This course has plenty to offer. A sprawling layout takes you through the rolling pine hills and hardwoods and makes great use of throwing over, through, up and down the available terrain. A very fun course layout.

Some challenging tight fairways through the woods, some open shots, and plenty of tough mando shots that really force some interesting lines.

The back 9 gets a bit tougher than the front, and the terrain really comes in to play. A throw over a gulley, a tough uphill shot right off the tee, and a few throws downhill with some fast greens to boot. There are no challenging distances really, but the tight fairways, tempting basket locations and uphill/downhill shots can really add strokes to your score here.

As much as I like this course, it does leave something to be desired.

The tee pads are pavers. Although it could be worse, there are still a few gripes here. They aren't quite long enough for a big run up, and after rain they can certainly be slick. Hole #9's pad was underwater at the time I played. Bummer

Some of the old tee signs are still in tact, and are actually pretty neat. Old wood planks on the ground with some paint and engraving add to the charm of the course, but...there are several that aren't in great shape anymore, and don't do any good.

Navigation. Although most of the next tee pads are in close proximity to the prior basket, the tee pads that aren't don't have any directional help. I would recommend playing with a guide, or being patient in finding the next tee pad in a few holes.

The forced difficulty on some holes from the use of mandos is a bit cheesy. Some U-turn holes (#3) and awkward J shape holes can be annoying.

I really did enjoy playing this course. It is a fun layout through the woods that isn't overly difficult. The advanced player should breeze through this course, the intermediate should shoot around par, and the beginner will be tested.

If you're in the area, I'd definitely stop by and play a quick round. The close proximity to Rankin Lake can make for a great half day trip from Charlotte.

Would recommend this course, as I think it has a lot to offer, and could be even better with just a bit of work.

Layout - It's a tale of two nines here at Bradley Center. You start off on the front side of the park and the holes weave near/beside the park entrance road up towards the entrance then back to the parking lot.

There's a few good holes on that front nine which gives you mostly shorter wooded holes in what I consider mostly park style; getting off the fairway isn't very punished.

There's a bit of elevation change on the front nine but not a lot. There's also a par 4 thrown in to mix things up which is pretty much two short placement shots.

Then you hit the back 9 and you're finally playing some solid golf. The final 9 weaves through the back of the park which is a much more secluded wooded setting.

The lines are way more interesting and they make you work the disc a bit. Bigger and sudden elevation changes come in to play and give this nine a lot more character than the front.

The par 4's in the back are still shorter placement shots but require more thought and accuracy.

Overall the course is mostly a good place to work on your mid/putter game. I think it finishes really well with the final few holes being some of the best.

Equipment - Tees are paver blocks and decent. The holes are marked by colored 4x4 posts. Baskets seemed in good shape. There's a community center right there at the parking lot with amenities.

Atmosphere - I like the back 9 in terms of atmosphere, it's more secluded and a nice walk through with quirky elevation changes.

Layout - Most of my problems with the course are with the front 9. First of all it's just ho hum boring and secondly you're playing most of it near the park road.

Some of the fairways were trying to hard and some didn't try hard enough. There's just nothing redeeming about it.

The second 9 was much better but it still lacked any real length or challenge to make the course more balanced.

Equipment - Not a huge fan of paver stone tees. No real tee signs. No other little extras.

Atmosphere - The front 9 is not where I like to disc golf, it's to close to the park road too many times.

After the front 9 I would of given this course a 2.5 maybe even a 2. The back 9 saves it and kicks it up to a 3 for me.

I think it's a good course to play if you're local but definitely not something worth going out of your way for. It's just average.

Holes were spaced out decently and had a lot of challenge to them.

No signs telling you where to find next tee. No signs at tee box to show you hole lay out (some had them). Definitely bring a can of OFF and a walking stick, mosquitos tore me up and im sure during warmer months you will find a copperhead near the creek and brush piles.

Other than bugs and not having a can of OFF with me, i enjoyed the exercise. Needs a little more clearing out in areas of course to keep bugs and snakes down.

Very well designed course in terms of land available and shot variety. Fairways are easily spotted thanks to great maintenance of brush clearing and the laying down of wood chips. It's a fun little mix of shots and the course surprised me with the clever use of elevation. Predominately wooded ranging from fairly tight to moderately wooded, only a few holes resemble open. What open holes there are, they do a nice job with pin placement to spice it up and avoid the drab, token field hole.

I was surprised at how scenic the course is, especially the back 9 shines in this regard and it's a nice, cheery park overall. I even encountered some wildlife in the form of a box turtle on #13 that did not seem to appreciate my Opto Pain crashing down around it.

More fun than challenging, although there are some really smartly designed holes here, #1 and #13 are textbook examples of sweeping hyzers that get many DG'ers salivating. Absolutely love the horseshoes and especially the switchback, s-curve hole #15. There are not enough switchback holes IMO, time to hone those flex shot skills.

Still a little rough in places, watch your step for holes, stobs, and tree trunks that aren't quite flush with the ground.

Natural tees are in good shape but a few holes, #10 in particular, are a bit rutted out.

A few holes on the front 9 play near the park road which is considered a con by some. Also, there is a bit of a trek b/w hole 9 and 10, but for someone who learned to play at Castle Hayne, I'm very used to a walk to the parking lot b/w the front and back 9's so I really didn't notice. I've seen much worse (Middle Creek, cough, cough).

Seems to favor righties, especially the 2 horseshoes. Holes aren't too repetitive but there's not many holes that call for a big turnover or anny which I miss.

I'm not a fan of hole #7. You're almost asking to nail a car entering the park if you really, really, go for it.

I think BikinJack and the Gaston Co. boys have done a bang up job overall; for the space provided it's masterfully done IMO. I'd really rate this somewhere like a 3.33 and anticipate a 3.5 in the future if concrete tees are poured and signage, etc is in full force. It's more a fun course than a challenging course and as such it's more of a "I'd love this to be my homecourse to blow off stress" type as opposed to a destination course like Nevin, Renny, etc where you feel like you deserve a t-shirt for the infamous experience. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a fun, pleasant round you can't beat it for this area.

The layout of the fairways is decent. There are a few that are really tight and technical, but short enough to throw controlled drives and cut the corners. Not a bad new course for the area but it's gonna take a few rounds to get familiar with the layout. I especially liked hole #12. It's a short par 3, but the flight path is over a ravine. Steps have been built into the side to retrieve a disc from the bottom.

There are no concrete pads or signs at the tees, yet. Rumor has it that these amenities will be added in the near future. Also there is no kiosk or course maps available, so it was difficult to follow the links. Lucky for us there were a group of people who had played before getting ready to start, so we all played as a group. Didn't like the location of the basket for hole 18. It's right near a pavilion and an errant disc could end up invading someone's cookout.

This course is fairly easy to get to from I-85 and it's worth the trip. Hole #1 is to the left of the main building just inside the tree line. Be careful overthrowing some of the baskets as many of the holes are very overgrown beyond the greens.
