Lizard don't be afraid to ask for help....
Designing a course should be done by a certified designer, there are some around, get a hold of Bill Paulson or Buddy Kasner, they may be willing to design something for you. Doing it yourself may be a costly experience..... moving pins & teepads can suck!

PM me if you want their contact info.....

We don't change our wichita courses without consulting these 2 guys.....

Here is a link that can get you insurance for a weekend. You would have to sanction it as a PDGA event to use their insurance.

Simple you put a handful of marbles in your mouth, each course you design you spit out a marble, ... when you have lost all your marbles...

But seriously read this...... there is such a thing.... an exerpt is below

"The PDGA reports that there are some 1350 disc golf courses now in existence around the globe, which is tripled from the 1995 count. Such growth is most welcomed by the disc golf community. However, with increased growth comes the need to insure that these new courses adhere to established PDGA guidelines, as well as environmental and community concerns. Using a Certified Disc Golf Course Designer is probably the safest way to make sure the design, proposal, and installation of a course is done properly. With the training and certification a course designer brings to the project, issues can be anticipated and addressed before they become a problem. These are issues that may not even surface when using a naïve designer. "

Did they take a class, test, seminar? What did they do?

I know people who have designed courses or improved courses. Does that mean they are certified course designers?
