I'm a little confused by this statement. Are you saying to avoid placing baskets on flat land if possible? Or just that it will lead to a worn circle?
What can be done to alleviate this issue (especially in areas where much of the land is flat)?
My original point was that new designers sometimes put all the targets at the very peaks of the hills, or the tees at the bottom of a dip and vice-versa.
Those are the only perfectly flat places, usually. So, it looks "right". However, after a few years, the area around the tee or target will get worn down by a few inches, making it the lowest point in the vicinity, so water will collect there.
Experienced designers will look for ways to move them over a little (or a lot) so the tee or target is at least few inches higher than a nearby spot for water to run off to.
