yup, my sister did one based on a 29 mile radius from singluar points that created the best score within, counting only courses that were 3+ and with at least 5 reviews. after it was sent through the fire of DGCR the resulting list was...

I later went and created my own list using courses in a 50 mile radius with raings of 3.5 and up. In this one however the courses were rudimentally weighted by distance from the marker. I think this one more so gives you the best road trip destinations if you're driving around hitting multiple areas while the first one would be more of a singular destination type list.

Ha! My city isn't even a village, just a crossroads, but our courses have an average rating of 4.38! You can camp too---I think you have---and we have enough layouts to keep you busy and wear you out. And if you get tired of that, within 2 hours we have 41 courses rated 3.5+.
And you don't have to play in the snow.
My city is the best!!!
And I can apparently add Chester State Park on the way to or from. Hmmmm, tough call.
I don't know why folks hate Red Mountain so much. I fell in love with the South course.
I really like the Cincinnati and Pittsburgh area's for DG and can't decide which one is better. I usually road trip to one of these locations once a year.
It's been a dozen years since I had a frisbee road trip, but if I were to take a day trip to play golf, I'm having a hard time deciding between IDGC and Stoney Hill.
More golf at IDGC. But the drive there is 2:45, compared to 1:45 to the Newberry metro area. And I can apparently add Chester State Park on the way to or from. Hmmmm, tough call.

I once got to play Stoney Hill in the snow. It was cold and wet. And awesome.

I was going to mention Worcester, MA, and I'm glad there is some data to back it up. Within 30 minutes you have Maple Hill, Pyramids, both Devens courses, Barre Falls, Buffumville, Hyland, and Webster, all 3.5 or better. The city of Worcester is nothing remarkable, but if you're looking for a place to stay with terrific courses nearby, it's pretty great.
Of the ones above that I've played, here are my thoughts:
Charlotte: great for quantity of 3.5-level courses. It wouldn't be a bad place to live for that reason. I wouldn't say there are a lot of true stand-out courses here (other than Renny), but it's worth a visit to bag a lot of really good courses. I didn't think much of the city otherwise. I had a lot of trouble finding any quality beer. But none of the courses disappointed.
Denver: the city itself sucks for disc golf. But up in the foothills an hour away? Paradise. Beaver Ranch, Bucksnort, Bailey, and Phantom Falls are as good as it gets for a vacation, and the scenery is terrific.
Highbridge: the ultimate destination for sure. Best 36 hours of disc golf I've had. I can't wait to get back. The courses aren't overrated because they are together. These courses would be stellar on their own. The fact that they are a couple hundred feet apart is mind blowing. Obviously there is not much else to do up in this area, but who cares? You're going for the disc golf.
Kansas City: the best of the cities above if you want to have non-disc golf stuff to do. Great bars and restaurants. This is the best city in the country that you didn't know was great, and the climate is workable (rarely too hot or too cold to play, although it can be muggy in the summer). And the disc golf is great. If you were going to have a disc golf-related bachelor party, this might be the best place to do it.
About the beer, when were you here? If it was recently, you couldn't have looked to hard. Although I will admit that it can be difficult to find great beer and great food in the same place. Oftentimes it's one or the other.
