Pay to play is the wave of the future, or at least it should be. I frequent 1 P2P course, Hawk's Landing. Love it. And it has everything I would like to see in a course. First off and most important, I only see other disc golfers out there. No picnickers, no dog walkers, no vandals, no drunks, no hikers or folks out taking a stroll. In other words JUST DISC GOLFERS! And such peace of mind only costs $3 a round, or $5 all day.
And here's a list of the advantages besides just disc golfers in no particular order:
-Proper etiquette at all times.
-Scorecards
-Signs
-Fairway distance markers
-Places to sit
-No crowds
-Full service store on the premises
-Knowledgeable, friendly owners
P2P courses are the norm in New England. There are VERY few free courses. The $$ courses are typically $5 a round or $8 to $10 for unlimited play.
Wow, that's steep. I hope they have annual passes or something.
Really? $5 for a round is steep??
And yes, annual passes generally go in the $75-$150 range around here.

As someone who not only frequents pay-to-play courses, but operates one as well, I do have to caution people that the two items I bolded can't always be assumed just because the course is pay-to-play.
