- There are a few holes that are playable. I recommend walking the course and as you find a hole that can be played with ease, give it a shot.
- If you are willing to take the risk of losing a disc and skipping various holes throughout the course, you might be able to get in an adequate 9-hole round.

- Difficult to locate from the start. From there forward, regardless of the presence of signs, it is extremely difficult to navigate from hole to hole.
- The biggest con is the course conditions! Brush and tall grass run rampant at Emory and Henry. There is a high risk of losing a disc on almost every hole.
- Frustrating course. If the difficulty balanced out the course conditions then a fun round is certainly possible, but here one cannot have a fun time even when throwing a good round.

I am not the most familiar with the Southwest Virginia area, but I certainly recommend playing at Virginia Highland Community College any day that you might be considering to play at Emory & Henry. From the start this course is aggravating and unfortunately does not improve as the course progresses. Last word of warning, the course tries its hardest to eat your disc. Only play if you have a bag with discs you are willing to lose. As entitled, avoid Emory & Henry DGC at all costs!
