Ace Run High
- Tons of ace run opportunities.
- Great for driving putters & midranges
- Beginner friendly
- One hole has a decent (320'+) length which allows you to air out a driver
- Nice signage on each hole as well as a good info kiosk. Arrows on the baskets point you to the next tee.
- Quick...
^ This. I TD local non-sanctioned monthlies for my club, and this is how we do the payouts for ams. No top placement--no swag. And everyone's cool with that; anybody who isn't moves up to the open division and competes.
But that's what works in my area. Having never run a B or C tier, I don't...

Course is almost as good as the state's bagels!
Notable holes = 1,12,16, 17
Clever use of course design. It's quite obvious that the designers didn't haphazardly place holes here; careful attention to uniqueness, novelty, and challenge is evident on many holes. Not too many of the wooded holes...

Multiple Personalities
Like many 27 hole courses, this can be basically broken down into three 9 hole courses. The first set of nine appeals to beginners and families playing disc golf, as the shots aren't very long or difficult (they play wide open with a few trees here and there).
The middle...

A perfect warm-up to playing 27 at Thompson
The park seems to be well cared for; the course, however, could use some TLC in regards to tees, signage, etc.
Optional mandos are stated on each hole, making the course a little more difficult, I suppose. A small stream comes into play on some of the...

A little bit of everything here!
The name of the game here is variety and the course is well balanced. Steep downhill drives, open bombs, OB's in play, guarded tunnel fairways, wooded S-curves, and water hazards are just some of the features to contend with here. I thought the designer did a...

Love the Willows!
- Great wide open holes that allow power throwers to see how far their discs can go. I like how the 600+ first hole sets the stage for the rest of the course.
- Great water hazards. Throwing over the creek on #6 is particularly fun. Most of the other holes have water in play...
Ward Recreation Area in Ely, NV is on BLM land.
Here's the course.
Here's the proposal that created the course. Perhaps it can serve as a precedent for future BLM courses. (Obviously each BLM area has its own biodiversity, habitat, topography, etc.)
You're absolutely right. I've been an Ace Race TD for four years now, and approximately 20-30% of our annual playing demographic has been people who never played before or individuals who have played fewer than 5 rounds in their life. I can't speak for the entire turnout at Ace Races nationally...

A classic wooded Lehigh Valley treat!
- Overall, this is one of the most peaceful and picturesque wooded courses I've played in awhile. The lush foliage, paths, and all of the rocks make it look like some kind of setting of a fairy tale. I guess the fable here is that you need to throw with...
