I just played a nearby course today for the first time, Leigh Farm Park in Durham, NC.
This course is really two different courses at the same location. There is a rec-level/noob friendly course, and an advanced level course. The rec level course uses many of the same fairways and baskets as the advanced course, but sometimes use one advanced course holes fairway as the fairway for two different rec level holes. If you read some of the reviews, everyone agreed that the layout is very confusing, especially if you are trying follow the noob course. I definitely had some challenges.
That's a shame, because my first impression is that the rec level course might be the best course for learning the game in the area. Unlike many short courses or short holes, the fairways are quite forgiving. You have a fair amount of leeway in hitting a line, but it's not like throwing in an open field. My daughter is coming up for a visit soon, and we have plans to take her disc golfing for the first time. After playing this course, I am seriously considering taking her there instead of Cornwallis Rd Park.
I thought about trying to update the course information here, as I was trying to use the site information to play the course and it wasn't much help. But I run into the issue that ... anything that I put in for the rec course is just going to be confusing to anyone playing the advanced layout.
So, the question is, when is it appropriate to ask that a new "course" be added to the site? I would happily update all the info for the rec course if it was listed as a separate course. Would that be annoying to regular users of the site? Or does it seem like a good idea?
