Here are some pictures of the Disc Golf course in Windflower Park that I am helping install. I post these pictures so we can do a 'before and after' comparison. Click on the pictures to see larger versions. This is the first hole. The basket will be just past the big tree in the middle.
Here is the second hole. The basket will be placed past the tree in the middle. It is also tucked up close to the creek.
Here is the 3rd hole. The basket, again, will be on the other side of the large tree. The first 3 holes each have a tree between the tee and the basket. You'll have to decide how you get around them.
The fourth hole runs along the creek past the trees, then you shoot at a basket on the other side of the creek (to the right). You've got a lot of space to the left. This hole will be trickier when the wind kicks up, which is often. They don't call it Windflower Park for nothing.
Five six and seven - Amen Corner? We'll have to see how they play. Below is five long. The basket will be among the trees at the top of the creek. You'll be able to wail off the tee but the second shot will be a bear...
Here is 5 short. If you enlarge the photo you should see the white marker where the basket will be. It is tucked in among the trees and the photo gives you the impression the basket is closer than it is.
Six long. This requires a right-to-left shot off the tee. If you see the disc land it will be a bad shot.
Six short. When you enlarge the photo you can see the marker for the basket. You'll have the tree to deal with, then the basket which in nestled up tight to the pine trees.
Seven Long. The basket is on the other side of the pine trees in the middle. This will require an accurate tee shot. I think this is the longest hole on the course.
Seven short. You may be able to blast through the trees or come around the sides. Depends what happens off the tee.
Starting with the eighth hole you have several holes the require you deal with the creek. The good thing is, it's shallow and there is no poison ivy. The bad thing is if you go long it's a bogey. The basket on 8 is beyond the tall tree in the middle.
The ninth hole is pretty straight, again with the creek right next to the basket. I don't think the picture gives you the correct idea of the length,
Ten - one of the shorter holes. obviously you'll have to work your way around the tree. You'll want to avoid trowing into the backyard. They have dogs...
Eleven - more trees to deal with. The fenced off portion wont really come into play. You'll have to work your disc to the basket, which is beyond the trees a stretch. When they leaf out this hole will become quite difficult.
The twelfth hole...yep...you want to go straight between these trees and over the creek to the little white flag up by the parking lot. FUN!
There it is. Most all the holes have several ways to play them off the tee. You'll have to work your shots so the better your hyzer (or anhyzer) the better your score. The guys that designed the course really put a lot of thought into each shot. I think you will enjoy it.
