On Thursday July 22nd me, my dg buddy, and my gf are packing it all in a small sedan and making a 2500 mile round trip voyage from Houston, TX to Cincinnati, OH and back. I have training for work in Cinci on July 27 and 28, and the idea is to spend 4 days getting there - playing disc golf and seeing a few sights on the way. Since its imperative that I get there on time we will only be playing one or maybe two course a day depending on how many miles we have to cover that day.
With that being said our goal is to hit the top course in each state that we pass through. As a base gauge we are using the ratings on this website but, we are also considering your valued opinion. In some instances, bagging the # 1 course is not going to happen due to shear distances and time constraints so we will improvise with another highly rated course.
I'm really interested in your opinion on the courses we have chosen but also any suggestions as to other course we may have left off. Also any tips on the courses we have chosen such as, the conditions and/or a general idea of how long it takes to play each course. If you have an idea or comment on a non-DG activity along the way, I'd appreciate that too.
Thanks in advance!
Here's our plan so far:
Day 1 – Houston, TX to Jackson, MS
• Lake Bistineau SP (Shreveport, LA)
• Ross Barnett Reservoir: The Rez (Jackson, MS)
Day 2 – Jackson, MS to Bowling Green, KY
• Bud Hill (Memphis, TN)
Day 3 – Bowling Green, KY to Cincinnati, OH
• Holler in the Hills (Brownsville, TN)
Day 4 – Cinci Area
• Idlewild
• Lincoln Ridge Park
Day 5, 6, & 7
• I will be sitting in front of a computer screen for new software training:wall:
• My buddy and gf are planning to play Mt. Airy Forest and spend a day at King's Island
• We'll drive non-stop from Cinci to St. Louis on the evening of Day 7 so we will be passing some great courses in IN and IL but unfortunately, won't have time to stop
Day 8 – St. Louis, MO
• Gateway Arch, Anheuser-Busch Tour
• Sioux Passage
Day 9 – St. Louis, MO – Little Rock, AR
• Horseshoe Canyon Ranch (Jasper, AR)
• (we could head straight for Little Rock here and play the Burns courses)
Day 10 – Little Rock, AR to Houston, TX
