2011 St. Louis Open

This will be my first time playing Disc Golf in St. Louis(at least that I can remember) and think I'm only going to have enough time to practice 2 maybe 3 of the courses.  I was wondering if anybody has any recommendations on which courses need to be seen the most.  I have been informed that Endicott and Rock Springs are technical as Creve Coeur and Sioux Passage are just long.

I would definitely check out Endicott and Rock Springs first.  Sioux Passage would be my third choice.  Creve Coeur is long and relatively straightforward, so you can certainly get away with not playing it ahead of time.  If you are only playing 2 courses, I would go to Endicott first and then hit Rock Springs afterwards.  They are about 30 minutes apart from each other.  After you finish at Rock Springs, you would need to make the mandatory stop at Fast Eddies Bon Air for some food and beverage.  This is a notoriously cheap and tasty local establishment - $1 half pound burgers, $1 homemade brats, awesome pork kabobs, big elwoods (steak kabobs), hot chick on a stick (cajun wings), and the coldest beer around (no joke).  I guarantee that Rock Springs DGC gets a lot more play due to the fact that Fast Eddies is right down the hill from it!  If you are going to get 3 courses in, play Endicott, then Sioux Passage and then Rock Springs...and of course STILL make sure to hit Fast Eddies!

 

Thanks for making thr trip and look forward to seeing you this weekend!

Thanks for the info Greg.  Sounds like I have a plan now and Fast Eddies will be on it for sure!
