Perfect day for disc golf 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 29, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course offered a good challenge for a newbie golfer like me (less that 1 year experience).
Several long drives to really let one go.
Although the tees are not cement, they were in good shape.
The fairways were very well mowed and beautifully kept. Some of the best I've ever seen.
All the baskets were in good shape.
Most of the tees/holes were easy to find for a first timer.

Cons:

There were a couple of holes that were different than the most recent map -- no biggie, we found every one.
There are certainly some woody hazards that could eat a disc -- though I made it through the course today without losing any discs.

Other Thoughts:

a few well placed tee hint markers (like Lake Fayetteville has) would make it easier to find the next tee from the previous basket.

It just needs larger tee markers... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 30, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

COURSE HAS 18 HOLES AS APPOSED TO WHAT THE INFO SAYS.

Course is located in JB Hunt park. The course has rolling hills with a small creek running through the the back side of the park. Very good mix of holes distance and shape wise. Many of the holes play over the creek, but it's clean enough to retrieve your disc easily if it lands in there. All of the holes are really fun to play. Holes are long, but still have a technical challenge to them. Elevation plays a huge role here too. Short holes uphill feel like they go on forever. The course also has a shorter, technical side. Trees are trimmed enough though so it's not too brushy. Baskets are DISCatchers and are in great condition. Restrooms and running water are located near hole 1. Hole 9 ends up fairly close to the parking lot.

Cons:

The tee markers are just nylon patches in the ground and are incredibly difficult to find (I guess thats where the get the name j.b. HUNT). It took an hour and a half to play 9 holes. Even with a map the markers are almost impossible to find. I would highly recommend playing with someone who knows where the tees are. Even if you do find the tee markers it's just a grass tee pad. It might be located on a side hill which can give you some bad footing.

Other Thoughts:

What's killing this course is the lack of tee pads/markers. If it had those it would be a 4-4.5 course. It really makes me disappointed that this course doesn't have much marking. I hope to see improvements on this course soon.
**7 Tee markers are in the ground. Still don't know about tee pads. Hopefully I'll be able to make another trip there to update you.

Update 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 6, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I love this course it has soooo much possibility. The elevation changes are great so fun to play. They just got sponsored for the last 9 holes so that will be coming soon. The grass is always so nice there.

Cons:

Bad thing about this course is there is NOOO signs but soon it will be fully completed.

Other Thoughts:

If you need any help with navigation jump on NWADGC.com. If you need a guide send me a message.
