Platak Disc Golf

Integrated into the surrounding Platak Activity Park, this course shows great potential. Visitors can combine a round here with hikes up to the mountain peaks (as well as a variety of other activities) and enjoy refreshments available in the park restaurants. With a mix of open field and tighter forest fairways, the course makes great use of the beautiful landscape. It's layout provides ample challenges for intermediate players and combines a variety of shots snaking beautifully around the property without causing conflict with any of the other activity areas. The course could use some maintenance. Approaching a state of disrepair, some tee signs are missing or illegible (though Platak staff have course maps on hand), some tees are damaged or hard to run up on due to the uneven, rocky forest ground, and hole 18's basket has toppled over from its former place in a now rotten tree stump. Additionally, OB-lines were not always clearly visible from the tee and navigation was only possible with help from the app and the course map. These shortcomings however only slightly dampened my enjoyment of finding and playing at this place. I see potential for a shorter 9-hole family-style layout to ease entry for inexperienced park visitors. Given the course's features, with repairs and upgrades it could reach destination-status.

Well designed. Good layout. Tee pads need some love and better signage between holes.
