I am suprised that no one has mentioned Diamond X. When it comes to epic I am not sure anything else comes close. In the post a cool picture thread cbswinding???? posted some amazing pictures of both Diamond X and Makoshika that made me immediately start planning my next vacation to Montana.

You won't be disappointed.

On planning the Diamond X trip, we needed a place to camp and disc and found Glendive to be the perfect spot. Our jaws dropped when we entered the state park. The course literally tracks through Montana's Badland formations (google map it and check out the satellite view!). When we were there, we had the campground and course to ourselves!

Diamond X is also very picturesque! Wish we would've had one more day there. But in my opinion, Makoshika turned out to be the gem of the trip!

Flip City is an amazing course with some sweet views. A lot of hills with the crazy shots.
I would love to make a trip to Makoshika. That looks like a fun course.

I've only played 22 courses so far \), but the most scenic has to be Coyote Point DGC @ Lake Casitas, home of March Mayhem!

Another course that is scenic is NSRA in Sedro Wooley, WA

Their "art" baskets are a bit weird (I like the creativity though) but the pictures of the North Cascade Mountains are wonderful. Also the course is laid out on an old farm with old barns everywhere and the course is very secluded. Some pics:

Orchard Park in the summertime. A lot of shirtless cuties.

Milo McIver, gets my vote. I dig Stafford Lake, Pier Park, and Lucky Mud, but there is something about playing alongside a full on river that does it for me.

Main Question:
What is the most beautiful/scenic course you have played?

Other Thoughts:
If you wanted to introduce a nondiscer to the game and needed a course that would convey the beauty of the game; what course would you take them to?
This doesn't need to be the most beautiful and most difficult. In fact, I'm more interested in beauty and overall vibe than challenge.
Most people who haven't tried DG, can't understand why those who have are so obsessed. Where would you take the doubters to show them the light?

If you're talking about first-timers, then some of the sierra courses may be a little too challenging...Zephyr Cove has some real elevation changes...a course like Truckee might be a little less intimidating, but still great views of the river, etc...I haven't thrown at Squaw, but from the reviews I've read, it sounds like it could be a challenge even for me...and I love to throw.

A course like Hanging Oaks or Condon Park might be a better choice, so as not to be overbearing to a new player...my mom really liked Shady Oaks, in Sacramento. Not a lot of climbing, etc, she could focus on trying to learn the game, rather then learning to hike...

I'm gonna be a total homer and continue to pimp Nockamixon in PA as the most beautiful of 144 played for me...

Opti, you missed it on your moniker. Nocka-homer would have been much more appropriate.

Beaver ranch in colorado and diamond x in montana, both courses are built on mountains

 

[notBOB]

Beaver Ranch and Winter Park, Co are the most scenic ive played and will be hard to top. as far as the remote area where i live, i would suggest the hour and a half drive to The lodge at pawhuska, ok. cant beat it for oklahoma courses and are some of the most beautiful ive played. the experience at The Lodge is unmatched for any courses on my list.

 

[notBOB]

Water Works in KC i can add to that list as well...

 

[BarkBuster]

Milo McIver for me... Second course I ever played.. I got spoiled early

 

[roadtripstuff]

In no particular order:

Coyote Point @ Lake Casitas
Base Camp Adventure Lodge (Didn't play it, but made it about three miles from the course before we had to turn around, those of you that have been there will understand why the Hyundai didn't quite make it.)
Old City Park

I do love this thread. There are some beautiful courses out there for sure. If everything goes according to plan I should be playing both Flip City and the Ludington courses this weekend.
