Lincoln Ridge Park - Kentucky

I've been in Kentucky this week and tonight I played with my coworker, Erick, at the Lincoln Ridge Park Disc Golf Course in Independence Kentucky.  This is a beautiful but challenging 24 hole course with just about everything, some wide open holes and some very tight technical holes.  Lots of elevation changes, you have to be careful on some downhill shots or your disc can go 100 feet past the basket.  There are some water hazards but they were pretty easy to avoid.  The course was very clean and well maintained, the grass was freshly mowed. Very easy to find the next hole, good signage, plenty of trash cans and benches on most holes.

The skies were slightly overcast and temperatures were in the upper 70's.  We started play early in the evening and it was just about dark when we finished the 24th hole.  An almost full moon helped us out on the last hole.  Throwing white discs also helped.  I was surprised that the course had so many players that late in the day.  A different crowd than you see in Austin.  Most of the players were young, probably still in high school.  I did not see anyone drinking beer on the course.

We did not keep score but I had at least on birdie, Erick had at least two birdies including one from a very long putt on #22.  Erick has really improved since his first game last year.  No discs lost, no discs found.  The only negative thing about the course was the chainstar baskets.  The were hard to see because they lacked the yellow rim that DISCatcher baskets have.  I would love to play this course several more times!
