Best States with Open Courses?

[JLonardo]

Hi,

I am relatively new to disc golf, about one year, and have come to realize I can throw extremely well drives in open fields. In the woods I do not do as well. Up where I am in Vermont, there are a ton of trees. I have about three holes on the two courses in my town that have no trees, and there is one other course close by that has zero, but it is much more open then the ones in my town. My main question is what areas of the US have many open courses where I could plan to move to once I get my college degree?

Thank you all!

Those types of courses tend to become quite boring after a short while.

Open courses tend to be windy courses, which may be less than ideal for dg than you think.

 

[DavidSauls]

Just think of places with more open land, and fewer forests.

Does Antarctica still have that course? Not much vegetation there.

Learn to miss the trees....

I would shoot for some of the bigger cities in the midwest with a crap ton of courses surrounding them. You should have quite a few wooded and open courses mixed together. Like someone else said, you may get bored of open courses after your game starts to improve more.

You should go on a disc golf road trip and try to bag as many courses as you can that don't have any trees at all. Most would be school courses that are around the track or baseball diamond or just an open field. After you have finished, you will probably be longing for your wooded local courses. Of course, maybe you were just born to play open courses and it's your destiny.

Lots of fun open courses in Florida, plus an endless summer.

You ever been to Wyoming?

personally, I prefer wooded courses... but open courses are everywhere... aren't they? These tend to be park courses on public land I think... and yeah, I agree with the second post... they get boring really fast. Nothing like learning to thread the needle on a technical course. my 2 pennies anyhow

Texas is as wide open as when Miley Cyrus drinks a few cocktails.

No.

Your approach to this topic is wrong. Learn to throw in the trees. This will make you a much better dg'er overall. Seriously. Accuracy > distance.

Plus, I don't think you ought to be making major life changing career decisions based on where your ideal disc golf is...

Buy a portable basket, find an open field and enjoy.

Open courses...?

I think it is a very good idea to consider your hobbies and personal interests as well as your career when relocating to a new city. Plus consider weather, wages, cost of living and about 12,000 other things. What is your major or career choice?

For example: If you are in banking, try Charlotte, insurance, choose Des Moines...
