Lost & Found & UDISC

New lost and found database, powered by udisc

The great folks over at UDisc have done it again. The Maple Hill Lost and Found is now a genuine  database and we are quickly getting caught up on disc entry.

New features:
  • Easier disc entry - discs will get entered quicker!
  • Text sent on the day your disc is entered, automatically!
  • Disc returned button (so we will forget to do this less often)
  • Text sent one week before purge date, automatically!
  • Better lookup functions

Also, as part of the Pro Shop renovation, we doubled the number of discs that can be stored in the lost and found. We returned over 2,600 discs in 2020, and over 5,000 discs in 2021. With this new system, we should be able to return even more in 2022. Come and visit Maple Hill - and huck one in the pond for us!

Lots of exciting things are happening at Maple Hill this off season. Here is what you need to know.
  • First Day Dubs - January 1st, 2022 - Stay tuned for details!
  • We will be closed 11/22/21 thru 12/31/21, reopening 1/1/22.
  • We are revamping the pro shop. On January 1, when we reopen with the First Day Dubs event, it will be with a brand new pro shop. Come check it out!
  • We are also insulating the game room upstairs in the Sap House. It will become a great hangout all year round for a great birthday party or your next corporate event.
  • We will also be revamping our L&F system and space in addition to shortening the number of days that we will be holding discs to 60. Over 90% of returned discs are picked up within 60 days and we have run out of space. Something had to give.
  • Lastly, we are installing a new septic and indoor bathrooms. They will be in the scoring shed at the end of hole 18 and should be completed by the Fall of 2022.

2021 White course changes

0 Comments

Read Now
 
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.

Gage Benson compacts the new Hole 1 White tee pad.
  • 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.

SELLING USED DISCS

4 Comments

Read Now
 
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!

tee sign SPONSORSHIP

0 Comments

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.

THE DIAMONDS COURSE

1 Comment

Read Now
 
sponsor a tee sign
The improvements never stop at Maple Hill. Thanks to the love and support we get from all of the players, our desire to make the course better continues to grow. This year we are introducing a new configuration: The DIAMONDS. We hope you, and thousands of your discer friends, get a chance to enjoy the new sparkle at Maple Hill.

According to General Manager Steve Dodge, Diamonds will sit between Blues and Golds in difficulty, and it will also be his favorite layout to play. The smart money would be on some Diamonds specific tournaments in Maple Hill's future.

Diamonds 10, 17 and 18 will have dedicated tees in 2020 while holes 2 and 16 will have unique shots for the Diamonds layout. This means that we will be making five new tee signs, all of which will need a tee sign sponsor. For $10/month, get your name or company logo featured at Maple Hill and help us continue to improve this gem.

Reopening under covid-19

2 Comments

Read Now
 
On May 8th, Maple Hill will be reopening, with restrictions. All customers must reserve a tee time before they play. The Pro Shop will not be open until 5/18 at the earliest. Also, with tee time reservations, we will be able to have your lost and found discs ready for you when you arrive. See complete Covid-19 details below.
Reserve Your Tee Time

TEE TIMES

In an effort to safely open Maple Hill, we are creating the ability to play without entering the Pro Shop while also putting distance between groups.

Starting May 8th, Tee Times will be mandatory. Payment ($8) will be per round.
  1. Tee Times: All groups must reserve tee times online. Tee times are 15 minutes apart. Groups must tee off within ten minutes of their scheduled tee time.
  2. Max group size is five. Groups of two or fewer may have others added to their tee time.
  3. Contactless Play: If you prepay online, you do not need to enter the Pro Shop. Just wave to us and tell us your group/name.
Member only tee times: 6-9AM
Open Play tee times: 9AM-6PM

PROCESS CHANGES

  1. Do NOT use the Money Box. f you opt to pay in person and the Pro Shop is not open, please pay after your round. DO NOT pay via the money box as it would be a single point touched by many people that is tough to keep clean between groups.
  2. Contactless Pay in Pro Shop: We accept Apple Pay, Google Pay and NFC credit cards, all of which can be touchless payment methods.
  3. Pro Shop adjustments: The number of people in the Pro Shop at one time will be limited to a maximum of 8 customers until restrictions are relaxed further. Pro Shop hours will remain the same (Mon-Thur Noon to 5:00, Fri-Sun 9:00 to 5:00).

We are new to the tee time concept, so please let us know of any and all frustrations (or joys) you experience while utilizing this new system. Tee times may currently be booked up to 31 days in advance.

Reserve your tee times today. Anyone that shows up without a tee time and there is an open slot, we will ask them to reserve the spot online and then go play. Once everyone is in the online reservation system, it will be much smoother for everyone, and we can keep our distance as much as we would like.
