Sipapu, New Mexico. Every hole is reachable for a 2 (#14 is a really tough one to get a 2), but trying to string along a round of no 4's is very difficult. And the views are fantastic!

The Long Trout Winery course, north of Reading and west of Allentown, Pennsylvania is one of the best and most fun courses to play that doesn't have a single par 4 or par 5.
The course is set on the property behind the house of Tom and Kim Leibensperger, and the first tee launches from the patio of their house. The course was designed by Skeeter Hoffman, (French Creek) and it plays similar to the South Mountain course in Bethlehem, PA. There are some steep hills, a few rocks, but certainly very narrow fairways. The fairways on the tightest holes are only six or seven feet wide, and as with all new courses, there's a lot of little stuff if you get off the fairway. With a perfect throw, however, you can reach the basket of all the holes, as most are in the 200-300 foot range and the longest is about 350 feet. The first five holes wind their way up through the woods, and hole six plays directly downhill. Holes seven and eight are anhyzers / lefty hyzers that play in an open field, and hole nine throws through a tight gauntlet and then over the koi pond behind the house!
The back nine plays similarly, with the holes tick-tacking their way up the hill until holes 15 and 16 play severely downhill and back to the open. Hole#17 is an instant classic - it's only 200 feet long, but you must throw through a mando of two large trees spaced only about ten feet apart, about halfway to the polehole. The aforementioned polehole hangs from the barn. With the barn wall right behind the basket as a backstop, there's no reason not to go for the ace run. Hole#18 ends with a polehole position perched precariously above the pond, and any ace run that misses will certainly result in "fish food."
Thanks to a lot of hard work, the course has really nice wooden deck teepads, tee signs, and 19 poleholes, with the last playing as a practice basket on the other side of the pond, to be used for putting and for the "porch shot." From the porch of the house, it's a ~200 foot downhill shot over the pond. Though not pictured below, imagine a basket located in the green grass on the other side of the pond just behind and to the left of the two small evergreen trees. It's awesome!

Course owner Tom Leibensperger is an awesomely friendly guy, with a love of the Beatles, science fiction, 60s collectibles, music, disc golf, his family, beer, and of course, wine. Whether you're a lover of fruit wines, sweet berry wines, specialties (try the chocolate wine!) or a simple but deliciously dry Cabernet, you won't want to leave without some.

Morley Field should be on the list. It's a new course every Monday once Snapper's crew moves all the baskets.

I don't know about the course, but you have intrigued me !!! I hope that I will pass that way again, or sometime anyway. The heck with the wine, but lets listen to some Beatles and play disc golf and watch MST3000 and have a couple of brewskis! This guy must be alright!!!!!
