worst tees, tee signs, and baskets

[discgolferjr]

What are the worst tees, tee signs, and baskets all in one course that you have played at. For me, Burnett Woods. Most signs missing, two baskets gone, and baskets bent.:thmbdown:

[harr0140]

Thats kindof hard to evaluate because even damaged signs on a few holes is better than a course with no signage whatsoever.

I have seen some pretty bad baskets on the courses I have played. I played a course with two missing baskets. I also played a course with the Quest AT baskets with two of them severely damaged and no signage so I am gonna have to go with Duck Pond Rec. Center.

[DaBus85]

I would have to agree I have play Duck Pond Rec and it's the worst place. Some baskets missing so signs at all, you have no idea where to go and the baskets were plastic and ****ty.

[Apothecary]

please include pics of bad signs. :D

Point!

[billnchristy]

Plastic baskets?

[tmahan]

Middletown Park in Maryland had baskets with plastic chains when it first went in. They've been replaced and the course redesigned a couple times since then, it's coming around. It'll be a great course in 5-10 years when the trees they've planted get established.

McLean park in VA near DC has the worst tees I've played, 4' x 4' framed pits filed with wet mulch.

[Midnightbiker]

Plastic baskets?

They were metal, just have not been used in years. Also, the community they were in was not disc golf friendly.

[chalos13]

north lake park in denton tx has baskets that near the top curve in about an inch. i'd have a perfect shot, nail the chains, but it would fall on the rim and fall out because it is slanted. there were several shots that i would have made on one of the innova baskets i see everywhere.

[Lewis]

Poor signage and a few old baskets are what's keeping me from raising my review of Oregon Park in Marietta, GA to 3.5 discs from 3.0. It's my home course and I love it, but I'm holding off for honesty's sake. Good thing is we've got improvements planned. Just got to take it one step at a time.

[optidiscic]

My vote for worse tee sign ever.....this one is hilarious in it's placement on a 273 ft hole.....Poor Jerseyites LOL Freedom Park in NJ.

yeah that hole gets my vote for worst sign placement ( right in front of the tee), that hole looks like a pretty difficult one too, not. lol :doh:

[Mr. Sir]

If your from the KC area there is a nine hole in parkville that runs next to the river. Awesome scenery, mowed grass, trimmed trees. There are no signs at all and no designated tee pads. I guess you just pick your own spot to tee from, not really sure. If they just added some signs or some pads it would be a cool little 9 holer

i concur...thats a helluva bad sign.

im just theorizing here but i think that course designer and the guy who gave the go-ahead for the epic to go into production are one in the same...:doh:

[scarpfish]

The worst tee signs are ones installed by idiot parks departments who don't realize that if you put the tee sign right on the corner of tee pad it sort of makes the teepad next to useless.
:doh:

[bazillion]

I'm gonna have to get some pix to back this up, but over in Frontier Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=882) some of the teepads are (I swear to God I'm not making this up) one foot wide, two feet long, and back up to a concrete block wall.

Other than that, though, it's a pretty crappy course.

[srm_520]

The worst signs, baskets, and tees are when there are none - example Mason Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1523)

I see your point about Mason Park (truly sad to look at), but the last two photos of tee signs go into the "worse than nothing" category. :(

[solomon.trenton]

how about Goodnow Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1318)?

Some of the tees actually do butt up against a wall.

[discgolferjr]

how about Goodnow Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=1318)?

I have to agree. the 1 basket is all tipped over. no effort to clean and mantain the course.

[CwAlbino]

North Valley Park in Inver Grove Heights, MN (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/reviews.php?id=363&page=1&mode=rev#13707)

It was absolutely horrid tees and no signs. One of the pads was a sidewalk, some were just slivers of concrete and cracked. Based on Chuck's last review/update though, it is going to be fixed in the near future.

Another REALLY bad one is Tower Ridges - I in Eau Claire, WI (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/reviews.php?id=1926&page=1&mode=rev#12589)

I may have to put this as worse than North Valley.

What are the worst tees, tee signs, and baskets all in one course that you have played at. For me, Burnett Woods. Most signs missing, two baskets gone, and baskets bent.:thmbdown:

My "most played" course, Eagle County Fairgrounds (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=509) in Eagle, CO.

Tee boxes are either rock filled, rutted dirt or lumpy rubber pads.

There are tee signs at only a handful of holes and are usually inaccurate as the course has changed since they were created.

There are a couple of baskets that are much shorter than regulation, maybe only 6 or so inches between the grass and the catchment area.

If you are playing it for the first time, without a map (which does not exist for the current layout) you will for sure be lost a lot of the time.

BUT, I can't discount it completely. Although it is an awful course, it does have some redeeming qualities.

It's the worst I've played but I'm certain that its far from being considered one of the worst courses in the land.

[Danger]

May be late chiming in in this, but any tee sign in the front right hand corner of the pad is BAD. I slammed my middle finger into a tee sign (hole#1 Chavez Ridge, CA) and thought I broke it. There is still a mark under my fingernail and its been 2 months.

I played Parkville last Aug. and thought it was not too bad. I did find some tee markers after finding people to follow. I do think a few holes could be improved a bit.

LOL I played this course about an hour before I met up with you. Very fuuny situation as a RHBH throw. Not a bad course though, just ignore this one silly flaw.

[solomon.trenton]

you think they would try and fix this...

LOL. I knew it was coming. I knew 1 day after years of therapy that you would have to go back and face your fears and demons and play Cojoe valley YMCA. Dude you must get us some pics of that place. Hell, a hole by hole layout would be sweet. And of course pics of you playing it. I have looked at many courses in the Houston and Dallas areas. I think they both have about 40 plus courses in their surrounding areas. That 1 that Midnight put up early in this thread of that basket is classic. It looks like it might belong in a private trailer park course that has been kept a secret. Dallas also has at least 1 9 holer with at least 5 reviews with a rating of 0 discs, maybe another 1 also. That basket from Baton Rouge looks like it was in contact with a tornado.

[Oregon_Nole]

After reading the reviews(HILARIOUS, btw...), I'm on the edge of my seat to see pics...

[Jodabro]

Just played Osborne Park in Nampa, ID and found there tees boxes to be small( about 3x4) but the one on hole 2 is terrible. They poured in down hill. And not but 10ft back is a level walking path they could have marked with painting a tee box. The hole is only like 255 ft so an extra 10ft would have been good. You get to hole three and all of the sudden they recieved a revelation to strip a tee box on the walking path. This park is new and not used much yet, so I bet in time it will be fixed. I can't stand idiots that put in unlevel tee pads.

I have yet to play on this course but the baskets look...umm...interesting?

all of Leonard Park in N.Y. the course has half the signs missing or demolished, half the baskets are rusting and the tee boxes are small, uneven and have large rocks and roots protruding from them.

[AdamCaudle]

Barber Park in Greensboro,NC has no tee signs and crappy dirt ruts for tees. Baskets are in good shape though. It's still a fun course.

I agree but I still rated that course a 4 regardless of rutted, tees, rusted chains, missing basket,lack of signage and awful navigation....Yeah it's that good in my eyes if it had some upgrades it'd be rated so much higher....sad.

That reminds me of Victor Lord park up in Winder. They litteraly look to be in the same shape. I tell you what though... If any one had played Boone Woods up in Burlington, KY before it was redone recently, can attest to its condition. Short holes, poor signage, and chains dating back to when cavemen thew dino **** as discs.

i cant see that course rated higher than 2.5. in its current condition that is. i mean it was just almost unplayable, 90% of the holes had no signs, it was just tough to have fun when i didnt know where i was going

Victor Lord was rough when someone actually gave a damn about it...I cannot imagine what it looks like now.

It didn't work at a church, probably won't work at a park...(there were several with broken elements)

My favorite was 8, With the lord nothing is impossible.

Whoever wrote that scripture has certainly never played a round there.

Scottish Hills (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/reviews.php?id=1795&page=1&mode=rev#6916) just outside of Raleigh, NC has to have the most dilapidated baskets I've ever seen. Never mind that they were plastic and a few missing.

I gotta agree with Dave. This is the worst course in SoCal

[Dthunderchicken]

I got a kick out of Baca the first time I played it. It has circular tee pads. I carried a compass, a map and a monocular so I could be sure where the pin was. It was a little work but I still had a blast playing it. Fortunately someone has graffitied arrows pointing to most of the pins. That's a big help for a guy who dosen't play the course often.

Shadow Creek Ranch DGC (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/../reviews.php?id=3473&page=1&mode=rev#13817)... check the Course Map (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/../course_files/3473/0881c858.jpg) to see multiple holes that play directly at each other, or over other tee pads, or into other fairways. No tee signs. The course also has concrete tee pads that are too small at 6'x4', some of which point in the wrong direction. And one of the baskets is less than 10' from a playground.

It's like he's just plain given up.

[REDARMY]

gotta give an honorable mention to the tee signs at st. louis's premier 4 courses; jefferson barracks, endicott, sioux passage, and creve coeur.

just a glorified piece of tile with the hole number, par, and distances for the pins etched on.

no navigational aids whatsoever. no mentions of ob's or mandos. basically useless.

[jimbosprint]

Try finding your way around Horsetown in Redding, CA.
-All the plastic tone pole targets had the wrong hole number painted on them. (1 on 18, 17 on 1, etc..)
-Only half the holes had a number spray-painted on a rock at the tee.
-Some of those tee numbers had faded off to become unreadable.
-Only a few pathways were marked toward the next tee. (spraypaint on rocks)

It was like it was intentional to keep non-locals away.
And I hate seeing spray paint when on a hike through the woods. :thmbdown:

[RussMB]

I'd have to nominate Denmark, SC (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=2654&mode=ci) Although, I can't say that the baskets were all that bad, or where the pins were located. The problem arose because the map that I was given didn't have the DG course on it at all. (It shared a ball golf course) most of the teemarkers were pulled up and tossed to the side. I paid 6$ to play here, and I walked off the course because I got tired of trying to figure out where the next teebox was located. The 18 hole Disc Golf course zig zagged across a 9 hole ball golf course. I think what makes it worse, is the fact that it wouldn't be a half bad course, if they actually put some effort into bringing up to a playable level. Which they could do very easily, for practically nothing!

Here is a collage of what the teeboxes looked like, or at least how I found them. Quite a few of the tee markers had been pulled up, like this, and tossed off to the side. It was extremely frustrating!
