The baskets are good quality and course has a good amount of variety considering the small area it has to work with. The signage is also surprisingly good. Once we found the first hole it was 'mostly' straightforward determining the layout of each one.

The biggest con was too much overlap. We were one of only 2 groups playing and had to pause several times to allow each other to play. Can't imagine what it would be like with more groups. It was also difficult finding the first hole and overall navigation was rough since several baskets were reused for multiple holes.

The entire course area comes in at 2.3 acres (I measured on Google Maps...). I was very impressed with the 'outside the box' thinking on this one to be able to fit 18 holes with a relatively varied distance and layout in that small of an area...but unfortunately, more isn't always better.

I would rate this course at least a star higher if they had settled for a 9 hole course. It would reduce or eliminate the overlap issue and improve overall navigation.

It was far from what I would call a good course, but as a free activity to spend some time on vacation, it did the job.

Disclaimer: I only played this course once, and had to leave before completing every hole due to weather.

I'm giving the designers of Hover Links some major credit. With 9 baskets in a small field, they managed to squeeze in 18 different holes. It's debatable if that's a good thing.
- Pulling into the parking lot, and walking to the park, there's a great smell and feel of being in the Low Country. You're less than a mile from the ocean, and there's something calming about that.
- If you can decipher this course's map and layout, you can navigate almost any course. I consider it a major victory I found all but a handful of tees, and those were simple enough locales to throw from a general area.
- The course's layout weaves all across a small, sub-two-acre field/wooded area. With not much woods to speak of, the designers did their best to utilize the limited wooded areas they have to work with.
- #1 starts smack dab, in the dead-center of the field to a wooded basket. This hole alone is the epitome of your entire round. #2 is the rarest of holes here, an exclusively wooded layout. From there, you revert to a wooded tee to the open field basket on #3. So....you getting my drift about the course's layout?
- By the end of the round, you will be extremely familiar with the entire field as you're crossing back and forth plenty of times. You know when you run on a treadmill instead of going on an actual, outdoor run how it seems to take much longer? Something to do with staying in place the whole time messes with your mind? That's the feeling here. It felt like a slow going round, yet I finished up in less than 45 minutes.
- With baskets and tees and trees and obstacles and plenty of room available, you probably can create a layout as fun, if not more fun, than the existing layout. If I were playing here more than once, I'd have starting picking the baskets I wanted to throw at.

Oh, where to begin. I don't know. I guess the designers were too ambitious thinking they could coax an 18-hole layout here. I'd like to see how many fairways cross over each other at any one point in the field.
- You couldn't safely play here if there were more than a handful of groups. And this isn't a good enough course that you would want to be waiting for other groups to clear before you could tee off.
- Looking at the older course pictures, I'm jealous of how nice this course once looked. Needless to say, the maintenance and attention has severely waned over the years. So much so, that there's rough/underbrush/grass & saplings growing into and above the cage for two baskets (#8/12 & 7/17).
- From a symmetrical flow, this course will mess with those of us who enjoy a rhythm to a design, or who simply are OCD. Unlike course with two pads/one basket or one pad/two baskets, there's a typical flow of 1/10, 2/11...9/18. Not here. #1 shares a basket with 11. #2 shares a basket with 14. When you finish your round on #18, well that's the same basket you threw at on #5. On one hand, it does give a little more variety, on the other hand, it's just different in the 17-hole course sort of way.
- Signage is almost non-existent. The holes that have tee areas are marked by wooden framed areas. There are plenty of tees that are missing their markers.
- The hole lengths that are listed on this website vary from what's actually the case. Throughout the round, lengths seemed as if they were off by a good 75 - 100 feet, both long and short. Trust your eyes and judgement, and not necessarily the listed lengths.

Hover Links serves a purpose in that it's a disc golf course in a destination locale. If you're a local who enjoys disc golf, my condolences to you as there's not a viable option nearby.
- This is a case where less is more. One nine hole loop through the field would cut down on much of the confusion and overlap. Take the best nine layouts and you've got a better course. The extra holes actually hurt the overall enjoyment of this course.
- This is a good locale for practicing. There's good room in the field to unleash some drives. You have your pick of baskets to throw at for approach shots or putting. Figure after a confusing round, you'll want to unleash your frustrations.
- The online course map is both necessary and part of the problem. On a large computer monitor, it's passable. On a smart phone, with so many crossing and/or dotted lines, well, it's half the problem. Multiple times throughout my round, I wasn't sure that I was either teeing off from the correct spot or throwing to the correct tee.
- If the 18 holes had there own individual fairways, the course's perception would be drastically different. Shoot, I may actually like the course if this were laid out as most courses are. If this were laid out throughout a park, I dare say this would be rated as an average course in the 2.5 range.
- I'm giving the course a 1.5 as it is. There are enough decent layouts that it makes for an ok time here. Simply by cleaning up the course, cutting out the growth in the baskets, re-establishing putting circles, the course would be more appealing. As is, this is about as simplistic a layout as you'll see. Oh well.

+Empty... I've played it twice and while there is a church, daycare, and consignment (I think?) store dropoff all there, I've never once seen another disc golfer. Or anyone else wishing to use the park area
+Tricky... while the course is not long, it IS a bit tricky which makes it more challenging in a mini golf sort of way. I liked that aspect, and I'll elaborate more later
+It's the only "18 hole" course on the island although it is nine baskets. They are laid out in a fashion that doesn't make it seem like it is a 9 hole just doubled, each hole is a bit different if that makes sense.
+The baskets are in good condition

--If you are biking to the course, you have to cross 278 which is the main 4+ lane divided artery that runs through the island. While there is a light at the intersection, I've never seen it turn and there is no button to push. I will elaborate more below.
--Upkeep is prone to be a bit lax. The first few times I played this course, the grass was about a foot tall all throughout the baseball field which is what the course intersects over and over. However, I played it this morning (7/20/16) and it looked like it was mowed yesterday, making the course much easier to navigate
--The pavillion in the middle is plumbed but has no water
--It is confusing to find... the map is good, definitely download it, but even with the map, some tees are hard to find. It wasn't until my fourth round that I found tee 7 was across the parking lot from the park, and some tee boxes are buried so deep you'll never see them anymore.
--The baskets have lost a lot of their markings, so in many cases you aren't completely clear on which basket goes to which hole unless you are familiar with it beforehand.

Okay so I said it played like a mini golf course, and it does. I said that was a good thing because the course is kind of short. I'm new to this game but I can throw my midrange discs 200+ feet which means that on any given hole I can easily get within putting range in 1-2 shots. Thus, if the course were open, it wouldn't be fun at these distances. But the course isn't open. You'll have to repeatedly throw under low hanging live oak trees, around magnolias and palmettos, AROUND a backstop, possibly through a pavillion and/or a jungle gym. Oh, and there are a couple baskets parked precariously close to a creek, as in there's the basket, and a few feet behind it the dirt/mud slopes straight down into the murky creek where you probably don't want to go because it's slippery and well, gators. It definitely adds to the challenge. I'm still too new to the game to understand how a course gets the par ratings... hole 14 is a par 5?!? I am assuming it is just because you have to go around the backstop. I've almost eagled it every time and as a newbie that says something when I can consistently birdie that hole. That being said, if you throw it too straight (you're basically throwing from center field to right behind the backstop) you could possibly run into the backstop but even a seasoned beginner can get around that in one shot. The basket however is another one that is a bit close to the water's edge.
Because of the course's less-than-frequent mowing upkeep, if you play in the morning, consider that you might get waterlogged muddy shoes simply because of all of the dew retained in the foot high grasses and the sandy dirt you have to play through. Again, on my fourth time to the course, everything was finally mowed.

This course was named after Jack Hover, as states on a plaque at the #1 tee.
DEFINITELY download the map. If you are unfamiliar with how the course is laid out, you will need it. The course zigzags all over the place, and some of the teeboxes are buried in the dirt so you might just have to tee off from an approximate location, so I repeat, DEFINITELY DOWNLOAD THE MAP.

I enjoy this course. It's close to my hotel and when it's just me playing, I can hop on a bike and get out there, play and be back before the kids wake up. But I can't give it more than one and a half star because while I (a newbie) personally like it for what it is, I have to compare it against other courses and the overall reviews they are getting. For example, my home course has 40+ reviews and a rating of 2,92, it is in very nice condition, with clear markings and nice concrete pads. This course has maybe half of the tee boxes even findable, no directions on the course, and spotty condition. Thus I rank it as "passable" with 1.5 stars. Personally, I enjoy the challenge of throwing around backstops, under trees, and around jungle gyms, but the novelty will probably wear off soon enough. There are only a couple holes where I can pull out any disc with greater range than my shark on this course, and on those holes, the only reason I use a fairway driver is because I want to practice throwing it.
I kind of feel bad giving it such a "low" score, but I think for this website, it is fair.

Update: I played it again today and am very confused at how #14 is more than twice as long as #6, according to the map they should be almost identical in length, yet 14 is a 354 ft par 5 while 6 is a 162 ft par 3. On #6 you need to thread your drive between the pavillion and a jungle gym, and on 14 you come right back from center field to behind the backstop. No wonder I eagled 14 earlier today.
I also hopped into the creek to retrieve an errant cheetah I threw. I don't recommend this course of action. I finally found a way to get down to the creek (my disc was on the other side of it), and I walked toward a place where I thought I could ford the creek. I started sinking so I quickly hopped to the other side hoping that the landing would be solid. It wasn't. I sank ankle deep into the foul muck and when I took a step, my shoe stayed behind. As I went down to grab my shoe out of the muck, little crabs started scurrying around because my shoe had displaced their home. I finally got my disc and my shoe and returned to the course. So it CAN be done, but bleh.
Finally, I wanted to thank the Eagle Scout who built this course. It's fun and he did a good job on it. I plan to play it at least three more times before I go back home.

The baskets are in good condition. Grounds are actually well manicured. Given the amount of space for the course, it is well utilized.
A pro for me: I had my girls with me, so while they played on the playground for about 30 minutes, I was able to shoot 18 and have them in sight the entire time.

Any guidance would be helpful. There were orange marking flags set up, so I assumed these were the tee pads. I never found the #2 basket, so played a safari hole, which I figured was the same distance.
Be careful when shooting for the baskets along the back of the property - by the thirdbase line of the ball field, which you throw over often. There is a creek in the back and very thick brush - looks like you can easily lose a disc. The aforementioned parking lot can be an issue, since the longer holes parallel this.

Given that it is on church property, I give them many kudos for the effort.
The prior review mentioned baskets not being up, but they are up now (as of 8/10).
There are some unique shots - through/around a shelter, around a backstop, putting over a fence, #9/18 is surrounded by power line poles and trees.
Barely any shade and it gets hot, so bring sunblock.
I was talking with a parishioner afterward and he didn't know much, other than there were more planned improvements. Is this going to rival Idlewild? No. It's a small course, that is really a 9-hole course, nestled on private property that the church is graciously allowing the public to use. If you are in town with family and want a quick getaway to get your disc golf fix, then this course fits the bill.

Hey,at least there is a course in the golf mecca that is Hilton Head Island. 2 sets of tees for the 9 holes. Short, technical, plays through a church parking lot and small park. Some tee's are in and around parking lot on center islands.

Difficult to navigate. Can't tell which baskets represent the 2nd set of 9 from the dual tee's. Too short. Rumor has it that baskets are being pulled out soon.

Get another one Hilton Head! I aced a hole here but it turned out to be a black one. When I approached the basket I was aiming for it had the wrong # on the basket. Damn!

It's the only place to play within 20 miles.

Nearly impossible to find some holes, unseen water comes into play on some holes with a slight overthrow, holes cross over each other constantly making it a nightmare if anyone else is playing (highly unlikely).

Most of the holes are pretty short and pretty open if you are looking for somewhere to get warmed up before attempting somewhere harder. You're best off just making up your own holes if you can't find the signs quickly
