price for the choices of a few *******s.

sucks.. I so wanted my first Rycenga ace...

 

[Todd Wiley]

I never had the chance to play this course, such a shame.

That sucks

Having lived in Spring Lake for 2.5 years, I can't say I'm not surprised. The "village" of spring lake was full of douchers, and I can only imagine the majority of the traffic coming TO spring lake to play that course, couldn't have been much better....It's really a shocker that it took this long to get pulled.

Maybe they will put a better course in at some time....

^this.

 

[B3NDER]

I only said maybe, I personally don't care one way or another if they put in another course. I don't plan on visiting S.L. again anytime soon.

 

[apdrvya]

^this also.

 

[DangeRuss]

Come down to Burchfield and play.

 

[apdrvya]

been there, done that...

 

[B3NDER]

Burchfield is one of my all time favorites. Shot one of my best rounds ever there.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Considering the hole distances at this course, I can see why it attracted the beer chugging douchebag crowd.

Gotta love vandalizing drunkards. I don't think the drunks would be able to get this bad at my local courses,we have responsible discers who wouldn't have any part of the asshatery. We have got to police ourselves,and not call authorities(whomever they shall be). If you see this behavior confront the idiots,and don't let them get away with it.

If the locals would've handled this on their own,the city wouldn't have had to take drastic measures.
