Per the Fall 2013 Number 19 issue of discgolfer article titled, "Highest Disc Golf Course in the World", by Paul Francz #3289 PDGA Euro Tour contact.
He lists the current title of highest disc golf course in the world as Torrent Disc Golf course, Leukerbad, Switzerland at 2,350 meters (7,700 feet). Other "alpine" courses he lists (all in Switzerland) are Thyon and Veysonnaz at 2,000 meters (6,600 feet) and Schmitten, Austria at 1,850 meters (6,100 feet).
All courses listed in the article are located in the Alps, but as far as the title "Highest Disc Golf Course in the World", they all fall extremely short of courses in the U.S.
I know of three courses in Utah that all start out at 9,000 ft. plus and end at 7,500 feet plus. Solitude, The Canyons and Brian Head. Brian Head's first teepad is located at 11,000 ft. elevation.
Maybe the article should have been titled, "Highest Disc Golf Course in Europe".
