Let's see, maybe you have heard of;really? ok maybe state parks, but i feel we have some high quality courses(warwick, j-park, oxbow, many many others) that maybe aren't in state parks..is this important for a course to be in a state park? i would rather have a course on private land(hyzer creek is badass) or somewhere where you didn't have to pay to play and "dodge the man" every time you went out..what are these courses in pa you are talking about?..i know of a few in delaware where you have to pay 7 buks to park and worry about a park ranger jumping out of the trees to write you citations..
yea i agree NY does need more disc golf courses. And it is in the process of getting them. i know of two courses that are in different stages of the approval process in the albany area. one in a state park one in a city park. governments are hard to deal with in NY and it takes a strong effort to deal with them to get a course approved on public lands. i know the albany area club has played a very active role in getting a course approved by a town govt (joralemon park is a great course which was recently expanded to 27 holes) and have established a good example to work from when dealing with other local governments.
I can imagine it is even more difficult to get a course in the adirondack state park as there are lots of restrictions and hoops to jump through when dealing with any of the land in there. but hopefully in the next year or two there will be a larger number of DG courses spread throughout NY.

The Adirondacks are bigger than Yellowstone and Yosimite combined, they take up a good chunk of the state and contain no courses.
Hyzer Creek is not technically in the Adirondack State Park but damn close and been there since 2002.
The two courses that ghova mentioned along with the course that Skot Hanna is designing at Hunter Mountain will bring the eastern-upstate NY course total to 5.
If the hippie tree-hugger freaks in Woodstock would've researched things before getting all NIBMY we'd have 6..........
No love for my home course? Joseph Davis SP!!!
No offense. I have heard great things, but I can not promote the course because I have not played it. Everytime I plan on going there is a storm or our trip is cancelled for some other reason, but I will play it by this summer and I'll have to look you up.
