Are there any courses that have targets with something on the top? Metal sculptures mounted on top of every target? Something other than a little flag on a white stick.
Do you have artists in your little town? Big sculptures, kinetic art, or large pieces of antique farm equipment might make cool obstacles that might not cost much at all and maybe bring some community appreciation.
Ring of Square Banners with a Double Moat
Here's another idea. I think it would be an easy way to transform a wide open green into a challenging green that would showcase sponsors.

I was thinking a "farm course" ought to have a basket on top of a barn, with a weather vane sticking out of the top of it. I combined that idea with line-of-play bunkers in the form of garden beds. Here's what I got.

This thread has reminded me of something I have considered. Here's my situation...
I'm working on a gold level course, which yeah I know that's what they all say, that will have red tees in addition to gold. But, I also want to have a kid course, or maybe a wooded hiking trail/kid disc golf...
Here's another that I really like. The first part is 185 pages on the history and development of golf course design, which I think any disc golfer would appreciate. The not-so-interesting bulk of the book, part two, is 252 pages of biographical profiles of golf course designers.

Frisbee by the Masters, by Charles Tips...
I recently read bury me in a pot bunker by Pete Dye (1995). the book is a good read, and I'll agree that Pete Dye is an interesting golf course designer, but I don't think it has anything to offer to the disc golfer. I happen to love golf quotes, and unfortunately many of the quotes in this...
If you can end with DGER, as in Disc Golf Expert Recreationalists, you can shoot for things like...
Chillicothe Ohio, CODGERS
Beaverton, Alaska, BADGERS
only seems to work for CO and BA.
best I got, sorry.
Find a manufacturer or dealer of tractors or bulldozers or track hoes to title sponsor an event. The bigger and more crazy the better. In addition to added cash, ask to borrow the big stuff. Have them park the equipment on the course, right on the green of a hole in view of the public or...
It was high noon, tournament day. We were a few holes into the wooded section of the course, when we came to a clearing. From the tee, the fairway followed an old dirt trail straight into a deserted town right out of the Old West. Wooden shacks lined each side of the fairway, each looking...
