Love Joe Eakes. Unique and VERY hard if you get wild. And I'm always on vacation when I play, so...

The tree at Joe Eakes have the uncommon characteristic of catching as many discs as knocking down. Honestly, if you go into the rough chances are 50/50 or better your disc is caught in a tree.

Totally. I stopped throwing neon yellow discs because a neon yellow disc in a tree on a sunny day is too hard to spot. Can't spend beach time looking for discs.

Revised from my older post:
5. Homer picks: Flip City & Blue Gill... I probably enjoy Flip more (because Blue Gill exposes my weaknesses more)... but I'd put these up against pretty much any other course out there.
4. Iffy Hollers: the views (as well as the disc golf) took my breath away.
3. IDGC Stead Ed: one of the most enjoyable rounds I've ever played.
2. Flyboy: worthy of the run it had at #1
1. Harmony Bends: Spectacular. Best course I've ever played... overloaded my Fun-o-Meter.

Shun the frumious Bandersnatch!
Top 5 I have played,
1. Astubula OH, that course is amazing and well up kept . I only got to play up to hole 14 or 15 before it started heavy rain but I could tell it was a nice course.
2. Wisp Moutain resort, yes they are 2 seperate courses but it had both 1-9 for top and 1-9 amd 10-18 on bottom set of tee pads. It was a well made ski course that was built for a verity of playing styles.
3. Delaware Cape Henlopen State Park. It was fun to play a course that the creator of the modern disc golf basket had made.
4. Higstaid Park in Madison Wisconsin. That course is well thought out and difficult, also cool to play near the town I lived in as a kid from 2-12 from 1991 to end of 2000.
5. A local private home course On edge of town that is not on a single site. The course has homemade baskets to the old Mach III and the modern Mach II specs with the old disc catcher/trap part. He has elevation and a hole that if you miss you have to play from a spot 30 feet straight up to get back to the basket. He no longer mows the course beyond his yard but it is made a tad harder due to the high grass on the flat holes. You turn around to play 1-9 again as 10-18, he did make it so a putting basket a Innova Discatcher sport in his yard can be used as the last hole. He does mark the spot to tee off with a wooden stake and a pink marking ribbon and mows the tee off area once a year in late spring for all bu the tee off in his yard.

In no particular order, with no regard to anything I have said before, just the first 5 things that pop into my head as my favorite places to throw frisbees.
Sugaree
Highbridge
Mont du Lac
BOP
Holler in the Hills
Ozark Mountain
Trail of the Gods
I have to stop typing otherwise I'll hit 50 instead of 5...
A couple of them are extinct so they don't count...

Lemme know what your list looks once you have a few courses under your belt.
I hope Sugaree isn't gone for good - would love an opportunity to play there.

Lost a beauty pink TeeBird there on hole 13. Just disappeared.
Out of the courses I've played that are on this site my 5 favorites:
- Steady Ed, IDGC
- Panther Creek, Morristown, TN
- Evergreen Flyways, Baytown, TX
- Harmon Hills
- Lake Claiborne State Park, Homer, LA
Honorable Mention:
Parc des Familles, Marrero, LA - just too swampy to make me love it
Perkerson Park, Atlanta, GA - wonderful, but too dirty
Solomon Center Disc Golf Course, Loranger, LA - just a temporary course for now, but will be permanent
and then some small not particularly stellar courses that I liked for being "home" courses at one point or another
I guess I'm not as big a fan of Hobbs Farm as some, but I liked that North Georgia Canopy Tours got a lot of love. There are some other great courses I thought about, and ones I played once on a road trip and just loved.

So far:
1) Deer Lakes, Tarentum PA - it kills me to know I lived 15 minutes from this course until I was 14 and didn't discover disc golf until college. Perfect mix of elevation, par 3's 4's and 5's, tight woods, open shots, off the top of hills, water hazards, three teepads, Mach X's, perfect maintenance, etc.
2) Highbridge Hills - Granite Ridge - Highbridge WI - it is such a unique course, lots of different length and par holes, tons of epic elevation, the most picturesque open section of any course ever, playing up and down those beautiful rolling hills. And quite a beatdown, usually I end up blowing up somewhere and end up with a +8 or more, yet I still love it.
3) Highbridge Hills - Blueberry Hill - Highbridge WI - Granite just barely beats this course out, probably cause it is a tad more extreme, but dang Blueberry is a beauty. Love hole 2 over the parking lot onto the terrace - one of the most satisfying long par 3's to park. Love the flow of the course and all the different contrasting holes, with the gorgeous meadow holes, and tighter woods, and all the in between. Some scary water and great risk v reward options.
4) Mont Du Lac - Eagle's Peak Superior WI - I LOVE ski hill disc golf, and EP is the top tier in my experience so far. Well maintained and mowed, extreme ups and downs, huge downhill bombers, dangerous greens, and not easy. Plus it is a great workout.
5) Mont Du Lac - White Cedar - Superior WI - pretty much for the same reasons as Eagle's Peak - but way way more extreme. This course is a bit more rough around the edges but still INSANE and EPIC. The one course that feels just as much like mountain climbing as it does disc golf.
Honorable mentions:
-Moraine State Park - Butler PA - top notch course, just doesn't stick out to me as much as Deer Lakes and I have played it less
-Standing Rocks - Stevens Point WI - 33 holes in a gorgeous forest with lots of elevation change and well manicured fairways. Loved the color coded baskets on the three layouts.
-Rookery Run - Newbold WI - brand new course and it is spectacular, need to give it the good review it deserves here soon.
-Big Eau Pleine County Park - Mosinee WI - another good mix of woods and open golf. The trees are towering here and super cool.
Sandy Point - Lac Du Flambeau WI - It's Sandy Point, just a straight up classic.
