What is McCall Disc Golf Course & Nature Area like?
Located in McCall, McCall Disc Golf Course & Nature Area is part of a Idaho disc golf scene that now runs to 100 registered courses. Across 1,800 ft the course fits 9 holes at par 27, which works out to around 200 feet per hole. That is short enough that a putter and a mid-range will cover most of the round.
The terrain is mountain/wooded — mountain terrain through timber, which puts the emphasis on elevation and commitment. Steep terrain means big elevation drops and punishing misses. Bring more discs than you think you need.
ThrowSpot rates the course forgiving overall, making it a good first course or a relaxed round. Shorter holes and open landing zones mean errant throws are usually recoverable, which is exactly what a newer player needs. Most groups finish in about 45 minutes, though a busy weekend morning can add half an hour of waiting on the tee.
What discs should you bring to McCall Disc Golf Course & Nature Area?
For a course like this, a putter and one or two mid-ranges covers the majority of shots. Leave the high-speed drivers in the car. There is rarely room to use them, and a controlled mid-range will out-score a driver you cannot place.
If you are not sure what matches your arm speed, the disc selector converts your throwing distance into a speed ceiling and specific mold recommendations. It is also worth reading the wind calculator before you play on a breezy day.
