I think the DG tradition is more about multiples of 3 than just 9 since 12 and 24 hole layouts seem "normal" options. They just did 21 at TX States but I agree with Sauls that 15 seems like the odd multiple of 3.

If you have the money for 18 baskets but not enough room for 18 holes. Go 2 tees and 2 baskets on each hole less space required and 4 layout are yielded. Short Tee Short Pin, Short Tee Long Pin, Long Tee Short Pin, Long Tee Long Pin.

As someone who has been playing disc golf longer than disc golf has been disc golf, and is a former ball golfer, I have been tagged as equating disc golf too closely to golf. DG is based on the rules and etiquette of golf. Even if the Scots developed golf as an eighteen hole event simply to match the number of shots in a fifth of whiskey, it is a standard of tradition that should always be honored, if at all possible. As one poster responded, without knowing distances and elevations and such, it is impossible to say for sure, but in assuming that your tee and basket placements and hole lines are pretty much to scale, I see what should be a simple fix for you. Eliminate holes four and seven and cut two of your longer holes in two. I would recommend number eight, for sure. From the present eight tee, you could shoot straight across the lawn to a basket placement tucked into the tree line, just to the right of the present seven tee. That would also allow you to somewhat straighten and lengthen number three.
Regardless, congratulations and good fortune to you in this endeavor. And remember, no matter how you lay it out, there will be some that are going to bi+c# and moan.
....But now, a quarter of a century later, Johnson Street is considered one of the best in existence and is the course on which David Wiggins, Jr. learned the sport. Granted, over the years, holes were moved to accommodate new housing beside the park, blue and gold pads were poured, adding to the basic White par 54, which is, as I said, considered to be one of the finest designs in America....
They speak of it in hushed tones. So hushed that no one mentions or writes about it in any forums on best courses or course design. That's reverence!
That 39th ranked course in the state of North Carolina sure is "one of the best in existance".
:rollseyes:
You can't measure disc golf courses by what disc golfers think about them.
I'm pretty sure Mr. Sauls was being sarcastic.
