Awesome course with challenging holes. All the treed holes had grass fairways. The meadows were mown to leave a true fairway on the open holes. Benches and great tee marker signs with distances for each tee. Pin poles attach to top of baskets for blind approach shots. Not a course for beginners.

They have new concrete pads on the white tees, but they were only 5' long (Except for #13 which was twice as long). Weird!! Definitely hilly with plenty of side hill lies. #17 is just ridiculous, with no real line to throw through the overabundance of low-hanging trees. You literally just have to get lucky to birdie/par this hole.

Whoever maintains this course does a great job and there is plenty of wildlife to be seen throughout the course.

WOW WOW WOW!!!

Its rare that a course I haven't heard of blows me away but Greenfield certainly did just that.

Every hole was in good to great shape. Grass was cut, branches and brush was never in the way on the ground floor. It is obvious that a lot of work has gone in to keep this place in tip top shape.

Course design gets an A++. Really great mix of short and long as well as open and wooded. Plenty of backhand and sidearm friendly holes and lots of neutral holes (neither favoring backhand or sidearm). There is also a good mix of uphill, downhill, and flat which isn't something you see every day. This is definitely one of the best designed courses I have ever played.

I really enjoyed the flags in the baskets. Not something you see every day and they were a nice touch. Side note, the flag on 18 broke and now the pole is in the chains. Im sure this is in the works to be fixed

Tee pads and signs were very well made and were a pleasure to play on. I would like to see pin position markers on the tee signs.

There are so many great holes on this course that would be signature holes on 90% of all courses in the world. Its always fun to play a course that has a handful of spectacular holes instead of the somewhat boring same ole same ole.

There are very few cons for this course, everything was in very good shape when I played here in May.

Hole 17 from the Blues could use a little trimming. There were vines hanging in the middle of the very small gap which was probably not by design but could use some cleanup regardless.

There wasn't a tee sign for the blue pad on the water hole.

Parking and bathrooms are an issue but this is a big park so there are options, just not many near the start of the course.

The cedars on hole 15 i believe it was (big left to right uphill shot) could use some trimming near the ground floor in order to create a playable stance/throw.

Tee signs didn't show what pin position the baskets were currently in.

I can't say enough about this track. Manicured, well designed, multiple tee pad options to test golfers of all skill levels, challenging with a good mix of par 3s and 4s. What more could you possibly want?

I highly recommend playing this course if you are anywhere near the area. Hawk Hollow will always be my #1 in VA but Greenfield just jumped into a strong 2nd place.

Layout - Greenfield DGC is one hell of a course. It has a tremendous design and offers up a little something for players of all skill levels.

It has three tees (R,W,B) on every hole and two pin positions on half of the holes. This review will mainly be looking at the white and blue tees as I did not pay much attention to the red. I'll also note that I played the course the day before a tournament and I'm not sure if the flagged OB is always in play.

The course is expertly set up in that the whites can give a fun challenge to better Am level players while the blues can offer up a championship level course for Pros.

Overall there's just an absolute great mixture of landscapes and variety in hole types. You have everything form big open bomber holes to extremely technical wooded shots and then some that combine both.

Many of the holes give you a variety of options and allow you to be very creative in how you approach the hole. You'll need to be able to throw multiple kinds of shots and be ready to scramble when you aren't in position.

Most of the higher par holes here make you hit gaps while playing for very technical positions and navigating rolling elevation changes. There's definitely some of the best par 4's you'll ever play here.

There's also a really nice flow to the course in that it balances the round to keep things interesting and never overbearing. You'll play a really tough hole backed up by an easier one; a tough wooded hole backed up by one out in the open.

The greens here and basket placements are overall extremely well done. There are places where going right at the basket is almost impossible without a perfect shot and you are instead forced to play a shot where you're trying to land at circles edge. This forces you to think about how you want to attack each hole and play percentages for what you should be going for.

There is natural OB here by way of a creek and small pond which comes in to play on three holes. Again the variety here is nice, you have a water carry, a shot towards water and on #18 the ground slopes hard towards the water for a big tee shot so it's definitely possible to cut roll or get on edge and end up there.

That brings up another point which is that the elevation changes here are used well to force you to land the disc certain ways. It seems every little thing about the design was thought out to create challenge.

I'm not sure if the flagged/tall grass OB is always in play on the holes it was set up but again it adds a really nice fair challenge to the course mainly on some of the more open holes.

I really can't say enough about the design of this course it's right up there with anything I've played so far.

Atmosphere - It's a public park and the course is in the back. It's a mixture of open rolling hills with the wooded holes mainly tucked in down at the bottom along the creek area. It's a beautiful piece of property and has some cool features. It's very well maintained to boot.

Equipment - Concrete tees, baskets in good shape. Solid tee signs listing distance with hole maps. There's a course map at the beginning. Strategic bench placements.

Layout - Anything here is mostly nitpicking but...

The main drawback to the course is that some of the long to long par 3's seem more like tweeners. A couple are near impossible to get inside the circle. To me #5 could almost be a par 4 from long to long.

There's a couple holes that to me seem a bit cluttered with trees, although I'll admit if you stay on line they are not in the way.

Atmosphere - There's some really tall grass/brush you can get in to if you're off line. So don't do that. There also appears to be some kind of cross country track throughout the course. I encountered zero non discers when I played but I can see this happening.

Equipment - The only problem here is the tees are like half tees in spots. Honestly this bothered me more than anything else with the course.

Greenfield is easily one of the best public courses I've ever played. It combines design, looks and a fun time so I highly recommend everyone to play this course; including newbies play the reds.

Part of me really wanted to give this course a 5 but I think the course falls just a bit short of that. I think it lacks just a bit of wow factor that keeps it from being best of the best... but ignore that because this course is all the good descriptive words so come play it.

The course offers outstanding variety. From long, open holes to short, wooded challenges, and from uphill toughies to downhill inclines that will tempt you to empty your bag, Greenfield DGC delivers a solid and enjoyable design. The course features three teepads on each hole with a significant difference in difficulty between the red, white and blue teepads.

With a par of 62 that seems fair, Greenfield offers six par-4 holes and a par-5.

Hole #1 is a classic opener - downhill to a slightly sloping green. With tall grasses providing a border and golf-type feel, the first hole is an excellent warm-up opportunity. Holes #2 and #3 are shorter wooded holes into a shaded grassy area. Hole #4 is a longer, open hole over rolling hills, and then Hole #5 is a tough, dogleg right with tight boundaries and plenty of trees. Hole #6 is another wooded hole with several intimidating trees near the teepad. Hole #7 requires an uphill throw before disappearing into the woods. Hole #8 offers a rare ace run before the lengthy Hole #9, which requires an accurate drive between trees into an open but uphill field that leads to a basket on a mound.

The course is two nine-hole loops, as the ninth hole finishes next to the parking lot.

The back nine offers excellent diversity as well. Hole #10 is a lovely downhill, into-the-woods hole and then Hole #11 brings the water into play with a short drive required over the corner of the pond. Hole #12 requires a tricky dogleg right shot. A couple holes on the back nine have been changed - Hole #13 is still long but is now "only" 830 feet and is flat with bushes and a stream serving as the left-side border. Hole #14 appears to be changed from the original design too - now it is a short hole with a seemingly-fallen tree obscuring a direct route to the basket. Hole #15 is a tough through-the-valley, dogleg-right hole requiring an accurate drive to make par. Hole #16 is a challenging, heavily-wooded hole where placement is crucial to setting up your next shot. Hole #17 is a short wooded hole, and then the course concludes with a cool #18, which requires a well-placed drive through a gap in the trees leading to an open but sloped green.

The signage and other amenities at Greenfield are excellent.

Too many trees. Several of the holes would benefit from some tree removal. A couple of the most wooded holes require guesswork in locating and remaining in the fairway.

Short teepads. As one reviewer stated, they're closer to "half a teepad."

Some muddiness possible. The trees on several holes offer a welcomed shield from the heat during the summer but may result in the course being damp in several places.

Many of the holes are eye-catching and fun-inducing. This beautiful course appears to be well-maintained. If you're traveling on I-81, you should definitely include Greenfield DGC as a destination worth visiting.

This course has all you could ever ask for. Three tees per hole with the middle and backs both concrete. Middle tees had signage. Lots of elevation. And trees everywhere! This is basically a wooded technical course with a blanket of grass and hard earth underneath. Very small chances of losing your discs except for the water holes. There are benches for most holes and plenty of trash cans. Every hole seemed to have multiple routes forcing you to think on every shot. I love a course that doesn't force you into a certain shot. Most of the pars were fair, while hard they were not discouraging. The front and back 9's play in a loop. I imagine in tournament shotgun start play it is easy to get to any starting hole.

The cons are few but they did keep me from giving a perfect 5.0. I preferred the feel of the front 9 a lot more than the back 9. The flow of the front seemed to work while the flow of the back seemed forced. While water holes are fun they were just wet mud in the fairways and greens. I'm talking the kind of mud you sink past your ankles in (talking to you hole 11). And it's been dry for over a week. Another con is hole 13..... why????? 900 ft from the middle tees? Oh and uphill????? It plays more like 1200 ft from the middle tees, that's how uphill it is. And it's one of the few holes with no trees, on top of a hill in the middle of a field, so the wind was probably 30mph once I finally threw 3 full drives to have a circles edge putt. It's just not fun. Shorten that hole and give it some obsticles. The following hole #14 is the second worst hole so just get redesign these to get to the fun #15.

Even with the cons I have no doubt this is the best course in Virginia. It is much funner and more broken in and taken care of than Mountain Lake. I played late winter but I would suggest bug spray, I imagine the gnats get ridiculous. The concrete tees are very short but they did a great job of crush run in the back of the tees to lengthen them. Bottom line this is a destination course worth a 4 hour drive to play.

18 single position DisCatcher baskets with dual concrete tees and a short natural rec tee. Good signage and navigation. Excellent use of the rolling elevation, pond, terrain and natural land features. Phenomenal course flow and variety of hole design from open and wooded to short and long holes. Two loops of 9 holes back to the parking lot. The course is well maintained and manicured by the park. Beautiful property with the panoramic mountain peaks surrounding the course. Portapotty in parking lot.

Really have to nit pick for cons. The concrete tees are a little short, almost half a tee, but the room and gravel behind the concrete works ok. Hole 14 plays close to building structures, breaking up the seclusion feeling. There's a couple rough spots you can lose a disc. The long and rec tees had no signs. No bathroom with running water. Beware of some runners through the course.

Greenfield should be on everyone's hit list traveling anywhere near Roanoke, it's only 10 minutes off I-81, and IMO it's the best public course in Virginia. It is suitable for anyone from rank beginners to touring pros. When I played 4th of July weekend there was some tall grass rough on the open holes, but the fairways were still fair. When I played a few weeks later there was much less tall grass rough and the course was in pristine condition.

Hole 1 welcomes you with a nice open par 3 downhill bomb and slight right to left slope.

Hole 2 and 3 take you into the woods with right and left technical par 3 turning holes.

Hole 4 takes you back into the open with a long uphill par 4.

Hole 5 and 6 take you into the woods for a couple short straight-ish technical par 3 shots.

Hole 7 is a solid par 4 that tees from the open to a landing zone and the basket tucked into the woods straight back.

Hole 8 is maybe the easiest par 3, playing downhill and a left to right slope, it's tight off the long tee, but really just an approach shot with a putter.

Hole 9 is maybe my favorite on the course, it's a difficult open par 4 that tee's off over a valley to a landing zone, then you have to clear the rough to a slightly elevated green if you want a look at birdie. I lost a disc in the rough my first time playing although the wind was really whipping around.

Hole 10 is a fun par 3 downhill semi open RHBH hyzer tee shot with the basket tucked into the woods.

Hole 11 is the somewhat intimidating pond hole. There's a lot of water between you and the basket on this par 3 and just enough trees to make you think about your routes. You can layup somewhat, but so much fun gunning for it. I hit the basket my first time playing it. Emboldened by that, my second time playing I ended up in the drink, although I threw the wrong disc mistakingly. Farewell orange Firebird that matches the color of the bottom of the pond.

Hole 12 is a wooded tunnel par 3 with sloping right to left elevation and the basket to the right. Great for RHFH or LHBH, really hard for those without that shot.

Hole 13 is the uphill open par 5 1040' beast. Both times I played this hole with a stiff headwind and made it feel like 2000'.

Hole 14 is a relief after that, a par 3 that you shoot over the valley of trees.

Hole 15 is a short straight par 3 tunnel shot with the horizontal tree protecting the basket.

Hole 16 is a beast of a wooded par 4 with a fairway that snakes a bit. The elevation comes into play with it being uphill off the tee and sloping right to left all the way to the well protected basket.

Hole 17 is a short technical par 3 with the creek running along the fairway and the pond behind the basket.

Hole 18 is a par 4 that plays from the woods to the open with a hard right to left slope to the basket.

This is one of the best courses I have played. Once completed it will be championship level, with three tee placements for each hole. They have done a tremendous job utilizing the landscape. It forces you to use every trick you have in your bag. Almost every hole had two distinct lines to choose from, providing diversity in your approach.

The tee pads NEED to be bigger. On a course this perfect the tee pads should top notch. That would be my only con. The short settings do not have cement tees yet, but are clearly marked. Would be 5/5 with better tee pads.

This is a must play if you are anywhere near. One of the best public course I have seen and we have some great ones here in Oregon. This was my second time playing it in two years and it has only gotten better. I look forward to the continued improvements to this already amazing course.

- I think my favorite aspect of this course was the design and layout. Each hole was unique and the flow was perfect, by the end of the round I felt like I played 5+ different types of holes. 1. Narrow tee shot out to open fairway 2. Open tee shot to a narrow green. 3. wooded finesse hole. 4. Open long par 5. 5.Water hole . In addition I never felt like the basket ought to be in a different location or they missed any opportunity to improve any particular hole. Everything was very well thought out.
- The next biggest pro to me was how well maintained the course was. Maybe my timing was lucky. But the open holes were mowed nicely and the wooded holes were trimmed back perfectly. On top of that I didn't notice a single piece of litter either(The way a course should be) There was an park employee on the course working on it and he had so much pride in the course, I am optimistic the course will remain in great shape at all times.
- Multiple tee boxes very logically positioned with great signage. They placed each tee sign by the white (intermediate length tees) which was very convenient. Each sign was well detailed and the navigation signs between each basket to the next tee was perfect.
- The views of the surrounding area were great. Added to my wonderful disc golf experience.
- Very convenient to I-81 (less than 10 minutes)

- I can see how someone might point out the crushed gravel tee pads. Tee pads have never been a major issue to me so I can't complain too much about that at all. I will say if they did have a concrete tees I would have no problem giving this course a 5.0

Was lucky enough to plan a 5 day disc golf road trip early this summer. I hit up a total of 12 courses. I liked all but one of them but Greenfield proved to be my favorite. In the future I will seek out other courses installed by this designer. A++ work for sure

I got to play this course when I visited family in Roanoke. I'm from Texas so the elevation changes were the biggest pro that I noticed. It was nice to throw up and down for a change.

I noticed that I also used almost every disc in my bag. The only way that happens is if a course forces me into many different positions. Thus, I can honestly say this is one of the most well rounded courses I've played. You'll throw right, left, straight, short, long bombs, flicks, everything....

There were plenty of birdie opportunities but none of them are gimmies. Even the shorter holes have some risk associated or have some nice guardian trees. If you get a birdie, it's because you earned it.

The course also does a great job of changing up the shot as you go along. You don't feel like any one shot is the same as one before. You'll play in and out of the woods all day. The variety is on point.

All holes have three tees, allowing the beginner to the open player to be challenged. There are several benches that are in key spots, but more wouldn't hurt. Tee signs are professional.

The one thing I have a problem about on this course is the tee boxes! This is the only thing keeping me from giving this course a 5. I'm used to throwing on concrete and anything else is inferior. It means a lot to not have to worry about your footing.

The only other thing that brings this course down Is the hanging vines on some hole in the woods. The challenge of the trees and branches is awesome but the vines can really kill a shot.

This course reminds me of the premier NC courses I grew up playing. It's only a short drive off the interstate with plenty of stuff around to eat, etc...

With concrete this could be one of the best courses on this side of the country, no doubt. I highly recommend it.

- Greenfield provides more variety than any other course in the area. The course has wide open holes, short ace runs, holes that rely on placement shots, and risk/reward shots. There are holes that favor both RHBH and LHBH players. It's obvious a great deal of thought went into the planning and layout of this course.

- There are several unique holes. #10 is a steep downhill shot that gives you the option to throw low through a gap in the trees or bomb over them. #11 is a short hole that plays across a pond with the basket set 20' from the edge of the water. #15 is another relatively short hole with the basket guarded by a tree growing horizontally in front.

- The course is well-maintained by the local club and the county parks & rec department. For instance the fairways in the woods are generally clear of leaves and debris, and some of them have even been seeded with grass.

- There is a kiosk at the parking lot with a large course map, local club/tournament info, and a spot for lost & found discs.

- Tee signs are excellent and provide hole info for all three tees (blue, white & red). There are also directional signs between several holes to help navigate the course.

- Benches and trash cans are located at several holes. The local club is slowly getting benches added at all white tees. There are several bridges at creek crossings (the bridge leading to 11 is particularly nice).

- Very scenic course, some of the views are really nice (hole 13's basket overlooks most of the park). Once you get away from the parking lot it feels secluded. There is a walking/horse trail that runs through parts of the course but it's seldom used and I've never had any issues with other park users.

- Gravel tee pads, although better than nothing, tend to get rutted over time. However there are currently plans in place to have concrete tee pads installed in early 2015.

- Some of the open holes are WIDE open (ie. 1, 4, 13, 18) so the course isn't as technical as some of the other area courses (Sontag, Ferrum). This design was necessary due to the wide open fields on the property but it can be a little repetitive.

- Portions of the course can get pretty grown-up in the summer if you get off the fairway. Granted, this course opened in May 2014 so this should be expected and over time the course will get more broken in.

- There currently aren't any facilities at the course such as pavilions, picnic tables, water fountain, etc. Drink machines are located at the soccer fields nearby. There is a portable toilet at the parking area.

Overall this is an excellent course, definitely top 3 is this part of the state. This is the type of course that will make you a better player over time as it requires a variety of shots and types of discs. As the course develops even further (concrete tees, more benches, etc.) it will only get better. It's only a 10-minute drive from I-81 so if you're passing through the area it's definitely worth the stop.

Big thanks to Botetourt County and the Roanoke Disc Golf Club for getting this course built. It's a huge improvement going from two mediocre 9-hole courses in the Roanoke area to a course as nice as Greenfield.

Championship level course with a great mix of holes; long short, left and right, tight wooded to open bombs, great use of elevation as well. There are 3 tees on all the holes, they are gravel at the moment however I have knowledge that concrete is in the works for the future. The course is located only 10 min off of I-81 so if you are passing through the area this is the course to stop and play hands down. It is easy to navigate and has tee signs at all the white tees.

As of right now the tees would probably be a con but as mentioned in the pros concrete is in the works. There are some areas of rough that are pretty thick so stay on the fairway or there is the risk of losing a disc. Course needs garbage bins and more benches but again this is being worked on presently.

Go play this course and you will have fun and see that this is one of the best courses in VA if not on east coast.

Fantastic course!! Really enjoyed this courses for its habits of making you switch up your throw. A good challenge for even the greats but not unbearable.

Could use some trashcans and maybe some benches but overall really awesome course!!

Course layout is excellent. A great mix of open and wooded shots. There is a seemingly fair balance of left, right and straight shots. The rolling hills create some excellent elevation changes both up and down. Water comes into play in the form of small creeks on several holes as well as a pond on hole 11 that must be thrown over from the white and blue tees.

The par seems fair, despite being higher than most 18 hole courses. There are legitimate par 4's on this course, although hole 4 could arguably be a par 3 at least from white and red. The par 5 is over 1000ft from blue and uphill the whole way in a beautiful open "greenfield."

You'll need every shot in your bag for this one, which makes for an excellent course.

The course is challenging enough for all skill levels while remaining somewhat attainable for novices via the red tees. Oh, right I should have mentioned that each hole has 3 tees to choose from. More than half of the holes require some technical precision to hit the fairways while the remaining holes allow you to open up.

Navigation is very intuitive despite the lack of signage(which admittedly might be overkill). You shouldn't need a map to navigate. Holes 9 and 18 finish at the parking lot while Holes 1 and 10 start there, the way all DG courses should be.

Course is VERY well maintained to be as sprawling as it is. Fairways are manicured every time I go out, with higher grass to mark the rough. The scenery/wildlife is also excellent and creates a great ambiance.

DISCLAIMER: Some of these cons will be corrected in the near future as I'm aware that the club is in the process of completing some additional work. With some of these minor things corrected, this course could garner a perfect score in the future.

There aren't any benches or trashcans as of yet. This course is long and can take a lot out of you. Without benches you should be prepared to go through the liquids pretty quickly. The addition of bag-holders on the signs would be a great idea.

The tee pads are all fine gravel and/or natural at the moment. I know the club plans to pour concrete for these in the future.

The course is pretty wooded and thick in spots so the potential to lose a disc is fairly high. It also holds water after a rain. Not as bad as some other courses I've been on but if it has recently rained definitely keep this in mind.

Easily the best course in the area and should be a must play when driving through. It's located only 10 minutes or so off of I-81 in an area with plenty of food and other things to do (Flying Mouse Brewery is located a few miles from the course).

Don't hesitate to drive to play this one! Excellent course with the potential to truly become something special in the near future!

-Great mix of open and wooded holes mixed along with short and long holes.
-The course looks to be well kept with the fairways being mowed consistently.
-A course map at beginning, along with very nice hole maps at the beginning of each hole.
-Large Tee boxes for those who love having space.
-A wonderful view of the surrounding mountains.
-Multiple Tee boxes.

-No trash cans
-No benches
-Some extremely dense foliage off the fairways of some holes

As of now the course is shaping up to be one of my favorite courses in Va. Since it is new (as of writing this review) they are still supposedly working on getting permanent concrete tee pads from hole sponsored funding. Considering the sports complex where the course is located has them, I wouldn't be surprised if benches or trashcans will be coming later to prevent litter. As of now though, the course is very well maintained in the very least. The layout is fair but also challenging and it looks like they did a great job clearing out wooded areas for fairways whilst keeping enough to make shots a challenge.

1. Located in a well groomed park
2. Holes are laid out very well w/ great variation
3. Large gravel tee's
4. Red, White, and Blue tee's
5. Course Map at beginning of course
6. Signs at each hole with distance, par, and map

1. Buggy
2. Undergrowth off fairways
3. No Trashcans
4. No Benches

This is by far the best course in the area. I really liked Blacksburg before the redesign and even though it's still good, this course kills it. With so much variation between each hole you will never get bored on this course. Course provides several unique holes, hole 10 comes to mind. I would like to see benches installed at some of the tee's and maybe a trashcan or two. I could see this place getting littered after a while. Undergrowth on the fairways is very minimal, however if you do veer off the fairway, (which we all do occasionally), prepare for hell. After a while it will get broken it, but for now that can be a bit rough. Bring the bug spray and your bag of discs, you're going to need them. Would definitely recommend to players of any skill level.

Course requires a lot of different shot types,from tight wooded shots to big arm bombs,a lot of work put in to build this course and it shows,when concrete tees are installed this course will be most professional looking course in the region,blue tees are definitely a challenge for even the most experienced,wooded holes give a terrific break from the sun allowing for course to be playable in summer months
