just a fun lil course!

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 25, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised with just how fun this course is! For a pretty basic throw and putt course, It makes use of every available natural resource on the property, the only exception being the pond which you play near but does not come into play, and given the beginner-level of the course, I find very appropriate to only incorporate by views.

The equipment for this course is nop-totch! Great innova baskets, great signs, with a course map on hole 1. The tee's are dirt tees marked with either bricks, or painted posts on the ground, hard to tell, but you know when you're at a tee pad.

The holes are all pretty basic, the longest coming in around 200ft, but there are some big hyzer lines, a gentle anny, something to make it interesting. Even a couple gentle slopes and hills worked in. It's amazing how engaging each hole is in the small space and short distance.

The landscape is also well manicured, mowed regularly, and is a pleasant walk in addition to being a pleasant round.

This is probably the perfect course to take a beginner: short holes, little risk of OB over the fences, and it's a little more than pitch and putt in most cases

Cons:

As articulated by previous reviewers, this isn't a course you take a driver to. I don't think that's a con in every circumstance, but grading a course overall, it doesn't make it a "complete" course.

There's a walking trail that can kind of come into play, but especially the biggest con is the 9th basket can have pedestrians kind of hanging around on a crowded day. It is placed a good distance from the picnic tables and chairs and stuff, but with the way people spread on the lawn, and the way discs can get carried, you should just be extra careful.

Other Thoughts:

I'm sad someone reviewed this course before it was finished being constructed, because it really was a surprisingly pleasant round, on a well put together course, where you take maybe your favorite mid and a putter out for some quality time.

I'd even say this is somewhat of a destination course, if you pair it with a visit to the beer garden. If disc golf and beer are two things you're interested in, then this is definitely a place to visit!

Try the speed 14 beer 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 9, 2022 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

+on the grounds of a brewery with great beers and decent food
+excellent place to take a date to introduce them to the sport
+landscaped grounds with picturesque shady live oak trees on a few holes
+Innova Discatcher baskets in excellent condition
+indoor restrooms
+great place to work on approach game
+decent tee signs recently installed

Cons:

-pitch & putt short course, no drivers necessary
-limited hours; best to call ahead to make sure the place is open

Other Thoughts:

Faubourg Brewery is not a championship course but it's pretty fun. Definitely caters to the non-competitive disc golfer, and really hits the mark as far as a great place to drink beer and play disc golf. The beer selection is excellent and the food is good, though sometimes it takes a little while to cook.

A great place to take a date. The grounds are very clean and landscaped well--you could almost play in high heels. Sandal-friendly at the very least!

Wonderful Brewery , Course Needs Work 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 12, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Faubourg Brewing has a very nice piece of property along its front and side yard . Beer is featured inside , along with a light menu of food . The brewery has certain hours that you can play. Otherwise , the gates are closed . Nice bathrooms are located in the bar area .
THE EQUIPMENT - there are no tee pads , or signs , or online map , or kiosk which mean you have to make the course up as you go along . The baskets are brand new yellow banded Discatchers .
TERRAIN - The property was immaculate . Grass moved and landscaped . There is a pond that can come into play if you want to throw over it for hole 3 . There are a couple of places with vey little elevation , but for the most part , it's flat . There are a few trees that could come into play .
HIGHLIGHTS ------ Waiting for it .
TIME - It took me 20 minutes to play the course .
DISC RISK - Low . There are a couple of spots where the wind could kick up and guide your drive over a fence , or you could plunk one in the lake , but I doubt you will lose one .
BEER - You can drink while out on the course if you like . And most of us LIKE .
There is an ace run on every hole . Make your friends buy you a beer if you land one .

Cons:

1.EQUIPMENT - I think that the good people at Faubourg , may have wanted to wait to put thier disc golf course on Disc Golf Review . They might have wanted to at least draw some makeshift tee pads with chalk on the sidewalks for a lot of the holes .
2. NAVIGATION - Not having any idea where to tee off from can be frustrating for most . I hope that they are working on it .
3 Safety - Until I know where to throw from , I am just going to assume that it is safe enough . There are a couple of places , maybe 1 , 2 and 9 , where someone could get " The Plastic Surprise " on an errant throw or a windy day . Many like to sit out in the garden area , where concerts can spring up . The course is brand new . Give the locals the benefit of the doubt . Skip a hole if you have to . Also , there are nice lights on the ground under the trees that illuminate them . A skipped disc could easily expose and crush them . Try to avoid contact on the lighting .
CHALLENGE - The area is small , and tight , maybe too much for a short 9 hole course . You should be in birdie range on most all holes .

Other Thoughts:

I am not sure if 9 baskets in a clockwise circle qualify as a course . I still am interested in on-premises courses . It's a great way to gather free advertisement for your brewery . Even if they attract 1 new person per day , the course will pay for itself in a year . Ace run challenges between disc golf players , with a free giveaway on an off night like a Tuesday might peak interest . Check out the beer museum on the 2nd floor of the brewery . Very interesting .
MY RECOMMENDATION - an easy way to burn some time on brewery grounds . This is just some filler for friends to do while drinking beer outside . Baggers can get in here and out in 20 minutes or less if they aren't tempted to drink a couple . I personally would take a pass on this course for now until they decide to finish the course .
