Has anyone skied on or setup a 4 ball short course? Context of the question is that I found a site that is 45 mins closer to my house than our current course but is only 1500ft long without spending $$$$ to expand it. There is an options to expand it to 1720ft (by cleaning up a low water spot fairly inexpensively) and another option to expand to a max of 1870ft...but to get to 1870 the last 150ft or so would be full excavation.
What would be the min length to have a 4 buoy course? Thoughts a 4 bouy course being better then no course?
