steal the baskets, make a better course
What do you think? Better design or more courses? I choose design!
No matter how bad a course is... it is still baskets in the ground and you can always make a safari layout out of it for some good putting, midrange, and upshot practice.

If you are tired of sub par courses, move to Charlotte. Quit complaining, pack a uhaul and bring it. We are hosting the largest event in the sports history for a reason. Worlds 2012.

I vote for both, but...
There's a course by me that is laid out like a question mark. Hole 1's tee at the bottom, hole 9's basket at the top. You're finishing at the point farthest away from the parking lot. It gives some exposure and some people play it. That's just OK.
There's another one that was put in by a Boy Scout doing their Eagle Project (noble!). But he'd never even played and didn't ask for help. Nine holes, barely playable. Last time I was out there, out of 9 baskets, 2 were left. After that experience, you can't really blame the park district for bailing on the idea of disc golf altogether.
I'm trying my best with my local district. I just wish planners would go look at successful courses in the area before planning their own.
