A College with a disc course cramed in. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 15, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

-Nice to play in a small college atmosphere.
-Hot coeds on the nature trail (at least a pro for me)
- The largest tee pads I have ever throw from
-Most holes have tee signs

Cons:

- Only 9 holes
-Some tee signs are missing
- Be prepared to search for holes 4 and 8.
- A very LONG hike back to your car after you play the 9 holes
-Baskets could be closer to the next tee pad.
-Back four are slightly grown up were weeds were left growing around the baskets. (eight had weeds growing through the bottom of the basket)

Other Thoughts:

The designer did a decent job of using what they were given for the 9 holes but unfortunately they did not have a whole lot to work with. The concrete tee pads are well kept and the largest I have ever played. The first three holes are located in a wooded square about the size of a football field with sidelines located right in the middle of the campus. This is nice because you can see and meet some of the students walking the perimeter walking trail. The moderately wooded area in the first 3 holes does not really provide the player an easy shot without a little luck so your will be provided with a challenge even at a shorter distance. The scenery is nice while playing the first three but you have to really have to search for the remainder of the course. After you cross the street, 4 through 9 are more open but not very long. After you finish 9 you will be very far away from where you started. I would say that a third of the walk will be getting back to where you started for your next 9. I talked to some locals while teeing off on hole one and they said they were just playing one through three over and over. I did not understand why until I took my voyage back to my car from the 9. In fact, after playing 9 I only played the first three again because of the lack of loop. If I went to this college or lived close, It would be good enough for me to play 3 or 4 times a week, but I would not travel specifically to visit it if I lived out of town. That being said, course is playable and I commend GSW for giving up the space to allow Disc Golf on their campus. A visiting player will find the Course at GA Veterans State Park very enjoyable and less than 20 miles away so if you wanted to go for GA Veterans State Park, you could play GSW as as second course and make a day out of it.

(A lefty will enjoy this course as well as a righty)
