It almost goes without saying that one of the first things you have to do is identify where the course is going to be built. It may seem obvious ("we're going to build it right here"), until you get into the details of construction and layout, conservation approval and more.

One little suggestion is to use 4' stakes or sticks pounded into the ground to mark proposed basket locations. Place a large plastic bottle, or bucket on the pole to make a temporary target that is visible, and even throwable if there is already a good 'line' for the hole. For tees, you can place small landscape marker flags (the little colored flags on wire) in the ground, but they are not very visible at all until you're stepping on them so they are not useful as target markers. Remember to bring a sharpie to write on the flags.
