Agreed. And promptly wishlisted.

I hit 500 yesterday. Thank you for the all the suggestions on the Top Ten Thread.

I ended up playing one that wasn't even on my preliminary suggestion list.

I threw O'hauser Gold in Menasha for 500. wow what an awesome course. I haven't plugged in all the numbers yet, but it felt like a 4.25. The best flat course i've ever throw. better than the Admiral, T2 and Oldsmar which were my highest rated flat courses previously.

just prior to throwing O'Hauser I threw Plamann Apple 18, which was the first course I ever threw back in 1999. I only remembered a couple holes. All the fields i remembered at Plamann are now populated with 30-foot tall trees. It's aged well, but the par designations are ridiculous. I threw an 18 down 52, but only 2 or 3 would be rec par 4s on a new course.

O'hauser is a fantastic course. Congrats on the milestone.

3 out of 4 of my most recent winter trips brought me to Texas. I've been quite impressed with the state, and winter is a great time to visit

maybe next time come when I am actually in town and we can get a round in together

 

[Pizza God]

To be fair, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan have more courses in about the same amount of area as Texas give or take. A lot more I'm guessing. My question to you is, how have you not played any courses in any of these great states?

Well, it's more than a 6 hour drive. Most of my disc golf trips are on a one day off. I literally leave at midnight and get home the next night. Usually my wife goes with me and helps me drive home.

I feel like a young kid on this thread, but just played #100 a couple weeks back--Canyons in IL. I wasn't even trying to play a specific course, but that worked out well--absolutely loved that course! Where else can you replace a disc smack in the middle of a round at a well stocked pro shop?!

I finally managed to bag my 100th course the other week. I had a quick trip to Chicago for a wedding, and had plans to make The Canyons #100. Of course, there was a tournament being played during the time I could get to the course.

I ended up making my 100th course Lincoln Christian University in Lincoln, IL on my way back to St. Louis. I would describe LCU's course as being "not quite as good as I imagine the Canyons is."

When you bag that many, eventually you'll run into tourney or park closure. Sucks that it happened for 100 and for a special course. I will always remember showing up at Selah Ranch early in the morning and being pumped up to play one of the top disc golf courses in the world. "Geez, why are there over a 100 cars here?" amateur world doubles was taking place.

I should get course number 600 this afternoon. Tyrol Basin DGC just west of Madison. After bagging three 3 hole practice areas first

I got 113 yesterday, but it was my 5th course added to DGCR so I got my discoverer medal which was cool.

I saw that you reviewed LCU's course and felt bad; I thought the review I wrote would have scared you off.

Then I noticed you also reviewed T.R. Hughes and thought maybe the problem isn't that my warnings are not clear enough, you just are not heeding them.

If you head out west, hit me up. I know all the terrible 9'ers you can hit off I-44. :thmbup:

After bagging three 3 hole practice areas first

Personally, I don't count Practice Areas in my official course count because they are not "real" courses, esp since they usually don't even have tees or standard layouts. But that's just how I do it. Until someone elects me the Sheriff of Course Counts everyone else can count whatever they want.

That does lead to a question, though. Udisc has some 1 basket practice areas, do you count those as a course played, too? That really stretches the definition, if you ask me.

On the other hand, the minimum number of holes that I count as a "real" course is 3. If it has permanent tees and permanent baskets then a 3 hole course goes into my course count. YMMV

I don't count anything with less than 6 baskets in my count, there are a ton of object courses in UDisc as well, and i don't count the majority of those as legit unless they are in a location where baskets aren't available.

In spite of my previous comment, I still play all of the practice areas. If there is a basket or 2 or 3 I will still play them; I just don't add them to my official course count.

 

[tallpaul]

I played and count 3 holers in Wisco. Harr and I were racing to 300 played! He had a number of them already marked off...

I would always make sure to actually make an "event" of it and play some true safari golf and such. If I am going to be there...may as well make it enjoyable.

This "course", (5 hole Black Creek DGC), I've visited more than once. 3 of us played for hours and hours one day, taking turns making up holes, until we reached 18 played and then, starting again.

I just go by what it says on here for my course count tbh. Like Paul said, I'll try to make them the most interesting "holes" that I can. Madison has 11 practice areas I think, these were the first 4 of them I've actually played though.

 

[wellsbranch250]

I intentionally avoid places with 3 or less baskets. I have been to three of them. i only count one of them in my totals as one of them had 3 tees to each of the 3 baskets. I have also played two unlisted courses. Thus my course count on dgcr is actually accurate.

There's a "course" not too far from me, on corporate land, that had 4-5 permanent
(in ground) Chainstars, but no defined tees. They added portable Black Holes to get to 9, but I know they don't want it listed. I've played it a couple of times, making up my own holes, but it's nothing special and I don't include it in my personal total. For the time it takes me to get there, there are other, more legit courses I can play... without trespassing.

-----------------------

FWIW - I'm not referring to the Jackson course I recently listed, which is also on corporate property. That course was already listed on U-Disc, and as such was public knowledge. The Shide and I bagged it one weekend. Actually a pretty good course with natural (but marked) tees, and Innova baskets. The bands on the baskets are all different, funky colors, like plum, olive, tan, some kind of mustardy yellow...

Pretty sure that's there for employees, but we hit it on a weekend. The groundskeeper/maintenance guy we expected to run us off, actually explained how the holes are routed around the campus to us.
