I know this new course in Shelton, WA has been mentioned in other places (Washington Events), but after I finally got up there to play it for the first time yesterday at the Mason County Disc Golf Championships I feel the need to mention it again in its own thread.


It is awesome.

For those who have not heard: the 18 hole layout is in place and has been mostly finalized. There are 2 sets of teepads for each hole (natural, dirt pads for a little while longer), and good signage to get you around. From the Pro (black) tees, there are 2 par 5's and 4 par 4's, 12 par 3's (total par 62)and the designs of the long holes are original (at least in my experience), fair, offer great risk reward / smart placement. For those who have said that par 4's and 5's are the future of disc golf, I say the future is here.

The Mason County Disc Golf Club deserves a ton of praise. This relatively small club sort of came out of nowhere and collectively they have put in a ton of time and thought and it shows. From the labor on the course, to the web site, to the tournys and organization, and the fundraising and community involvement you all are doing it up right.

I say this is definately a destination, championsip level course, especially when the teepads and baskets go in (currently there are wooden poles) though I'm gonna get up there as much as I can regardless.

Oh and if any of the moderators have read this far can we get a new link under the Olympic peninsula courses section? I or the club members would be happy to provide some of the course specs and directions, ect.)
