An update on Ralph Dean Park, the original 9 primarily has stayed the same. Hole 9 basket has been moved from in between the skate park and bathroom facilities. We have added a new 9 that plays away from all of the ballfields and main park activities. These have much more diversity in elevation...

I can't say that I have noticed any more amount of wear on my discs, the baskets are rough from the galvanized dip. We went with these to match the others that were installed in 2007. And from the way they have held up, if these are half as good the Town will be happy. The course is Ralph Dean...

I just wanted a follow up on the previous post from a couple months ago, we now have 15 completed holes!!! Our back 9 plays completely different from the first 9 that was installed in 2007. the original 9 have some rough reviews on here and rightly so, they play very close to little league...

I just wanted to update our progress and thank everyone for their useful input! This page actually helped with the deciding factor on what baskets to purchase. I found on the course review page that the originals were Lightning DB-5 baskets and they were installed in 2007. These baskets have...

If I ever play that way I will look you up, Olorin's review is unfortunately spot on. It has been brought to the Parks and Recs attention and they are fully on on board for starting another 9, away from the rest of the park. and then going back and seeing what can be done with the old 9.

Hello all, I joined and lurked for a little bit and loved all the info provided. I am in a group that really picked up the sport (like many others I am sure) soon after covid struck. We are a group of about 15 has that frequented our local Park Course (Ralph Dean Park) since then. The course was...

Here is an example of a hole concept, 339 feet to the basket all downhill. We are trying to use the land features and not have flat boring holes. I love how you are staring at our surrounding mountains off the tee box (the road is just an access road for park maintenance, it is hardly ever...

If anyone wants to check out the course we now have, it is Ralph Dean Park, Virginia. All you have to do is read the reviews and pictures and you will see why we are trying to do something different. In the parks defense I am sure it was definitely installed as an afterthought and with the...

I will take all these great ideas back with me, thanks for all of the input!

Yeah, the new 9 they have asked us to help with is away from the rest of the park, it is why we are pretty excited about the project. We expressed to them earlier 2020 how dangerous the old 9 holes were and that spawned this project

Yes this is a 9 holes that is for the foreseeable future, we have been asked as a group to help with the planning, they have received some Covid grant money since this is seen as a way to get out and social distance. The original 9 I think was installed maybe ten years ago as a Eagle scout...

Thank you for all the replies and ideas! This is what I was thinking too. We are a small group that started playing on an original 9 they currently have that has been there for years ( I think it was an eagle scout project). But this course runs along a fitness trail and is very close to all the...

Good afternoon, our small town is installing a new 9 hole course at our local park. They are using grants so they are a little limited on funds so this will be a couple year project to finish. Is there a basket that is recommended in the $130 to $150 per range? I know it's a lowball price but...

Hey everyone, just joined the forum I have been throwing for about a month or so. Cruising the forums for any and all tips and found this thread, I work at a Wrangler Distribution center in a small town in Virginia, glad to see so many enjoying these shorts! and Thank You!!
