Course Designers - Their Top 10 Sites

[sisyphus]

Not trying to derail the thread further, but rather to encourage folks to reach out and continue to make DGCR the most useful and informative site in the DG world...

I feel a little guilty about doing this, but having noted the lack of course designer info for several of the neglected little niners around Cincinnati, I asked many of my local acquaintances, and nobody knew for sure who designed, installed, or was even involved in some of them, so I entered the course designer here as Alan Smithee.

It finally caught the attention of friend and local legend Pete Caldwell, who asked me to make several corrections. I gladly put in the info he provided.

That reminds me, Craig Getty installed one in the Cincy area in Batesville, Indiana so he's done 12 courses across 3 states. 8 of them are nearly 4/5 or above, so he's likely one that would be worth adding to the database.

Actually, the number of states is at least 21, and 5 Canadian provinces. Plus a few states where I've just consulted.

[johnrhouck]

Forgive me. It's four provinces. Hope be starting in #5, and maybe more in 2022.

Ahhh I misread that.

Don't worry, saying that Houck has only designed in 6 different states isn't as bad as the dude that said that John had never played Disc golf before. That was the one that had me spewing coke classic at my laptop. And let's not forget that John Houck has actually designed courses on other planets.

Don Hoffman designs a damn good course. I had a hard time finding a complete list of his designed courses, but it appears I've played at least 23 of them. Being from WI, possibly (probably) more.

It's true Houck has never played a rated round before.

He's listed 10th on the table in my opening post.

I know it would be alot more work, but it would be interesting to see the average course rating for each designer's entire catalog of courses...
