Blueberry just tied Flip City!

[PA Frolfer]

Ha, I bet you don't talk to people like that in person. Did I even say anything offensive? Oh, was it because I was making fun of your user name? Well guess what buddy, having the word "frolfer" in your name gave you douche bag status from day one. The word "frolf" is probably the biggest single disgrace to the game of DISCgolf, and you represent it.

I'd be happy to take this to the course. You are definitely way too serious about these ratings. Is it really that big of a deal? You really need to get a life and stop complaining about Flip City. Please explain to me the 40 ratings for Flip City that don't belong? I appreciate being called a douche bag. Thanks for the kind words.

Wow, talk about a biased opinion. I rated both Blueberry and Flip City a 5, and I have no problem with the guys rating. You really need to get a life bud. This is getting way out of hand. It's just a rating. And who cares if he has the word Frolf in his name - he said he shot 66 at Flip so he sounds like a pretty good player.

No joke - biased indeed. Get a life dude. I will make sure to give John Jokinen an email and let him know that your only goal is to rate the Highbridge courses poorly. You are really promoting the sport, dude. I just presented a rating that was "Good" and you freaked out. If you need a bib just let me know....

That's just obsession. Eye of the tiger baby. Poor forgotten about Idlewild. If we are still going to count Idlewild, it's a 4 way race.opcorn:

I for one quit caring about where courses are ranked Idle had its time, I love the fact that the only complaint is that its to hard. It is still the top ranked public course. Gotta love the mass reviews of private courses hopefully it will lead to more of them.

With that being said, I can't wait to play Highbridge hills and give it the ratings I think it deserves. From the pictures themselves I would guess about a 3.5 at best, but hopefully i'm wrong.

And i'll be sure to look out for you on the course PAfrolfer. You shouldn't be very hard to find-

You resemble the guy in the picture as well!!

All the Highrbridge courses I have played are 4s (on my HARD scale) and it makes siense that they would be a 5 is Flip is,

Sorry but you are from MI and probably are getting your panties in a wad because he disagrees and based solely on his Flip review there is nothing wrong.

PA Frolfer r u a PA resident...if so what courses have u played there?

Hasn't reviewed Pickard but giving it a 4-4.5 would probably drop its rating..........which is why I won't rate courses when people get all butt hirt about you rating it lower than others.

Let me clear something up, I have no bias in this. Back when Flip & Idlewild were fighting for the top spot I was rooting for Flip. But that didn't stop me from going to Idlewild and giving it a well deserved 5 star rating. I think my review may have even pushed Idlewild back to #1 for the time being. I personally still feel like Flip City is the better overall course on all aspects though. It doesn't change the fact the both courses deserved the highest of ratings. I've yet to play any other courses that have even had me thinking about giving them a 5 rating. And there are many quality courses in my area that many people have given 5's . I could go along with that HBB if I wanted too but I wouldn't ever stoop to that level.

And believe me people, i'm sleeping comfortable tonight regardless if Flip City rises to first or falls to last. I'm just not gonna keep quit when someone gives a course a rating well below what it deserves. Maybe a 3.5 minimum may have been alright, but anything lower is just shenanigans. I've played enough quality courses to know that a course designed and maintained as well as Flip City is better than your average "good" course.

I rated Idlewild a 4...I expected to get a bunch of grief for that but I didnt. I think the people in Kentucky are too busy playing DG to care about ratings well except for the 5 thumbs down which I'm sure are locals but overall I was afraid to rate it but didnt get nearly as slammed as I thought I would.

 

[Scoot_er]

An average "good course" gets a 3 on my rating and #15 of the 175+ I have played gets a 4 with NONE getting a 5..........Blue Ribbon is probably the course I would rate the highest due to the maintenance and overall quality of the course but it would only get a 4.5

You sound very biased when you say you think Highbridge looks like a 3.5 at best. They aren't my favorites (the original Granite would be top 5) but they are in all in my top 15 for sure. I have played quite a few of the top 10 and even more that are better than some in the top ten so my top 15 courses are all solid designs.

Did you rate any PA courses higher?

I played Morain when it was still new and wasn't too impressed although I have heard it is much better along with Deer Lakes. Tyler is pretty nice though!

A 3 to me is a solid course but nothing special.....4 and above is special. I tend to agree with this post even though I have not played Flip...I do want to get there someday.......but I really have no sympathy my local course is deserving of higher ratings but gets noobed constantly.....I tend to think that FLIP never gets Noobed due to its isolation....seems those courses that require a journey weed out most of the non serious DGERS out there..and seem to get better ratings. They never get slammed by the angry 2 disc wonder who lost his driver and had to play the rest of the round with his putter for instance.

I have 13 rated ahead of Idlewild with 4 PA courses (morraine, nockamixon, jordan, and Deer Lakes, which is my only 5) rated ahead of Idlewild

I loved Idlewild and think its better than most of my other 4s but I didnt think it was as good as the courses I rated 4.5s....I tend to rate subjectively based on challenge,fairness and layout over amenities and I'm sure many scratch their head at my opinion but thats what makes the site so much fun...(Until your home course gets slammed of course LOL)

I don't care what I sound like, its the truth. To me the pictures of Highbridge hurt the courses, for how good the reviews are. It's not going to stop me from playing Highbridge in the next couple years though. Then I will rate it with a non-bias opinion, based on the same scale I use for every course i've played.

And I can't understand half the crap you babble about, learn to put your words together better. Also you get a FAIL for not recording all these supposed courses you've played. If you utilize this website so much, why not properly record all the courses you have played?

Because i would have a million :thmbdown::thmbdown:.....like I said my ratings are .5-1 lower than what most rate the courses and this is because I look at them in a different way.

Why are you basing anything on pictures? The pics from flip aren't that great yet I don't go on assuming a course is no good by just looking at a few pics.

 

[tallpaul]

High bridge pics usually look like rather unmanicured fairways. Not really true. Thumbs down don't really matter Scooter. Eventually, tougher courses will rise to the top; these are truly the better courses. I try to rate both for toughness and amenities; because I realize lots of people here like amenities. I think a great course should be both tough and have amenities. High bridge does a pretty job at both; not to mention the number of good courses there. Charlotte area....I love the courses; but amenities lacking a bit. Course design very strong there though. I would say the same about a bunch of more northern east coast courses....I haven't had a chance to spend much time there in recent years; but if course design has kept pace with the rest of the country (and I imagine it has); mid atlantic had some of the best designs around; 10 years ago.

That's just because tomjulio hasn't gotten up to Highbridge yet. You bet that m'f'er is bringing his camera when he goes!!! :hfive:

Some of those Highbridge photos are mine, and they're probably some of the lower-quality ones. DGCR was lacking in Highbridge photos when I first signed up last year, and shortly after that I was up at Highbridge, so I made a mental note to take lots of pics and contribute to this site. Still waiting for that merit badge...

should be heading up there soon.

Such an interesting thread.

1. PAFrolfer (eeeek) obviously has a negative agenda towards Flip. He gives this away by mentioning at least a few times the same tin hat conspiracy about Flips possible "fake" reviews. Timg settled this birther myth a while back. Just cause a local yokle puts up a three sentence review does not make it fake.

2. A 3 star rating towards Flip is an idiotic rating. Period. But what can one expect out of 80 plus reviews. We all have the right to our own opinion, but there are sometimes when you can clearly state something is dumb and be right...and this is that time.

3. Having "umptine" friends (including tourney level pros) that have played both amazing courses (make that three if we re-include Idlewild) NONE of these courses should EVER rate below a four. EVER.

4. Flip not a tourney course is complete rubbish and shows ignorance towards our great game. Last year the hot tourney round was a -10 for 24 holes. That was by Liz Carr who beat out Geoff Bennett (male pro) for that distinction. -10 for 24 holes, think about it. That's a pro tourney score/challenge. Long distances do not equate to tourney caliber in every case.

5. PA Frolfers review of Highberry also gives away his negative bias towards Flip. The "review" isn't so much a review but a comparison. Save those thoughts for a great thread. I want to see a thread of only players who have PLAYED both courses. Who have played only the top five. THEN show me comparisons. In the review section, just give me the details of the course you are reviewing.

6. This thread...dumb on many levels. Including me wasting all this time putting a few thoughts in a numbers format.

7. This monkey's gone to heaven.

You don't need to write a review to mark a course as "played". So how would you get a million thumbs downs? As of right now, you look to be someone who's never played a course outside of SE Texas. Not that it really matters or anything, but filling out your course list would help your credibility, when talking about course comparisons.
