We're excited to share that there's been tremendous progress on the course in the short time since we've been "green lit."
Next workday is Sunday May 15. Stay tuned for details!
- Layout finalized. Dennis and Tucker (in conjunction with ACOE) resolved any remaining issues to arrive at a final 18-hole loop. You can see the up-to-date layout on the COURSE INFO tab.
- Ground work underway. The first official workday was April 18 and it was a very successful one. Hole 1 was an impenetrable rats-nest of trees and bushes when we arrived. It was, by far, the densest terrain of the 18 proposed holes and before long it was a fairway. Easy! Hole 2 was next and went much quicker. We neglected to take before/after pictures, but how about THIS fairway preview? ACOE support has been great and they continue to do clearing through volunteer groups between workdays.
- Fundraising off to a strong start. At the time of this writing we've got $2100 pledged from 6 private donors (Bill and Marise Stewart, Devens Disc Golf, Harpoon Brewery, the Metivier family, Tucker and Jill Davis, and the Bailey family) and are roughly halfway to our target. We also applied for a NEFA grant (fingers crossed) and are hosting a fundraising tourney on-site Memorial Day to get us closer to the goal. If you're looking to help out with a hole sponsorship or something smaller check out our CONTRIBUTION page.
- Give-a-Dam-Dubs. Speaking of the tourney, registration is now live! You can help us by a) signing up to play or b) donating a prize for the winning team(s). All entry fees go to course development so we're looking for any cool disc golf schwag we can get! It's going to be a blast and a great opportunity to check out the progress and potential at this outstanding disc golf site.
