Disc Golf on Ball Golf Courses (Fly 18?)

I was wondering if anyone knew of a site that listed all of the permanent courses on ball golf courses... I believe their called fly 18 courses? Anyway, was interested to see how many were around. Also wanted to know what they charge for green fees compared to the ball golf on the same course? If anyone has been involved with making one of these courses a reality, please email me.

As a ball golfer, I know there is a lot of courses that don't get the play that others do, because of the costs involved in keeping teepads/fairways/greens in good conditions. As a result, you end up with a golf course that is in average to poor condition for a course. Average to poor condition for a ball golf course, is typically outstanding condition for disc golf. Anyway, we have several courses in the area that are like this. WE could put some killer courses up on them and help them out with traffic. Before I start with any proposals for these courses, I wanted to pick some brains about the concept. I'd love to hear any and all ideas...

I'm from Colorado, and I have to admit that I was a little surprised to pay for disc golf on my vacation to California this year. I understand fees for places like Emerald Isle (first ball-golf course I ever played disc golf on and lost a brand new disc into the "ponds"). Loved it. Morley field, though? Are there any non-fee courses in So-Cal? You guys should visit CO and play some of the best at-altitude courses for free. :)

I've run 4 tourney's on a ball golf course over the last 2 years since playing emerald isle with the great Rhett Stroh. Ball golf courses generally use trees to define the fairways so I used those trees plus the greens as Hazards to create a challenging course that flows with the ball golfers. I like to use the cart path as the tee pads for great tees with little work. (temp course) The course I use is a 7- 11 course 7 par 4s 11 par 3s with one par 4 as a par 5 disc hole and a long par 3 as a par 4 creating a par 63 course. sand traps, and greens ob along with water keeps discs from damaging the greens and creates some great hazards. wish I could get the course to make it permanent. We sell them out of their beer, and help with the slower summer months. They also said they could drum up a lot of publicity for the course, being the first course in AZ to offer disc golf. The 6 grand for baskets is the sticking point not to mention tee signs and other expenses. He would probably do it with cheap baskets, but I think it would be a big negative for pay to play.

Another thing you can do with golf courses is make on or over the paved cart path o.b. on some holes. This can make a lame hole into something quite a bit more challenging. You can do this to force play into the rough or to keep play on the fairway, whichever works for the course design.

Look at www.fly18.com

Was there when the first course was being designed (Titusville, FL)...
It is an inspiration to get disc golf mainstream!

Hey Bren, Don't forget that course down in Ponca City that is on a ball golf course. JTP and I, along with three or four others drove down there three or four years ago to play their tournament. What a great course. There is a pennincula with water on three sides and I believe the water comes in to play on four or five holes. There are elevation changes, huge pine trees and some of the concrete walks are OB which makes some of the holes challenging. Just my two cents. You oughta to get it out. No pay to play either.
