Around the populated areas for sure, there's a whole lot of rural land in CA too though. Areas in NorCal like Mendocino and Humboldt have a ton of great land that would make for stellar disc golf. But I think most of the land owners there dedicate their property to more lucrative pursuits. I...

I can't comment on Chicago, but yeah, you would think CA would have more quality courses given how big it is and its diversity of terrain. I've enjoyed most of the courses there, but I haven't been appropriately blown away by the courses that touted as epic. I know it's going to come off as...

Ain't that the damn truth. I don't watch live simply because I don't wish to dedicate the amount of time it takes, and when I first watched, I wasn't impressed with the coverage. It sounds like it's been steadily improving though, and with the new distribution, it should improve more. Seems like...

Well, I just got back from my trip, and Japan as a country is awesome, but sadly, the disc golf is lacking. I did end up going to Showa Kinen, but it was a lot of time on the train and a lot of walking for a very basic course. I brought a mid and a putter, but that was too many discs as it...

If you're on Android, there's an app to block all ads and even skips ads embedded in the content. It's free, but you have to put work into finding and installing it.

Yeah, I've browsed through that link before, but didn't find much. It seems like just about every course that has any reviews is like "good short beginner course, you only need a putter." 😕 I was hoping someone here might have knowledge of a more epic DG course in Japan, but it's looking like I...

Thank you for the suggestions, but I had little to no luck finding info about any of those. I found Tatsumi Seaside Park when looking up Kasai Rinkai, if that's the one you're thinking of. Though more convenient, it looks pretty underwhelming. I'm guessing Showa Kinen is still the best bet.

I wish courses were more proactive with woodchips around trees--especially "signature" trees that define a fairway. Courses deteriorate as their trees die, and I would argue that the constant foot traffic compacting the soil around the trees is doing more damage than the discs hitting them...

I'm finally getting to check off one of the items on my bucket list this year by traveling to Japan, and I'm wondering if anyone has insights on must play courses out there? So far, I've only found a little bit of info in my searches as far as courses go, udisc shows several but most don't have...

Seeing that we're in the same neck of the woods, I took a look at some of your reviews. Your review of Howling Coyote is factually wrong: While not a stellar destination course by any means, and can get pretty soupy in the winter, it's pretty well maintained and is easy to follow (it has a...

I agree with Jeff's suggestions. A couple other thoughts, SeaTac is the best course in the immediate Seattle area, but may be a bit long for a 7 year old (it is flat though at least). The peninsula golf is well worth a trip, especially the ferry ride back towards Seattle to finish out the day...

He was talking about he Epic, which was a disc and could theoretically be bent to make it more over/understable. My recollection of it though was that it went straight to the ground no matter which way you bent it. That is unless you threw it as a thumber.

Awesome, yeah, we've played enough road golf and accept the limitations of our game and bodies to know that gold layouts are not for us if we're trying to get a lot of rounds in. That being said, we're not averse to mixing it up for good holes either though. Which holes on the gold course are...

That's great news! I really didn't want to skip it. Is there anything lost from the experience staying on the gray rather than the gold?

Piggy backing on this thread, my buddy and I are going to be visiting Charlotte in a week or so. Gotten lots of good info from this thread and others and have a shortlist of courses to go off of. I'm wondering about Renny though. Ever since seeing the Clash DVD from years ago, I've wanted to...
