Yes rankings like crime rates, school quality, standard of living, per capita income are bs if you care about any of those things. Who needs that info when deciding where to live. |

But we all know that Charlotte will always be 2nd best, the Queen City, not from the classic definition (largest city in the state that is not the capitol), but because Raleigh has the FIRST, and only, major sports Championship in the state. Stanley Cup - 2006. ![]()

As an outsider who at one point traveled to NC a lot for dg- there is definitely a rivalry.

As someone who has lived in Greensboro all my life, but spent a lot of time in Raleigh and Charlotte, I like it here in the middle better. Less traffic, lower cost of living, cool neighborhoods and still plenty of quality restaurants and night life opportunities. Greensboro proper is **** for disc golf, but is centrally located to hit all the goods in the state.

People who live in Greensboro seem to like it. Cost of living is less. I prefer something a little more vibrant. |

The biggest DG downside of W-S is that you might not be all that close to any course for a home course. It would depend where you live, but Johnson Street in High Point is in the area, and Armfield Civic Center in Pilot Mountain is accessible. I would be glad to have either of these for my home course and would enjoy playing them often. Many people rag on Patriot in Kernersville but I would rate it higher than most have; I like it. I think I could play there regularly, but I may also be minimizing its flaws. Personally, I would get tired of Horizons pretty quickly, and I wouldn't regularly pay to play The Rock at Stonewall. Although there are some top quality courses not too far from Greensboro, the options for a home course to play regularly are much more sparse. But as far as standard of living I think that most would say that Winston-Salem is preferable to Greensboro. I would not live in Greensboro (sorry G'boro folks. No hate mail please.) As others have said repeatedly, if the highest number of high quality dg courses or even just courses is your top criteria then Charlotte is the place to live. I call it DG Mecca for a reason! |

I live in Mint Hill, east side of Charlotte. I routinely travel to Raleigh to visit my daughter at NC state. Nothing wrong with either choice. But if you like mountains more than oceans, Charlotte has a clear advantage. It's a long long drive to Asheville or Boone or even Wilkesboro, from Raleigh. Mint Hill to Raleigh is about 2 hrs and 15 minutes, taking 49 and 64. You will pass great courses on that route! I like Charlotte more. Good luck!
