Most Isolated Course

[c_a_miller]

In a random browse of the map I noticed there are a few places in the US that you can click and there are no courses within that X mile radius (I'm not sure how close the courses are from the X) then I began to wonder which course in the 48 contiguous states is the most isolated course from another course.

My guess would be that it is somewhere in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming area.

In Texas I found that Buena Vista Park is the most isolated course in the state being ~112 miles from Junction County Park.

Exactly why I said out of the 48 states. Because obviously Alaska or the random courses in the other countries will have much more isolated than in the lower states.

we don't proof read. we just jump to conclusions. ha. :|

How about Talon Trails in Presque Isle, Maine.

Nothing even listed for nearby courses. Must be farther than the search radius that timg uses.

All Aboard Disc Golf is 100 miles south if you enter in the zip code.

Hmmm, strange that it doesn't show up on the course page.

Enman Riverside in Caribou (no idea why it's not in the DGCR database) is only about 10 miles from Talon Trails. Talon Trails probably wouldn't exist if not for the player base grown by Riverside's presence.

Where Google plots a particular place's zip code and where that place actually is are two different things. Because of this, DGCR actually marks the second closest course to my home as the closest despite the fact that its five miles further.

And in rural Montana, a zip code can encompass hundreds of square miles, which it appears zip code 59501 is.

If you really want to determine a winner, I'd use the GPS coordinates and find the distance between those.

And it's right off US-50, the "loneliest road in America!"

True. I just assumed the lat/long was screwed up and that was why the map wasn't working.
