In my opinion, people shouldn't list courses here unless they have personally played them - or at least will be personally playing them within the next couple of days. That basically prevents the issue with duplicate courses getting listed, among other reasons. But that's just my $0.02 and I know this debate has happened before on other threads.
To address the OP, adding a course is easy to do.
1. Search the course map, checking the options to show temporary courses and practice areas as well as the permanent and seasonal ones (for bonus points, also use the non-map search to find any matching Extinct ones - this actually happened to me once).
2. If nothing pops up, the course does not exist on here. Click "Add a Course" (under the Courses tab) to add it.
3. Fill out all the info.
Like sisyphus said, we should also make sure that we have the owner's permission to add it if the course is private. I don't like seeing courses that are never open to the general public (i.e. a random person cannot even call and set up a tee time) being listed here, or UDisc for that matter.
There's a 3 hole course(?) very near me that I'll never be able to play. It's at Argonne National Laboratory behind a high fence with armed guards at the gates. The lab property is surrounded by a forest preserve that my family has been visiting since I was a kid. So frustrating to know that there's a (probably lousy) course right there that I'll never play.
I don't know that we shouldn't list them here, because some people can gain access and play. It's just a tiny slice of the population, but if I could play it, I'd definitely want to check it off the list here. Imagine others would too.
By far the best premium perk on dgcr is the hide already played filter. Seeing that **** Argonne course pop up right down the road when I've cleared the rest of the Chicago area is a thorn in my side. I know it's silly, but I'm trying to play 'em all, **** it!
Maybe hide them unless you check a box or something?
