Pros:
-Black Mountain YMCA DGC is located on a fantastic piece of property. There are creeks, a pond, and pretty trails through the woods.
-There are a lot of short to midrange shots here with a few holes in the 100s, most holes in the 250 range, and a few 300-350 holes. Some accurately placed shots will leave you feeling pretty good about yourself.
-The holes at Black Mountain, while short, are well-designed. There's a good variety of terrain, with open, wooded, a bit of elevation, and water in play on several holes.
-New DISCatchers on every hole in the seldom-seen blue color.
-This course has a very quiet and relaxed feel to it when no campers are present.

Cons:
-Transitions here between holes are very tricky and there are long distances between holes at times. You should definitely download the map under the links/files tab.
-There's a decent amount of ups and downs transitioning between holes, but not a ton of elevated shots on the holes themselves.

Other Thoughts:
There really is space here for a top-notch course, but unfortunately you are left with a typical, 18-hole course. It's a fun play, but leaves you wanting more. It is, however, well-suited to the camp's purpose of beginner-friendly.
While here I spoke with a couple of employees and they said the course is unplayable April-October as they have 100s of kids on site each week and stay booked. This course is currently still private as you MUST be a guest of the resort, however, they are talking about having a check-in system instituted during the off season giving the general public the opportunity to play.

Pros:
Absolutely beautiful location. The YMCA land is a huge stretch of old forest and you get to play around some of the property's features. A great adventure. Great baskets, decent tees.
Cons:
Not an expert course design by any means. A few repetitive/boring (wide open and flat) holes. Not easy to navigate w/o knowing where you're going (I created a course map so check that out first!). Tee pads are mulch so can be hazardous.
Other Thoughts:
A great time if you want to walk around and enjoy the scenery. Wish it was designed a bit better.
