Would anyone here consider a dog park an amenity for a disc golf course? I know dog owners who don't think they're an amenity for dogs.
Not to second guess any of the posters to this thread, I can think of a situation where a dog park, or a playground, or nature trails, or a Korean War tank to climb on (like the one at PKP), WOULD be an amenity to a disc course.
A dad visiting Augusta with his two kids, 16 and 11 years old, and their Irish Setter. Dad wants to play some of the courses in the area, but doesn't want to leave his kids or dog with the EX. What will he do? Pick a 4.5 star course that has nothing for his kids to do, while he throws; so he just drags them around the most awesome course ever, knowing they are not having any fun. Or will he choose a 2.5 star course where his kids will have a playground, a dog park for the pooch, and other things for them to do, yet still be close to Dad.
I think the playground and the dog park will win out every time.
Before the flood of comments come rolling in, YES, the dad is being selfish for wanting to throw disc golf in the first place. Also, this is a totally hypothetical situation, my kids are 28 and 23 and I've only been playing disc golf for a little over two years; but the scenario seems totally possible to me.
