Well, if you have a poorly designed wooded course, you might end up with a bunch of chuck and pray holes. There is nothing worse that a course with a bunch of trees and no lines to the basket.
Bad tee signs. I hate it when there is poor signage and I get lost.
I chose graffiti. The graffiti alone might not ruin my round, but in most cases if there is graffiti it is accompanied by litter and other signs of people's total lack of respect for the course and nature in general.

never heard of that one...lotsa crack heads in iowa?
I voted for shule but would probably say not being able to find the next tee. It is so frustrating to walk around aimlessly looking for the next tee.
bullseye.
i can deal with the bad course conditions, but the group of 9 17-year olds or the group of 7 drunk 45-year olds that hold up the entire course behind them grind my gears.
second to that? mosquitoes!
what the hell kind of course do you play at?!?!
I voted shule but I wish you had added bad or hard to follow layout. Not being able to find my around, and some of the maps are no good, ruins it quicker than anything. Some courses don't need maps, like the Grange, and that makes it a real joy when the place is laid out that well. It just sort of flows.

Losing a disc is the worst for me actually.

I say Tall Grass. It can contain poisin ivy and little thorn bushes. Also, when a disc goes into tall grass it's very hard to locate from afar even with using reference points. And if your disc is standing straight up in thick grass it's invisible from certain angles. I'm talking about 3-4 foot long grass. At Tyler Park the OB long grass is never maintained because the park harvests the grass for hay...and with the rain we've been having it's a jungle.
i dont mind really anything besides soggy ground. i can work around everything else but lossing yuour footing in the mud is horrible.
How about stickers and sand burrs that make your socks unbearable, gnat swarms at the tee boxes, chronic puddle spots (which lead to mosquitoes), baskets that are leaning because the mowers from the parks department keep bumping into them.
Sadly, due to the size required for a park big enough to have a disc course in it, many of those same parks are attractive magnets for the alternative lifestyle crowd, particularly if they have lots of woods.
In Iowa, it's methamphetamine.
And I've only run into this scenario out of state.

Concrete tee boxes that are aimed in the wrong direction. Anything else I can forgive, but this was a mistake made by the course's designers.
Not always a mistake - sometimes a course is reconfigured (for whatever reason) and it's just too d@mn hard to dig them concrete slabs out of the ground. Oak Grove in Pasadena is a prime example of this, although the original tees there are six-sided and can be used pretty much in any direction.
