Not your typical 9 basket course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 5, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Two sets of tees that requires many different shot shapes. The shorts offers a technical track that you can score on if you hit your lines. Miss your lines and it's a different story. One positive is minimal underbrush, you might have 50 trees in your way but you won't get punished with briars and other annoying foliage.
Basket locations are well thought out. Some holes are completely different from shorts to longs. Kudos to the designers that used some creativity.
Tee signs are nice DD made, baskets are DD Veterans (Thanks Evan Scott!).

Cons:

Turf tees on ground. This will be tough to keep level. Potential erosion issues on a couple holes. If this course had raised concrete pads I would give it at least 4 stars. Update: I think at least 8 of the pads are concrete. The turf pads are fine right now as I didn't have any issues at all.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course to practice your lines. It's very rewarding when you hit your lines from the longs and the shorts gives plenty of birdie chances and ace runs. Playing 18 I can see 10+ throw swings in scores. I've only played it twice and have a +5 and a -4. It could get worse and better. I also appreciate that it's accessible for both right handlers and lefties.

Spartanburg Cherokee Line 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 24, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is called County Line because the county line runs right through Chesnee. It cuts right behind the course. You're in Spartanburg County, but less than 200 feet from, or possibly right against, Cherokee County on #7 & 8. Moral of the story: Cherokee County, you still owe us a disc golf course.
- I thought this was an excellent nine-hole course. This felt like I quit an 18-holer after the front nine rather than the stereotypical 9-holer. I can't describe it, but we all know that most nine-hole courses have that nine-hole stink to them. This doesn't.
- Several solid longer par 4s. Another anomaly of most nine hole courses. From the longs, #4 at 456 and #7 at 480 are good, multi-shot par 4s. #7 is more open and end up being an easy birdie 3 whereas I struggled to salvage bogey on #4 after a bad kick off a tree resulted in me being deep in the woods.
- #8 is a tough par 3. It's going to take an outstanding tee shot to have a short/gimmie birdie putt. It's a weaving, 370 foot hole with some trees throughout the fairway. I suspect most birdies will be of the longer putt variety, say from 30 - 50 feet away. Par is a good score here.
- #9 could be really fun hole. As is, the dry retention pond and the parking lot left are both OB. Now, have some actual water in the pond, and this feels tighter. I had no concern my disc land on the edge of OB because it took a big skip away. But, if it landed close to water, that would have been a risky shot.
- Course offers some decent variety between the short and long tees. Most shorts are simply scaled down versions of the longs. On #3, however, you are throwing from a completely different angle. In this case, give me the long tee as it's a better, more natural angled fairway.
- On #5, the short tee is a significantly better layout than the longs. Why, you're not asking? It creates a much better risk/reward layout bringing legitimate scoring separation into play. It's 220 from the shorts, compared to 330 from the longs, so you're throwing mid-range/putter. The line between good and bad tee shots is as thin as hitting a small branch and having your disc kick into the woods. I threw two discs from the shorts. One led to a 15-foot birdie putt. The other hit a small branch, kicked into the woods and would have resulted in a bogey, or worse, had I played that.
- Excellent tee signs. Quality, well descriptive.

Cons:

A little more clearing/new course maintenance is needed in spots. There's more dragging needed on #1, 4, 6, and 8, at least. I'm guessing this isn't a long term issue.
- Weird, first time observation out of my 425+ played courses. The artificial, carpet tee pads are way too thick. On several where they're located, my feet were sinking into them, reducing any explosion/x-step power. Picture doing a run-up in mud and having your feet get somewhat stuck. It's the same feeling.
- #7 long is a par 4. Tee sign lists it as a 3. They know about it and will have it fixed. Good chance by the time the next person plays, it'll be fixed.
- Lack of amenities - trash cans, benches, restrooms, etc. The park is across the street and gas stations/fast food joints are 2-3 minutes away.
- I think a couple of these fairways could use another tree or two taken down.
- #1, especially from the longs seems like the angle from the open fairway to the wooded approach and basket is slightly off. There's rough along the entire left side of the fairway so you can't throw too far left. If you start far right, you're not getting anywhere close to the basket, as it's back and right of the opening in the woods. Or, be like me. Hit a branch on the left side. End up in the rough. Then hole out from 125 - 150 for your birdie 2.
- Not a negative per se, just an observation. This isn't really a kid/beginner friendly course. I suspect a lot of traffic will be locals/casual players maybe playing for the first time. Again, not a negative against the course, but could be a deterrent for some players.

Other Thoughts:

I really liked this course. Surprisingly so. The course had a good mix of everything, including some decent elevation factors. You could find any one of these holes on your standard 18-holer and they'd fit right in.
- If I want to play 9 more holes, then in my book, it's a quality 18-holer. County Line is that.
- #5 short, 7, and 8 all can make claims at the most enjoyable hole. The toughest hole easily is #4. Some people will like #9 for it's risk, especially if you're a stickler for OB lines. Throw in the birdie run chances on #2 & 6, and that's seven distinguished holes. I can point you to plenty of 18 hole courses that don't have this much quality.
- Signage needs to be improved. Having white markers on trees is helpful if there's a consistent reason for it. After #2, you're going to the right for #3 short, and to the left for long. After #5, you can just as easily walk to the tee for #8 short as you can for #6. After #6, you find a tee pad, but is it long or short?
- Rant: local directions on this site can be completely useless. Coming from Charlotte, you're coming to the course from SC-11. I didn't even drive through Chesnee. If you're coming from the west/Asheville area, you're going I-26 to SC-11. If you're coming from Greenville or Spartanburg, you're not getting off at exit 80 on I-85. Why have directions that aren't user friendly? Rant over.
- This moves high up my list of best 9-hole courses I've played. Of the current 9-hole courses I've played (sorry Steele Creek in Bristol, TN and Hampton Park Baptist in Greenville, SC, you're both 18-holers now), this is in my top 5 out of 150+ played.
- This has a classic Carolina wooded feel to it. Whether you're from the Upstate or Charlotte, you'll feel right at home here. Well worth the play!
