How badly grown over were hole 4, 6 and 7?
Last time I was there, hole 6 had weeds taller than me, for the length of the entire "fairway".
Prairie golf was easier to find discs...
Perhaps this one could be your first review of many, on your journey to trusted reviewer status
I read the prior reviews. many of which are 10 years old and likely dont reflect the course anymore. So i would assume that much of the hate is related to the fact that it used to be terrible. Stardoggy's review likely best sums it up, but that review is even several years old now.
Maybe I'm kind of a soft core bagger? I definitely don't make the time or have the energy to play more than one or two courses in a day. And I definitely don't review anything that I play because A- nobody cares what I think, and B- what I enjoy in a course may not be what someone else would enjoy.
Maybe we need more people like him. Think of how much better the world would be if we all had such a positive outlook on everything.

I think that both your reasons for not writing reviews are not really justified Point A is just incorrect, and point B is why I think most people here, including myself, value presence of details in a review more than the rating. If we play the same course and I give it a 2.0 but you give it a 4.0 and explain why you think it's a 4.0 course in a decent level of detail, I'm still going to care what you think about the course and thumb up your review.
But all that said, I don't think writing reviews or not is really relevant to being a course bagger. All of those points you said, are things that I think baggers do.
Thanks. Trying to decide if I'm a bagger or not.
Last year I drove 800 miles one way to play a couple of courses. Also played a few on the way there and back.
This year I'll be flying 1500 miles from home to play a handful of courses.
Labor Day weekend I traveled three states to play five different courses.
Within my state I'll happily drive one to two hours to play certain courses.
I've also made it a point to play courses whenever I travel even if the trip isn't disc golf specific.
I know some of you baggers have played hundreds of courses and probably multiple courses in a day. Maybe my willingness to travel specifically to play qualifies me a some sort of bagger-lite?

If your spouse wants you to travel somewhere, and tries to convince you by saying, "There are good disc golf courses nearby, in a state you haven't bagged yet", well . . .
Lately I've been making a point the highest rated courses in a given state that I'll be in.
I stopped using DGCR's road trip planner a few years ago. I just find it easier to filter the map by ratings, prioritize what I want to hit, and maybe bag a few other courses that happen to be convenient along the way.
The pure 'bagging' expeditions I've done are pretty much day trips based from home or when I'm staying in an area for a few days.
But I've managed to bag quite a few "less than destination worthy" courses as a convenient way to stretch my legs during long drives.
Dude, based on your lifestyle, you're a Course Collector! I hearby bestow that title on you. May the Course be with you!Thanks. Trying to decide if I'm a bagger or not.

QFT. That was the ONLY way to go back in the early 2000sThough printing pages from the PDGA website course directory WAS the only way to bag....back in the stone age.
course bagged my 1500th course this weekend. Was about 9 years from when I got 500 courses.
currently at 1501 courses played
541 courses played in California
no current plans to add to my total, but I suspect I will get a few more this year.
When asking permission to play a church camp course, I introduce myself as a "course collector" and usually try to mention how many courses I have played and that I would like to make there course #XXXX. Usually mention I am from Dallas and in the area for just the day.
This has worked more than a few times including getting special permission to play Oral Roberts University course in Tulsa.
But I have been turned down a few times too.
And to keep up my addiction, I may be doing an 1100 miles trip to play only 5 courses this week.
