... at least I thought they were concrete covered with turf. Certainly seemed as solid, although it's hard to know specifically what's going on beneath the outer turf layer.Equipment: Excellent. Concrete tees with artificial turf drain well and provide great footing.
The only DG Park course I've played was Langley Pond in SC: I recall them being among some of the best tees I've ever played on.
From my review:

Sorry I don't have more. I was paying attention to the course a whole, not just that singular aspect of the course.

I would love to try these! A properly installed astroturf pad is by far my favorite surface to tee from. It has great grip in all conditions, even in the rain. The only down side I can think of is winter time you can't just shovel them clear like you can with concrete pads, but that's fine.

If you slip on those teepads due to moisture they may not have been installed correctly. There's supposed to be sand within the turf to contain it.Ive only played one course with the DGP turf tees and yes they are an upgrade from normal turf tees but I still found myself slipping on the tees. I played on them in early morning in the summer so the tees were dew covered. I slipped slightly on the first few tees and then after that I had to basicially a style of golf that I only have to play in the winter so that I did not slip. I am probably one of the few who does not like these.
I've actually played off them here:

This was the first DiscGolfPark course in the US. I thought those teepads were great to throw off of, maybe better than concrete, at least when dry. I've no experience with them on a wet day. As ToddL said, there's sand sprinkled on top of the turf.
