Swampy Awesomeness 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 21, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

beautiful surroundings
Some tight, technical shots

Cons:

Lots of hazards
If it has rained recently, several holes could be unplayable.
Easy to lose a disc or two
Signage is poor- I used this site to help find the holes when I played

Other Thoughts:

For a visitor to the area, it is a great way to experience disc golf in a palmetto forest. It really is a pretty park and well designed course. But lots of potential for frustration. I imagine the bugs could be awful at times. I played just after rains in March and 17 was unplayable.

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1) Tight fairways
2) Gorgeous surrounding
3) Not easy, but not back breakingly difficult

Cons:

1) Water. There's lot of standing water here and that is ankle deep. Not a problem in an open field, but the woods are also thick, so if its ankle deep you may never find it without a good spotter
2) Wildlife. Mostly mosquitoes, but ticks and such are a problem during the summer months
3) Navigation. Play with a local. Seriously. Get on here, or reddit and organize a meet up before you try to play this course alone. There's no signage, just wooden posts in the ground marking the tee area.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun course. I've been playing disc golf for about 7 months now and this was my favorite course when I started. BUT...do not play during the summer months. I hadn't played in since march and went back in July and it was unbearable. January-March is a great time for this course. Charleston doesn't get cold so its not a huge deal as far as temperature is concerned.

I'm a local, and I really like this course, but it is very unforgiving if you get off the fairway.
