Beauty Hill Disc Golf

Today was my full day in NH on a quick visit home and my folks and I went to a brand new disc golf course in Barnstead, NH called The Woods at Beauty Hill. The course just opened a few weeks ago and is basically out in the sticks. The course is the brain child of two friends, Lisa (who owns the property) and Blaze, who started off by making a "frisbee golf" course on the hill with hula hoops attached to conduit pipes. At the time, the course was also accompanied by a big hay maze. Wanting to attract more people to the land, they decided to open an 18 hold disc golf course and began construction in January.

The course is wonderful and quintessentially New Hampshire complete with a old barn and even older stone walls meandering off into the woods. It's challenging and mostly in the woods with thoughtfully laid out fairways and different tees for pros and ams. There was even a self serve/honor code ticket booth complete with score cards and a courtesy supply of bug spray. It was a great course in a very friendly place. I'm sure I'll visit it again soon.
