Dry Creek Monroe, NC

Last week we visited our family in Charlotte, NC.  We often try out some of the disc golf courses there when we visit.

This year we discovered a new course in Monroe, NC, which is just a few miles away from where our oldest son lives.  About half of the holes were in wooded areas and half had more open fairways.  It’s called Dry Creek Disc Golf Course. 

I’ve only played the Charlotte courses when we visit around Thanksgiving, so all I know about them is what they are like during the late fall.  There are a LOT of leaves on the ground.  

This year, there was a fairly big rain just before we got there, so the leaves were quite matted down.  Some years, they are all fluffy and crunchy which is fun to walk through, but discs get lost so easily when there is six inches of fallen leaves for them to disappear into.

On one hole, Danny got as close as a person can get to the basket on his drive, without making an ace!  It was great to watch.

I think this is the kind of course we will enjoy playing again the next time we go for a visit.
