Hi there. Newbie player here.
My wife and I cut our teeth on the game at Beatty's Ford Park starting out knowing nothing about what a disc golf course looks like. It's the closest one to the house. It's really short but very tight through the wooded holes. We enjoyed it although I don't think it gets much use from serious players.
Robbins Park was the next one we tried and that is a lot of fun for me except the 16th hole, which I hate only because OB eats me alive! I see that some holes have 2 tee boxes. Will there eventually be a full set of long tees? And while there is plenty of signage, will there be any permanent markers, signage. It appears to be a work in progress but will get a lot of play from me.
We also unknowingly tried Hornets Nest....ooops! I wanted to see the course that had some big tourneys played on it but did not realize they were tearing it apart. There is no marking for the start of the first hole which looks like it was placed in a dump! There was garbage including a lot of glass all down the fairway. We almost left after the first throw. It got better after we got past the temporary holes. I won't be back until they finish whatever it is they are doing.
My wife isn't, nor will she be, a serious player but it's something we can do together since she doesn't hold up play. Any suggestions on a course in the Charlotte area that has more open holes and less wooded ones? And well marked for a new player?
We also travel to the NC mountains often. Any suggestions for a good course in the western part of the state?
