Disc Golf Course Chronology

This page is intended to start a discussion about the chronological order of courses installed in Wisconsin.  The first ten courses were added between 1978 and 1991, then the next 50 were added between 1991 and 2003 and in the most recent ten years over 110 more were added.  Here is a list of courses as we have determined including install dates:

In the 1980s and 1990s the PDGA had regional tournaments, and the regional coordinator organized the tournament schedule. In 1996, state coordinators were added to organize each state's events. Pete Boersma was the first Wisconsin State Coordinator from 1996-1999. His first task was to create a state map, the 2003 version is shown below, so the PDGA could have an updated database of courses in each state.

1978 - 2003 Added 61 Courses
