Parking Full Time Disc Golf Reviews: About this Blog

This blog is the disc golf component of Parking Full Time, a personal faith-based project that seeks to display the glory of God’s creation by visiting every state park, national park, and national forest in the USA’s contiguous 48 states. I do not, have never, and will never receive any monetary compensation for any work done for or produced by this project. In return for my thousands of hours on the trail and in front of the computer, all I ask is the opportunity to declare to you Jesus the Christ, the Creator and Saviour of this world.

Although Parking Full Time has existed in some form since 2006, this blog was created only in 2021. I am only a casual, recreational disc golf player, and all opinions expressed are my own. While I believe the information contained herein was accurate at the time I wrote the review, I make no guarantee it is accurate now. I receive no compensation for reviewing a course.

To find a disc golf course I have reviewed, you can use archive on the right side of the blog, or use this Google map I have created. Each placemark on the Google map corresponds to a disc golf course I have reviewed, and the placemark contains a link to the full review. Yellow placemarks are the 5-star courses.

A Word About Difficulty Levels

Any measure of a course's difficulty is inherently subjective, so rather than try to eliminate the subjectivity, I have chosen to embrace it by employing a 4-category scheme. The 4 categories, in order of increasing difficulty, are as follows:

Beginner: also known as "putter parks," these courses can be played by anyone with a single disc, even just a putter. Most holes are less than 200 feet long and have minimal obstacles. Skilled and experienced players will find nothing of interest here except maybe to practice their putting. Only the shortest and easiest courses will fit this category.

Recreational: courses for casual play, these courses can be completed by anyone with a couple of discs. Most holes are less than 300 feet long and have only standard obstacles such as trees, shrubs, moderately sloping terrain, mandos, and OB. Beginners can usually get around these courses, although they might get frustrated at times. Skilled and experienced players will have a relaxing round with at most an occasional challenging shot.

Intermediate: courses that require the player to exercise some skill at throwing and maneuvering a disc. These courses have several longer holes and/or several daunting obstacles such as forced water carries or steep terrain. Beginners will likely feel overwhelmed on these courses, while most skilled and experienced players will feel challenged at least at times.

Advanced: courses with many long holes and daunting obstacles. Only the longest and hardest courses will fit this category.

Addendum: realizing that "recreational" describes a very large category of courses, I have divided the recreational category into 3 sub-categories: recreational, low; recreational, medium; and recreational, high. The boundaries between the sub-categories are intentionally vague. The idea conveyed is that "recreational, low" courses are on the "beginner" side of recreational while "recreational, high" courses are on the "intermediate" side of recreational.
