What's the highest concentration of disc golf courses?

[Cgkdisc]

Several of the zip codes on the southeast side of the Twin Cities are the only ones where there are over 100 courses within 100 miles. The other advantage of so many courses is the number of leagues. There are leagues every week of the year in or near the Twin Cities with more than one on some days. Largest league in the world is the Sundog with over 180 players in multiple flights on some Tuesdays this spring/summer.

from my zip there is 68 within 50 miles, and 37 of them are 3 disc rating or more. The minneapolis area is great and there are tons of courses I've still yet to visit but hear are great. I'm already a part of two leagues which is a big change from where I am originally from and it's a great way to get together with others that love DG as much as you. I am also rather close to some of the nice WI courses, I hit up the towers this weekend which was great. Only a two hour drive to two great 18 hole courses.

I think it would be interesting to see what the best disc golf zip code is. See how your zip code fares under the following...

- Courses within 25 miles
- Courses within 50 miles
- Courses within 100 miles
- Courses within 50 miles rated 3 discs or better (3 review minimum)
- Courses within 150 miles rated 4 discs or better (3 review minimum)

My results:
- Courses within 25 miles 3 courses
- Courses within 50 miles 12 courses
- Courses within 100 miles 45 courses
- Courses within 50 miles rated 3 discs or better (3 review minimum) 5 courses
- Courses within 150 miles rated 4 discs or better (3 review minimum)6 courses

My results:zip code = 55337 (Burnsville, MN)
- Courses within 25 miles 37 courses

- Courses within 100 miles 136 courses
- Courses within 50 miles rated 3 discs or better (3 review minimum) 24 courses
- Courses within 150 miles rated 4 discs or better (3 review minimum)13 courses

My results:zip code = 52556 (Fairfield, Iowa)
- Courses within 25 miles 2 courses
- Courses within 50 miles 19 courses
- Courses within 100 miles 69 courses
- Courses within 50 miles rated 3 discs or better (3 review minimum) 2 courses
- Courses within 150 miles rated 4 discs or better (3 review minimum)6 courses

would like to edit: there are(were) 3 just outside of 25 miles for 52556. One is temporarily removed. So that would make 5. From my house to them is < 25 miles

Numbers don't tell the story. Chicago is a suckhole of despair when it comes to disc golf. There are a lot of 9-hole flat wide open pitch and putt courses around Chicago. The very best courses in the area can only be considered average. I always tell my friends when they go to Chicago to just play the course that happens to be nearest to you. NONE of them are worth a special trip out of your way.

Its sad, but if you want to play in the Chicago area, you have to go to West Park in Joliet/Rockdale (trees and elevation), or the course in Mokena (trees). Its a drive though.

End of story.

Or go to the Lemon Lake complex just across the IL/IN border and spend the day on four fine courses.

My results:
zip code = 50003 (Adel, IA) <- Home while not in school, so most of the summer
- Courses within 25 miles 18 courses
- Courses within 50 miles 36 courses
- Courses within 100 miles 85 courses
- Courses within 50 miles rated 3 discs or better (3 review minimum) 8 courses
- Courses within 150 miles rated 4 discs or better (3 review minimum) 4 courses --> 3 within 35 miles

zip code = 50013 (Ames, IA) <- Home while in school, so fall/winter/spring
- Courses within 25 miles 16 courses
- Courses within 50 miles 38 courses
- Courses within 100 miles 92 courses
- Courses within 50 miles rated 3 discs or better (3 review minimum) 8 courses
- Courses within 150 miles rated 4 discs or better (3 review minimum) 5 courses --> 3 within 50 miles

Conclusion: We have a lot of courses, just not a lot of quality ones. Most are 9 hole courses squeezed into a park. We do have a few exceptional courses within a pretty close proximity though.

Or the Anna Page courses in Rockford, but you are correct that it's a real drive to get to any real courses.
