Just started playing disc golf when this course got put in. Good stuff.

Are there 2 tees on #8 (the one next to the baseball field)? I've looked around and can't find a second one with the hole map/sign. I assume I've been playing from the white tee since there's no map right there, kinda out in the open next to the field, close to the big white tennis court sign.

Yeah I was a mechanic, on the Gee-dub 97-2002 and MTG 2002-2005. I am pretty sure it was Hyzer Creek that was being built while we were up there but she had just had our daughter and wasn't looking to go clear trees to play 3 holes.

And now Hyzer Creek has two great tourneys a year and is in the process of installing concrete tees !!!
