3pm northtown.

How's the course looking? Concrete Tees? I heard it was tight but maybe not cleared out yet. Anyone know who designed this course?

[Lala]

Course is in but not open. Crushed granite tees per ADA. Course is cleared & tight. Course was designed by a Double R Disc Golf Club colaboration - initiated by PDub & input from numerous members. Hope you enjoy it once it's up & running - just a few more finishing touches & they should set us free on her.

[Gregor]

Can't freakin wait! Is this site the best place to look for an announcement?

[PARKErD]

The park is scheduled to be open on Dec.23th. The course is available to play now.

[lilbigarm]

[seewhere]

take 35 south turn left on howard then turn left on harris ridge go over the bridge and you will see park entrance on the right next to the fenced in dog park.. or you can take 685 then right on howard and right on harris ridge

yep yep, till the pond fill up.

[seewhere]

for your cart yes for now by #8 and #12 you will have some problems.. once the water fills.. creek runs through the whole course. watch out for poison oak..

Thanks to you all who allowed me to join you LATE at NorthTown this afternoon. Great group of guys, Great Course, Great Round.

Am I on the right Thread.........Pease Out...

[lilbigarm]

played northtown this morning. the first pond hole is what a golf shot should look like. this will be a really fun course when i figure out where all the holes are. is the basket by the portacan a practice basket and before you stop laughing is the tee box on three backwards assuming hole one is the long one over the dirt piles?

[seewhere]

yes you are correct on all assumptions..

[lilbigarm]

thanks chris
i actually feel a little less like a goofball.

Wait until the wells are all in place, the first pond hole will be constant level. The course is 80% done I'd say, still some cosmetic work. The park will be open some time after Christmas, but that date could potentially slip. Look to first of the year for everything to be fully open.

want to play sometime this week after work? it would be fun to play with someone who knows the course and it would shorten the round by about two hours.

Bigarm says he might be there too tomorrow!

[lilbigarm]

[Lala]

Posted no alch @ park across creek. We've had no issues with our small coolers & we were even there with Metal Mike, so it's not like we were able to be discrete

Only If I can drink beer during the round.............people keep telling me that drinking beer at Northtown is not allowed??????? C-Ware says there is a sign stating this but its across the creek and there is not one in the NEW parking lot.. PW ????? Have been keeping it on the down low while playing and even was drinking in the parking lot one afternoon when the head lady for the Parks Dept stopped and visited for a few moments, and she did not say it was not allowed........?????????????????????????

[seewhere]

hopefully it wont be an issue but I am seeing more and more beer cans throughout the course. we need to ensure no one is littering!!!

Thats for sure, and i don't think it's our guys & gals.......its other golfers who don't give a hoot in hell about anything and are to lazy to walk a few feet and put them in a garbage can.......................LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But 10/4 on the keep it on the down low out there......

I got to play about 11 holes Saturday. Nice course. Will they be taking out anymore trees from the fairways? I couldn't find any lines on 1 or two spots. Also, can anyone say how many course par 4's and/or 5's there might be?

[lilbigarm]

i was there on saturday tring to chop a several of those trees with my ork and my wildcat.

I think there are still a few trees to be cut - although natural selection often takes care of them (also know as dumbasses vandalizing trees). Course par will be set after final cuts & tweeks. The best I've heard is a 50 - smooth putter throwing mostly over the top.
