Chicago to Dayton/Cincinnati

[weeman]

Between Cincy and Dayton there's a few hidden gems. Miami University has a great course in Oxford, OH that flows well through the campus. Good mix of long/short holes that are moderately wooded with a fair amount of elevation. About 20 miles from there is Monroe Community, a 24-hole course that stays mostly wooded. Its a short course but fun to go through a few times if you're there.

I played the new layout at Boone once but heard things have changed a little, so I'm not sure what the front nine is like now....or the back nine.

The best thing about your list is I live in the middle of it, and you're not playing all the top courses in this area.

They have added tee signs, etc and they have changed it quite a bit. Let me know I live 2 miles from there! Boone even though it's not that hard I actually think is a pretty fun course. I've played two rounds there in under 1 hr.

The front nine they have changed a few holes so they don't go in the subdivision in the back, and have also tucked number 3 basket farther up behind some trees. Hole 6 is now pretty much 300 feet and straight ahead. The back nince they have changed up allot, as hole 12 is now further back and 13 across the ditch is moved forward and out of that wood line. 17 is moved up which sucks as it's way to easy now but had to change it as they are widening that irrigation. They have trimmed allot of places and added two really nice bridges.

What am I missing?

Think he means Idlewild, Lincoln Ridge, Mt Airey.

Mashnut, try the Surge Disc Golf Course http://www.cincinnatidiscgolf.com/Co...natiState.aspx

It's actually a really nice 9 holer even though it will prolly take longer to figure out where the tees are than actually playing the thing. http://www.cincinnatidiscgolf.com/Po...cincystate.jpg it's actually allot of fun and nice 9 holer, change of pace. If you've already played Idlewild, Lincoln, and Airey then you can try that it's fun but not really all tht challenging

Mt Airy and Lincoln Ridge, but I think you said you played those before...?

Also, I'd play Arthur O Fisher in Dayton instead of Kettering (Indian Riffle). It's close to Sycamore Trails which is already on your list.

[mashnut]

Added Arthur O Fisher and Surge, I'm skipping Lincoln Ridge and Mt. Airy as much as I enjoyed playing them to get some new courses in. We do want to play Idlewild, it's one of our absolute favorites and we thought it would be an interesting barometer of how far we've come in the last couple years.

Well, we ended up having a beautiful weekend, perfect warm sunny days for discing, and nice cool nights for camping. Didn't play quite as much as we planned, check out my road trips tab to see what we ended up getting to, 18 new courses in 3 days.
