John Houck has been designing courses since the mid 1980's. Disc golf course design was much simpler back then. Now, with major changes in disc technology, player skill, and park usage, course design is a much more complicated proposition. While designs will continue to evolve to meet the growth of the sport and the needs of the society, every disc golf course has to have a foundation in some basic principles. Unfortunately, many courses don’t have that foundation. John has been writing about course design and teaching course design to other designers for over three decades.
Dee Leekha-Houck is an industry leading consultant offering disc golf expertise to disc golf clubs, private course owners, individual designers, municipalities, counties, and anyone who is interested in offering a course.
