Moving south for the winter. Where to go?

[diskhead]

hello my disc golf friends

im from Wisconsin. Winters here can get pretty brutal. Last year we set records for snowfall. Im looking to avoid some of that this year

Im looking for a nice, comfortable place to call home for 1-3 months located in the heart of a bunch of great DG courses I'd also prefer a bigger city, like 50k - 250k population, but not a huge city like Jacksonville. Somewhere in Georgia or Florida. Texas doesnt sound to bad either. :thmbup:

Any suggestions?

Sounds like Augusta, GA near the IDGC, Hippodrome and local courses.

nailed it

Texas

I was in Georgetown just north of Austin great place for everything 50 courses within 35 miles and the entertainment of Austin is fantastic

Consider moving to San Antonio, Tx.

There are some good courses here.

It's just an hour away from the courses in south Austin.

The cost of living can be less than Austin.

The traffic is better.

yeah i would agree with Augusta.. of course there is Charlotte.. Greenville, SC would work but not a "ton" of course but enough of them in the area to keep you happy that's for sure

Charlotte not good enough? Not warm enough?

 

[sonoray]

DFW-

 

[Cgkdisc]

Charlotte, Austin, San Antonio and DFW population too big for OP.

Nashville, TN area has lots of great courses around, not a terrible drive to any of the other mentioned places for destination DG and has a low cost of living with population high enough to be a big city

 

[keltik]

OP has to understand that down here we don't really have medium sized cities. The few we have generally don't have a lot of dg or have ****ty weather in comparison like Boone or Asheville. They are both wonderful places but they are snowy.

 

[keltik]

Clearwater Florida?

Charlotte not good enough? Not warm enough?

for playing conditions I can handle pretty much any temperature and humidity. Im trying to avoid rain, snow, and constant high winds

 

[diskhead]

rain a couple days a week is okay, but I like my run ups and teepads to be as dry as possible

 

[Colorado Redbeard]

No one suggested Austin, Georgetown is not part of Austin with pop of about 50k but accesses both Austin or DFW within minutes

 

[joshhyzer]

Augusta would definitely fit your criteria. Although, if you're going to be living there, you're probably going to want a city with more flair.

I moved to SW Florida from Michigan in 1999. I have not seen snow since the '98/99 winter. (I have been up north in the winter since leaving it, but was just lucky I guess).

Sarasota is a very nice "mid" sized city, with alot going on, and a few ok disc golf courses.

Ft Myers is coming on strong with a very nice course in Estero now, and a new/better N Ft Myers course + a few other local courses to mix it up a little.

The Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater area has some of the best DG courses with the highest density of area courses in Florida. It might be a little too "big city" for your liking though, and the further south that you go, generally, the better the weather is down here in the wintertime.

Also, there are alot of tournaments coming up, if you are into that kinda thing. I played in 3 last month.

Among the advantages of Augusta, GA, is there are plenty of other courses a day-trip away. Charlotte, and its disc golf riches, are 2 or 2 1/2 hours.
