Yea, I saw this recently too. Was a pretty good setup the day I was there, the guy was pretty cool in the Pro Shop and all the golfers were very friendly. A couple of ladies even waited on me, because they wanted to see me throw.
I noticed too, only because it was on my played list. 9 holes of disc golf on a 9 hole golf course. I went on a weekday when there were very few golfers out there. I think it was the first ball/disc golf course I played and not a bad one.

Finally scored a like new/used DGA Mach lite basket and
eventually/hopefully will play 4 C's 9 hole course again! Stoked.
Fun course. Good memories. :thmbup:

Sounds like the Course is still there just not open to the public, shame but maybe since DGCR the actual course review part of the site is tons more traffic. In fact a local guy I am friends with has made a profile only for the Course Review as he wants to find palaces to play on vacation. He will use the Profile to help him remember what discs to pair down his bag for his smaller one, a Innova Basic for vacations when he is flying for though if not flying he will use his normal bag an original style Dynamic Disc Trooper backpack.
Not exactly on topic but I just noticed that out of the 137 courses I have played 20 are now extinct. That seems like a high number. Anybody else have anything like that?

If some were private courses, they could have asked to be Extinct, asking that comments that say the course is open be deleted.

I have 11 extinct out of 413 played. All but 3 are just old layouts too. Not sure if you're total is high or mine's low.
Please don't come visit us. You're bad luck.
(What am I saying? Half of my all-time favorite courses are closed.)

11 of my 175 played are now Extinct. For the most part they were just bad courses, not too surprising.
On a similar topic, I was looking at my % played by State numbers and noticed that when a course is moved to Extinct, it no longer counts as a course played in that state. In WV, I've played 3 courses, now 2 of them are Extinct, I almost lost that as a State Played! :doh:
14 of my 65 are extinct. I've played a few others that either aren't on here or I've never marked as played, so let's say 14 of 70.

251 courses played
Only 6 are RIP -- four of which were/will be redesigned (waiting on Robert L. Smith in Charlotte). Of the other two, one likely still exists (Whitewater Express in Copperhill, Tenn.), just not to the general public.
Basically, I'm good luck for courses.

30 out of 416, at least 13 of them redesigned. Of the lost courses I miss the Bogus Basin courses in Idaho most of all. Beautiful tough mountain-top courses, removed to build a water park and alpine sled ride. :|

26 courses of my 321 played are RIP, including one of the best I've ever played (Coyote Trace in Louisville, KY). Saw a weird new status, though... River View in Newark, OH was redesigned, and the old reviews (including one of mine) were simply deleted, but the old layout was never RIP'd :\

...well, with 8 numerical responses, the average RIP per Played is 9.5% (with the following range: 2.4%, 2.7%, 6.3%, 7.2%, 8.1%, 13.5%, 14.6%, 21.5%). So, stats guys, have some fun with that!

Looks like 10 out of the 146 played (14.6%). That's higher than I'd have guessed but it looks like 6 of those 10 are redesigns and not full closures so that might explain my hunch.
Since I haven't played them, I'd be totally speculative calling them one of "the best." I simply noticed that fact.
One I have played held Texas States about a dozen years ago ... The Links at Quail Valley.
Neal Dambra, PDGA #200 turned this old bg course into an excellently designed golf course. I am assuming that eventually developers wanted the land, however.
OOps, I take it back. I've played this one: Spinski's Championship. I liked it, but many others despised it.
