When I am seeking new courses to visit I lean heavily on DGCR reviews, and usually try to focus on the ones rated 3.5+. I enjoy good use of big elevation changes, fairways that are densely wooded, and playing over or near water.

My reviews may lean more optimistic than a lot of other players. I would rate an average 9 hole course with suitable tees and baskets as a 2.5, or "decent/typical". I have a hard time giving a 9 hole course much higher than 3 discs, or "good". The average 18 hole course is going to have to be very plain or have elements that make parts of it unplayable to be less than 3 discs. Some of the lower ratings are overlapping like "passable" and "reasonable", or "poor" and "bad". I consider very few courses to be bad, so my ratings rarely use the bottom end of the 5 disc scale.

I am over 450 courses played now, with at least one in each state. I have played the most courses in Kansas, followed by Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Missouri and Texas. The next goal is reaching double digit courses played in as many states as I can. Of course I daydream about visiting all of the highest rated courses, as well as ones in other countries.

Respect to Tim G. and all of the members and reviewers on this site who take time to give their insight in order to help others enjoy the game more. Feel free to contact me if you would like to ask questions have critical input on my reviews. I am also happy to meet new people and play some disc golf when possible.
