Lots of Poke and Pray drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 28, 2023 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Exceedingly clean porta John on site.
- Putting practice basket and driving net just off parking lot.
- Full color map at practice area.
- Short (yellow), long (red), and kids (green) tees and short and long baskets on almost every hole.
- Tee pads are mostly flat and grippy paving blocks in a "box" with tees pad color painted on the front box boards.
- Tee signs are lovely with footage and lines noted.
- Bridges are placed where needed and are well built and plenty wide enough for carts.
- Clear lines off the tee for most holes.
- Creative and well guarded basket placement, especially for the red baskets.
- Reasonable hole length given the heavily wooded nature of most of the course.
- The front 9 circles back to the parking lot for short rounds or bathroom breaks.
- Navigation is mostly straight forward and most yellow baskets had orange tape on the lower rung showing direction to the next tee. There were also lots of Next Tee arrows, if you paid close attention.
- Amusing little details like Jake's Tree, Tim's Bush, Amen Corner, Stink's Crossing, The 3 Stooges, and Mando Bobba Fett with This Is The Way signs throughout the course.
- 90% cart friendly.

Cons:

- Once past the clear lane off the tee, much of the course is poke-and-pray with trees everywhere.
- A few of the long tees haven't yet been converted from carpeting to paver boxes.
- Several of the red baskets are REALLY well hidden.
- 1, 10, and 18 are all VERY close together.
- Navigation got a bit strange between 12 and 13. The red tee for 13 is visible, but not yet marked as red. Turn right at the red tee, go a few yards, then go right over the little hillock to find the hidden yellow tee.
- Navigation suffers again at 16. Take the right hand (upper) path to the yellow tee and leave carts near the bench. The little bridge off the tee had 1 broken board the first day, with that board and the next completely removed 2 days later.
- The sand on 13 and 16 is a nightmare for run ups and carts.
- The yellow basket on 18 has red stickers on the rim, making it look like the red basket. The red is actually up on the hill to the right and behind the yellow.

Other Thoughts:

The heavily wooded nature of this course makes for challenging and somewhat frustrating play, but the shorter distances of the yellow/yellow combos mostly makes up for the frustration. Wind is likely in play on 16 on all but the calmest days. Our group of 4 liked it enough to play a second day rather than try another course (even at +26 :-D ). The course is pretty busy except for early in the morning, but everyone was friendly and chill.

Nice addition to OBX 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 5, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Tremendous amount of work has been put into making this course. It's been carved out of a wooded and marshy piece of land. Getting off fairway can be tough but very few places where underbrush is overly difficult.

The course is pretty tight and some holes could use a few more trees removed but overall the course is fair.

Nice variety of left, right and straight layouts.

Good use of the little terrain they had to work with - such as baskets or pads on slight raised mound,

Easy navigation with next hole signs.

Good signage, and benches.

Cons:

Given that most of the course is carved out of the woods and flat, the course can feel a little redundant after multiple 200-250' tight wooded fairways.

Pads are still a work in progress. Some have small pieces of carpet. One has pavers but it's raised and a little small. Not a huge issue since the course doesn't require many 300+' ft drives.

Other Thoughts:

Hole 16 is the one really memorable hole. It's too bad the course couldn't have a couple more holes that extend into the sand dunes of the state park next door.

There's plans for extra tee pads and second baskets on many holes but currently the extra pads and some of the second baskets aren't cleared enough to use.

Overalll the course is still a work in progress and while I don't see it ever being more than a 3.5 it has potential and I'll bring my discs every time I come to OBX.
