Nope never ever ever
Being just a recreational player, the driving range does not appeal to me. I rarely do field work to begin with. I have the same issue with field work in disc golf as I did in golf, that being with nothing but open field, every shot that goes far seems like a good shot. Unfortunately, open courses in NC are few and far between. So being able to throw 350-400 (i wish) in an open field does not really help when i have to shape shots through the trees.
I might try a "driving range" ONCE, just to see what it is all about....but doubt seriously that
I would use it regularly..
Who says you can't try to replicate that on the range? It wouldn't be very hard to construct artificial tunnels and other obstacles to practice throwing through/around.
If there was one in Madison I think me and couple of my friends would use it regularly in winter. Probably not in Summer, but in winter when there are no courses here (well, there's Yahara this year), I would pay just to have an actual, clean, snow free tee box to throw off for a while. I would do field work in winter, but it's such a pain when everything is snow, ice, and mud.

While it might not be very difficult to construct obstacles on a range, it takes no effort at all to go to a local course that already has them.
Unless it's between November and May and you live in Madison. Then it takes a 30-40 min drive. Really the more I think about it, the more I think I would use a disc range a lot in winter.
Sonic, if you build this north of Mpls I promise to try it.
South of the river though....no promises.
Hah! To be clear, there is no way I would build this, unless I somehow became independently wealthy and it was attached to my dream 5 star course. And if that were the case I would probably lock the gates Wonka style only to be enjoyed by myself
Champion plastic is $8.25 standard wholesale pricing.How many throws would a champ teebird be worth? I would hope that it would go at least 1000 throws on a flat field without ever hitting a tree. I would guess it would last much longer. Let's say I get each at $7 wholesale (I sure hope I could do better). That means a range stack of 100 costs me $.70 in replacement cost. Every penny over $.70 goes to pay for the other overhead, being mortgage, utility, and payroll. Let's say mortgage and utilities add up to ~$1,500 /month. Payroll is going to run me ~$3,000. Let's add in $500 incidentals to make a nice round $5,000 /mo to work with. Under these worst case scenario figures, I would need 39 stacks sold per day on a 7 days a week model before I start chipping into my capital outlay.
