This course is older than I am, but still in excellent shape. It is located in a disc golf only park next to a fire station. The course flows well and requires a wide selection of shots though distance isn't at a premium.

Different tees for different players: Three sets of tees that often present three different lines on any given hole keep the course entertaining and fresh.

The white tees are played the most and offer a fair challenge for beginners and good practice on shot-shaping for recreational players. Downhill hyzer holes 14, 17 while similar in nature, will both be enjoyable for players. Hole 6 also stands out as a solid hole that is very gettable but poses serious potential for rollaways. The strength of the whites is that most of the holes are gettable, but most aren't mindless pitch and putt shots. Johnson usually forces you to hit a gap or land softly on a green, and there is typically a real danger of collecting a bogey if you don't.

The blue tees are more technical than the whites and require a wider range of shots. Distance won't be an issue for most intermediate players, but shot selection might be. For example, 3 from the blue's presents players with a small straight gap about 100 feet off the tee or allows for an outside line to the right, which is usually a pretty safe three, but difficult to get inside circle one throwing. 7 is another excellent hole from the blues as it goes downhill through a gap to a basket slightly to the right. The player is forced to hit the gap while also maintaining distance control to have a look for two. 12 is another fun hole, as the blue tee starts significantly lower than the white tee and forces the player to hit a pretty narrow gap to get a look for two. Most of these holes will be pretty simple threes for more experienced players, but the risk-reward element comes from trying to park a hole and potentially challenging the well-placed trees.

The gold tees are quite challenging and give this course some serious teeth. Most of the gold tees require both hitting a narrow gap either immediately off the tee or midway down the fairway and having excellent distance. I have played this course 20+ times and have probably seen groups using the golds two or three times.

Flow: This course can be busy, but it very rarely backs up, and most of the holes play pretty fast. Hole 9 ends right by the parking lot, which is nice.

Variety: Great mix of wooded and open holes. Most of the open holes have woods in play on one side or the other, and many of the wooded holes aren't super tight. More experienced players won't need to use distance drivers often though they easily could on a few holes like 9, 13, or 18, depending on what tee they play. Generally, this course will reward straight shots as most holes will give up a look for two with a straight shot and the proper distance. This being said, the ideal play is usually not a straight shot. I don't feel that the court favors backhand over forehand but instead gives opportunities for both.

Not for bombers: Though there are a few holes where most players will be able to air out big drives, the course generally doesn't put a massive premium on distance.

Minor flow issues: 1 and 9 share a fairway (with some trees in the middle), and occasionally tee shots from 9 will end up on 1. Sometimes an errant shot from 17 will end near one of the tees on 11, though this isn't super common. Also, an errant shot from 13 that hyzers out early can end up on a fairway for 16. None of these things is a major issue, but added together, they are annoying.

Sometimes repetitive: There are stretches where it is pretty easy to throw the same disc off the tee over and over again on slightly different lines and angles. To more experienced players (from the blues), some of the holes will blend together.

Is there a great hole: This is subjective but still an interesting discussion. I would say 4, 12, and 18 all have a case from the blues, but I don't consider any of these to be outstanding holes. They are very solid, just not spectacular. Similarly, from the whites, 6, 7, and 15 are solid holes, but none of them are signature holes.

I was torn between a 3.5 and 4.0, but I'm ultimately going with a 3.5. This is an excellent course and worth visiting. A litany of small things and a lack of multiple holes that stand out as signature holes held me back from giving this course a higher rating.

Many options with 3 different tees. Holes did not feel repetitive. Lines are fair and rewarding. You can easily play a mix of tees which I did. From the whites, there's easy ace runs all day. Blues add a little more challenge requiring shot shaping and a little more distance. Gold is hit and miss, but is definitely a step up in difficulty where you need power and accuracy. They had a lot of tees closed where they are increasing the length of the tee boxes. Tee signs were good. Great use of elevation and terrain.

With so many tees on each hole, I went every wrong direction I could after hole 1 and had to ask someone for directions. A few next tee signs would help. With that said, I didn't make any more wrong turns after that. I wasn't sure about the tee pad shape where its narrower in the front, but it didn't impact my throws at all, just something odd. Some gold tees seemed abandoned and the lines were overgrown a lot.

This was a lot of fun, I would definitely be a regular to this course if I was local. If you want to throw monster wide open drives this isn't the course for you. If you like mostly wooded courses with easily defined lines and well beaten in courses this is for you. Being this is a park designed only for disc golf, there should be no worries of walkers. I played early on Sunday, when I was leaving at 10:30 there were 30 vehicles in parking lot. Keep that in mind if you are in a hurry. I enjoyed this more than Patriot and Creekside.

-He's an oldie and remembers the time when disc golf wasn't big. He knows what it's like to be loved and what it's like to be turned down because there are days where packs of people are playing at the same time, and when it's completely quiet cause no one is there. Like many his fellow old courses in NC, he's not very tough but he does have some youngblood in him. What I really liked about Old Man Johnson is how he's not very old fashioned despite him being quite old. There are many enjoyable holes here that aren't generic wooded par 3s. There are plenty of holes here that are the reason why disc golf is continuously growing.

-He's very relatable to the younger courses with more shock value and more variety. The variety this course has is solid to say at worst. Not many par 4s, but many ace runs and longer par 3s with a whole lot of challenge to them. #9 is a great challenging but rewarding hole. 350' with a line of trees the whole way down the left side. From the gold, you play #18's original pin which adds to the challenge since the green is relatively fast. I threw an anhyzer with a culverin and parked this hole in it's original 350' pin position. Holes #7 and #8 are both fun ace runs that utilize elevation quite well.

-#7 is a relatively steep downhill backhand hyzer from the blue tee. Basket sits on a green that drops off a bit about 30' past the basket. #8 is a tight uphill challenge for it's short length. Going for the ace can give you a bogey really quickly.

-Elevation is used pretty significantly on a few other holes. #10 is a fun tight downhill ace run. Was kinda like a downhill version of #8. #12 is a steep uphill ace run out of the woods on a man made green. This is one of the holes that keeps the game growing. It's pretty, it's unique, and it has the perfect amount of challenge for an ace run. #18 is the longest hole and the only par 4 if you play blues and one out of two if you play golds. It's generally a simple par 4 for higher rated players, but is punishing for anyone if the wider fairway is not hit. It's a challenge to make it to the hill off the long pad but isn't difficult to par if you dodge the rough successfully.

-Became more modernized. I watched the 2015 Oak Hollow Open and it had Mach pins during that time. It now has DiscCatchers, which I think are much better.

-You have the option of playing three different pads on most holes if not all. White, Blue, and Gold. The whites are very good for starters. I saw a ton of people playing the whites. The golds are probably played the least, but they offer a real challenge. I heard that there is a mixed layout that used to be played. About two of the white pads are played, and a few golds are played, while the rest played are the blues.

-Forgiving and rewarding for the most part. A couple of holes here are very challenging, but the rest of them aren't very difficult to save par on. I shot a 47 on the blues with one bogey. If I didn't birdie one hole, I'd probably birdie the next.

-Ends in two nine hole loops. Neither of the loops cover a whole lot of land, so a round here probably would take an hour if you are alone.

-Overall hole quality here is good. My favorite holes were #4, #6, #7, and #12. #4 was my favorite overall. For advanced/pro players, it's a great downhill hole to rip a straight mid-range or putter on. It's primarily wooded, so it's an accuracy hole as well so it's not simple. But it's a very fun challenge. #6 and #12 would have my votes as the signature holes. #6 is a beautiful hole down a field and into the woods. The basket is on a fast green, and if you turn over just a little you could end up fighting for par. #12 I already mentioned but even if you play the whites, I'd play the blue pad on this hole as it is awesome from that pad.

-Most of the holes here aren't very long but the tee-pads could be longer. Especially #18 since it's a long hole with plenty of room to throw a big drive on. Some other holes here are a bit too short for me to throw a driver on but I would need to really rip a mid range on.

-#15 is just a weird hole. The gold pad is especially weird because the fairway isn't really defined. The blue pad isn't quite as weird but is still pretty strange. This was definitely my least favorite hole. You'd have to throw a serious anhyzer roll or a gentle flick even though this hole is like 300' long. I think the tree to the right side ahead of the pad makes the anhyzer route look less of a good idea.

-#14 and #17 are pretty similar. #17's a bit longer but requires the same shot and has the same look.

-Could use a few long pins I think.

-This is a really good course that suits all level players, so it's great that it's still around. It was actually a little bit than I thought it would be. It has more than one signature hole that is a blast to play. I think there could be a few more long pins added to expand the variety a little. Still, I enjoyed this course and I'm glad I played it.

-I'm not particularly fond of older courses because I think they are a bit more basic and aren't as interesting, but this one was interesting and is perfect for a fun round with a group of friends.

- Disc golf only park! No interference with baseball fields, tennis courts, or that one ignorant family that decides the middle of the fairway is the perfect place to set up a picnic area.
- 3 teepad layouts: white, blue, and gold. White's provide a good beginner friendly layout for new players. Blues provide a challenge for intermediate and advanced players, but could be approachable and still fun for newbies who want to play a round with their more advanced friends. Golds are the most challenging holes - they will test the skills of even the best players and will let you know if the disc golf gods like you enough to grant you the luck you'll surely need to make it through this course unscathed
- Easy course navigation - you can't get lost.
- Variety of hole types: technical holes, wooded shots, open holes, short holes, long holes, left holes, right holes, and all those in between. This course will test your ability to throw a variety of disc golf shots on many angles, whether it be backhand, forehand, or overhand.
- Practice basket by the parking lot allows you to warm up putting, which you'll surely need to dial in to shoot under par at this course... There are few 'gimme' birdies on blues and golds.
- Pavilion for taking shelter from the rain
- Few places to really lose discs...except for hole 12, where if you get that unfortunate bounce off a tree that shoots your disc off way to the right, you should cut your losses if it's during the spring/summer. The cost of replacing the disc are far less than the inevitable snakebite you'll surely experience attempting the find your disc, which is probably in the middle of a dense patch of briers at the bottom of the hill surrounded by swampy water.
- Relatively well taken care of given its age... It's an old park, but the local club works on it from time to time and keeps it in good shape.
- Signs at each hole at least on one of the teepads
- Little crossover on holes. For the most part, you're unlikely to hit another group on a different teepad

- Can get crowded on weekends... If you show up at 1PM on Saturday in April, you better have more patience than I do.
- Some areas flood pretty easily after rain.
- Gravel parking lot. Not a big deal for many, but I'm paranoid about rocks popping up and chipping the paint of my car.
- Players with big arms (I'm taking 450'+ of distance) really only have 1 hole (18) where they can let it rip. There are a few other holes where players can air it out (3 gold, a longish turnover on 9, and spike hyzers between 300-350' on 13, 14, and 17... but none really let you 'unleash' except 18.
- Old and short trapezoidal teepads. Unless you shorten your run-up, you'll likely be starting from behind the teepad.... which isn't so bad unless it's wet, and then you'll surely slip a few times
- A couple of the gold tees are just plain stupid in terms of difficulty, in that they require far more more luck than skill. 15 gold is particularly bad ... you probably have a better chance at getting an ace on any white hole than you do getting a birdie on this, which requires more love from the trees than high school boys give themselves in their bedrooms.
-Signs are dated, and only one teepad (blues) for each hole has the sign... which is annoying when you're playing gold or white.

Overall, I really do enjoy this course. I moved to Winston Salem last year and when I first moved, Johnson St and The Patriot at Triad park were the two courses I played at most. At first I liked The Patriot DGC more....it's newer, has better concrete teepads, new baskets, well manicured fairways and putting circle, and has great amenities and outward appearance. But The Patriot DGC is like that beautiful model you 'aww' over at first, but when you get to know her you realize the most interesting thing about her is her appearance... sure you go back to her from time to time because she's nice to look at, but beyond her appearence there isn't much there. The Patriot DGC is this girl; it's one dimensional, it's simply one long bomb after another, and after playing it several times it gets boring and repetitive. Johnson St is the quiet girl, where at first your just friends wither her because she's simply there... but then you learn there's a lot more than meets the eye and personality means a hole lot more than a pretty smile. To score well at Johnson St, you must use a variety of shots, calling upon various disc golf 'skills'. The course remains fun and entertaining time and time again as you work to perfect it. The course is older, but if it were to be updated with new teepads and signs, it would greatly improve. Other than this, my only big gripe is gold 15 which is simply ludicrous in my opinion. I'm a big fan of challenging holes that require more finely tuned skills, but this hole involves waaayyy too much luck - requiring you to throw 50' on a straight line in a tightly wooded tunnel that is maybe ~5ft across... It's honestly not a fun or even remotely fair hole and should be changed.

Overall, this is my favorite course in the area and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to play.I give this 4.-4.5 stars for play, but the outdated nature brings it to a 3.5. A little TLC and updates to a few holes could turn this into a 4.5 course I'd drive hours just to play.

This is a disc golf only park. No worries about sharing space with baseball, joggers, playgrounds. First tee is obvious, so there is no searching for the DG course. Navigation is easy and I've never looked at a course map. Signage is simple but effective.

There is a nice, large parking area with porta-john and covered shelter. Johnson Street is easily accessed off of the newish I-74.

Baskets have recently had the green number signs replaced with a bright purplish color. They are easier to see, IMO.

I play the whites and they seem about right for my skill level. I like the fact that there are uphill and downhill shots. There are shots finishing left and right. I like being able to drive backhand or forehand. I particularly enjoyed parking #2 with a flick recently. While mostly wooded, the fairways are fair. And clear of debris. There are options on many holes. At #3, I like to alternate driving BH and FH. #7 is another favorite that throws from the open into the woods to a downhill basket. There are a few holes that are more open, like 1,9,13,14 and 18. The fairways are well worn and well defined by the amount of traffic this course sees.

With three tee pads, there is something here for everyone.

The easy access for a large population makes Johnson Street the most crowded course I have ever seen. This may not be a con for some, but when I play disc golf alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Hole #1 is maybe a good warm-up hole, but really the only blah hole on the course for me. Just a straight shot across an open field.

The first few times I went to Johnson Street, I turned around and went to Creekside. Every time there was a group teeing off and at least one group waiting, usually more. The first round I ended up playing took almost two hours because the course was so crowded. I play with my dad a lot and we play an extreme version of "ready golf". It's not well suited to a crowded course. Now, when we play Johnson Street, we try to tee off by 7 a.m. Problem solved.

Johnson Street is easily paired with, or sandwiched by, Creekside in Archdale or Patriot DGC in Kernersville for a great day of disc golf.

There are some remnants of the red tees around. When they are re-installed, this will be great for rank beginners. Probably not so great for the crowding issue.

Johnson Street really does provide some of everything. It's got wooded holes, with tight but not overly tight fairways and it has some open holes, where the big dogs will get a chance to eat. It's got some shorter holes, (200 feet) where shots will need to be placed carefully, and its got longer holes, (450 feet) so it's possible to bomb on a few tees. It's got sharp climbs, gradual descents and even a few flat ones. It's got holes that finish to the left, to the right and one (15) that can be played either way. It's got tunnel shots, blind throws and a few that pass over a creek. And that's just for the blue tees.

Before I get more specific, I should say that the three sets of tees at Johnson Street are among the best at providing three sets of difficulties that I have seen. I played the blues and while those made for a great round, I could see other players preferring the options here. The white tees, from what I saw, looked very easy. Much easier lines. Much better ace opportunities. They're probably a lot of fun. The gold tees, meanwhile, looked very challenging. Playing from appropriate tees, players of almost any ability could enjoy this course. At the same time, it provides a ton of variety for locals.

But back to the blue layout, which i found to be chock full of interesting lines and fairways. It starts out with a long open run across a well-kept meadow. Then bam, a tight, 280-foot funnel shot with a slightly-rightward finish. From there is to continues to mix up open holes with tightly-wooded ones and some that have a bit of both. It flows very well between the different types and it's just a nice variety that makes for a solid round.

My favorite hole, other than the tunnel on 2, is 12. Players descend from the 11 basket to the bed of a creek. (for both blue and gold) The water bubbles past as the golfer tees of up, over the creek as it bends away to the right and then up a sharp incline and around a grove of tees to a basket that is only 234 feet away, but plays much longer.

I also like how on many of the holes the difficulty comes from a narrow gap somewhere in the fairway. The whole fairway isn't as tight as sections of it. (Not that this is something I love in general, but it's a nice change-up from many area courses that feature mostly consistent fairway width.) All in all, a solid course that I'd like to get back to and have a try at the other sets of tees.

The main thing that I didn't like is the hole(14) that goes by the electrical equipment. There is a mando informing you to go around it but my disc is unfortunately illiterate and once its left my hand, its out of my control. It probably doesn't affect too many rounds but it not something I like to think about on the course.

That also ties somewhat into the atmosphere being not great. It's not a bad area or anything but in many ways the park shows its age. It's not out of the way, really and roads are somewhat close to some of the holes. Not to the point where they affect play but the course doesn't have the wilderness feel that many in the state do.

- Perfect mix of open, wooded, up hill, down hill, and length
- Well maintained
- Challengening enough for all skill types

- Hole 18 should be a par 4 from the whites
- Can be very crowded

I would consider this my home course. I've played it many times and each time it's very enjoyable. The beauty of this course is it never gets old.

Good Mix of Short and Long, Right and Left,.
There are 3 tees, White has lots of Ace and Birdie Ops, Blue is a little farther with tougher angles, and the gold are long and tight right off the tee, sometimes with absurd angles and lines.
All these are nice, concrete tees--how often do you see that?? 3 tees per hole??
This course flows well, tees are easy to find
Markers on most holes reflecting distance and elevation
There are several baskets with a creek, road, or drop behind them which adds to challenge.

If you slip up a bit it is easy to loose a disc in the OB areas, water, power station, residential backyards.
Alot of the bridges, benches, and upkeep are a bit behind
No water onsite
I tend to spend a lot of time looking for my disc on a couple of the back 9 holes
There is alot of traffic at this course compared to most others and you will have to join up with 2-3 other people to keep pace with the other groups at busy times.

This is a great course, I really like this as a home course. They have weekly tournaments and lots of cool guys to play with

A great use of tight shots through the woods and good use of Piedmont elevation. Also long shots available on 18 and a few other holes. Need to be able to curve both directions which is always good. No other activity except disc golf which is great. Good markings and plenty of benches.

A little erosion is making some of the pads capable of turning an ankle if stepping off. Other than that great.

It is a disc golf course only. Therefore the lack of amenities was of no consequence. There was a porta-john and a practice basket.

I went on a Saturday on my way home from Charlotte. There were around 8-10 groups playing. I was at least 40 years older than anyone on the course. If the young adults I met are typical of High Point someone is doing a great job of raising the next generation. What a pleasure to meet them.

As for finding the park when you turn off the highway it is a right turn just before the fire station. It does not have a big park sign.

1)Different layouts cater to the different skill level of players.

2)The transition from one hole's basket to the next hole's teepad is generally straight forward. The only two teepads that are hard to find from the previous hole's basket are Gold 7 and Gold 15.

3)This course only caters to disc golfers.

4)Teepads are a decent size for the shots that are required for this course. However the areas around the teepads coulld use some work(see cons).

5)Great mixture of open holes and tight wooded holes.

6)Different holes test different types of shots and several holes have different routes to the basket.

1)The only amenities are a shelter and a port-a-potty.

2)The areas around some of the teepads are worn down from erosion. After a downpour, there are often puddles either behind or in front of the tee box.

3)Over the years, due to weather or casual players, many trees have fallen making several holes a lot easier.

4)Some of the benches need to be replaced or repaired

As mentioned earlier, this is a great course to test all of your disc golf skills.

The course just won a Innova Grant to have the signs replaced. This should probably be completed before mid August. The tee signs will include not only tee to basket distance but also elevation change, if any.

IMO, the most challenging holes are 11 and 15 Gold.

11 Gold is challenging as you have to make it through a gate of trees near the tee. I have seen many good players hit a tree early on this hole which causes them to scramble to save a 4, or if they are lucky a 3.

Gold is a downhill tunnel shot that eventually turns from left to right. What makes this hole difficult is just making it through the tunnel to a point where you can get up and down to save a 3. I have only heard of 1 or 2 guys make a 2 on this hole.

Classic, have-it-all disc golf course. Course uses the terrain to the best of its capability.
- This is a disc-golf only park. Yup, no sharing the space with other park users, especially the type who think the fairways are all extra walking trails. This gives a strong presence of solitude, even though you're right next to a main road, and houses that back up to the course.
- A perfect mix of holes, from tight, wooded holes (#8, 15) to wide open (#13 & 14) to uphill & downhills (#8 & 12 up; #2 &7 down), up-n-down holes, doglegs and everything in between. Some courses feel like they're forcing holes (we need another dogleg/tight/etc, so let's put a basket right here); these all flow great where you never feel your playing the same shot too frequently.
- Nice, big, angled tee pads. Very few courses have angled tee pads, which I think is an underrated benefit for players.
- Good, descriptive map available online. Course is pretty easy to navigate that you won't really need one.
- 3 sets of tees make the course playable for all skill levels. I was pleasantly surprised how much tougher the gold (long) tees played than the blue (middle) tees. A lot of times, when you play from different tees, you feel you're playing the same exact shot, only 50-100 feet longer. This presented a good variety of different, and tougher shots.
- Good flow to the holes. #9 & 18 both lead right back to the parking lot, allowing for you to easily tee off on #10 or only play 9 holes, if needed.

Course has no amenities at all, other than a covered picnic area. No water fountains or bathrooms - port-a-jon only. Be sure to bring your own drinks.
- As with many older courses, erosion starting to take places on hills. Wooded holes have essentially been reduced to all dirt fairways.
- Tee pads could use a fresh coat of paint. Each tee pad has a painted line on it, indicating it's layout - white, blue, gold. On most holes you can easily tell the 3 tees without the paint, but on several the blue & gold tees are essentially next to each other, so it's not as easy.
- Arrows or signs would be nice pointing towards the out-of-the-way gold tee pads. The tee pad for #7 gold is on the other side of #6 fairway, 200 feet from the other other tee pads. I couldn't find the gold tee for #9.
- Some holes cross close to other holes, so you have to keep an eye out for other players or discs suddenly appearing. #1 & 9 play toward each other in opposite direction, as do #11 & 17 and #13 & 16. Also the long tee for #17 is right in front of the short tee for #12.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this course. This is a very good, challenging course from the gold (long) tees. It was much easier from the blue (middle) tees.
- Course reminds me a lot of Yadkinville or a longer/tougher version of Reedy Creek.
- There are some good holes on this course, many with a great risk/reward factor. #2, 7 & 10 are all tough, narrow shots to baskets. Throw straight and birdie is a real possibility, hit a tree and you could be scrambling for par. #18 is a good, long closing hole, forcing you to throw a couple good shots for your par.
- My favorite hole, and one of the best visual holes anywhere, is #12. You tee off next to a creek, throwing an uphill shot through the trees to the basket. It's not a long hole (gold plays 266 ft), but an errant shot might ricochet off a tree into the creek. The hole is birdieable as long as you're willing to let the water come into play.
- Solid course that everyone in the area needs to play. Gold layout is in the 3.75 range; blue is in the 3 range, so it's a well-earned 3.5 overall for the course.

love this course. suits the all around golfer. has field mixed with woods. 3 sets of pads but the shorts pads are like junior pads. locals are cool.WOODS ARE NOT TIGHT OF HURTFUL IF YOU STRAY INTO THE RUFF.no woods hole over 350 and field over 450. great atmosphere out there

no water fountain.BRING PLENTY OF WATER

dont foget to take in the scenery of the future world champion david wiggins jr!

My Enjoyment Rating: 7.5 (out of 10)
This is the first 7.5 I've given because I was torn. I like a it little more than a 7 but just a little less than an 8. So here on DGCR I'd give it a 3.75 if I could.

Design:
I really enjoy the variety of having 3 course layouts with varying degrees of difficulty. If I want a birdie fest I'll play the White tees. If I want a challenge suitable to my skill level I'll play the Blue tees (my drives average about 280 ft). If I want to test myself with a real challenge (and be humbled) I'll play the Gold tees. The fairways offer good variety, are well shaped, and have many fun shots. There's also good foliage variety with many of the holes in the woods, but many with scattered trees, and a few that are relatively open. In the woods the undergrowth isn't thick, so your discs don't get lost very easily. There's also good elevation variety with lots of ups and downs, but mostly moderate elevation changes.

As for Amenities, there are tons of bunches and trash cans, a decent message board, and an average map online (but it doesn't have the Gold layout on it). The basket for 18 Gold can also be used for warming up your putting.

The course is showing some sings of age, and this is mostly in the Basics:
-Signs: some are broken, some are old with a very basic hand painted map.
-Tees: concrete, but mostly too short, even though some are trapezoids (a design that I like).
-Baskets: average. Some are kind of old, and since they're gray Mach IIIs, a few in the woods are a bit hard to find.

Amenities
-Online Scorecards need hole lengths

White Tees Course Level: White (most suited for Intermediate players rated 900.)
Blue Tees Course Level: Blue (most suited for Advanced players rated 950)

There are a variety of left and right dogleg holes, but with each layout over half are straight, and that's more than I usually prefer. Also, long throwers will probably think that the White and Blue tee layouts are too short.
OK, the course is showing some signs of age here and there; it's like a guy in his mid 40s with some gray around the temples. But I've played here many times over the years and I always enjoy the course. It's still a fun NC course that's well worth playing.

3 sets of teepads for beginner to advanced.
Course is well broken in, tight wooded lines with clear paths to the basket.
Small elevation changes keep away monotomy.
Some very scenic shots, Hole 4, 12, 14, come to mind.
Disc golf only park!
Good league action, Tuesdays 5:30pm

This course is short, you can not really practice many open bombs.
Signage has been lagging, steps are being taken to fix that.
The residents on some holes aren't very recieving of disc golfers, try not to pull one OB on 13 and 14.

This is a great course for those serious about disc golf as the course is centered around a good club with several top amatuers and pros. David Wiggins Jr's home course!

Three concrete tee pads for almost every hole. You can play the one that best fits your ability or mood. Signs on most holes giving distance and an indication of basket placement. Fairways that were tight, but had an achievable line to target. Wooded holes with a few wide open bombs available. Fair to both RHBH and RHFH players. Exclusively used for disc golf so no other park users to mess with your round. Nice gazebo for lunch or a rest. Small creek in play on some holes, but not big enough to be a real disc eater.

Some signs were missing at teepads. Baskets were sometimes hard to spot. Need better flags or colored marker to distinguish them in the woods.

Nothing bad about this course. Everything was very good. Fix the signs and make the baskets more visible and I might even bump this up to a 4 someday. No truly great holes, but they are all pretty good. Next time I go I will have to try the longest pads. I played the blue and they were good. Long pads look real tough in some spots.

Johnson street is approachable for beginners and entertaining for intermediate and advanced players. There are three well maintained tees for each hole, with the golds being quite challenging. This course is solely dedicated to DG so it is easy to not be bothered. Many holes require the thrower to make a considerably narrow gap close to the tee, after which, the fairway opens up. This can be frustrating at times, but it mostly comes across as intelligent, challenging course design. The landscape is beautiful and it is hard to lose a disc here.

Many holes are short. There are lots of holes where you have to hit a gap off of the tee. Hardly any holes where you can bomb it if that's your thing. I understand it can get busy, but I've never had that experience.

What I personally like and how this course stacks up:
1) Holes with good risk/reward -- B+
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities -- A
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography -- A
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion -- B+
5) Multi-shot holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them -- C

It's all about feeding the addiction, so I ranked this course subjectively based on my own "personal addiction factor". The grades above tell how well the course will draw me back to itself again and again and again. Since I have played a decent number of courses (115 18-hole, 50 9-hole as of early 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar addiction tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they choose courses to play and explore.

Over time, I expect to fill some of my reviews in with more descriptive verbiage...if what I can add anything to what has already been written. For now, my list is more important to me than the verbiage of my reviews.

I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me....that's the fun of things here. See my profile for my rating philosophy.

Great course with a variety of shots and multiple teepads make this park a must play if given the oppurtunity. Great mixture of open/wooded holes and requires a variety of shots from tight fairways to open air it out shots. The park is very clean and offers trashcans throughout park. This is also the only disc golf park I know of that was created strictly for disc golf. There is no non disc golfers to slow play or interfere with certain holes. Also, couldnt ask for better locals, great group of guys that play in this area and this park inparticular.

Park can be quite busy, especially on weekends. Not all holes have tee signs.

A very fun course to play, and with three sets of teepads you dont get burnt out on playing it. Short tees are great for beginners, while blue and gold can challenge the best of players. Also a great park for practice as you will be asked to use every shot you have at some point or another.

So many options with this course. Easy to follow layout allows for a variety of shots and more importantly a good mixture of tee pads for both easy and challenging play.
Great local interest keeps course in decent shape, especially around tournament time.
All ages and skill levels should enjoy playing this course.

Signage is adequate but could be improved.

Well thought out - great use of the land provided.
Multiple tee placement makes the course a favorite to play consecutive rounds.

White Tees: ace and duece round / beginners should enjoy.

Blue Tees: intermediate players will see longer distance, more difficult angles, and elevation changes.

Gold Tees: narrow openings, even longer distance, great risk/reward.

This course is a great course that has a good amount of activity. In our area this course is where you will find most on the weekdays after work and wanting to get in a good round of golf before the sun goes down. There is a good mix of holes, from open to wooded and right/straight/left. I consider a 48 a good round from the whites and anything under par good from the blues. The "Ludacris" gold pads offer one of the more challenging layouts around. With three sets of pads, this course is great to practice all types of shots. Helps to have a course with diversity close by. With its popularity it is always easy to get in a group and find someone to throw with.

Some slow rounds on the weekends if at peak time, but usually no problems.

The people at this course rock, very friendly and great at disc golf! I went to HPU and there was always a pro around or someone good to play with and it was easy to get in a local event. They hold Tuesday night singles in the summer months, and singles/doubles on Sundays starting at 11am. Singles first then Doubles at 2pm.
