Hippodrome

theres a thread on this but its locked. im looking for some info

im not sure if two of the courses are always open, and two are just for tournaments. or if there are always two open and it rotates.

My understanding is that two are always open (Old Glory and Hogback), and the other two only for tournaments.

.....their Facebook page seems to confirm this:

Old Glory starts right outside Killer B's disc golf store (where you pay to play), so I can't imagine it ever being closed.

Hmm. I saw that. I feel like I heard somewhere that there was a rotation.

Oh well. Now I attempt to qualify for collegiate nationals.

 

[DavidSauls]

Change is a constant at the Hippodrome. Who knows what the future holds? But this was the status when I visited last fall, and appears to be the status now.

Nope, no rotation. Just one set for normal people and one set for college kids with no other sports to play. I played hockey when I was in college in WI and season always went until the week AFTER regionals at Highbridge.....

From the website about nationals, it looks Luke the only people ineligible are touring pros.

Thus grad students are eligible with a full course load

Players who have already competed in six NCDGCs are also ineligible.

>> Grad student with three years eligibility left.

We missed you this year Chris. We hope you'll be able to make it next year!

... and UGA may or may not have been why the 6 year rule was put into effect

That part shouldn't be an issue.

Was just there last week and can second the above. I fell in love with both & plan to go back in September.

I did love the gooney golf element of Old Glory. Wide open with man made out of bounds, obstacles and mandos. Hog Back with the woods, and hog back (mounds) that create roll away's, the Grotto, etc.

Check out P.K. while you are close & add to the "flurry" of reviews & IDGC is about 30 mins away.

Had a great time at all the above last week:thmbup:
