What's up with the walkways thru the course? 1st time there in few years and was not expecting to have people walking a bull****ing in the middle of fairways and what have you. Talking about the gravel ones with black fencing...
Walkers now seem to think they are new walking paths and not a disc golf course, the bigger problem is the gravel tearing up your plastic every time it lands in those roads
they are a service road that allows workers to get back at the drains and other parts of the river much easier, which should help the course in the long run. However, they are certainly not walking paths and no one should be using them as such. This is from John who helped with the redesign and how the course is now laid out.
yea thats what i thought and told the inhuman walkers. very disrespectful people out there. overall i really enjoy the way the park looks and plays. very much improved from a few years ago.
If there are paths, people will walk them. I am not sure of any exculsive use agreement John has made with the park, but I would think anybody has the right to any part of the park. A positve interaction is on us golfters. Patience, courtesy and cooperation should be the game of the moment. Disc ... more

I am sure all involved were nothing by ambassadors.
I played river bends all this weekend love it. I say just give a friendly heads up to pedestrians walking the path
yea its a park but so are ones with soccer fields and diamonds but you dont see people randomly walking in those. walkers should be more courteous to the golfers instead of vice versa. Especially since the main path for walking doesnt interfere with the course.
never give the attitude but always gey attitude back when ask them to move or anything.
it's not a path, it's a road. and that road is strictly part of the disc golf course now...so yes, any walkers would be in the wrong area should they be there
this is why P2P and private area courses are our future
Nope, again the burden of courtesy lies with us golfers. You may not like that, but any other take makes you the problem, not the solution. Enough complaints from walkers and the course can get pulled. Road, path, field, sidewalk, it makes no difference. Take a breath, be friendly and simply skip the hole if needed. They have every right to be there, just like golfers.
Not in that area Steve. that isn't their area of the park. they are in fact treading on our territory. we have every right to ask them to vacate a spot, or to not walk down a service road. once they stray from the actual walking path, they become part of the playing field.
disc golfers walking on the roads are ok but just walkers are not ok...makes sense
