What is your opinion on courses that the city or county cuts just a fairway through the grass not everything?
Not cutting all grass is cheaper for city. As disc golfers we dont pay anything for a course (most courses) except taxes.
Having a cut fairway increases aesthetics.
Tall grass creates a rough disadvantage. Stay with me. In ball golf the rough is longer grass. This slows down club speed taking distance off every club. In disc golf tall grass would interfere with run up taking distance off each shot.
Tall grass makes it easy to loose a disc in plain sight.
Hole 14 at Woodhenge is about 650 feet rolling hills down and falling right. The fairway undulates beautifully. The fairway is cut through the tall grass. I was discussing with a buddy the fact that this looks good, this looks like a ball golf course. If we brought out a ball golfer they would appreciate this hole.
