Hope the PDGA approves of kids under 13 here. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 10, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

When it comes right down to it, there probably are very few courses in all of North Carolina anyone would rather play than Casey Logan.
- Location, location, location. There really isn't a bad day here. You're on the Outer Banks.
- Layout. A heavily wooded layout. Other than the sand dunes on #16, it seems like 17 holes of shot shaping around pines and oaks.
- Dual tees and multi basket locations. This creates lots of layout possibilities. Short layout is 4800 feet. Long layout is 50% longer, at 7200 feet.
- Solid tee signs. Most holes have 'next tee' signs, which are extremely helpful with some fairways so close together. Bridges to cross muddy/wet areas. Brooms on many tee pads.
- High risk/reward factor. With all the trees in play, a shot several feet off line hits a tree and skips deep in the woods. That said, with a lot of holes not having underbrush, you can get creative with your lines - throwing low to the ground/rollers, cutting in small gaps between trees, or tomahawking above the trees.
- The back nine is far longer, and frankly, more enjoyable. And varied. From the longs, the front nine only has two holes longer than 400 feet. The back nine has five longer than 400, including two in the 500s, one at 649, and one at 791. #18 is an excellent closing, multi-shot, 649-foot par 5. Well laid out design.
- Among the highlights of creative pin layouts - #3, 13, & 18 have baskets on raised mounds, #14's basket is feet from the water (a stunning backdrop), and #15 is a hanging basket.

Cons:

You notice how I'm vague with my hole by hole description? That's what happens when one hole after another seemingly feels the same. Yeah, it's feels like a broken record.
- Some confusion with layouts. The short layout is marked by yellow tees and baskets. The longs are red tees and baskets. On some holes tees have both red and yellow marking, meaning a single tee pad. On some holes baskets have a red markings on a standard yellow (gold) basket. Then, there are pink baskets on some holes. Did they run out of reds? Then, on #9, you have a yellow basket with red tape and a separate red basket beyond that. What's up with that?
- Hole lengths are all over the board. Between tee signs, DGCR, and UDisc, there was a wide variety of listed distances. Generally, they were in agreement. Then, you get instances like #14. Tee sign listed hole at 335 feet. DGCR and UDisc were at 540 feet. Tee sign was wrong here.
- Some tee signs were missing. And, where was the basket for #16 long?
- Can the tee maps be more accurate too? Needless confusion with some of these issues.

Other Thoughts:

Generally, this is a nice course. Casey Logan has some very good aspects. The lesser portions aren't bad, just repetitive.
- There is inconsistency with the longer tees. Some are carpeted. Some are uneven. Some are easy to spot. Some aren't. I'm all for adding a second, longer layout. On a couple holes it's clear they're trying to cram too much in and would do better with a single layout.
- Plenty of birdies to be had playing the short tees. Also, coming from Charlotte, I thought the majority of fairways were more than generous. No hope and poke layouts.
- #15's hanging basket is nice. Too bad the tee sign didn't indicate it was there. So I threw for the only visible basket to discover I was throwing to the wrong spot.
- #1 is a good opening hole. #9 is a great closing hole on the front side. That small murky water on the left is a lost disc waiting to happen. Thankfully, I missed the water by 3 feet. #10 is a fine opening hole on the back side. And #18 is a solid closer. Other than that, a lot of ok-ness.
- I saw a basket for the proverbial 19th hole. Not sure if there's a proverbial tee as well. Or it's just there for fun and throw offs.
- Coming into the course, it's cool seeing the Wright Brothers National Memorial atop of the hill. I had just visited there earlier in the day so it was weird seeing it as the backdrop to a neighborhood/local setting. And to get to the course, you pass First Flight Elementary and First Flight Middle. Much more exciting school names than your standard generic ones.
- This is an excellent vacation course. It's not too demanding, but it's a fun play. You want to escape the family, it's good for that. You want to bring the kids along, as I did, they'll enjoy the walk without tiring out.
- I brought my kids with me to this course. They enjoyed their time here. Don't worry. None was my caddy though.
- This is the best of the local courses. But again, there's never a bad day when you're here. Well, except during and after hurricanes. Otherwise, we'd all like this to be our home course.

Great vacation course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 7, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice wooded layout, easy navigation

Cons:

Holes are somewhat on top of each other due to space constraints

Other Thoughts:

Mostly par 3's but some technical wooded shots, great for a quick round on vacation. ~2 hours for 2 people using yellow tees and no backup

Wooded Wonder in Central OBX 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 29, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well maintained, expansive, and well signed/directed course. Most holes except one have tree canopy so shade abounds even on the hot/sunny vacation days for visitors like me. One open hole was sandy brush area like a preserve which was my 18 y/o son's favorite. Double baskets on most for either Par 3 or Par 4 challenge. Quite challenging even for the most prudent discer because of the abundance of Carolina Pine trees littered along the fairways but you'll like a challenge. Sizable concrete tee boxes with nearby hanging brooms on many to sweep off the needles. Port-a-potty on sight with practice basket next to parking area.

Cons:

Too wooded?? Many will feel frustrated by so many trees dotting the fairways and approaches. Seems like a long course and with abundance of trees, not the best for beginners. You'll still have fun, just be prepared for some tree smacks.

OBX Gem

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 15, 2024 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Amenities: teepads; signage; basket placements; wayfinding aids; stepping stones and bridges where needed; shot variety needed to excel.

Cons:

Landscape limitations: all but one hole in the woods; all flat; can be boggy in places; possibly difficult to play after a big rain.

Other Thoughts:

Long have I wished for a course on the Outer Banks, and Casey Logan Park exceeds my dreams. The OBX is naturally a tough environment for disc golf: sandy; forested and boggy where it's not sandy; and all land at a high premium, no matter how scrappy and buggy. I followed rumors of OBX disc golf on the message boards here, with expectations for a scruffy pitch and putt at best, if a course ever came to fruition. Well the course at Casey Logan park ain't scruffy at all and while it is mostly par 3 disc golf, it's par 3 with a lot of style and shine.

Two things stand out at Casey Logan. The first is the care and amenities. Two distinct concrete tee pads for most holes, both with excellent signage. A warm-up basket and a hole 19 cool-down basket. An increasing number of holes with two baskets. Lots of benches. Lots of landscaping to the keep the fairways fair. A whole lot of work and love has gone into this course.

The second thing is the landscape, and that's more of a mixed bag, depending on your taste. The course plays through a maritime forest, and only one hole is open. The rest are all in the woods, and some could be a bit boggy. Yet even here the work of the caretakers shines through, with stepping stones and bridges where needed. The designers made the most of the environment they had to work with, with a wide variety of shots needed off the tee, a couple elevated baskets, and one elevated tee on the one open hole. I use most of my bag on this course. Mistakes will be punished on a course like this, but all of the fairways are reasonable with due consideration for your tee shot, and disc loss is probably minimal. You will need your "get out of trouble" discs and shots at Casey Logan.

Playing yellow to yellow, Casey Logan is mostly par 3 and will reward a control game. Playing red to red stretches out the distance and diffculty meaningfully. Either way, the course will reward touch and a strong putting game.

Overall, I rate the course at Casey Logan as Very Good, and well worth checking out if you're in the Outer Banks. The course is first time friendly and a low stress, high fun outing. You may go back to your home course and wish for all special touches of this course, and your touch game will probably be better too.

Hard work pays off 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 13, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This review is for the yellow pads.

The course is a great example of North Carolina coniferous forest golf. Tight fairways demand precise throws and good form. Despite the sometimes-tricky lines, the design is fair: more experienced throwers will work putters and mids to the yellow baskets; newer players can pursue risk/reward placement and play for par.

Teepads are improving, and are fine for the distances and shots required. Drainage is INCREDIBLE compared to two years ago. I seriously can't believe the amount of work and the results. A dedicated club makes so much difference.

The course is very pretty, and hole 16 makes a great signature hole that is completely different from anything else on the track.

Cons:

The autumn olive in the rough seems useful for separating fairways, but a few of them in the fairways could be taken out, both from a design and an invasive vs. native species perspective.

Other Thoughts:

Again, it cannot be overstated what an accomplishment this course is. The land near Jockey's Ridge was basically impassible swampland a few years ago, and to transform it into well-drained land while also putting in a lovely course and protecting the land from development is a multi-pronged win for locals and tourists alike. Great job, Outer Banks Disc Golf Club!

Outstanding addition to an OBX vacation. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The best aspect is the location. OBX now has a great course centrally located, within a reasonable drive from most of the vacation areas.
All but one hole is well shaded and provides relief during bright hot summer days.
There is a good variety of holes in terms of difficulty and distance, allowing all abilities to enjoy a vacation round.
Signage is outstanding, there was no issues navigating the course.

Cons:

Honestly no major cons. The course is new and will eventually become well worn and beaten down, and help with the grassy areas that need constant attention.

Other Thoughts:

Clearly the locals care about the game and the course, well evidenced by the thoughtful design and adequate signage.
We used bug spray and had no issues with biting, even a day after massive rainfall.

Nice wooded course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 20, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good variety of holes make it fun for beginners and more experienced players. Well marked holes for easy navigation. Multiple tees and baskets. The amount of trees help to keep the wind at bay and provide lots of shade for hot days. They also provide ample opportunity to get creative with your shot placement.

Cons:

The biting flies are brutal, bring bug spray.
The tee pads could use some improvement.
Watch out for the occasional snake.

Other Thoughts:

The local disc golf community is fantastic. Many, many people donated time, hard work, and of course money to make this course a reality. The locals are both welcoming and encouraging. As another reviewer mentioned, if you need discs go to the local hardware store a few miles down the road, just ask a local where to go. As a beginner I found the course challenging but not overwhelming.

Fun course, challenging due to trees 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Excellent markets show layout of each hole
Nice benches at each tee box with multiple pins and tees each hole
Nice mix of left and right throws required
Beautiful pine wooded scenery
Tight fairways with many trees offer a nice challenge
Great large map showing course layout in case you need it

Cons:

Only one open bomber hole that has OB from state park lining the right side; stay left!
One or two holes are tough to find the next tee box but you can take the map picture to clear that up.

Other Thoughts:

I thought this was a really fun course and if I had more time I would have played through a second time from the back tees/pins. I enjoyed the well manicured wooded fairways and the trees made it a good challenge. All in all this is a great course for tight skilled shots and it is basically brand new and in terrific shape. For my first time playing it I shot a 6 over from the yellow (front) tees.

New Year's Day Surprise 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 1, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great course for beginners or advanced. Multiple tees and pins on almost every hole. Each hole is sponsored by a local business or person and there is great signage to make for easy navigation. At every short tee there is a bench to sit on and the park is very clean. The holes are fun and well-planned with many lines that have to be hit off the tee to score birdie, but the rough is easily manageable to give you a chance for a recovery upshot. The locals are doing a great job of getting this course to its' completion. A few bridges were recently added (since Jan. 1st) to traverse the low areas, and they will eventually put in paver tee pads all the way around. It's still fairly new, so some other logs and wood piles that came from carving out the original fairways will also end up being carted off and then this course will get beat in and shine.

Cons:

Being right beside the Ablemarle Sound, I'm sure the bugs can be heavy in late spring to summer, so bring bug spray. People like to walk their dogs through this forest which can be disturbing, because you can easily be on the teepad and not see someone walking. There really aren't any paths for them to be on, they're just kinda of meandering. In this case, I kinda feel that they should be watching out for you, because if you let one go on a blind hyzer/anhyzer line, you'll never know they were there.

Other Thoughts:

I found this course on New Year's Eve of 2018 and was pleasantly surprised at how awesome it was to play a true Carolina Longleaf/Loblolly Pine forest course. If you've never played a coastal course this is a real treat. Not only is every fairway littered in pine tags which keeps the underbrush at bay, the challenges are enhanced because there are plenty of live oaks and sourwood trees which create other obstacles to throw around, instead of just the towering trunks of the pine trees. The local club and its' members @ Outer Banks Disc Golf Club (https://www.facebook.com/Oute...f/?ref=br_rs)were super friendly and totally welcoming and want you to know they do Random Dubs every Sunday. If you get there and need to buy some discs, head to the hardware store (a couple guys gave me two discs to keep, since I didn't bring mine). That's right, I said the hardware store!

Great Stop For DG On Vacation 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 6, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well maintained and well signed course. Played three times over the course of a week vacation and it presented some fun, challenging holes for the people who had played before but was accessible for the new players with us. Wooded area presented a lot of shade for the heat. The 'desert' hole (I think hole 16) was a fun touch - with the remains of a car in the sand. For such a new course where they are still implementing better tee pads, this is an awesome spot and would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Cons:

Not a lot of bad to say here. The holes are short, but challenging and fun.

Other Thoughts:

Bring a hat, sunscreen and water!

OBX's Hidden Gem 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

There are a lot of great places to visit on the OBX, but this is a hidden gem. Excellent course layout that provides a nice challenge. Pro and Am tees marked with clear signage. The wooded area helps provide a nice barrier from the wind. Absolutely love #16 with the old car adjacent to the state park. This is what I was expecting to find on the beach. No trash, and hopefully, it will stay this way as more people play in the area.

Cons:

Tee pads vary, some are carpet, some are stone, and a lot of them have none. This is especially true for the pro tees. I love trees, but there were definitely a few that made this course a little more difficult than necessary, which makes some of the baskets hard to locate. Walkways at swampy areas could use some improvement. Glad I was down there when the course wasn't too soggy. Easy to tell this could be a problem after some rain.

Other Thoughts:

I was really excited about this course because I grew up in Hatteras. The pines and twisted oaks remind of the woods I used to play in as a kid. Glad there were directions on the site because GPS navigation brings you into a development. When you get to the gravel road it almost feels like you're trespassing on school property.
