Dino Hills in Glen Rose, Texas (about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth) has camping on site. And there are TWO courses (one a putt-putt course).

I agree with everything you say here. I disagree with the previous comment that a 1 rating for Idlewild can't get enough down votes. That says (or at least strongly implies) that the rating itself,...

I'm going to disagree. I haven't played Idlewild, so I can't judge whether it's a 1-disc or a 5-disc course. Given that those ratings are subjective, I don't consider a thumbs down even when I...

18 holes at new-to-me Breckenridge course in middle of nowhere Texas. Temp in the lows 70s and threat of rain gave way to sunshine. It was very windy. This site now has a map, plenty of pictures, and...

This is one of my pet peeves. However, I just gave a thumbs up to one because it was informative, and the designer told us up front that he is the designer. We have a local course where the designer...

[QUOTE=DavidSauls;3851821]* If the course is too unfinished, and I don't think the review will be valid in 6 months, I won't review it at all.

The "new" layout at Gateway is in an area that housed some of the original back 9 but not all of it. The map posted here appears to be correct for the current course. The new holes are west of the...

Stopped by today on the way back from playing in Dallas. Eight (I was told nine but I saw eight) holes are in the area that used to be the start of the course. The first four holes are basically the...

I think the best chance of an indoor disc golf course surviving (financially) is if it is paired with an outdoor course. One price gets you access to the entire property. Picture a nice 18-hole...

I played Live Oak this summer; it's much better as a hangout spot than a disc golf destination. The disc golf is solid, but there are definitely WAY better options in Austin. Some buddies rave about...

I started with a 141 on an object course in college in the mid 1980s. Worked fairly well until I turned it over into a street and a car clipped it and made it look more like a taco than a pancake.

This is from the guidelines for reviewing a course:

"Do not review a course unless you have played it recently (ie. within the last 6-12 months)"

Seems like a clear violation.
