Pros:
The actual location of this course is one of the most convenient ones that I've ever played in the metro Atlanta area. It only took about three minutes to get to Southern Poly from I-75, and the campus was fairly easy to navigate. Therefore, you don't have to take a lengthy detour to get there if you're just passing through on your way to Atlanta or Chattanooga.
The course plays through the center of campus, and is pretty close to the dormitories. This is ideal for student use. You will definitely see students here, but every single person I met was helpful and extremely friendly. Some holes go across sidewalks, but nothing ridiculous. There are great signs warning pedestrians of flying discs, and the natives I met were surprisingly aware of their surroundings.
The course layout is simple, but most holes have a few trees in place that can prevent them from being all ace-runs. Hole one is a perfect example of this. There's an open fairway near the tee, but the hole is surrounded by large trees. Most of the holes are short, so this is a perfect course to work on your midrange and putter drives. There's a decent mix of downhill throws, uphill throws, hyzers, and anhyzers. I actually thought the land they were allowed to work with was a really cool area. There's a drainage basin on hole four that could possibly be considered a shot over the water if it's been raining a good bit, but it was dry when I was there and not really a factor. The baskets are currently new and catch great!
Cons:
Although the course does have tee box numbers on the ground like ball golf courses, they aren't always the easiest things to find if you don't have a map with you. You will DEFINITELY need to bring a map with you. The baskets don't have numbers on them, and it can be ridiculously confusing trying to figure out the course. Hole two looks like it's a long, straight shot to the basket, but it 's actually a blind hyzer shot (RHBH) around the corner of the building. It's really short and kind of ridiculous. I understand that they don't have tee signs, and that's not terrible, but that makes numbers on the baskets even more vital.
I was also pretty disappointed with the course layout. I thought a lot more could have been done with the land. Although the course does offer a diverse selection of shots, some of the fairways cross over one another, and some of the tees are too close to the previous baskets. These don't give the course a very nice flow. It's not a problem if you're the only group out there though, as I experienced.
Other Thoughts:
I can only see this course being a practice facility. It doesn't flow well enough or offer enough length or difficulty for any kind of competition. It's extremely convenient for students, but all visitors should definitely bring a map or find a guide. In the absence of numbers on the holes, someone definitely needs to use some tape to indicate the hole numbers for people without maps. I plan on doing this on my next trip through if someone doesn't beat me to it.
