Hi, Christopher. I've only played the course once and can't recall-how cart friendly would you describe it? Don't mind some hills, but don't like to carry it over obstacles. Thanks

Hey, I'm new and that might be obvious, but I wanted to share. I know of 5 people who were pretty excited for this. $30 is high for us (none of us have ever done a tournament... this is our local course and figured we'd make a day of it), but I had convinced them it was worth it because they'll get some fun stuff. The $10 penalty for not being PDGA though has pushed at least 3 of them out (two women, one 60+), while I and another guy are on the fence. That's a lot for people ... more

That's a lot for people just trying to come out and enjoy the day and see what a disc golf event is like.

Maybe there's nothing that can be done and maybe that's cheaper than other tournaments, but for us very casual local players it's too steep.

Thanks for hosting, it is a great course! Hopefully I can figure out to make it work, regardless, I hope you have a great event.
