Not to stir the pot, buuuuuut...
The fact that I live in the Lehigh Valley notwithstanding, even though Tyler State Park is frequently listed on the DGCR top 10 list, Allentown, PA might make a better choice for a few reasons.
1 - Access. Tyler isn't accessible by any major thoroughfare and the roads that lead there can get congested. Allentown is accessible by several major highways and interstates.
2 - Courses. There aren't any other courses that are conveniently located anywhere near Tyler. Allentown has two former PDGA stops located less than 15 minutes apart:
Little Lehigh Parkway
Jordan Creek
If you search the
Course Map for zip code 18018, there are another three 18-hole courses within 20 minutes of the two aforementioned courses. Go out another 30-45 minutes and you've got another half dozen 18-hole courses including the new
Skyline Park,
Nockamixon State Park, and
Tinicum State Park.
3 - Accommodations. I'm fairly certain that there is ample camping in the Lehigh Valley as well as tons of options as far as hotels go. Given its location, Tyler doesn't have a ton of accommodations available. Hell, if you don't mind a screaming baby and an annoying dog (that does not go disc golfing with me), I could make room for a few tents in my back yard
All that being said, I voted for Warwick, NY due to it's more central location. Even though Tyler and Allentown are closer to me, Warwick would be a few hours closer to the New England folks. Regardless, I'd be up for anywhere. Thanks to everyone for getting this ball rolling.
