An odd combination of two different 9-hole layouts. Neither is good. So, how do you think the full 18 will play.
- There were two holes on the front nine I thought were enjoyable. The other seven were open and simple, and way too basic. Or, blah if you prefer.
- Those two holes that I liked were #5 and 7. #5 is a dogleg right, downhill shot playing around a corner of trees. The only tee shot you truly have to shape on the front 9; although, you do to some degree on #2 as well. The other fun-ish hole is #7, a wide-open downhill shot. The basket is on the edge of a slope on the opposite side of a court from #2. This sloped hill basket means you'll have a different looking putt depending on where you land.
- The back nine had three extremely scenic water holes. The day I played the wind was blustery, so throwing over water meant that disc could blow any direction. Each of these holes - #13 - 15 - offers a varying degree of challenge.
- #13 had the longest water carry of the three, but the easiest ground to land on. #14 has the hardest landing zone, but does offer the easiest layout to play around the water's edge. #15 has a straight shot to the basket with the highest risk/reward tee shot. Smaller gap if you aim for the basket. Aim further right, and it's a wider gap. So, how about a big curve through the big gap, skipping back towards the basket?
- The other six holes had one enjoyable hole (#10) and five simplistic layouts.
- You can easily play just the front or back nine. At least both end up close to the beginning.
- There's a separate parking lot before the pay booth. Unfortunately, the day I was there, I didn't see the sign for the disc golf lot until after I played. Fortunately, the gate was unattended so I parked in the main, further lot for free.
- If nothing else, this is a good walk throughout the park. If you love walking through a big field away from the lake, you will absolutely love the front 9.
- For boaters, campers, and fishermen, you'll love this park. The park has a targeted audience and it seems to hit its target with that crowd.

The layout itself is insufficient. It's surprising how inferior this course is compared to the other two Roxboro area courses.
- When you've got to do excess walking between holes to justify a layout, it's a bad layout. After #4, you're walking the entire length of #5 backwards heading to the tee, only to turn back around whence you came from. Going from #7 to 8, you walk a good chuck of #8's fairway. Finishing #8, headed to 9, you walk the entire length of #8's fairway (again), heading to #9. Let's not forget the long walk from #2 to 3 where you're walking right past #7's basket.
- Lots of wide-open fairways with zero obstacles. Fron #2's tee, the only basket you see is actually #7's. Just dreadful.
- On the back 9, going from #12 to 13, there's a lone arrow to head down a path. After 150 feet, the path forks into two opposite directions. Make sure you pick the correct path. From there, playing #13, you walk past both #15 (first) then 14 to get to your basket.
- All three water holes can have park goers in the way. #13's basket was blocked by fishermen the day I played so couldn't putt or thrown anywhere close to the basket.
- #16's fairway is the walking path. Smart!
- #17 & 18 could have been fun holes with the creek playing on the right side plus a view of the bridge. Instead, it was time to just finish up.

Kraken isn't a good course. I had very little fun. Granted, it was course 14 out of 15 in a 32 hour stretch for me. On the other hand, that meant I was checked out enough to despise it even less.
- I'm not sure what can be done to improve this layout unfortunately. With limited wooded areas, you're relying on open holes to fill in the gaps. For starters, however, eliminate the overlapping walks. Just by simply reorganizing holes, and moving two tees, you cut the excess walking on the front side in half.
- Having layouts fold back on themselves is an issue. That's a sign you're squeezing in or forcing layouts.
- All that said, you look at the course map, and there does seem to be more space. There's an entire peninsula of wooded land beyond #13. If, just if, that land was tapped into, why not another Sasquatch-esque layout?
- Big arms will like the front side. Accurate players will enjoy the back nine. At least, that should be the side they prefer even if they don't like it.
- I suspect a fair amount of play here is with people spending the weekend camping/boating here. I suspect many a rounds are played with a beer in one hand and a couple discs being carried in the other.
- Of the three Roxboro-area courses, this one seemed much further away. It felt the most 'in the middle of nowhere', not that Roxboro is a bustling metropolis.
- That said, I'd rather play the other two layouts multiple times before coming here again.
