Chestnut Ridge Disc Golf Scores

Update Course Information
Course Description:
As reported by Roddy Potter: "This course really cut me down to size. I'd gotten reasonably good at two other Buffalo-area courses (Beaver Island and Joe Davis) and a few others I'd tried, but nothing prepared me for Chestnut Ridge. I throw sidearm and depend on big distance to break par; my drive accuracy is just-OK, but my regular courses are wide-open enough that I can get away with it. Not so here. Chestnut Ridge's 18 holes wind up, down, and across a murderous disc-eating ravine, and the trees are so dense that nothing short of pinpoint accuracy will stave off bogies (or worse). Furthermore, the baskets are frequently located on steep slants near the drop; "go-for-it" putting too frequently becomes "go-get-it" putting, and even a moment's inattentiveness can turn a par-four into a snowman. Hitting par from the blue tees seemed totally unimaginable to me on a few of these holes. I started out driving with my JLS, but after the first half-dozen holes (and more than a few high-speed tree impacts) it seemed pointless to throw anything other than Wasp, Roc, and Comet. Needless to say, my big overstable drivers never came out of the bag. My scorecard was appalling at the end of the round. Still, it was great practice; I played my usual course in the afternoon and shot a personal best, largely due to better discipline in my approaches. Thanks, CR. (One final word of warning: Don't bother throwing Pro-D or DX discs at Chestnut Ridge, as they'll get mulched. High-end plastic is a must here.)" Baskets: Metal Chain Tees: Natural
