Land of many contradictions. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 2, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

With a mix of long tees, short tees, tight alleys, and wide open fairways, there is something here to make just about everyone happy. I feel like the parking lot is a very low-risk location to park, due to campus security.

Cons:

No benches or trash cans as of this time. Not sure if there is an easily accessible bathroom in the area. The surrounding JUNGLE can swallow a perfectly good disc with ease, if you miss the fairway.

Other Thoughts:

I really liked this course. There are a good number of Ace and Birdie opportunities from the short tees. But the long tees can be very challenging! Get stuck in the woods, and you'll be sorry. In my opinion this is going to be a great course for Charlotte, and especially for those of us on the East side of Charlotte. Check this place out, I really think you'll love it!

Great addition. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 14, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

3 courses in one. Each with its own challenge. Open holes the wind really effects throws. Tight pine tree fairways on back nine. Hard wood holes you need to be accurate with drives. The course flows nice from open to woods back to open then in the woods to close. Nice sets of tee pads. Short/long.

Cons:

Still some thorns out there and the high grass to hard to find disc in. But if I hit fairways I wouldn't need to worry.

Other Thoughts:

Great job on this one. Lets have some big tournament out there.

New to DGCR but not a new course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 19, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

While I have the memory of this course being very open it really is a 50/50 split which makes for fun times. The flow allows for variety throughout the round and not just a bunch of open holes followed by a bunch of wooded ones.

Teepads are very nice as well as the signs.

Easy to find your way around

The Course is absolutely beautiful once you get. The trees and openness make you feel like you are on an African Safari. The types of trees with the tall grass right off of the perfectly manicured fairways give it a cool vibe.

I feel that the Short pads are very good to have where a person who has never played before having a disc golf class can play without being destroyed by the longs. The longs are defiantly a fun challenge.

Cons:

The tall grass off the fairways looks good and gives the hole shape but it can also make it difficult to find a misplaced shot.

A lot of new Growth is taking over the wooded fairways which is to be expected this time of year.

The rough on some of the wooded holes is very very thick.

Other Thoughts:

This course is extremely unique and is a good balance of open and wooded. You get a taste of traditional NC woods golf and also get to let 'er rip a few times. The course has improved immensely since I first played it and I know it will continue to do so. I strongly recommend checking this place out!

Good Job Wheeler!
