This got me wondering, How many states has someone played over 25% of the courses?? i am thinking if you have played over a 1/4 of the state one should have a good feel for what disc golf is like in that state correct??
I've got 32% in WI and 50% in RI.
WI is awesome, RI sucks.

Well, I have played over 25 % of 8 states. Not sure i could claim that one state is greater than another. Except for WI > WY
WI(66%)
CA(52%)
WY(36%)
AZ(32%)
NV(31%)
NE(31%)
KY(27%)
AL(26.2)
Funny thing is my third most played state is CO(21%) and TX(9%) at 32.

I've played more than 25% of 20 states, 10 of those have over 100 courses. And yeah, I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what these states are like, it helps that I've sought out the better of the courses in most of the states probably. But I also feel like I'm missing out on a lot - unlisted courses, league or tournament scene, hidden gems, etc.

Your data show a slow-down in the rate of growth. If that continues, the number of disc golf courses in the US will peak at just over 9,000 in the year 2028.
I'll be burnt out building them by then.

West Virginia is up to 34, numbers 35, 36, 37 will be ready by summer!
probably depends on the state, and how many different designers or the age of the courses?
michigan east coast is different than west coast. steep hills and woods vs low rolling hills.
also, i havent played in the upper penninsula yet, but i'm assuming thats different.
bigger states like california have desert courses and ... slightly less desert courses.
but i'd say all of florida's courses are the same. sand, lakes, gators and palm trees. well i havent played in the panhandle, so maybe i missed a difference in the courses there. hopefully this year i'll get over there and check them out.
surprises me about iowa there. dang they got a lot of courses!
new question, how come the midwest likes disc golf so much?
why does new england hate disc golf?
is it age related? is it states that spend more or less on parks?
are there other activities that draw in more people in those states? competetive tree climbing maybe?
why hasnt montana gotten any new courses from 2013 to 2015? according to the chart above?
south west doesnt like disc golf?
props to texas. north carolina adding 36 courses from 2013 to 2015. wisco 37. impressive.

It takes the right proportion of cheap land and people. Not enough cheap land in New England, not enough people in MT.

All these new courses and people are still saying the only way to grow the sport is to be more like golf.
