Let me start off by saying I like holes that have OB in play whether it's sidewalk, water, or whatever. IMO it adds challenge to the hole and makes you think about your shot and the risk/reward involved. I did not lose any discs in the water on this course so I don't have a grudge against it for eating my favorite disc.
Let me describe a few of the holes I encountered:
To me this seems gimmicky. I understand the designers were using these things as a way to make a course without many obstacles more difficult. But to me it's too close. If you can land 10 feet from the basket and be OB across a sidewalk or OB in water that is just too close IMO. I understand this course isn't meant to be for beginners because there's water in play, but it's not exactly a championship caliber course either.
So am I making a big deal out of nothing or do these holes sound unacceptably close to OB?
Let me describe a few of the holes I encountered:
- about 280 feet slight downhill righty, hyzer shot with water 6 feet to the left of the basket
- about 250 with the basket set in in front of sidewalk that comes to a right angle behind the basket so you've got OB no more than 10 feet left, right and long and there's uphill immediately before the basket
- this one is very short, 200 feet, with a fast moving river 15-20 feet long, but it starts going downhill 5-6 past the basket and no more than 2 and a half feet right of the basket is large dense bushes
