Seems like some upgrades since the last review from 4 years ago:
-New Discatcher baskets
-New teepad signs at both the long and short tees. They're small, but they do the job well, especially since there are a lot of blind shots.
-Navigation is generally well marked, one exception in cons.
-Benches at every hole.
-Plenty of space and parking. The course is pretty spread out, which is actually nice because there isn't much in the way of safety issues or interference between players on different holes.
-Long and short tee pads. Short tee pads make for a challenging and long course by themselves. Long ones are called "nightmares" for a reason - hah.
-Terrific blend of wooded/open, shot types and shapes, uphill and downhill, creeks, ponds. I used every disc.

-Previous reviews from 4+ years ago talk about some bad holes, but I didn't notice that at all. Pretty sure they've moved some things around since then, it seems like every hole was quality. Yes, there are a few simple straight holes, but most of them are the more tightly wooded ones, so they're not gimmees. One or two open, straight, short holes at the beginning but nothing wrong with that when you're getting warmed up and facing bigger challenges to come.

-Quirky character that you don't see on a public course. It feels a little weird playing through someone's front yard, but I got over that quickly. There are balanced rock towers all over. Toss a garbage disc at the basket in the middle of the pond. It's a unique experience that you won't forget.

-Teepads are concrete but small. They feel like the size tees that was common at the 80s style courses. Most holes have ample grassy area for longer run-ups, but this is still a minor con compared to newer courses.

-Walking from 17 basket to 18 tee crosses through 5/6 (if I remember correctly) which is a little odd and can mean waiting for others to finish putting before you walk through. It's also a little tricky to know where to go here, if you've never been here before.

-because the course is so spread out, the walks between holes is a generally longer than usual, which isn't really a bad thing, to be honest...

-a couple of the wooded holes are so tight that they feel pinballish and that means it's more luck than skill to get through. The rough can also be ROUGH, so it's easy to get an unlucky kick into the deep woods that feels like a harsh penalty. I don't mind that if there's a clear fairway (If I miss my line, I deserve to be punished) but to have a combination of needing luck on the drive + punishment off the fairway is pretty brutal.

-Bring bug spray and sunscreen. The course was a little more open than I expected, and plenty of bugs including ticks.

Not sure why this course hasn't been reviewed here in four years, but it's in need of an update here on DG Course Review. I played Deep Creek as part of the Fly Guy Am tournament. There was a bit of a push for cleanup prior to the tournament, so everything was freshly mowed and cleaned up in advance. It was in stellar condition. I'm not sure how often the mowing and upkeep happens on a regular basis; it feels overwhelming to mow and tree-trim this much space for only one or two people.

I prefer this course over Diavolo because it has more character, history and break-in, and variety. It's so impressive (I'm envious) that one guy or family owns this much space and can keep it up. From talking to people, it sounds like it isn't very busy either, which is one more reason that you have absolutely have to play here, if you're in central NC sometime.

Note that because the holes have been moved around and renumbered, the photos on this site are not accurate anymore with respect to which hole is which. The UDisc map seems more current.

This course is a blast and really inspriring to me - what serious disc golfer doesn't want to own their own? Go check it out; it is totally worth making the drive and coordinating with the owner to see it.

Phenomenal private course consisting of 21 holes with 2 concrete tees on almost every hole, typically a single basket position while a couple holes have multiple baskets. Good signage and navigation, practice area by clubhouse. Benches, night golf and camping. Country club feel with some good fun people.

The course design is a fantastic blend of fun and technical and maximizes the limited elevation and land playing through some long open areas and tunnels through the deep woods. Excellent variety throughout the course with par 3s and 4s and a 5 ebbing and flowing between playing more open holes and then wooded holes and left turning holes then right turning holes and straight holes. Couple holes with multi routes.

I was really impressed with how well maintained the course is and the club support behind it. All the grass was cut which is a lot of mowing, and the rough in the woods was very minimal and not likely to lose a disc except maybe in the beautiful blue Lake Benkosky which also has a basket in the middle of it and a bunch of water discs to throw at it.

Nothing to stop anyone from playing here... check yourself for ticks, some very little poison ivy in spots. A couple holes lacking some signage, the tees are a little short, only one big loop back to parking lot/club house.

Hole 21 ends on a weak note and was the only hole I didn't particularly like with the skinny double Mando. Not much elevation change.

So I played in the 1pm Sunday random dubs here and got to experience the Scramble course which is a safari palindrome 12 hole layout as follows... 1L, 2/3, 4L, 5/6, 7/8, 9L, 10/11, 12/13, 14/16, 17LLm 18/19, 20/21. This was a lot of fun and provides some interesting holes. Playing hole 2 to basket 3 across the lake was epic, and I got video(in media tab) of young local big arm Jake McCoy buzzing the basket on this 450' water carry shot! Random story on back to back days I got randomly partnered with the birthday boy - what are the odds?

After the random dubs Scramble round I played a normal solo round of all 21 holes and really enjoyed the progression of holes. I didn't think I would enjoy the course as much as I did because it doesn't have the dramatic elevation change that I typically thirst for, although this made the course play fairly quick and less taxing on the body which was a bit refreshing and relaxing and could play several rounds a day here.

Hole 1 is awesome from either tee playing a long downhill par 4 from the short tee or a par 5 starting in the woods then playing to the open with the basket down a pinched fairway and 15' in front of the lake. After being disappointed with hole 21, I went back to hole 1 and threw my whole bag

Deep Creek Dreams reminds me a lot of the Blockhouse in VA(formerly aka The Grange) and Stafford Woods in NJ, but I like DCD a little more and is one of the best courses in NC. I highly recommend Deep Creek Dreams to any player from rec to pro, it is dreamy! If I lived within an hour or so I'd buy a membership in a heartbeat, but unfortunately I live 5hrs away, but I will be back again!

Private Course within short drive of Interstate 40,
Ross Davis, the owner, is dedicated to providing the best disc golf experience for those that come to play the course.
Deep Creek has a great mix of holes that test every aspect of your game. Both distance and accuracy are key to contend on a high level. Elevation, water, tunnel shots, technical shots, and luck all come in to play at Deep Creek.
Gorgeous fairways are maintained throughout the wooded holes and the overall aesthetics of the course are hard to beat.
This is a private course and requires a membership or being the guest of a member, to play Monday-Saturday. Sundays is open to the public for random doubles, which starts at 1pm.

Long course, bring water and bug spray

Finally, the group of members at Deep Creek Dreams share the same vision as Ross Davis, making the course the best it can be; a lot of work goes into maintaining an 18+ hole championship golf course and there is a lot of pride associated with the beauty of the property.

This is one of the best courses in the state and a must play.

Deep Creek Dreams is a perfect example of all the things that make a course great. It's a private course so you will need permission from Ross before you head out unless its Sunday doubles. Sunday doubles is open to everyone and starts at 1:00.

There is a great combination of long open holes (1 and 9) water shots ( 2, 3, 16 and 1 depending on placement) tight woods shots, big hyzers, mandos, and last but not least a swinger on 18. The course starts with a big bomber from the club house down to the pond. The next few holes play around the pond before you head in the woods. Holes 5 - 8 go through the woods before you pop back out for another long open hole on 9. 10 plays back across the field and back into the woods where you play until the final pond hole on 16. Holes 17 and 18 play back up to the club house and the course finishes up with some shorter holes with tight fairways and a really tight mando.

The course is easy to follow and has a great flow. The local members do a great job with upkeep, the fairways are cut and the woods are trimmed. There are a few trash can on the course but I always try to take all my trash with me once it's a private course and Ross has enough to do.

For an added thrill there is a basket in the middle of the pond and a stack of floating disc to try your luck. Lastly I'd like to say Ross and the rest of the members there are a true class act. It's always a pleasure to play when visiting from St Louis.

None

I know there are tee signs make up and I'm sure they are working on getting them up very soon.

Please be sure to drop some cash in the drop box. Places like this don't run on city funding.
