what a waste 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 17, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Layout - Can really test your short/technical game. Lots of super tight lines that you really have to work a disc to hit. There are a few solid disc golf holes out here and I can say that a lot of holes certainly give you a look you probably haven't seen before.

There actually are some nice elevation changes here which is weird for the beach.

Equipment - Shiniest trashcans I've ever seen.. and there's a ton of them. When in doubt on where to go next just look for the traschans which are at every hole.

Brand new nice baskets. Pads are hexagon rubber things which work well for here... no point in wasting more resources like concrete on this place.

Atmosphere - Nice park, bathroom facilities. Has a new look/feel to it. It's sandy and has typical beach type trees everywhere.

Cons:

Layout - Did I read that they actually hired somebody to design this course? They should of just bought a bunch of drugs and then designed this place because it would of turned out better and they would of had a good time.

There's some holes where you try to figure out how in the hell you can make a disc do that. Then there's some even worst holes where you to try to figure out if you should just laugh at how dumb it is and move on to the next hole or if you should just leave.

... should of left.

If they took 500 trees off this (short rec level) course it might be decently playable. It's just not designed well. There's multiple trees within 3' of most baskets. You could describe the fairways in terms of pinball and be more accurate. I don't really get how this is a beginner course. If kids or beginners play it they might never play again.

The best holes on this course are decent at best... that says a lot. If I could describe this course in one sentence it would be "it's short and what the hell were they thinking."

Equipment - There's no signs yet; though you don't really need them unless most of them say either "it's right there throw a putter" OR "it's right there and impossible so who gives a damn"

It might have been better if they just used the trashcans as targets and put the new baskets up at Castle Hayne.

Atmosphere - It's kind of a dreary setting in some parts.. maybe it's because i was at the beach in winter or because this course sucks so much you just can't feel good about any part of it.

Other Thoughts:

Don't even go here, just play Castle Hayne twice. If anyone who has the power to change this course reads this for the love of Ken Climo make this course beginner friendly so you don't turn an entire generation against us.

Open but not ready 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 7, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice new baskets. Short course is quite easy for most players but is a good course for beginners.

Cons:

Virtually no fairways. You toss from the tee and then walk through the woods. Some holes are even dog legs with absolutely no fairways to shoot for. After you are done with a hole it is difficult to find the next tee box on several holes.

Other Thoughts:

This course needs a lot more maintenance before it will be in any kind of shape to play. It will take more than just a bunch of disc players stomping down the vegetation to get this course playable. It still needs some heavy equipment. Then, signage would help.
