All you need is a putter! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a good course for beginners because all you need is a putter. The longest hole is some 130 feet. The are tee signs for all the holes and it is pretty easy to figure out where to shoot from, etc. It does look like it is attached to a nice community park with a very clean bathroom facility as of when I played.

Cons:

It does seem like this is still a work in progress. There really didn't seem to be a tee pad for hole #5 so we made do from right next to the tee sign. Also, it looks like you tee it up for hole #7 from a walking path at the top of the hill but it isn't readily apparent.

Other Thoughts:

With a little work (cleaning up some underbrush, more appropriately sized tee pads, etc) this would make for a really nice little short-game course.

I would totally upgrade my rating if the course was clear of weeds and underbrush and maybe had pine needles covering the entire course, which for this little area would give it unbelievable eye appeal and increase the overall playing experience at a very minimal cost.

Short course that's in good shape. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 30, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great for practicing midrange/putter shots. Good use of elevation. Can be played very quickly. Nice baskets, decent pads.

Cons:

Not a huge variety of shots here. They placed the baskets around some trees, so avoiding those is the major challenge in most cases, as otherwise they're generally straight shots. Pads are a bit small.

Other Thoughts:

It looks like they've made some improvements to the course, as they now have full signage/baskets/pads. The fairways/walkways are in nice shape as well. If you're looking to air out some discs, this is not a course for you, but if you want to play a quick round and try to get an ace, it's a fun course.

first time players course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 7, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

short course, no need for much more than a mid range disc or putter.

Cons:

short, no tee boxes or signs. alot of holes almost overlap with each other. can be kind of confusing on where to tee from.

Other Thoughts:

fun little course with the area they had to work with.

A warm-up for Glenn Hilton. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 7, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

New (just built and opened June 2nd 2012), very nice baskets, easy to find, it was in the woods so some trees to navigate round, quick play/warm-up if you are headed to Glenn Hilton in Hickory which is nearby.

Cons:

VERY short, played more like a Par 2 course (nothing states what Par is for this course), no tee pads or designated start points (as of this review), one hole was right next to a house that had a large NO TRESPASSING sign to scare off would-be disc retrievers.

Other Thoughts:

I realize it's still very new and there may still be some work to be done in the future but as of this update this course is no more than either a warm-up for Glenn Hilton or a time filler if you took your kids to play at the park. It's too short to do much else with it, so even with the addition of tee pads the distance will remain the same. I consider myself a scratch player and the first time through (calling each hole a Par 3) I shot a 6 under. We played through twice and I finished with a 9 under.
