Other Thoughts:
this place was and is built out of love for the frisbee. that simple. its disc golf paradise.
sean and the other people that helped build this course are all frisbee golfers from the late 1980s. before then we all played park frisbee and object golf in our neighborhoods and at the local lakes with all the old hippies.
we played frisbee since we were kids. and we still play today.
and this course, with seans unbelievable determination and dedication, is the result. thanks seanry!
this course is a technical woodsy course where you have to pick a line. each tee is totally different - it could be uphill or downhill and hyzer or anny - theres not really any flat straight shot. maybe the gun range 300' hole is the flattest.
hole 10 is a steep downhill thats alot of fun.
hole 16 has a seasonal creek that is an S pattern so you cross it 3 times and land on a peninsula.
hole 9 and 18 are steep uphills hole 9 is blind its so steep.
its a small course and can be ran with mids and putters, but most people pull out drivers to try to hit some of the lines you need to hit.
usually its punishing if you miss your line. there are several OBs and woods you dont want to get stuck in.
DV is under continual upgrade and more holes are getting carved out TBD / TBA. i promise.
id have to ask sean but i think all the baskets are tournament pdga approved targets now - all the temps and mixed baskets have been upgraded.
DV is in great shape i just played there last weekend. bring water its hot.
DV is in SE oklahoma, about 2hr northeast of DFW. its not a bad drive especially if you stay overnight.
if you are anywhere near rattan OK you need to contact sean and go play this course. its remote, out in the country. its quiet. theres nature. its peaceful and private. theres no multi use jogging trails or park users or loose dogs or cars or traffic or city noise or any of that.
just disc golf.
