Lots of diverse lines and distances, In and out of the woods. Beautiful property.

Could use some cleanup but I actually enjoyed the "natural" feel compared to many super manicured courses.

Great variety of shots (open and wooded), super aesthetically pleasing, very well-maintained. The course is challenging and rewards good shots.

Currently without tee pads at many of the holes but this will probably be resolved rather quickly. Some of the holes feel too short/easy, however, this creates a must-birdie feel with a potential risk-reward ace run, so I get the appeal.

Owner was interested, respectful, and easy to get in touch with. I enjoyed the course and will be coming back!

Very challenging and rewarding. Some really tough wooded holes that are really fun to figure out. Other holes are wide open and still challenging due to the hills and valleys. It's a beautiful course. We loved it!

Wear comfortable hiking shoes. Lots of slick leaves on the wooded hills. Bring snacks. This monster will make you hungry.

There's also a fun tiki course for all levels of players to enjoy.

Private land and 18 holes of fun. Bonus "Tiki" course to work on your putter game.
The place keeps your woods game in check. Good mix of elevation and holes although mostly woods. The place is well kept and well worth any greens fees. You can pick up course stamped discs!

Are trees a con? Maybe when you need to hit a gap 80 ft out.... It can get tight in a spot or two. Not too cart friendly.

Very fun course to play. A new challenge on each hole. I think the course hits all marks with regards to being wooded, open, short, long, and elevation changes.

In the fall and winter months the leaves can make it challenging to find your disc but I have only lost one.

The course owner is a great guy and has 9 hole tiki tournaments regularly.

Private course that also contains the family Christmas Tree farm.
Good DISCatchers, the bands and flags really help spotting the holes in the woods.
Mix of tee pads, the ones with pavers are pretty good.
Good mix of hole types, 9 heavily wooded, 6 open or mostly open and 3 partially wooded. Also good use of the elevation on the property.
Outside of Christmas Tree season, course is exclusive to Disc Golf, I was the only one playing the day I was there.
Short Par 3 Tiki course, that can be played at night, before or after your round.
Very friendly owner, met me as I pulled in, gave me an overview of the course and invited me back soon.

The one tee sign at #1 is very good, unfortunately this was the only one.
Several of the wooded holes on the front nine have little to no fairway. #1,#5 and #8 are especially very tough to find a line to hit and if you are off the intended line, you are scrambling big time.
A few of the short, open holes on the back nine are pretty close together. Pretty creative how the owner made them unique, including at least 1 "island" green, but I could see some errant throws coming in from other holes.

As mentioned previously, it's a great property for Disc Golf, woods, open fields and enough elevation change to affect your shots. The First tee is near the parking lot and #18 finishes right next to the Tiki course, so it's a no brainer to play that after your round.
I believe the owner has even set up a room/cabin, if you want to stay a while. Pretty sure camping is also allowed on the property.
There are some very challenging wooded holes:
#5 - just 335', Par 4, but it is uphill and heavily wooded. If you tee shot finds the fairway, you have a shot at the basket in a small clearing.
#10 - narrow, uphill drive to an equally tight fairway on a sidehill, that begs for a rollaway. Par 4 at 436', its tough to get an upshot close, even with the basket out in the clearing.
There are also some unique holes, well designed on the property:
#9 is a 151' Par 3, small elevated tee to the basket on the next small ridge, guarded by trees and rocks, a fun little shot.
One of the signature holes here is the Par 4, 500' 12th, it features a nice long tee pad on this wide open hole. The fairway drops away a little off the tee, then a gradual uphill to the basket. The grass is cut narrow at first, then a wider fairway after that, if you miss this wide fairway, then you've lost your runup. A beautiful view from the tee (pic is on the site), with the owner's house in the distance.
#17 and #18 both finish as challenging holes, narrow (but not tight) fairways to guarded baskets. You will earn your score on these two holes.
There are not a lot of Pay to Play courses in North Carolina, so if you are playing the oldest course in the state (Horizon Park, just a few miles away), stop by The Black Widow and help out a DG owner, its well worth the money.

Has something for everyone. Some wooded technical, some open, some long, some short, some uphill, some downhill. There are a couple island holes with drop zones. Awesome fairways & one unfair way. lol
Every time I've played there it's been well manicured.

In the late fall there are a lot of leaves. A couple holes you may want a spotter. But over the years I've only lost 2 discs there, and both were returned.

The owner is a veteran, and has been very cordial every time I've played there.
There is also a 9 hole tiki course that lights up at night.
Camping is available.

This course offers plenty of diversity to test any skilled disc golfer. While I personally remember the OG days of this course, it has aged well. Changes are unavoidable and the changes here have been great. Elevation, Shot shaping and technical game play should be expected here.

Hole 1 is a poke and hope over the mountain laurel. Outside of that, no other issues.

I'd definitely recommend playing here. I've watched this course transform over the past decade. Robert keeps it in playable shape and free of obstructions. There is also a Tiki Disc golf course and they sell Christmas Trees. Support local!

Beautiful views. Friendly owners. A great mix of holes for every skill level. Short ones and long ones along with easy lines and hard lines to hit.

There is always room for improvement. There is a few trees that could be taken down on a few holes.

I love this course. Just get through the first 5 holes if your not to good. (there very hard)
The owners are so nice. I thought I lost my money clip somewhere on the course and he helped me look for a long time, when I'm sure he had other things to do! A definite "have to play" if your are from the area or just passing through.

The Black Widow is a private course that combines some challenging wooded holes with a decent blend of open holes that incorporate elevation well.

The first five holes are heavily wooded and some of the most difficult on the course. The first four holes average around 250 feet in length, but they require some specific throws to weave your way through the web of woods to get near the basket. Hole #5 is the toughest of the bunch; it's about 400 feet and has plenty of teeth. The fifth hole will be menacing if you wander off the ideal route and get caught in the mesh since the hole ascends slowly toward an opening in the woods with the basket in a precarious spot.

Hole #7 is one of the signature holes at Black Widow. It's wide open but features a huge teepad and a hole that goes over a large grassy valley toward the basket on the other side positioned not far from the tree line.

The back nine features some more open holes, including a couple of ace runs with putters that use elevation as the great equalizer to force a decision between being aggressive and hunting for chains versus going conservative and aiming for an ideal landing zone where a devious rollaway isn't part of the equation.

The course ends with a couple of challenging holes that have well defined tree-lined fairways, which was a perfect setup for our closely-contested doubles match.

The owner has recently added a rake to every teepad in the woods to help keep the leaves away.

Par is set at 58, which includes four par 4s, and that seems like a reasonable number. The course can be a little more demanding than it seems like it should be. Over on UDisc, the best score for the year is a six-down 52.

A couple of the wooded holes near the beginning were a bit overgrown and seem to lack defined lines. My group of first-time-visitors had to scout out a couple of the basket locations before throwing and even then, the best route wasn't immediately clear. Our group used a spotter on several of those holes. Tree kicks may end up sending one's disc into an unfortunate location where finding your disc and deciding on a scrambling escape presents an issue.

The teepads are a mix between brick pavers and gravel. However, the owner said he's in the process of updating a few of the teepads with either more concrete pavers or padded turf.

Holes #13 to 16 utilize the side of a hill and might take a minute to figure out, since multiple baskets can be spotted from different views. Also, navigation isn't intuitive in a few spots, so keep the course map handy.

There's only one tee sign, but it's at Hole #1 and looks really cool with a funky font and the Black Widow Course spider logo. The owner said he's planning to add more tee signs soon.

While some might see the $5 fee as a con, visiting the Black Widow site was a pleasurable opportunity definitely worth the price of admission. While the course also requires a reservation ahead of time, I appreciated that we had the course to ourselves when we visited.

Before our round, we enjoyed chatting with the hospitable owner. He met us at the parking lot, gave us an overview of the course and then invited us to check out the tiki course after our round. Afterward, he explained the tiki course rules and cranked up some music to add to the experience.

The Tiki course is an added bonus of the property. It's nine short holes of about 50 to 100 feet with several "house rules" incorporated to make the pitch-n-putt layout a fun little experience that can be enjoyed by everyone. The house rules for various holes include a drop zone, an "add-a-stroke" penalty ring, a circular mando in a huge net and a couple other quirky features.

Very beautiful scenic course, you will enjoy some your time at the black widow. The owner is always making improvements and the hospitality is always top notch. A must play if you are in NC.

Some of the holes on the front nine need some more fair lines, but overall this course is a challenge.

If you are looking to play a challenging disc golf course, The Black Widow is your place.

This is a great course on the private property of one of the OG's of the Triad Disc Golf Community. This course does not disappoint. There is a large variety of shots that need to be made and will test most every skill in your bag. The course owner makes regular improvements and if you catch it on the right week, you may find yourself on his Tiki-Course one night.

Very few cons. As a matter of fact, I can't even think of one right now.

When you arrive here, please take time look around at the beautiful surroundings. It is a wonderful place to play. Don't let it go to your head though. This course is highly challenging. It is not really cart friendly, but cart possible. Don't just show up, reserve ahead. You won't be disappointed!

Awesome private course in NC. Great hills, tight fairways, challenging holes.

Some of the fairways are tight, but as you develop your game they are not that bad. It's a good challenge.

This course is located on the Grigg Family Christmas Tree Farm. We get our Christmas Trees and wreaths here every year!

As the title says, I really enjoy a course that has a little of everything. The 'Widow' does not disappoint. There is a decent amount of elevation, some right & left turns, a few tunnels, and a few open holes, too. You will use every shot you have. The course is very scoreable, but there are plenty of bogeys lurking behind bad tee shots, too.

A couple of the holes have VERY tight fairways. Be prepared to get creative.

If you've not played this gem, you should give it a try. Owner is continually making improvements.
