Spot-on DavidSauls. But I have a feeling its backfiring a bit on Udisc. I think the main drivers and potential sharers of the Udisc Top 100 are fairly avid disc golfers who at least pay some attention to quality of courses in different regions. Udisc knows that more new courses making the list...

Udisc states that they adjust their ranking of courses by considering "...rating norms in different regions and other factors" First off, How in the Wide World of Sports does Udisc think they can account for regional rating norms? Makes zero sense. Even on Udisc when a course is really...

The Reddit thread linked below analyzes the Udisc ranking system by referencing their own ranked course directory on their app. To see their own ranked directory yourself go to Udisc course search, put nothing in the search field, click on the 'star' to sort high to low by ranking, then tap...

Yes, there are cases and contexts such as yours where eroded/compacted courses can be perceived as attractive and fun for beginners. But, overall, wouldn't you agree that prevention of those conditions with more planning and investment is not only better for wider public perception...

ru4por, I'd argue that quality is not 'completely' subjective... The focus of my post was on environmental quality, which can definitely be objectified. Eroded and compacted courses can objectively effect landscape experience and function. Surveys could and testing can prove this... Elephant...

10,000 courses, yeah, but what percentage of those are actually worth playing, and/or make a good impression on newbies and the image of the sport? So many are neglected and under-designed for sustainability and attractiveness. Most were rushed and opened before they were ready and it shows...

Ahildy13... Yeah but how many people are browsing reviews without posting their own, up-voting or down-voting? Just using it as a resource without participating... I browsed reviews for years without realizing I could up-vote or down-vote them. Kinda feel like an idiot but don't think I'm alone.

Unique AND Attractive DGCs I think I agree with you. Let me clarify... I don't mean to say that disc golf courses should look just like ball golf courses, only that they should be much more 'attractive and legible'. Each should be designed to look beautiful to serve the respective nature of...

It's the courses stupid... Live ball golf coverage is the model. It's been around for decades. It works. Millions of non-golfers (or very occasional golfers) are drawn to it. Why? Well there's a big and coordinated and experienced production crew that has commentators and cameras from various...

As you've alluded to in the past Chuck, the vast majority of folks who play disc golf are more towards the rec end of the spectrum. Reachable and ace-able holes are fun, and regions, courses and course complexes that offer fun layouts for various levels are more 'accessible' meccas... Especially...

There's an article coming up in the next Disc Golfer Mag (mid-Dec issue) on ball golf v disc golf courses and sustainability. The author, Dave McCarty has been covering the environmental movement since its modern inception in the early 70's. I was asked to contribute... I chose to emphasize the...

"I feel like we’re still in 1962 for the development of disc courses compared to ball golf." -Skins Perhaps 1862?
