Note to all who upload photos. I know there's always a rush to get pics up and show everybody, but showing your course in winter mode (i.e. no foliage) doesn't really showcase it well. Following those pics up with a 5 disc homer review just makes it look worse. Seriously, just wait for things to turn green again.Sequoyah State Park -- short tees about 16,000, long tees 17,000+

^^^ ponds and little shade in the California sun made it brutal. My arm gets sore just thinking about it. I played a casual round there and a tourney round there and the tourney round featured 25-30 mph winds. It was pure suck. Wow that was 5 years ago and still haunts me.
Same here. When I played it (all 11,000 feet of it), it really wasn't the holes that got to me. It was the 300 foot walks between them.Not to beat a dead horse, but Blue Valley felt like the longest I've played.
Very valid point. I guess it depends on if you're looking for style of the course or just overall length. Are you looking for a course that has a bunch of really super long holes, or the flat out distance you're going to under take when playing a course. If you're going purely on average hole length/style then we'd have to consider super 9s as well.
I know I'm far more beat after playing Milo than I am after playing Blue Lake, even though Blue Lake has a longer average hole length because 17,143 ft + 36 walkouts > 10,296 ft + 18 walkouts.
The other thing you have to consider is do you count all the holes of a complex like Horning's Hideout or High Bridge Hills, or just look at the individual courses. I would say break up the individual courses.
With that logic though you have to decide where you draw the line on what is one big course and what are individual courses on a complex. Milo is played as a 36 hole course, but the 2 18 hole sides of the course play back to the parking lot. It makes it easier to run and schedule a tournament that way. Where as Horning's really is 3 entirely different courses with different skill levels on different parts of the property. So they would never be considered as one course.
I can't say I have the answer to this because I didn't start the thread, so I'm curious to hear what others think.
Foundation Park DG Complex in Centralia, Il. The 18 hole course in the long positions runs 13,000', I believe.
I played the BSF layout in March for the Collegiate Regional and it is brutal. One day there playing both courses was rough but nearly 5 rounds in 2 1/2 days plus a stop to play Tree Top on the way there I was toast.
But for shear brutality and long is Renny in Charlotte NC. I hate that course.
However for the meanest kick your but lay you in bed for 2 days experience play the 3 courses at the PDGA HQ in 1 day and then play a tourney there over the next 2. Those courses all flow together and lend to playing one after the other. The total length is 25,379ft, with the Steady Ed course at 8274ft in the longs, Warner is 7680ft in the longs, and Jackson is 9325 and has only one set of tees.
With the HQ there and a great park for camping this is a great experience, and unlike Renny I would do it again.
Another is Hawk Hallow in VA, it is a monster that is a pure joy to play.
