two different short 18 hole courses in one

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 5, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The alternate tees make birdies REALLY hard. the regular tees make birdies really easy, but definitely NOT given. Some days i struggle to get 3s on the alts even when not going for birdies, which is amazing considering they are all about 200 to 250 feet and there are fairly clear lines to where you should put your drive and approach. I've seen a lot of courses try to do 2 separate tees and it rarely comes out as well as this did. It is amazing how they moved the tee 30 feet back, but it requires a completely different throw (due to how tight that 30 feet is in some instances and how tight the rest of the fairway is in others.

super peaceful and clean park, people play very fast even though a couple holes are on top of each other.

Cons:

very few trash cans or benches. tee pads aren't big and a couple are slightly worse for wear. it really needs about 4 more holes that are longer, (there is only 1 over 250 i think, i think it is like 350. But that makes it a perfect pair to diablo.

Other Thoughts:

Nothing will ever make this course a 4+ star, it just can't support enough variety, but it is perfect for what it tries to be!

What I Play Most 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 27, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Cornwallis is a small course that offers a quick round, and some variety.

There are 2 concrete teepads for all 18 holes of the course. While some holes are different (like hole 10), most holes don't offer much other than a little more distance.

The signage for each hole is decent, but with the shorter holes most are easy to spot anyway!

That being said, this is a short course! It is great to practice with lower drivers and mid-range discs. Aces are possible, and I have seen one by someone else, but they are just elusive enough to be difficult.

This is a great course to work of hyzer and anhyzer shots. This course has really worked my approach game!

The park has new playground, basketball court, walking trail, and a bathroom. It is tucked in a nice neighborhood with lots of street parking.

Very possible to shoot low scores, with many fair birdie chances!

Cons:

The multiple teepads don't seem to add enough variety.

The 18th hole is close to the 10th tee, which can cause some confusion, if you are driving on 18.

The course can be very muddy after a rain.

Other Thoughts:

This course is one closest to my house, so I play it more than others in the area.

I enjoy the shorter, wooded course. Its fun to shoot for low scores. Don't expect to throw your long-bomb drivers(boss, nuke, katana, etc.) on very many holes.

Also, I played my first doubles there last weekend. Everyone was friendly and welcoming! After the rounds, they installed a new bridge to the tee for hole 12. It looks great!

Short but Fun Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 5, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

- 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...)

Cons:

- 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

Other Thoughts:

See the board at hole 1 for local area disc golf information.
