Fun but a bit repetitive. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 20, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Pretty good use of the terrain. Someone has blown the leaves off a strip down the middle of every fairway, which was interesting. The back nine especially has some fun holes where you have to play around some big ravines and other elevation. #13 was probably the most fun, but was very wet when we played.

Cons:

Quite repetitive. Front nine was especially boring.

Other Thoughts:

Not a bad use of some baskets. Would come back if I was in the area.

Get Tight 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 18, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Layout - Overall it's what I call a city park type course that has very tight lines. By city park course I mean there's not really any undergrowth or fairways defined by a solid wood line. However unlike most courses of this type the trees are not spaced very far apart and the lines are very tight.

You'll need to be able to work a disc through early and late gaps to score well. Some holes make you shape lines left to right in a bigger way but for the most part it's straighter lines where you're bending the disc a bit early or moving it a direction late towards the pin.

There's two tees and multiple basket positions on some holes. When I played most of the baskets were in the longs and these were extremely hard to get to because it forced you to work a disc through tight gaps 300' down the fairway.

Elevation comes in to play towards the end of the course and to me this was the best part of the course. There more exciting basket positions on this part of the course due to some crevices and quick but shorter drop offs around greens.

From the looks of the shorter pins it appeared those holes would be much more deucable with less late trouble. I pulled out my fairway driver a lot more on this course than I usually do on holes in the 320' range just because you had to laser beam the disc while working it.

Course flows decently, if you don't have the map it might take you a second to spot the next pad but it's not hard to figure out.

Equipment - The long pads are concrete or ashpault, flat and plenty big for me. Nice and wide how I like em'. There's benches on every hole and trashcans throughout. There's a kiosk at hole 1 with a course map and scorecards that have the correct distances for holes and a course map on the back.

Atmosphere - It's an older park but still in good condition. You play through a piney area that is between the road, some fields and picnic areas. The course does a decent job of keeping you far enough away from all these areas.

Cons:

Layout - My biggest problem with the layout I played was that the longer pins really turn the holes in to tweeners. It would be very hard to deuce them but not overly difficult to par out because of the lack of true rough.

To me a lot of the holes have to much late trouble where it's hard to see the tight line you have to hit from the pad. You can hit the first 80% of a fairway and then work the disc the right way but still hit a tree 30' from the basket.

A lot of the holes kinda blend together on the front 9. Most of the holes are straighter and there's not a ton of variety in the terrain and hole type.

Most of the course is flat until you get to the end.

A few holes are closer to the park road although I don't think it poses that big of a problem.

Sometimes the flow isn't all that great, you backtrack a few times and there's one part (12&15) where without the map it can be confusing as to which hole comes next.

Equipment - The tee signs are old and no longer list the correct distance. They only really help you with which hole you're on. There's no map of the hole which on some would be helpful so make sure you grab a scorecard/map at the beginning.

The baskets are older and probably in need of a new paint job to make them brighter and cover up all the graffiti on them.

The short pads are stumps painted yellow. They're hard to see and the pad areas are natural and often are unlevel or have roots in them.

Atmosphere - It's an aging park and the course is experiencing some erosion. It's not a nice looking wooded course but it's not ugly either. You definitely don't get the secluded feeling I prefer in the woods.

Other Thoughts:

I think the layout is solid but nothing special. If you like tight lines that really challenge your ability to move the disc early and late this is a good course to play.

I think some of the longer pins need rethinking because to me it would seem the course would play with more fun if some holes were more deucable; I took a lot of threes.

Overall I think it's the best course out of the four I played in Fayetteville.

Tale of two courses 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 18, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Benches on every hole.

Easy to navigate from hole to hole

Holes 10 & 13-18 are Excellent. They bring elevation into play and seem to be part of a different course than the rest #13 is a downhill ace run that will make you want to empty your bag throwing at it and is one of my favorite holes to play.

Pin placement on 15 when it is in the long position is just plain cruel and I love it! it sits on a land peninsula only feet from a drop off on 3 sides. It brings a whole new meaning to "death Putt"

The atmosphere of the park its waaaayyy better than Mazerick

Cons:

All of the other holes are kinda boring. Just flat shots through tight fairways(that border on unfair at some times.)

The distance on the tee-signs are inaccurate in some cases(a local told me that the pins have been moved since the original layout on some holes)

The tee-pads themselves are very short and raised which makes run-ups awkward and a follow through could lead to injury.

very few trashcans.

The locals have been moving the pins all over the place so the signs are inaccurate and you never know what course youre gonna be playing. Im not a fan of many of the new positions.

There are short tees(played several times before I heard about them) however they are natural and only marked by cut off stumps that are painted yellow on top. Many of these tees are filled with exposed roots which make them almost to much of a hazard to play. Also some are really hard to find.

Other Thoughts:

Due to the greatness(in my eyes at least) of the last few holes I decided to bump this one up to a 2.5 While the early course is boring and deserves a 2 it sure does surprise you as you get to the end and you come up to these really nice holes that look like there from a completely different course.

Fair on a good day 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 5, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is set around a community park (Baseball feilds, picknic areas, etc...), which provides a great place to play disc golf. The course design is pretty good, good use of the terrain. Hole 13 is worth a step back to enjoy the scenery. There are arrows by the baskets to direct you towards the next tee (always a welcome site in my opinion), although some of the numbers get ahead of themselves.

This course will test your accuracy and technique. Its a good one to dial down and work on getting the disc straight.

Cons:

Hole #1 starts off right by a childrens play ground. On a busy day there will be kids running and playing through the woods where holes #1 thru #6 are located.

Some of the holes (#6 espescially) have no clear path to the chains. So use your throw and pray techniques.

Other Thoughts:

If you are fond of some discs, don't use them if you don't want to hit some trees. Odds are... you WILL hit trees!!

Bring a good attitude! :)

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 25, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are tee signs at each hole, providing hole number and distance to the basket. Two sets of tees on each hole, longer tees are asphalt, while the rec tees are natural. Course was fairly easy to navigate, even without a map.

The fairways are defined, despite the tightly wooded course. Some elevation changes on the back nine, as well as OB areas marked by the road. The course is separated from the rest of the park, so there shouldn't be too much pedestrian traffic to worry about.

This course is located in a nice family park, with ample parking and plenty of other activities to do for the non disc golfing family members. Bathrooms located near the course.

Cons:

The Tee pad for #13 is hard to find, and might be missed if you aren't paying attention. Some next tee signs are incorrect and can be a little misleading. On some of the holes, there is a lot of foliage that may make finding your disc on an errant throw difficult.

Other Thoughts:

I thought this was the best of the Fayetteville area courses, which isn't saying much in my opinion, because the other two are one star rated at best. This course is fairly flat and well shaded, so it doesn't get too hot during the summer.

I thought too many of the holes faded to the right, and they started becoming a bit repetitive, and didn't provide enough of a challenge to use other shots. The holes aren't particularly long, but accuracy is at a premium as most wooded courses are. Perfect throws will lead to fairly easy birdie attempts.

The course is very convenient to I-95 and is a nice diversion if you need a break from driving to play a little disc golf.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 12, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Every hole is in the shade, making for a good summer course. The course does not interfere with the rest of the park, although the main park road is in play on a few holes. Conveniently located close to I-95.

Cons:

The holes get fairly repetitive. A few holes have some character due to elevation change and nearby creeks, but for the most part, it's just straight through the trees. Many holes don't have much of a fairway. Hole #13 is susceptible to flooding, rendering the hole unplayable at times. The #1 tee is hard to find if you don't know where you're going.

Other Thoughts:

A good course to play if you're already in Fayetteville, but probably not worth it if you're coming from out of town.
