Reviewed: Played on:May 22, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Short and long pads are always nice!-Well maintained-Friendly locals-Near to other disc golf courses-Some shot variety

Cons:

-Several (6-8) holes are quite repetitive: Field/Open hole, 250-400, a little blind.-Bad layout: While they have done a great job mowing, why are there so many field holes in a course surrounded by trees? Only a handful of holes play in the woods in any meaningful way. This means the course is hot as hades, too.-Unguarded or badly guarded baskets. With the field holes, they\'re just out in the open. The blind shots guard them, but as long as your drive is decent then you should have a solid birdie chance and essentially no chance at a bogey. One basket is randomly elevated; they just made the pile 8 feet tall.-The signage is bad. There are a few spots where it\'s confusing, and there were a couple of signs to help sometimes. But it wasn\'t great. On the wooded holes, the paint on the boxes is wearing out, so it took a little looking to find the right box we wanted. -Long and short boxes. Yeah, they\'re there, but most of them are the same shot with the long box just being farther away. Given the style of the course, there\'s not much else they could\'ve done.

Other Thoughts:

This course is definitely overrated. We weren\'t able to play Eagles Nest, but I\'ve heard from multiple people that Flat Rocks is better. We had played Hippo\'s Ridge earlier, and that was an excellent course. I would not recommend making any sort of a special trip to play this course on its merits alone.I always end reviews by speculating what kind of player I\'d be if the course I\'m reviewing were my home course: meaning I played it 4+ times a month. If that were the case with Flat Rocks I wouldn\'t take much stock in having a variety of discs, 5 would be plenty. I wouldn\'t have a variety of throws either. Maybe a tomahawk, but certainly no long bending anhyzers or rollers or the like. I would develop a solid straight throw with my mids and fairway drivers. I\'d be able to throw pretty far but without much heed for accuracy. I wouldn\'t have much regard for accuracy, really. And my putting would be limited to just backhands since I wouldn\'t have needed to develop straddle putts, forehands, or the like. I would plateau in skill pretty quickly, probably.
