I'll agree with that, very sweet map. and I too would like to see an updated version, 2.5 years is a long time in the current DG course-building frenzy.

*am damn glad I don't live in north-central Nevada.

Or Southwest Texas..... Or southeastern KY...... or what is that NE Montana?

There's more missing that just disc golf in some of those areas.

That is a super sweet map!

Nevada looks like a cold dark place.

Everytime I see the black areas I think, "beyond here, there be dragons."

I would love to see an update as well! That map is sweet.

If you divide the data points by population density, and limit to courses of ratings 2 or better, Chicago would be way darker than Nevada.

In all seriousness, it's nice to see my home state blue-free!

Iron Hill is the only 18 hole public course with a permanent layout of a 72 SSA. There may be a private course or a set up during tournament play that is harder, but I'm pretty sure as of right now it is the hardest permanent course in the world. That is not a good thing or a bad thing. That was not even the goal. The goal was to have a public course with at least one of the permanent layouts to have a SSA of 72. Some one will put something in harder and that's OK. We just wanted to give something a try.

A par round at Iron Hill is a 960 rated round, a par round at De La is 1000. my .02

A par round at Iron Hill is 1000 rated. Your looking at the other layouts. Even the Silver layout of a Par 61 is 1000 rated. Your just looking at the wrong scores. The Gold Par 72 layout is only played at the A tier and 1 round at King of the Hill.

Ah, got ya. I pulled the info from the PDGA results page and showed the round ratings. Looks like a par round under the King of the hill layout is a 998.

It's cool. 4 permanent layouts on the course.

I've worked with Steve on a few of those maps... and by worked with I mean provided data. I think some of his images would make pretty cool posters.
