[dreadlock86]

interesting stats courtesy of the Complete-o-meter

1. TX 250
2. CA 197
3. WI 193
4. MN 179
5. IA 174
6. MI 173
7. IL 170
8. NC 145
9. OH 144
10. KS 115


Kansas was a big surprise to me. TX and CA are obvious but the northern midwest states have it locked down!
Colorado barely misses the top 10 with 112.

it would be interesting to see stats compiled that include extinct courses.

also, all these states except KS have more courses than any other country in the world.
Top Countries outside US
1. Sweden 128
2. Canada 127
3. Finland 118


anyone else have any cool stats? or just want to shout out at your state in the top 10...

Everything is bigger in Texas!

Don't feel like looking but Oregon would probably havequite a few

 

[Mysticfalcon]

Id be curious to see it go by state with the most courses by area. Those states are all quite a bit bigger than Vermont

Not really. There are a lot around Portland and Albany but remember Eastern Oregon has like 5 courses or something. Oregon only has a couple more than Washington, maybe like 10 at most and we don't have very many. Ah hell I'll look it up..

 

[giles]

seems like they are all centered around Denver in Colorado. I also know that in states like CO they probably have a large number or private or renegade courses we don't have listed.

Holy crap Washington has more! I didn't know that! Washington has 79 and Oregon has 77. I guess all those Eastern Washington courses help.

Wisconsin sitting in third! Oh ya

 

[Jukeshoe]

IL has so many because of the multitude of dinky little niners in Chicago.

More is not always better.

Courses per square mile would be a nice stat.

Not it!

While the quality of courses in Northern Illinois isn't that great . . . i would sure like to randomly pick a 9 holer each day and play something different. I actually just did a blog entry about Northern Illinois when I played 8 courses down there and my next entry is about 9 more 9 holers I played 2 weeks later. check it out if you are interested . . .www.thediscgolfexperience.com End Plug!

A good chunk of my courses played are in Illinois and Wisconsin, the area surrounding lake Michigan is pretty dense.

 

[drickanderson]

Larges states have the advantage when it comes to most courses. Number of courses per square mile is a different story entirely.

While I was looking this up, others beat me to it.

 

[sillybizz]

Courses per square mile would be a nice stat.

Not it!

Someone did that a while ago but I can't remember who it was or which thread. I would guess living in Alaska or Wyoming would be tough if you liked disc golf.

 

[Mbagnola1]

I didn't expect Wisconsin and Illinois to make the top 10. Like Jukeshoe said more is not always better. Lots of the niners out here I feel no need to go back to

 

[sillybizz]

Nevermind I got beat to it.
