7 & 18 - you'll understand when you see them 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 7, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Decent little chunk of woods with a good flowing creek and nice elevation.
The entire sports complex there could provide for a great experience to bring beginners and kids into the sport by installing a set of short tees and eliminating the ridiculous holes (7 & 18)

Cons:

Minimal maintenance after hole 4
Poke and pray airways on many of the holes (6,7,11,18).
Totally odd fairway shapes on some holes (7,16,18)
Horrible pin placements on some holes (4 right next to a poison ivy patch bush)
No short tees on a course that probably sees 1000 kids every weekend rolling through there for other activities.
No alternate pin placements to add variety to the course.
Holes 7 & 18 - yeah. WTF is all you'll say. When your best shot on a hole is to chuck a disc sideways off the tee into an open field, across a walking path, or into the adjacent hole, then you have to ask yourself what the intent of that design is.

Other Thoughts:

While I feel there are portions of the course that are just fine, and even a few that I really like, I've given the 1.5 because it is just that - PASSABLE. You won't regret not having played here, but you might regret having played.
This course could be amazingly better with minimal effort. Shorten up some holes and eliminate the ridiculousness and poke and pray airways, design airways that allow natural disc flights (90 degree doglegs are horrible design elements!), and add some short tees to grow the sport and appeal to all the local kids in the park and surrounding communities.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 5, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

The overall park is very well maintained and holes 1 - 5 were playable.

Cons:

- Bad layout of disc golf course
- No safe access to the ravine/creek to retrieve fallen discs. I saw someone slide down from the top to the bottom to retrieve their disc because the ground gave up on them.
- No natural logs or any type of barrier to keep discs from rolling into the ravine.
- Fairways are not clear

Other Thoughts:

Would not play again unless the safety concerns are addressed and the fairways are created.

Hopefully a work in progress 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 12, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful park with hilly terrain, mature trees and a stream. There are also good baskets, tee pads and good tee signs.

Cons:

As others said below:
1. Numerous drag piles right next to fairways
2. A number of holes with no fairways
3. The ravine that about 1/3 of the holes across or play next to, has no safe way in or out of it
4. Next tee signs needed (we never found hole 13s tee pad)
5. 18 may be the worst hole that I have ever seen

Other Thoughts:

I am hoping that this is an unfinished course, sinse it has potential to be a 4-4.5 rated course. Creating fairways and landing zones on some of the holes would greatly improve the course. I assume that the drag piles will be removed. I will not play this course again until I hear that improvements have been made. Once again this course has potential. Lets hope that improvements are made, which could make this another great course in the Charlotte area.
