Moore Middle School Makes Montana Look Miniscule! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 27, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This middle school has the room that most high schools only dream about. Behind the school are three full sized soccer fields and a full sized baseball field plus a little extra space over there. On the blacktop area are eight (8) full sized basketball courts and eight (8) tennis/volleyball courts.

So natural, the course designer decided to take advantage of all this space by creating a nine (9) hole disc course of massive proportions. Well, maybe not massive but with six (6) holes over 350', this is huge by middle school standards. I know, I taught middle school Phys Ed for four (4) years and we only had one boy who could throw a frisbee more than about fifty (50) feet.

The course plays completely around these one square mile athletic fields in a counterclockwise direction. Because there are no signs or noticeable tee pads, it's hard to be super accurate with the holes. The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow rims and a small number. With that number and a brilliant analytical mind, I was able to figure out exactly how the course plays.

There are some holes that few middle schoolers could successfully play. # 2 is a 375' annie around the portables. # 5 is 399' back to a basket by the soccer field. 6 & 7 both play along eroding hillside on the street side. It would a pretty horrible drive to clear the fence up on the street level but I have the utmost confidence that some moron middle school could do it.

Cons:

Course is too long for middle school students.

Disc golf would interfere with ball games, soccer, the fitness area and anything else that's going on at the time.

No signs.

No pads?

Not real creative although there isn't much to work with here.

Other Thoughts:

This is just another example of the designer completely missing his target audience. I gotta believe that this course was placed here as a possible P.E. activity and maybe for after school club or intramural program. But why design a course so overwhelming difficult that few students could ever have any success? Or is this one of those projects where some teacher saw the chance to build a course to his specifications and basically snowballed the administration on the project?

Great practice location 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 26, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

No one was around and with the size of the field you could create your own safari holes of various distances. The baskets were new and the grass was cut nice. Lots of trash cans around

Cons:

No specific layout for the holes. I did not see restrooms available for public use. Drinking fountains were by the classrooms

Other Thoughts:

If I lived closer I would use this course as a practice location. I love that it's on a middle school campus and I'd love to see a junior tournament or clinic at this location
