KC - STL Comparison

(1/3) > >>

MedicineMan:
Since I've moved out to STL from KC, I've definitely missed the courses in KC.  As well as the community.

Here are some things that I've noticed:

Forum Activity - Not very active on the STLDG Club forums, unlike here where it always seems hoppin'.

Courses - I think I got spoiled living close to Water Works.  I've enjoyed the courses out here that I've done, but nothing seems to come close to the courses I've played in KC.

Tee Signs - Most of the courses here that I've noticed, only show Hole #, Par, and distance.   No map of pin placements

Next Hole/Tee - After finishing most holes in KC, the next tee pad isn't too far away or there is an indicator of where the next one is.  Seems like I'm spending a lot of time trying to find the next hole out here.  This could be because some of the courses out here are first times for me.

Course Management - I can't complain on this.  All that I've been to have been fairly well kept and mowed.  Litter free.


I haven't had much of a chance to play w/ many people out here, but it always seemed that any course I went to in KC there were people I could join or they could join my group.  I'm always looking for better players than I am so that I can step up my game.  If you know anyone out here, I'd love to get with them and play a round or two.

Note:   The above mentioned are just my observations.

I haven't been to St Louis for disc golf, where would you suggest playing in that area?

Jake has been talking about a par 68 course that gateway just put in (care to elaborate?)....

Review forthcoming after the weekend I hope...

ian:
Every time I go to STL to play I never feel "welcomed." It's a much friendlier atmosphere here in Kansas City. Everyone seems to be more serious and plays for themselves. I haven't had a tourney round out there that I could say was a "fun" card. I just think everyone is a bit more competitive out there.

As for courses, My favorite so far is Jefferson Barracks or Sioux Pass. Endicott is a nice course for a more relaxed round.

That would be Carrollton Park. They just had the first tournament there. I think they have a few reviews on DGCR the last time I checked.
