I have played more than one of those courses that are full of trees. They can be a bit of a pain, but it allows you to work on your short game versus just seeing how far you can throw the disc. I think my wife and I might try to hit a new course this weekend while we are camping. If you haven't downloaded it, you should check out the UDisc app. It shows you all the courses near wherever you are and gives you ratings and maps for them. The pay version gives you a bit more options, but if you are just starting out the free version is fine.
