For me a "perfect" course is all about the quality and variety of the disc golf and the beauty of the course. I prefer playing in the woods, but with a variety of fairway widths, shapes, hazards, obstacles, and elevations. Extreme elevation can be fun but rolling hills are fine. Throwing downhill and walking uphill is better than the opposite.
Good tee pads are important. Lack of crowds and feeling like you have a beautiful bit of nature to yourself is a big positive. Bonus points for good tee signs (including pin position indicators) and for not needing a map to navigate the first time through.
A perfect course allows you to play it as anything from a high-quality pitch-and-putt to an epic distance monster. Some days you want to battle the ultimate challenge, and some days you want a round full of challenging birdies and ace runs. This can be tough to design on one layout, so two courses on site would check this box for me.
Dog-friendly is a bonus for me. And for my dog.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
A course that can be played year round is closer to perfection than a course that is only playable seasonally. A perfect course does not have excessive ticks, biting insects, or poison ivy.
I have zero interest in disc golf courses becoming more like ball golf courses. Also zero interest in amenities like bag hangers, trash cans, etc. Different folks will value different things. I'm OK with that.
