As the PDGA site is still down... any insights/suggestions of courses around there?

Play the Albert Oakland Park courses.  There are two 18's at the same spot.  The course that is further east plays a lot tougher than the other one.  I didn't play the one further east all the way through because it was cold (played it in December).  Supposedly there are some nice courses further west in Kansas City.

That's the course info for one of the courses - I think that's the one that is further east (not sure though!)

It's been a while, but the original Albert-Oakland course is called the front course and tees off up by the swimming pool and parking lot.  The back course plays through the woods on the south end of the park.  I've never thought of one being more east of the other, but the back course does play father to the east.  The back course is newer and a more challenging course.  The front course is pretty decent for a 1980 course.  Both are good courses.  Neither are great courses.  Miller Park in Jefferson City is another pretty all around OK course in the area.  All three are better than Indian Hills IMO.  Indian Hills has "eastern" wooded holes (think ridiculously tight) while the other courses have strangely wide fairways in the woods.  All of them would be better courses if they could find a happy balance with that.Really all four of those courses are nice courses which will neither have you return bitching about how terrible disc golf in central Missouri is or raving about how great it is.  I bought my first golf disc when I was in college from Rick Rothstein at Albert-Oakland Park about 20 years ago.  One of these days I'll learn how to throw it.
