Course is in good shape and well signed. Holes are short-to-medium distances--including a few ace opportunities--with a variety of shot types needed. Pin positions do not change but there are separate red and blue tees for each hole. Nice course to get a quick and fun round in with practice on technical shots for veteran players. It's also a nice course for beginners to cut their teeth a bit and work on their game; it will provide challenges but is fair.

As others have mentioned it can get crowded and, because of being beginner and family friendly, can often lead to slow rounds for more experienced players. Also there is a walking path through the middle of the course so you have to watch out for non-golfers.

Most holes are tightly packed because it is a small course so it is easy to throw onto another hole's fairway. A couple of tees are alongside or in the throwing path of previous holes. 10's blue tee is particularly bad because it is actually between 18's tee and basket. You have to be fairly aware of the people playing around you to make sure a disc doesn't come for your head.

Others have mentioned that 5 is alongside Cornwallis Road and I agree that it is a poor layout choice. The shot required is a significant right-to-left shape and it is too easy to throw straight or turn it over right to send it spraying onto the road. There is a line of trees but they are not thick enough to consistently stop discs. To make it worse, the course is elevated from the road so it can be a bit of a pain to get down the steep hill.

I have to say that I do have fun here. For better players the blue tees provide a bit of challenge and the shorter holes make for plenty of ace or birdie opportunities and a good score for the wall when you're done.

-Well maintained
-Short and long holes
-Alternate tee boxes
-Score cards sometimes available
-Plenty of shade in the summer
-Fun course
-Weekly doubles, monthlies, etc...

-Can get crowded
-Can be difficult to find the next hole or exactly which basket you are going for on some holes

Overall this is a fun course. Heavily wooded with a lot of technical shots. I would recommend checking it out

Cornwallis DGC is a great "short track" type of course, and is perfect for practicing your short game. The terrain is fairly fair-to-moderate, so you won't really need your hiking shoes on this course.

~ Concrete beginner and alternative tees.
~ Signage provides approx distances.
~ Perfect for a quick round on the weekdays.
~ Great for perfecting your game in heavily wooded conditions.

My major issue with this course involves the fact that for new players, this course can be extremely confusing due to it's layout.

~ Extremely crowded on weekends.
~ Heavy pedestrian and pet traffic.
~ Difficult to locate next tees due to overlapping fairways.
~ Extremely wet and muddy after rain storms.
~ Heavily wooded areas.
~ One hole requires banking your shot far left, otherwise you risk landing your disc on a major road (major hazard).

Very tight course, requires very controlled shots. Shorter distance makes it more fun if you don't have a big arm. Alt tees are typically a different line, not just longer. Fairly easy to navigate. Lots of trash bins. Not too crowded, and the locals are cool. Close to Valley Springs and UNC courses.

Lots of dog-walkers, which means you occasionally have to ask them to get out of your way to throw (especially from long tees), and watch out for poo. The course gets very muddy with rain and takes awhile to dry out (lots of cool mushrooms though). Between ricochets off of trees and the many rocky patches on the course it can be hard on softer discs. Older baskets (Mach2?) which are more shallow.

Although the holes are very short, most fairways are very tight and many have trees in the middle that you must shoot around, which I like compared to some other woods courses. Considering this course was built in something like 1985 I think it still holds its own.

I'll try to be as detailed as possible. This course is short on distance, however tough on windows. Ultimately this course makes up for its decided lack of distance with some very difficult angles. There are some great Hyzers and Annie opportunities on this course. ultimately the windows are TIGHT, if you miss your window you will most likely dink it off of a tree and either have a blocked lie, thick lie or a tough shot for your 2nd shot. This says something when each hole is a realistic birdie opportunity.

Ok, time for the list of things I like

1. Tight Windows - I actually like this because it forces the you to work on your approach shots. Not every shot needs to be 500-600ft long. I personally like this course for it's ability to help hone ones mid-range/approach game.

2 - Variety of Shots - This course does not force you to only throw one type of shot. Sure your either throwing a putt/approach or a mid-range for 90% of your shots, but you have to be able to control them on different angles (hyzer, anhyzer, Thumber, Scooby, etc).

Length - This course is not so long that it takes forever to play. I routinely play this on my 'extended' lunch break at work - Meaning it takes about an hour to play the course, less if you know it well, it's not so much walking that you are exhausted, and not so short that you are bored.

Just in a list format
1. Some of the holes (specifically #3, 16, 17 and 10/18) are just laidout on top of one another. Often times when you are eying your shot, you are ultimately in the fairway, or the 'window' of another hole. The earliest example is hole #3, playing from the Blue tee's you are standing directly in the fairway of hole #2.

2. Dual purpose course - There have been quite a few 'walkers' and 'mountain bikers' out each time I've played this course

3. Course Flow - The Sign's are ultimately detailed when you arrive at the pin, however the signs are only on the RED tee's (SHORT) - so you have to do a little looking around for the longer tee pads (BLUE) - this is a pain when the leaves are down. Beyond that, between holes, the layout is a bit hard to grasp. Some holes flow pretty well, but others you have to take a moment or two and look for if you are not familiar with the course.

4. Parking - There is no parking lot, you have to park on the side of the street. I have never seen this course 'packed' so it does not appear to be to big of a problem.


Ultimately these Con's are not terrible, and I would not read them and think "I should not play this course". I enjoy playing this course.

I have updated the hole footage information into the hole info. I have attached a JPG that I scanned of the scorecards, in case you wanted to print your own before getting to the course.

Ultimately this course is not a Championship caliber course (IMO) However, I think courses like this are GREAT for working on various parts of your game. I absolutely think this course is great for working on your putt/mid-range game.

Shade from the rain was good by all of the tree's canopy at every hole. Good for tuning up your approach shots. The holes requiring driver's off the tee are the most enjoyable ones out of 18.r

Tee pads could be better. Don't bring a bag that requires quad shocks, you only need a midrange and a putter at most, maybe one driver.

I think 3 holes I played that I threw my driver on, and they were extremely tight. Every other shot off the tee was with a 1080 putter. Granted I think they're a faster speed putter than an aviar but they were all I really needed out there

It's a little more challenging than Kentwood down in raleigh...much tighter on the fairways, any side to side and you're screwed. It was pretty easy to navigate, easier than finding it. It's got dual pads that are easy to find and well marked. Lots of trees and shade, very enjoyable in 87degree weather...It's a quiet little walk in the woods and it seemed not too heavily traveled...

if it does get heavily traveled, i don't know if it does having only played it once, but if it does it could very easily be kinda dangerous...this doesn't really detract from the overall score, but it shoud be noted as many blue tees are closer to preceeding basket than red tees...but if you pay attention, no problem.

and there's no parking lot, at least not one i could find...i guess you just park on Wade Street???

overall it was fun, great confidence booster, although any wild shots will kill the score...not much land to expand, but they made great use of the land they had...

- Alt tees for every hole provide lots of variety
- Course requires every type of shot
- Great course for beginners
- Work on your shot-shaping!
- Trash can at hole 10, don't litter!
- Not very busy
- Great for a quick 27 after work
- Majority is under shade in the woods, keeping you cool in the high 90s (today was 98...)

- Too short for experienced players (play the blues)
- Barely need a distance driver, bring all your mid-range discs
- Not too scenic, no water holes
