As we have seen so many new players playing in that last year, it also became apparent that the White Course is a bit too challenging. The Red Course is a great way to learn the sport and avoid losing discs in the Maple Hill water. Once you start shooting more pars than bogeys, your eyes will naturally start to wander to the White Course. It is the next step in the course progression, but until 2021, it was a really big step.

We are making many changes to the White Course. The White Course is becoming a super size Red Course. It offers more challenges, brings some water into play, but it will now be a relatively basic disc golf course, losing many of the difficult angled shots. All of these changes are being put in place to make the White Course a much easier course for beginners to step up and try.

The complete list of changes is below the picture but before we get to that, we should address concerns of players of the current whites. The White Course and the Blue Course difficulty levels were too similar. For example, if you love the White Course and don't like the changes, perhaps it is time to step up to the Blue Course, which is also changing a little bit. Or, if you loved White Hole 1 over the pond, this is now Blue Hole 1. If you loved White Hole 10's dog leg up the hole, give the new Blue Hole 10 (old Diamond 10) a try to get the same effect.

• Hole 1 - The distance is the same and it minimizes the water, while bringing in just a little bit of that pucker factor. The new tee is back and right about 100 feet from the old tee and it throws to the Red Basket.
• Hole 2 - The pin has been moved up and left making the shot much more getable.
• Hole 6 - The tee has been moved to the Gold tee, removing the most difficult (and ridiculous?) fairway on the property.
• Hole 9 - The tee has been moved to the old Red tee and the pin has been moved up hill. It is now a gut shot up the hill, just don't go to far.
• Hole 10 - The hole now goes to The Castle and is about 50 feet longer than Red. The tee is to the right side of the fairway taking away the RHBH hyzer up the hill creating a new shot for the White Course.

We hope you like the changes and hope they make it easier to step up from the Red Course to the White Course. As always, feedback is appreciated and wanted. It helps us make Maple Hill better and better, which we will always strive to do.

Maple Hill Lost and Found stats:

• We've been open 74 days this year
• Over 2100 discs found and cataloged in 2020
• Over 600 discs returned in 2020
• Over 5000 found disc texts have gone out

We have around 1500 discs in the Maple Hill lost and found at any given time. Since March of this year, we have implemented some new L&F policies.

• All discs with a phone number will be texted that their disc has been found.
• All discs will be held for a minimum of 100 days.
• One week prior to any disc being purged from L&F, we will text again.

This has increased the number of returned discs by over 400%, with over 600 discs being returned in the first three months of the year.


All discs:

• Will have a "Maple Hill Purge" stamp.
• Will have been in our system for at least 100 days.
• Will have been texted, if there is a number on the disc.
• Will be available to the owners if they see the disc and want it.

Lastly, 50% of the funds raised from selling the purged discs will go to the Cutler Place fund. This is a secret project that we are working on. If we can raise $25,000 for the Cutler Place fund by the end of the year, look for some spectacular new tees in 2021!

Note: very limited supply.

Do you want to advertise at Maple Hill, one of the best courses in New England? Well we want to continue to pour money into improving the course and on course sponsorship is one way to make this happen. As soon as we were forced to close due to Covid-19, we had a team meeting and decided to utilize the quiet time to invest in the course and shop. The result is several new tees, a new layout, a redesigned shop, a new tee time system, a better riding mower, and an even more improved lost and found.

More people are playing Maple Hill than ever before. It is time to utilize Maple Hill to advertise your brand and to invest in one of our sport's constantly improving gems. All money from on course advertising will be spent on improving the course. As holes change and/or tee signs get updated, we will put new signs up for sponsorship.
