I was able to bag #100 yesterday!

After much deliberation (and Google Map'ing just how far it is to Idlewild, haha) I settled on Whiskey Hills DGC https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=7075. Shout out to wolfhaley and the other reviewers who have recommended this one over the last few years. This course is severely underrated! It's about a 4.25 in my book with room for improvement, and a must-play for any travelers who have time after getting their fill at Flip City (about a 1/2 hour drive away). I'm going to be uploading some new photos of the place. And reviewing, of course.

Thanks for all the support! It took me just under two years to reach 100. Will probably be a little bit longer than two more years before I hit 200, haha. Some of my course bagging goals for #101-200:
- Play two more courses from DGCR top 10 (I have currently played two of them)
- Reach 10 states played (currently at four)
- Play all remaining courses in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (I'm about 2/3 played currently, at last check)
- Play all courses in Ludington, MI area (about half played currently)
and of course, the closest ones left that I can find

Hit Course #250 on Friday at Treasure Cove in Council Bluffs, IA. https://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=835

225 of those in Iowa. Up to 4th in Iowa Course baggers. Hope to snag #3 before the year is out.

First off, congrats on hitting 100

Secondly, I appreciate the shout out. This is why I write reviews. The fact that I could help even one person puts a smile on my face. Had you not read my review, you might've missed this hidden gem. Kind words, from someone you've never met, about one of your reviews is what this place is all about. I look forward to your review, this course is vastly underrated on here. You'll help get it to where it should be. And keep up the excellent reviews

Congrats on hitting 250

Looking forward to seeing your review for Treasure Cove. That one is on my radar for a September trip through Des Moines to KC. I'd being playing that one on the way back up through Omaha. It's kind of surprising you're only #4 in Iowa. You've plastered that state besides the Davenport area. Like I said to DFrah, keep up the fantastic reviews.

Was creeping on your courses played and noticed/surprised you just played Eagle Pt Park in Clinton, instead of any Davenport courses or the Dewitt course. This course was in pretty bad shape (fallen trees in fairways mostly) last I heard, but you have updated to good conditions. Could you please elaborate on the current conditions there?

Was staying in Clinton for the night. Ducked off the course just before a rain shower.

Fairways were fine, mostly cleared. Only issue we had was trying to find the #5 short pad. A little muddy with current rains, but played just fine. The grass was beginning to get a bit long, so upkeep would be a question going forward, but no issues with fallen trees on our play.

Thanks, that review is about 7th on my list, will get there... as for #4, discgolfiowa has hit 95%, DerekTonn is above 80%. I'm chasing KingDavid64 at just under 77%. My current tally puts me at 66.7%. 324 active courses in Iowa at current count (up 6 so far in 2022, I've added 5 of those on DGCR, several more that I know are in process) I'll keep pushing...and reviewing...

Amateur course baggers thread ftw. Just played Bud Pell for the first time one week before it closed for my big 150 (DGCR says I'm only at 149 but they don't have every course). Bitter sweet. What course should I play for 200? I'm in PDX, played all the ones around here so thinking Southern Oregon and Northern Cali courses.

If southern OR is on the table Whistler’s is the business.
