After seeing a post about disc golf by @bozz last week, I looked around on the tinternet and found a course not that far from where I live. I'd always wanted to play disc golf, having always loved frisbee, and just didnt think there were any courses here in Scotland - luckily I was wrong !
I took my daughter and her friend because they have a few days of school this week (they are both 14).
Thats the 'club house' above ! The guy who runs it, Shamus, runs it out of an Iso-container ! He was a really nice guy and showed us the ropes.
The setup was absolutely lovely. Its located in a forest park along with some other outdoor activities. There was a lake with inflatables and wakeboarding. We also saw a squad of people going through the woods on Segways.
There were 3 different courses, with 3 different difficulties. We took the green beginners course and I'm glad to say that we didnt completely embarrass ourselves !
The par for the course was 56, and we got around in 76, 87 and 88 - not too bad for our first go I think. The baskets were all clearly marked, and the forest setting was very tranquil.
It was really cheap as well - only £8 (~$10) each for the whole day - you could go as many times as you liked, and they guy loaned us a disc each in that price. I thought that was really reasonable.
It really was a beautiful day, and the sun was shinning nicely. We spotted quite a large tree down in the woods near a few of the baskets.
There was also some kind of tree-tops activity course in the same area, which made it quite interesting !
Thats my daughter lining up a shot on one of the baskets.
I absolutely loved it. I could have easily gone round atleast twice, but my daughter and her friend were hungry after the first round, so we left site to go eat. But I'd absolutely go back - it was great fun, and such a beautiful location. We also got about 5000 steps under our belt - so nice and helathy too. I will definitely be going back !
Well I never knew we had that up here!
Looks fun, and I think your scores were pretty good, I can see getting close to the basket easy enough, but actually getting it seems hard!

Aye, I was quite surprised there was one so close. And there used to be another just of the Edinburgh by-pass but its closed now.
Getting it into the basket is not too bad when you are close - you just aim for the chains and that takes the energy out of it, so that it just drops in !

That is awesome! I am glad you enjoyed it. I'm sorry you had to pay though. Most of the courses over here are free to play. It's cool that he loan you discs to play with. You can usually find a good variety of stuff on eBay or Amazon. If you are going to be playing more you will definitely want to get your own discs. I played a round of 18 myself yesterday. I finished 18 over which was pretty good considering.
Nice - 18 over sounds pretty good. And yes, I really enjoyed it - I will be going again, it was great fun, and such a lovely location !
