Choose an xc course to remove from existence, all of its results, history, and future meets. Nobody would ever talk about or run on that course again.

Woodbridge - kids run ridiculously fast times early. Then, never get close to those times the rest of the year.
Keep it a soccer complex.
I feel like this post was made as bait. Of course people are going to say woodbridge.

Mt SAC unless they change it or if they did it's fine.
With Woodbridge, Laguna Hills and Dana Hills, along with dual meet courses, you could prepare for a kick. Mt. SAC at least in HS is too winding for a planned kick.
1. Hereford.
2. Any course not 3.0000 or 3.10686 miles. Preferably the latter.

Lol. I liked Woodbridge.. that final grassy stretch had me in a final sprint against a guy from Savanna and and a guy from Diamond Bar. Lol we were in the 23 range but XC is XC.
Woodbridge. When you have a meet where kids AND coaches AND parents are all complaining because a course is too long and they don't get to run fast, you know its a problem.
You think the Kenyon's care how long their courses are?? The sport should be about who can move their body the quickest from point A to point B, regardless of time.
None of this crap about kids feeling entitled to PR at certain courses should be tolerated

If that's the complaint then Laguna Hills felt much more difficult in length than Woodbridge.
Mt Sac. It's not the hardest course ever, get over it.

the better teams / the teams that want to go to nxn / they don't peak for woodbridge. Look at San Clemente / Dana Hills / Trabuco Hills times today at Orange County Championships, 3 mile.

.75 miles of twisty uphill? It's hard... but no..I agree. Anyone from North County SD who ran the Palomar College course would likely say to scrap it... it's a can't breathe course lol
Any and every course that does endless loops around baseball fields at small sports complex parks. Specifically the course that La Costa Canyon High School calls "Maverick Meadows" at San Dieguito Sports Complex. Two baseball fields and a softball field don't make a good cross country course, and hay bales don't make it any better.
Every course in South Carolina

Post of the year. Now let's get back to insulting each other.
Running Lane because it made grass tracks a trend
It is funny how woodbridge and mt sac (the two largest invitationals in the nation) are hated for the exact opposite reason. People hate woodbridge because it is the easiest course in the nation. People hate mt sac because because it is the hardest course in the nation.
Detweiler’s 2.96 mile course they claim is 3 miles.

Isn't that where Craig Virgin ran 13:50 3 mile? That was the high school national 3 mile record until woodbridge came along. Craig Virgin is a diehard believer that woodbridge is short, but its actually longer than the course he ran on...
Audubon Park has a flat fast short course that Jesuit runs on. Kudos for them but not the guy who overhyped them and saying it is a difficult course. It is if you trip over tree roots.
