Circular Tee Pads

[#19325]

I have a project that is going to feature circular tee pads. I am heading to Blue Ribbon Pines and playing it mid August. That's too late. The park district i'm working with needs measurements ASAP.

Does anyone have the diameter of hole #20 at BRP?
How about the circle tee pads at Fountain Hills?

Any help would be appreciated.

Brent Baca Memorial in NM uses circular tee pads. I believe they went with 12 feet.

Tees at Fountain Hills are roughly 10' in diameter.

What are your guys thoughts on the 10' & 12' pads? Are the 10 footers big enough for ample run up room?

[dstearns5]

I would go 12'. There isn't a whole lot of run-up room, which sucks when the grass is wet. I have a long stride, and am forced to start off the pad. The tees are already a little slick, but the moisture compounds the issue.

tommy and sue brown, a little six holer up in way north fort worth has circle pads.

about 4 ft in diameter. little baby pads they are.

An important point to consider: while a 12' rectangular pad will only use 20% more material (concrete?) than a 10' rectangular pad of the same width, a 12' circular pad will use 1.44x the amount of material as a 10' circular pad. If your budget is tight, try to keep this in mind. However, if they are consistently too short, it will cost a lot more to rip them out and replace with better pads in a few years than it would cost to get it right out of the gate.

what course are you considering this for? if you say marengo i am punching fred and john in the face

6 hole course in belleville, wi was installed with i believe 8 foot diameter hexagonal teepads, they have plenty of run up space if you start a little off the pad.

It's not Marengo. I can't talk location until all details are finalized.

marengo is fred and johns baby. brett wouldnt be involved in that. plus, its fred its gonna be a trapezoid im sure (hopefully with the big end forward). Brett has his own baby. and im excited to see what it transforms into. that particular park needs it!

BRP #20 must be a 10' or less. i could lie down and reach only a lil ways from the end. im 6'2" so i would guess my reach is around the 8' mark. 10' teepads im sure would be more than enough.

I love circular tee pads...wish they were used more often.

I have not played them but they seem to be the most flexible. You can take many angles and not be affected. It also allows for pins to be easily moved. I've seen courses with multiple pin posions in which standard pads just don't work.

This idea might sound crazy but why don't you just call BRP and ask one of the pro shop guys? They are all cool and love to talk about all things disc. I'm sure they'd help you out. for what it's worth the diameter is probably around 8'

Brett, where is your course going in at?

I cannot give that information out until all details have been finalized. On a side note i'm meeting with that park district again tomorrow.
