One of the things that should be taken into account is the difficulty of the courses -- playing 100+ holes at somewhere like Renny Gold is very different than playing 100+ holes at your neighborhood pitch-n-putt.
Friends and I have frequently played 100-200 holes in a day on medium-distance/challenge courses. But none of those hurt nearly as much as playing less holes on harder courses.
Not long after ACL surgery (while I was still in physical therapy), I was out in a full knee brace and hiking boots at Lestor Lorch Park (Cedar Hills, TX), where they've got two full 18-hole courses. My brother and I made it through four full rounds of 36 holes, plus a few extras to push us over the 150 mark... that was the most tired/sore I've ever been after a day of disc golf.
There is a totally different mental game required to play well over the long-haul at some really intense, high-penalty, championship courses. I would love to hear stories of most holes played at courses with lots of elevation change, rocks, thorns, etc, and SSAs in the mid-60s or higher.
Probably the best I've done in that regard is 4 rounds in one day at Paw Paw... which will knock you on your @$$. Hoping to get out there someday with a friend of mine for a marathon challenge and see how many rounds are really possible. I'm betting 6 is doable, but to do that you'd have to start early, and leave the beer in the car until the last round.
