PG should never go. Talk to anyone at Druid and they will all say that it is still one of the hardest courses in MD.

I think all the Glow play at courses are done by a permit. They don't seem to have a problem getting one at the other nearby courses and I would not expect it to be a problem at Double Rock as long as there is a course controlling source.

I love being able to hit up PG for rounds of glow too. That may not be as easy at Double Rock since it is a dawn til dusk park. I doubt they will grant permission to just anyone.

Well my thought is I would hate to see Pinegrove go, its been there for 30 yeaes, However it does have its share of problems, from erosion and consistant muddy holes as well as a course shared with other use of the nearby fields. Not to mention the consistant upkeep in which so few are willing to take on including myself. Given a choice of a true 18 hole secluded course vs what we have now at PG, I take the 18 at Double Rock. At least you would have the ability to holds tournaments there ... more

BY the way, the New Bowie MD course is having a tournament on June 12 using temporary baskets, they are looking for as many players as possible, see MD Disc golf for details.

I like the sound of that. Does anyone actually own the baskets at Pine Grove? I will try and talk to the guy about setting up a charity event.

Jon Bojarski    June 4, 2011 at 9:47pm

Yea, the person in charge of that Double Rock needs to reach out to the community more. Let's get some donations and do a tourney/ cfr disc to raise money. I may even donate a basked if I get my name on it.

Jason Hairfield    June 4, 2011 at 2:46am

They are all there still. Sorry to alarm anyone. I just talked to someone who said there are plans to move them all to Double Rock. While the thought of another course(a full 18)sounds awesome, i dread the fact of losing what we have at Pine Grove. They have permission to put a course in at Double Rock but will recieve no funding. Thus the removal of said baskets. I guess i could handle losing the 2 alternates if necessary but to think of it all being lost saddens me.

I just played yesterday, all baskets were there! there was rumor to move two of the extra baskets over to Double Rock Park if that course gets built. Other than that nothing has changed on the course except an ocasional basket movement on hole 2/17 & 4/15

Scott H    June 3, 2011 at 2:37pm

They're not there anymore???

Jason Hairfield    June 3, 2011 at 6:32am

Has anybody heard anything about the baskets being taken out of Pine Grove?

Jon Bojarski    April 4, 2011 at 6:16pm

There is only one long tee postion that I know about and no one plays it. (hole 17) Thanks to whom ever got the trash off of the course from that fallen trash can.

Chris Zeruto    March 31, 2011 at 4:56pm

only one set of tees at the grove

Jason Hairfield    March 31, 2011 at 2:32am

I have been marking my Pine Grove scores as long tees. I notice that the norm seems to be short tees being marked. What makes the difference here? I play the 1st basket for the 18th and the alternate back basket for the 10th. Does this make it long tees?

Raymond Beck    February 2, 2011 at 11:40pm

No, Why do you ask?

Raymond Beck    January 25, 2011 at 7:23pm

I was informed as to where some of the pin locations were, I really don't think they would change the course that much, just would make some holes little longer/shorter.

Personally I would like to see the baskets on holes 1 & 10 moved to other locations on the course or donated to another LOCAL course with more property to add additional holes. I think the course layout is as about as well as you can get considering the property they had to work with. Personally I really don' ... more

I am not sure there is a controlling source anymore at Pine Grove. Last I talked with someone who was involved with it wanted to move on from it. Efforts to add tee pads and make improvements were mentioned but I have no idea where that all stands. I have not seen any information posted on the md-discgolf web site about maintenance in a long time. If you would like to see baskets moved or make improvements, I would post over there and see if you can locate a controlling source or make efforts to do it yourself.

I still have that 3rd hole t-sign in my car, I just can't get over there to put it in. working two jobs make it difficult. I will have it done one of these weekends

Raymond Beck    January 18, 2011 at 5:45pm

I talked to someone a while back who was doing a lot of the work at pinetree and there are more pin locations but you would need a metal detector to find them. Not sure who has all the keys to the baskets.

Raymond Beck    December 28, 2010 at 6:40pm

I go to pick up my post hole digger this weekend and see if I can get over there early next week. Problem I have is on weekends I am in the Annapolis area and during the week I don't get home (near Pine Grove) until after Dark. I going to trim back the bush right there at 3's tee as Well. I have a pic of what it looks like on Disc Golf Review Site, See my photos by going to my Social Profile, member name "Radarx" http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/member.php?u=12140

Jason Hairfield    December 28, 2010 at 4:55am

Yes, the marker is still missing from #3. That would be great to get one back in there my man.

Raymond Beck    December 17, 2010 at 5:56pm

Does anyone know if the 3rd hole tee marker is still missing? I actually got a 3rd hole sign & 4x4 if I can just get over there to install it.

Zakk Bailey    December 9, 2010 at 2:17am

Somebody has been busy there for sure. Alot of the course has been cleaned up. The tree off of one looks like somebody trimmed it a little, but it still seems to much in the way IMO, but that is part of the courses charm as well, all those hairy little obstacles.
