Great course through the woods with lots of variation in length, directions, elevations.

The teepads are not great and difficult to find in some spots. Once or twice through the course and its much easier

underrated local course

- 18 holes featuring a good variety of lines. Left, right and straight tee shots with elevation in play on nearly every hole.

- Two sets of tees. I played all longs, but most groups I saw seemed to stick to the shorts.

- Tees are a mix of paved and shredded rubber pads. All of them worked well for me in good weather.

- Excellent signage. Some holes had three signs - one for the long tee, one for the short tee, and one for the drop zone. Next tee signs as needed.

- Gorgeous property. The first few holes feel like a typical park course, but once you get into the woods on #5 it's some beautiful woods.

- Excellent use of elevation. Most holes featured some sort of elevation change. Uphill finishes making holes feel longer, downhill greens adding to the risk / reward - the designers did a commendable job of incorporating elevation changes into nearly every hole.

- There's a generous amount of benches.

- Lots of trash cans, even in the woods.

- All par 3's. The most glaring flaw of this course is every hole can be birdied with a midrange....maybe fairway driver on some holes. It's fun and diverse and challenging at times, but it's short for an 18 hole course in North Carolina.

- Some interaction with the walking path on 4's green and 5's tee. I had to wait a bit to tee off on 5. Not a big deal, but also not ideal.

- On hole 2 a really bad drive would be at risk of flying into the tennis courts. I'd stay away from a flick sky hyzer route.

This was a really fun course. I enjoyed it much more than Bell & Howard Chevrolet DGC, which I played on the same day.

This course is pretty well balanced overall. There's definitely more wooded holes than open, but aside from that you have flat, uphill and downhill shots on fairways that turn left, turn right and go straight.

The wooded holes are gorgeous. Despite playing right next to a busy park and bordering a neighborhood on holes 5-7 or so, it still gave me a pretty isolated feeling.

This is pretty much exactly what I want from a disc golf course, save for some minor shared use concerns and the lack of longer par 4's and 5's. Fun, diverse holes on scenic property.

I'd go out of my way to play here again. This is a solid course. Added to my favorites.

Nice, concrete tees.
Nice Chain Star baskets.
Longish tight holes with a huge ravine/creek in play on more than 1/2 the holes. How the ravine/creek shakes out will be an important part of this layout. Is creek only o.b.? Will the creek dry up in the summer? Will there be rope (or some sort of designation) rendering the entire ravine o.b.? Is it going to be in AND ACROSS the ravine that is o.b. (this is a different side of the ravine on different holes and is a bit confusing at the present)? Will be crucial that this info is on the tee signs (which are currently not installed; wooden posts only, at present.) If so, this going to be very much a placement course. Even if creek only is o.b., placement is going to be important regarding stances.
Challenging shot on every hole.
I enjoy seeing courses when they're still raw. If you like that style, go now. If not, I'm betting things will be complete by the end of the summer.

This course is still pretty raw. There are a lot of debris/cut piles that still need chipping. It's simply new course issues; and not that big of a deal; but you will more than likely have a stance issue or two during your round, at present.
At least one hole left that seems quite "pin bally." I would think there are still some final tree falls needed; but they seem to be operating under a leave them up until final decisions are made mode; which is the way to go...
Front clearer than back, with back growing progressively more rough, as you work your way through. Quite playable all the way through though.
Hole #18 is going to need to have a mando put in place. It's a long hole and the ravine is in play the entire way. Especially for those ready to conclude their round; there is going to be the option of throwing through a schule line (to your left; off the tee); to an open field up top and playing to the basket that way. IMHO; only a mando is going to keep many from doing this. The last hole can take a half hour all by itself if you're climbing in and out of the ravine two or three times. The o.b. will again be a big issue on this one; and there could be huge scoring swings on the last hole if the o.b. area is made large...there's not much room to not be in the ravine; for the entire hole.

I gave Nevin a great rating; when it was still in a raw state. Have not had the chance to get back there, since. I am feeling much the same way about Cornelius Road. How they finish o.b. issues on the course will make a big difference here. The course is quite challenging, regardless. I had the pleasure of two local guides, which helped the experience feel quite good; and a younger player who committed to doing some of the ravine retrieval for a couple of us old guys. I left with a fine first impression; but the young man who did most of the climbing said, "To me, it felt more like I was hiking with some disc golf thrown in, than disc golfing." I did not feel that way, but, there could be some frustration climbing in and out of the steep ravine. This course could also end up with erosion issues; without a lot of step work.
The idea for this style course, in general, is a grand one and I wish Cornelius Road good luck in their adventure. They appear to be off to a very interesting start; and I've given a high rating score; based on the skill needed and the fun factor I enjoyed.
