-A church property course with a variety of open and wooded holes. Long range gaps to hit from the tees, and a very short-range gap from the tee. An elevated tee with one elevated basket placement, and a hole with street play. Some water in play, along with wind on a few holes, and a U-turn hole. Obstacles very close to fairways, makes the course very challenging.

-#8 a unique short hole on a three-pillar wooded framed mound surrounded by trouble. At first glance looked like a basket place on top of Noah's Ark.

-#14 was realigned just a few weeks before my round. It's now parallel with #15, and what was before #14 crossing the #15 fairway.

-Tee signs have hole number, map, distance, par, and show two tee pads? Each tee sign has scripture quotes.

-Navigation is clockwise, tee signs have next hole indicator.

-I found the course memorable 2 ½ months later.

-From the bag a variety of mid's, fairways, and drivers.

-Beginners and Recreational players will find the course difficult, and lost disc potential high. Intermediate and Advanced players will be tested by the course obstacles.

-Overgrowth on the course makes some gaps very difficult specifically #4 trying to hit a gap 200 feet down fairway, and #5 with bushes growing in the fairway, among other places on the course. Most fairways are a tight squeeze. I didn't find the course scenic.

-Tee signs indicate long tees; I didn't see any long tees at all. #18 tee sign is missing.

-There is a road that runs through the property effecting a few holes, just check both ways.

-#9 basket is right center of #10 fairway. If someone makes the wrong turn from #6 basket, they could catch a disc from the #6 tee.

-With tall grass bordering open fairways, overgrowth on other holes, narrow width fairways bordering ditches that could have water in them after heavy rains, most of the holes on the course have high lost disc potential. A player on #9 waived me thru as he was looking for a lost disc in high grass, he had made the remark that he had lost other discs there before. I was waived thru by a group on #15 in the woods and was asked if I had seen a pig on #14.

Covenant DGC is my first church course that I've played, and overall, I was very impressed, and the course offered more than I was expecting with variety. Having now played 5 courses in the Greenville area, it was the busiest on a Tuesday morning, so it must be popular. I found the course to be very challenging and said hello to a lot of trees. But with the short distances, not too difficult to recover. With the overgrowth along the course, the course has a trashy feel to it, but it's not, just very little scenery. Maintenance with the overgrowth a few times a year, I could find the hidden gem shining. My biggest personnel con is the lost disc potential, holes 1-2, and 18 you get a pass, but all the others its lurking. I looked a few times but left the course with a full bag. Two others on the course not so lucky.

With the variety of the layout, and the challenge my overall rating is anchored on a 4.5. The time to play with some disc looking, and snapping pictures was one hour.

The U-turn Hole:

-No. 6 at 242 feet is a narrow straight away hole until about 200 feet when it hooks to the left around heavy trees and bushes. If you run thru the fairway there's tall grass waiting for you. The purpose is to avoid walking back towards the tee to reach #7 tee. From the basket keep the trees to your left and you have protection from the tee, and then cross over to reach #7 tee when #6 tee is in your view. Too bad there's not a way to do that with #9 and 10.

Notable Holes:

-No. 5 Par 3 at 277 feet is a straight away hole through a narrow fairway of about 25 feet until it doglegs right in the open at 200 feet. The basket sits in the open, and wind will play a role around the basket. The fairway thru the 200-foot gap is lined with skinnies and heavy brush. There are bushes at the dogleg as well. If you don't make the dogleg clean, you're going to waste a stroke. I wasted a stroke.

-No. 7 Par 4 at 495 feet straight away to the basket with high grass on the left a strip of fairway about 40 feet wide with skinny trees all the way down, street play right center, and another strip of fairway just 15 feet wide with heavy trees and brush to the right. Basket sits in the open on the left fairway but protected by the skinny trees. The street is o.b. I skipped across the street to the right fairway and hit a skinny on approach.

-No. 9 Par 3 at 237 feet from the tee is a 5-foot narrow gap that runs about 40 feet. Past the gap about another 40 feet is heavy tall grass at about 4-feet high. After the gap the fairway breaks into a dogleg right at a 35-degree angle running straight to an open basket. The fairway is only about 30 feet wide, the tall grass on the left and heavy trees and brush on the right. If you make the fairway, you won't know it until you walk pass the gap. I found an opening higher up in the trees above the gap and thru a Star Leopard high with hyzer (lefty). Only about a 130-foot drive, but relived to find it safe in the fairway considering the player ahead of me was looking for his disc.

-No. 11 Par 3 at 210 feet is the only elevated tee on the course at about 7 feet, a straight away and your thinking ace run. Only about 15 feet wide with heavy trees, brush, and extended branches. Caught branches on the left.

Signature Hole:

-No. 8 Par 3 at 174 feet an open tee straight away to an elevated basket on three layers of wooden frames with soil filled around each frame. Very narrow levels of only a few feet, the basket is about 8 feet high. Around the basket is trouble. In the front and around left a wide and deep ditch with water a likely lost disc, it was dry when I played. Around the left of ditch and back is heavy trees and brush. I found myself in the left ditch, very intimidating putt upward and laid up to the lower level.

Trouble Hole:

No. 17 Par 3 at 318 feet is the longest par 3 on the course. Is a straight away hole and narrow only about 15 feet all the way down. To the left is heavy trees and brush, to the right the wide and deep ditch. The basket sits to the left and behind it more heavy trees and brush. After heavy rain filling the ditch with water, this hole becomes very difficult to stay on fairway, and not to lose a disc on either side. With a dry ditch I kept it away from the left, and into the ditch.

Good level concrete tee pads. Great signs with hole layout, distance, par and Bible verse. Good Discatchers, a little worn, but in good shape.
Very safe area behind the large church building (gym ?).
Great next tee signs when needed, I never had to refer to the map I printed.
Nice variety of holes left, right and several that were dead straight. Used the open field for a couple of holes, but I would have liked a couple more.
Distance of holes was appropriate for the amount of openness.
18 finishes right back at parking lot, in fact right next to #1.
Nice elevated basket on the very short #8. "

I would have liked more holes in the open grass area.
#3 - there are several drainage ditches (creeks) on the course, most are small with just a small amount of water and easy to retrieve a disc from. But the one on 3 is the largest, with the most murky water. I can see why they have to use that area for a fairway, but maybe more clearing of the trees on the right, would keep you away from this ditch.
Several of the tight, wooded holes were straight shots. I believe the fairways were wide enough, just difficult to hold a straight line that long.
Not a lot of benches on the course.

I was very pleased with this course, a little worried seeing the rating of 2.61, but it plays much better than that. The tee signs are great, they've added a few longer pads and the fairways are clear. Playing this time of year, it was tough to figure how much tighter it is in the spring and summer, but most of the trees were pines, so probably not a lot tighter.
#7 gives one of the few chances to open it up, #8 is short (across the road) to an elevated basket next to a creek, fun hole, #13 (or was it 15?) was fun, tight fairway, the basket just across a creek, #18 was a fun finishing hole, back in the open, forehand drive, with the basket protected by the treeline.
A few of the fairways crossed, but they were usually near the tees, so probably not a big issue, even on busy days.
I've played a few church campus courses, I believe this is the first 18 hole layout. This is the best one I've played, even better than Bethel in W-S. They even have a sign at the first tee to welcome all players and hoping they enjoy the course. So I stopped in the Main Office on my way out to thank them and compliment the course.

It's a good beginner/intermediate course. It can be a little confusing 3-4 and 7-8-9 and as the summer sets in it could use a good trim and I think that will be the trend throughout the summer again.

The front 9 is a little bit of everything, tight/open/up/over and through with some water. The back 9 is mostly wooded and requires some nice straight shots. Really an overall solid course. If it had regular maintenance or an active club, it could be really nice!

Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance! I hope they can get a group together to keep it cleaned up and I'm not talking about trash, just bushes and branches.

They really need to finished the last few tee boxes and hopefully put in the longer pads!

If you are gonna be in Greenville, you might as well play it. I'm sure you'll agree that you've played much better, but you've also played much much worse.

This course is very natural on the property of a church. Is a very difficult course especially for beginners. Very tight fairways on the back 9 is a good trainer for accuracy.

Course is only maintained a few times a year. Grass can get very tall making it tough to find your discs even in the fairways. Debris and tree foliage on the back 9 can make for a very rough round. Hole #3 has a river along the entire left side of the fairway that if not a floater almost guaranteed to loose it. New concrete pads on holes #5 and #7 are too short and raised up to get an X step. Pads need to either be buried a little bit or made longer.

Course has great potential if was maintained a little bit more and concrete pads were made bigger and added on all holes

The course is challenging. Serveral elevated and tight shot holes, which makes some shots difficult. Make you use different type of shots. Promotes family atmosphere

Tee pads could be improved.

The course was built with donations and by volunteers. Signs, holes markers for each hole should be finish and installed in the near future. Play the course for yourself and if you don't come back for more God Bless

Kind of tight at times and is a majority righty flick friendly. Offers a different option besides Meadowbrook in Greenville. Few aceable holes on this course. This course does offer a slight challenge for experienced players. Mostly wooded and not too long. Hole 8 Mt. Humility is short, and the basket is on top of a hill. It's not hard to get a birdie on this hole, but if you just struggle with up hill putts, your score may suffer.

A bit sloppy in my opinion. The natural tee pad is tough to grip when wet. No map on tees doesn't help either, and again, concrete pads would be nice.

It's nice that the church built a course on their property, but a sloppy one. But the fact t=it's not the main focus gives me the rating that I gave. Not really worth drive and play if you live 30mins+ out. If you live in Gville though, it's worth because of the change of shots and lines.

The fact that a church has donated time, work, and money to the sport of disc golf is really admirable to me. There's a good variety of holes, not all as easy as some may suggest. 3 or so holes that are similar shouldn't discount an extra 18 holes we get to play in this community, especially after ECU put us out in the cold closing their course.

No concrete tee's, which are taken for granted at other courses. Pretty good natural tees, but weather can effect that. Some brush out there has gotten out of control, but all the course maintenance is voluntary.

Great little course to play if you get the chance. As always, stick to the fairways and you'll be fine. Still a fairly new course, so get out there and play!

The course requires a few shots that are unique for Greenville. Hole 3 is a tight tunnel that finishes to the right. Hole 8 is short and wide open but has an 8ft elevated basket. There are a nice mix of open and wooded holes. New Innova discatchers. Its excellent that a church put up this course on its property.

Strongly favors righty forehand or lefty backhand shots. A lefty would probably have a 3 or 4 stroke advantage on this course. Only about half of the holes here are really challenging or creative. Many of the wooded holes on the back nine are very repetitive 150-200 ft straight shots that finish slightly left or right. Holes 5, 9, and 18 are rhbh anhyzers with trees on the right. This is the exact same hole as 3 long, 4 long, 12 short and long, and 13 long at West meadowbrook. We don't need three more holes of this same shot in Greenville.

Its a new course, so the teepads may be moved around before the course is finalized. Overall its worth playing if your in the area. Not worth a road trip.

Great confidence builder. # 8 is the funnest but maybe hardest hole on the course. Basket is elevated on a 10' tall mini-mountain, and semi-surrounded by a creek.

9 holes perfect for forehands and lefty's. 6 fairly straight, but only 3 right to left holes. A tiny bit hard to navigate. A few tees hard to find. A few holes cross each other.

Overall a fun course to play. Really cool that a church would build a course and allow public play!
