Multiple pin course layout using one set of tees

What do you prefer in a course?

One layout being longer and more difficult or both layouts being equally as challenging with completely different shots.

The first scenerio the longer course layout would measure 6300' and shorter pins would measure 4800'

The second scenerio both courses would mesure around 5500' and have a mix of long and short holes.

before you get too into theses mind games, remember, moving baskets is a pain in the a#$, and hard work, just my .02c

I fully agree with Matt. This is my only option at this point. In the future there will be multiple tees on all the holes. The baskets are all portable so it is not a big deal to move them around. I am just trying to get a feel for what people would like to see before I start making new signs. During tournament play like at Pyramids both layouts would be played. Thanks for your comments so far.

Hi John-Greg Kurtz +I are definetly playing in the Black Falls Open 2.

Either layout option sounds great to me. You could have A, B, C pin placements, with one set of tee's. Tinicum in Pa is like this. Lots of sleeves in the ground.

Of course the utopia is 2 sets of tee's, 2 sets of pins. Then you have 4 layouts, 64 holes to play, and a ton of options for varieties of play, ie Double Disc Basket.

Newman you need to learn 3rd grade math, 2 cents is either 2c or .02 dollars but not .02c

Go back to 3rd grade your teacher wants to try again

IMO it all depends what type of player you want to attract more of. If you're doing ok with the enthusiast (anyone of us here on NEFA would quallify) but have trouble attracting and/or retaining the casual player or parent/child groups then build something leaning towards "fun" for that group. I have not been to your course but what I've found online looks great for disc golf addicts like us.

Fast forward to the day you have your new tees and new baskets along with the old tees and old baskets: I think it would be a best of both worlds situation if you could set things up so that playing new to new is just as challenging as old to old BUT playing old to new would be a shorter and/or simpler course for the casual/family group.

Basically that would mean the new tee to old basket would be the greatest distance apart and the old tee to new basket would be closest (not that distance must equate to difficulty. This is the course I've been building in my mind on the land I don't have for the past year or so

(All of this assumes you're inter-twining the two courses.)

I hope this is the sort of suggestion you were looking for and I hope to visit your course in the spring.

Just MY II¢.
