WE HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS AND BEING PART OF OUR MOUNTAIN TOP COMMUNITIES . THIS IS WHY PATRICK AND FLOYD COUNTY, VA HAS ALWAYS BEEN HOME. HIKING THE TRAILS, WALKING ON OUR PROPERTY AND JUST BEING OUTSIDE IS A DELIGHT. FRESH MOUNTAIN AIR AND LOTS OF OPEN SPACES MAKE OUR AREA A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN.
WE’VE BEEN ENJOYING PLAYING DISC GOLF TOGETHER WITH OUR FAMILY AND GRANDKIDS ON OUR FARM – WE PUT UP 9 TEMPORARY BASKETS! BIG FUN! AS WE TOLD OTHER NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS ABOUT OUR BASKETS, SO MANY HAD NO IDEA WHAT DISC GOLF WAS. THERE IS ONLY ONE COURSE NEARBY AT A PRIVATE RESORT. LOTS CAME TO SEE WHAT THIS WAS ALL ABOUT.
WE HAVE THE GOOD FORTUNE OF KNOWING SCOTT SNOW, A FAMILY FRIEND, DISC GOLFER AND OWNER OF STICKS AND STONES DISC GOLF COURSE IN BAILEY, CO. AS WE BEGAN A CONVERSATION WITH HIM, IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT WE HAD A GREAT PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR A MOUNTAIN DISC GOLF COURSE. WE COULD BUILD A COURSE FOR BOTH AMATEURS AND PROFESSIONALS AND INTRODUCE OUR MOUNTAIN TOP COMMUNITIES TO A NEW SPORT. A PLACE FOR FAMILIES TO SPEND TIME AND BE OUTDOORS! AN OPPORTUNITY TO HOST TOURNMENTS AND ATTRACT LOCAL PLAYERS AS WELL AS TRAVELING COMPETITORS AND PROVIDE ECONOMIC BENEFIT FOR PATRICK AND FLOYD COUNTIES.
SCOTT DESIGNED OUR 7722 FEET COURSE WITH 36 HOLES – 18 HOLES WITH TWO TEE BOXES AND TWO BASKETS ON EACH HOLE. WE HAVE BEEN CUTTING TREES, BUILDING TEE BOXES, INSTALLING BASKETS AND EVEN THROWING A DISC OR TWO DURING CONSTRUCTION. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE BUILDING THE COURSE HAS BEEN!
WE HAVE CREATED A CHALLENGING FRONT NINE THROUGH THE WOODS (WATCH OUT FOR THOSE TREES!) AND AN ENJOYABLE BACK NINE (THERE IS THE POND!). WE HAVE WOODLANDS, PASTURE, WATER, ELEVATION CHANGES AND PLENTY OF DISTANCE.
OUR COURSE IS APTLY NAMED BUFFALO MOUNTAIN DISC GOLF COURSE AS WE ARE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE FROM BUFFALO MOUNTAIN NATURAL AREA PRESERVE.
BEST OF ALL WE GET TO SHARE OUR LITTLE PIECE OF BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN HEAVEN WITH OTHERS AND BRING DISC GOLF TO OUR RURAL MOUNTAIN TOP COMMUNITIES.
