Could we get a course description or something? This place is an utter mystery to most. I am not looking for hole by hole or anything but just an idea of the terrain, overall length...maybe compare to local courses...

by **Lofstrand** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:09 pm

The first rule of Haywood Valley is you don't talk about Haywood Valley.

by **billnchristy** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:31 pm

Does the second rule involve looking at a course map per chance?

by **grease** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:48 pm

The course is at the edge of mountains and is a great mix of long shots and shorter technical shots that are wooded and open. Beautiful land and fun to play. Play it and find out like the people at the inaugural tourney did. I don't think there is a course map and even if there was, it wouldn't give you the true idea of how this course plays.

by **billnchristy** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 1:18 pm

Could one go play it now or is it open for tournies only?

by **grease** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 1:23 pm

it's private property, so tourney or invite play only.

by WC » Sun Apr 10, 2011 12:27 pm

There will be an opportunity to play the course the day before the event May 21. The course will be set up by about 10:00am. There will be doubles May 21 around 5:00pm $15.00 full action. Directions will be posted a few days before the event. This is a private temp course only set up for scheduled events. For the most current info please check back here and also see Haywood Valley disc golf on facebook. Feel free to contact me directly @ 678-429-5736

Directions to the course will be posted at the beginning of next week. The course should be open for play by 11:00am on Sat. 5-21-11.

by **IMPRESARIO** » Wed May 11, 2011 12:53 pm

Is camping an option at the course?

by **grease** » Thu May 12, 2011 9:47 am

I don't know if Wes is allowing camping or not, but there's this sweet motel about 5 miles from the course with a Schlitz sign over the restaurant/bar.

I would like to play in the doubles event that Saturday but I cannot justify driving home and then driving back the next morning. RE: cost of gas and time.

I am looking for someone either to loan me a couch or floorspace who lives in the area, or someone who is willing to split the cost of a hotel room (RE: economy). If someone is willing to split the hotel room with me I do request that they be completely non-smoking and that they refrain from drinking too much. Thanks.

Dang it Greg-Im being serious. Although being a cat lover couldn't hurt.

I really am looking for a place to crash so I don't have a 2-3 hour drive the morning of the tournament. Anyone want to split a hotel room? I am serious about the non-smoking part...but might bend on the drinking part as long as there is not a party in the room at 12am.

I am being serious Greg!

I find that serious snuggle time helps relax my nerves and is crucial to helping make putts the next day...

BTW, do you want to share a hotel room with me?

by **Bhuff** » Fri May 13, 2011 9:19 pm

Yeah its a long drive for me as well, not sure I will make it.

by WC » Sat May 14, 2011 6:50 am

Sorry but camping is not yet available at the course. There is a state park with camping only about 15 min away.

Cell phone service is spotty on the course. I will be at the course starting saturday morning. After sat. morning the best way to reach me will be text messages.

Wes,

What does parking look like?

by WC » Fri May 20, 2011 7:13 pm

Parking is off the road in a field. Nothing to treacherous. When you come in the main gate take an immediate left and the parking lot will be marked with yellow tape. It is also ok to park on the side of the road.

by WC » Fri May 20, 2011 7:23 pm

I will be posting pictures to the Haywood Valley Disc Golf Facebook Page and I hope others will too. Please like the page so you can get the lastest updates on when the course will be available for play!!

Just got back from Haywood Valley - course was worked on all day and is ready to host the Event tomorrow.

Registered Players list: http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/62560

FROM WES:
There are still 17 spots available as of 8 PM.

You must TEXT WES your name PDGA # and Division you wish to play in before 7AM and be on site at the property no later than 8 AM if you are signing up by text from this point forward.

Check-in starts at 8:30AM for those 55 players already registered and ALL CHECK-IN ends at 9:15AM.

RESULTS: http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/62560

I EXACTLY predicted the ratings at the course for all the people asking what the ratings would be for the lowest score and for what course par was as well as the 66 that Bob Braun shot and was curious about. :shock:

Keep in mind for the REC divisions until the ratings come out in JULY, that there isn't enough propagators to calculate unofficial ratings - hopefully as more REC palyers are now becoming PDGA Members and playing more Events, this will not be the case by the end of the year.

by **keith johnson** » Sun May 22, 2011 9:47 pm

Thanks to WES's Dad for all the hard work he put in on the tractor and mower to make the place look nice for the Event, and to the WHOLE Campbell family, for coming out to help out Wes with his Inagural Event. It's just too bad that we didn't keep the nice early week temps, and that 18 more people missed out on one nice course.

Lastly, the players that had the great BBQ and dogs that was ccoking while we played will vouch that it was some outstanding food.

The BBQ people WILL BE returning for the GSSS Event in JULY for those that want to get some more!

It seemed like everyone had a good time, no matter their scores, and the Ace fund was donated to MR. Campbell for all of his work on the beautiful property he owns.

Which one?

by **JeremyO** » Mon May 23, 2011 8:51 am

Thanks to Wes and everyone else who put this together. I had a great time yesterday!

by **keith johnson** » Mon May 23, 2011 11:27 pm

Some stats from the scorecards....

Rec played shorter tees on 2 of the 3 par 4's and on both par 5's (still par 4 and 5 except hole 11 which was a 4 for REC and 5 for other divisions)
On hole 2 scoring spreads followed the same for all divisions with 3-8 (a Par 4 dogleg needing a well placed drive to have a shot at the birdie 3)
12 of the 54 players birdied the hole during the 2 rounds.

Hole 6 a par 5 hole had only 4 players birdie it both rounds and had scores of 4-7 for all divisions

Hole 11 a par 5 (gradual uphill the entire fairway hole that also narrows as it reaches the top) had scores of 4-7 for REC who teed off from a position bypassing the intial tight gap at the start to the hole. The other divisions scored 4-9 on the hole.

Hole 18 (a par 4 hole that finishes in the woods after throwing across a field with some well placed trees) had scores ranging from 3- 6 for all other divisions and 3-7 for the REC division.

Hole 16 is the downhill barely par 4 hole with the view of the mountains in the distance and it was decided to only have one tee with all divisions playing from the same tee as it is too nice a view to not let everyone experience it. There was one 2 by Greg Guttinger in the first round and other scores ranged from 3-6.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the property and course even in the 90 degree heat.

Wes will post sometime in the future with more info.

by **JeremyO** » Tue May 24, 2011 8:06 am

Good info Keith.

I'm amused that I had both the 3 and the 7 on hole 18 in REC...Thankfully not in that order.

by **Gator** » Wed May 25, 2011 8:46 am

As always-
Another top-notch tournament run by Wes Campbell(and family)!! Keith Johnson and Brett Porter are also to be commended.
Thanks Alot for a Great Time Everyone!!

Any idea why there are no round ratings for this tournament on the PDGA site?

by **mrpbody33** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 4:39 pm

The PDGA usually takes down the unofficial ratings several weeks prior to making them official. You will see them again once the next ratings update occurs on July 12th.
