Fairfield is the fairest of all fields. Come on out and tickle the chains with your discs.
The marathon station north of the course (on the corner of Fairfield and Long Lake Rd.) used to sell discs. Otherwise, I think there's a place in Antioch that sells discs.

Hope Mort found some discs in the last 3 years..
I'm curious why this isn't split as 2 courses on here? It really should be. They share a lot of holes, but have several holes that are completely different. IMO White and Gold deserve to be 2 courses on the same property with separate ratings, etc

This course kind of blurs the line. Some of the holes are just 2 tees or 2 baskets on the same fairway and some holes are completely separate for white and gold. I'm not sure it should be two courses, but I'm not sure doing it that way would be wrong either.

Completely agree with what The Count said.
It's actually similar to Maple Hill in that regard.
Many holes with multiple tees and multiple pins.
But several holes in the Gold layout play in a completely different section of the property than playing the white layout.
I can't think of a way to list courses like this that isn't somewhat misleading in one way or another.
I like the idea of listing one course, and having a course map that shows the various layout.
Just like the map for Fairfield shows:

This unconventional dual routing came about from a few synergistic factors. I was originally going to add shorter white tees in the back area where gold 10-14 reside. However, I was concerned going back there was too long of a trek for those playing the white layout, especially after work when daylight was limited. There was also a history at this course and didn't want the perception from veteran locals that the big bad out-of-state PDGA designer made "their" layout too tough. Plus, we had extra baskets to do what we did to partially separate the two layouts and retain a few of their old familiar holes on white. Brett liked the idea with the only concern the routing remerging points at holes 12/16 and 17/18. I think the reviews indicate we made a good call, but it was a situational design choice that made sense and not necessarily what you might have done from scratch without those additional factors in play.

It definitely needs to be all on one map. Both parts should show up for any search.
The answer is fractional values when two holes share a tee, fairway, or target. Count the unique tees, targets and fairways and divide by three. So, this is a 28 2/3rds-hole course. (If I counted right.)
