2021 White course changes

0 Comments

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.
