I mean, even 15 years ago the majority of US courses were 'guerrilla' courses. Basically, metal poles arranged in a forest or some other piece of marginal land and likely illegal or questionable in regards to its installation. People would just set out some 'tone' poles out in the woods or where ever and make up some other spots as 't-pads'. Eventually some one brings out some carpet and a 't-pad' becomes more legit. Eventually a community group forms around clearing the brush and debris from the course. Maybe they team up with the local parks and rec division and get some help. A few years later the disc golf course is a prime asset to the community and it becomes official. Redwood Curtain, Peregrine Point, hell even world famous DeLaveaga all started out this way. A close friend of mine used to say "If a course didn't start out as a garbage dump, its probably not worth playing"
