"I wish there was a different course here."
Talking about the courses that the best land/terrain to make it happen but totally flopped on the execution.
I still think back to my first review, Earl Township in southeast Pennsylvania. It's a park that had all the amazing forested land in the world, a lot of it sloping. Even a 1 kilometer (.7 mile) circular asphalt path running though it that no one walks. Been there a dozen times, not playing. 98% of everyone that visits the place stays upfront in the playgrounds or multiple baseball diamonds.
The 9 hole course they set up is tucked away in the furthest corner from the parking lot, about 10 minutes walk. It uses less than 10% of the land available and the most boring and open 10% at that.
I still think about it often. It was established 2003, long before Disc Golf was on any normies radar. I keep hoping someone would redo it completely and the township would let them. I'd throw $500 at that project if there was a serious attempt.
