I did a 4.5 hour drive to get to Troy, MT for the Timberbeast tournament from Helena, MT. In terms of casual rounds for just one day, I used to drive Salem OR to North Plains OR to play Hornings twice a month or so. It was a little more than 2 hours each way, but so very, very worth it.

TWo and a half hours each way to play milo and timber park. Man I wish I still had a minivan.
450ish miles and almost 7 hours from Raleigh to Flyboy.

The closest course to my house is 40-45 minutes away. Still play 4-5 times a week.
About 2 1/2 hours, to Stoney Hill, to Sugaree, and once to play Sugaree and Blackjack. Those trips were nothing but disc golf. Plenty of trips where I drive an hour or more out of the way to play a course. And combo trips, like routing a road trip around the courses I want to try.
With the thread out on top 2013 courses, it'd be interesting to index which courses people are most willing to travel for. There are a few within an hour that I've been meaning to play for awhile now, and I can't even fit them into another trip (like stopping on my way to the beach, etc.). However I've driven to Sugaree a few times, and I'll happily drive there again the next time I have the chance.

Drove with buddies to Blue Ribbon Pines from Illinois. It took about 5 1/2 to 6 hours. Played Acorn park on the way back.
Unrelated to casual round trip, but I just played a course in Arizona while visiting friends. Farthest course from IL I've played.

we'll go 100 miles the morning of tournaments and come back the same day. Usually anything more than that (Bowling Green is 2 hours and 45 minutes from me) and we stay the night.
Farthest road trip was with a buddy going to 2011 Am Worlds. Left work at noon on Friday and got to my fathers in Buffalo at 3am, then took him to the falls Saturday morning. Approximately 950 miles each way...

but on another occasion after the 2012 super bowl, i took an hour nap, and left at midnight, drove over 8 hours , over 550 miles from Memphis the Water Works in Kansas City, [through a lot of dense fog for over 100 miles of it around st louis and kansas city] to get out and play an early morning misty round there...awesome:thmbup:
[the next afternoon I was playing in salt lake city, and the next day in boise idaho-all driving]

Maybe after reading the entire OP, I pushed the question a bit. Last year the wife and I went to Europe for not only our honeymoon, but also the Jam In The Dam. But that said, it was imperative that some disc golf was an integral part of our journey.
The farthest Ash and I have driven for a single round is about 400 miles round trip. We have done crazy things like play 4 courses on the last day of a road trip, then drive all the way from Florida home to Chicago. Last week we flew 20 hours from home to play disc golf in New Zealand, but since that wasn't the primary reason for the trip it doesn't quite count.
