If you go to WI, Wilderness is legit. If you go to MN, skip the Preserve. Play Chain's Edge or literally dozens of other courses before that one/three. That's an interestng list. I haven't heard of quite a few of these courses. Now I have some homework to do. See ya in May :thmbup:

On this list, Cale's place in MN is "Airborn Disc Golf - Timberwolf", while "The Preserve" is the one in PA.

i forgot about that

then it was straight up summer right after that last snow

what a great memory

i think i also hit metal with that red z wasp too

Well then let me be the first. It's a really nice course. But too many ~300 foot hyzers and simply not hard enough from the tips to be world class. Nathan Queen shot 17 down on the 22-hole layout, I believe the first time he played it.

Ultimately a poor man's Maple Hill. Which is fine! But maybe not Top 10.

For me it's near the bottom of the top 10 of NC courses and I helped Jaypo on several work days out there.

Sure did. On the very last hole too. I think I got a 4

True. I did say if you go to MN though

It's in my NC top 10, but I don't like some of the super-tight places we have. Off the top of my head, my favorites in no order are:

Diavolo
Valley
Leigh
East Clayton
Zebulon
Sunset
Keeley
Nevin
Renny
West Meadowbrook

If all these were equidistant from me and never crowded, it would probably be 4th or 5th. But it's really nice!

I've only made it to Deep Creek once, and it's been a while. Should go back.

Rolling Pines is easily my most-overrated course of all time.

I really need to make it a point to try to play more of these! Sugaree has been at the top of my Wish List for years.

I love the Wilkes Co boys but I agree. [emoji2960]

C'mon. We always close for the winter, but will re-open May 1 and probably early April, while the National Collegiate tournament is going on at North Cove. Closing early this year in early August. BJ is another story-extremely restricted access.

Some of the individual holes are cool. But as a property, it's kinda awful. They only had one giant hill to work with, so kudos for what they were able to make. But the whole experience of playing there is suboptimal.

Yeah, at 4.34, it seems a bit high. I didn't write a review, but I'd have given it a 4.

Where do you think it should fall on the spectrum?

3.5. I just can't shake walking up to the fourth tee all hyped and then realizing that I could see the entire rest of the front nine from where I stood. By the time I stood on top of the hill on 11 (I think?), where I could see like 12 baskets, I felt lied to.

I would definitely have Ashe County, Rolling Pines, Rockness Monster, Rock Ridge, Nevin and Hornets Nest would all be higher than Diavolo IMO.

I can understand this. Even though I gave it a 4, I think it's probably the least interesting of the Wilkes courses, just the best maintained.

I have a soft spot for Rolling Pines. The day we played the temperature was in the 90's and humid. The water spigots every few holes were a great way to cool down.
