Post by NH Guy »

What has been your favorite course to play in our great country by state (just pick one per state)? Or list that course you hope to play some day and the state it is in.

Have fun!

Minnesota has many great course. Highstand park in Wisconssin is epic.
Loved DeLaveaga in Santa Cruz Ca. Got to try my original course where I learned to play, "The Redwood Curtain" Humboldt county, Arcata CA. Nothing like teeing off from a 15 foot diameter stump. Also played Crystal Mtn, in Washington State. Ride the ski lift to the top and play down. Great views of Mt. Rainier.

Hey Kyle,

This is just a fun list that may help some folks to discover other courses in their travels and a chance to point out some courses you and others may have enjoyed.

By no means do you have to list every state.

In regard to Alaska, I have a friend who lives there and they do have some great courses (bear and moose included).

I WILL try that course (God willing) at some point. My youngest brother goes to Humboldt and he plays this course all the time. I can only imagine what it is like.

I am a newbie to this fine sport but I did play this wonderful park course in North Carolina. Not sure if it is a well known course.

Horizon Park, outside of Winston-Salem.

My first course... The Badlands, Denver Colorado. It is like a combination of Buff and Borderland. If you go to Denver, definitely play it.

In Florida, the Gran Canyon near Tampa is one of a kind. Play it before it is sold.

In Mass... BORDERLAND.

In Tennessee, 7 Oaks in Nashville. I'll be playing there tomorrow.

Ekap,

If you are in TN and have to head towards the eastern section of the state Warrior Path State park is a splendid course.

Now I am off to Woods at Beauty Hill for some disc tossing.

7 Oaks in Nashville is a sweet course, but id give the edge to the Smyrna course in TN.
