Beautiful location overlooking and along Hyco Lake, a recreational lake with campground.
Tee signs and good DISCatchers.
Open, wooded and water holes - more on that later.
Good elevation on the front 9.

Tees are grass, or natural surface.
Open holes on front 9 are very open, only 3 have any trees nearby.
3 water carries on the back 9, shorter versions are available.
Back 9 had a lot of debris on the fairways, right in the middle of summer!
A few campsites were very near #4 tee. (The basket is in the trees, don't throw to the basket straight ahead, in the open.)

This was my second of the 3 North Central North Carolina monster courses. I have since played all 3 and this definitely comes in at #3 on the list. Not a terrible course, the baskets are great and has a lot of variety, including elevation on the front 9.
This is the kind of course that would be nice to have around if you were camping here, but not a destination course. With very few trees on the front 9, it got pretty hot on the July day I was there.
There were a couple of neat holes there:
#2 - drive through a decent sized gap, then hyzer to the basket.
#7 - long downhill to a basket perched on a steep sidehill, parked my drive and hit the birdie putt!
Then the trees began right away on the back 9, #10 is a gauntlet type fairway, through two rows of pine trees. A couple other wooded holes, then the three water carries. All three were along the shore, cutting off various inlets. #13 plays as a hyzer, then 14 and 15 were Anhyzer throws. I played two of them from the whites tees, and only had to fish one out of the lake!
Then the last three were wooded, decent enough holes, but nothing spectacular. It was nice to have the shade on the back nine.
The campground and facilities at the lake looked really nice and would have been a great place to spend 4th of July weekend, but that's probably the only way I would play this course again.

The front 9 is very open and the back is very wooded, which tests your abilities for both styles. The back 9 also has some extra risk with water coming into play. The water was very clean looking and is a nice feature of the course.

The tennis court hole is fun but I wouldn't want to play it regularly because of the damage the plastic would take.

Other Pros:
-clean park
-distance variety
-multiple tees
-good signage

My biggest pet peeve is a hole near a playground. #3 plays near one. I know it seems easy to avoid on an open hole but, I would just prefer to not take the chance. There are also walking paths in the back 9.
Some baskets are too close to the road, I aim for the chains but I don't want to hit a car or a kid.

*Temporary Con* A big tree was down on the back 9 making one hole unplayable.

Other Cons:
-natural tees

I like the beast theme of the courses popping up in the area. They are really adding a decent group of courses to play in this area. I will be back to play here and nearby soon.

So, yeah. This course is kind of doing its own thing in some spots to say the least. When I played here, the word 'extreme' came to mind. Not extreme like you have to take a zip-line from hole to tee or anything but it's a very black & white course. You have really open field holes and then you have really tight, wooded holes. And some water carries to scare you a little bit. Not much in the way of your typical NC wooded fairway holes which can be a good thing, especially since nearby Rockness excels in that department.

The front 9 is very open, park style golf. There is some occasional playing through/around woods like #2 (a pleasant hole) and #s 4 & 5. The rest are very air it out type holes. The back 9 is kind of shoehorned into this wooded area between the parking lot and the lake. Very technical, very stay on the fairway (especially the water holes). For the most part, this is pretty decent golf.

The water holes are actually pretty good if you ignore proximity issues of tees and holes. #13 is fair for both handedness, for RHBH you can go left and get a safe 3 or maybe 2 or you can play risk vs reward and go straight at it for an easy 2 or tree kick into the water, cool. #s 14 and 15 riskier for righties that can't FH, good for LHBH. Still though, easy enough for RHBH to play it safe and keep their discs and pars.

The controversial tennis court hole: I actually like this hole. I completely understand not wanting to scuff up your discs though. There's an easy solution here: Carpet/mulch/astroturf around the basket, say ~40' diameter or so. If you want the deuce, put it inside the 10 meter circle basically, if you don't want to hurt your disc, layup outside the fence and approach over. You can make it interesting and make the exposed tennis court OB. That's just one idea, you can come up with more island green ideas, etc. But overall, this is a neat hole and I'd prefer it not to be scrapped.

Awesome tee signs as usual.

Good news here is most of the cons are easily fixable I think. Natural tees currently.

Hole 3: It's okay but I'd prefer not to hyzer around a playground, even if it looks like it hasn't been used since the eighties. I say move the basket up and right and somewhere along that ridge for an interesting green, maybe stretch it into a par 4. You might have to worry about people teeing off on #7 coming nearby but it's wide open and both parties should be able to see each other.

Holes 4 & 5: I feel like the original idea was for 4 to play to 5's basket and then 5's tee to play to 4's basket inside the woods. Those look like much more fun and less confusing holes. The downside is players holing out on 5 have to cross 4's fairway to transition to hole 6 but screw it, I think it's worth it. Especially because it avoids...

Hole 6: Long tee plays way too close and parallel to hole 5 IMO.

Hole 8: I straight up dislike this hole. Basket is less than 15' from the OB line, still close to the road and I had a hell of a time finding it tucked away in those trees. I would scrap this one and just make a filler hole that plays uphill, tee near the stage and play toward 9's tees.

Hole 12: That one tree in the middle is maybe too much, might reward luck more than skill. Basket is really close to that road that leads to lake parking.

Hole 17 is really nice, was not aware of the drop off to the lake on the right until I teed off, that could have ended badly on a turnover. Maybe a little limb lopping to heighten the ceiling and make it more midrange and putter friendly.

Hole 3 also needs limb lopping to raise the ceiling for the long tees, it's a little too "down-then-up" right now.

Hole 9 I think would be more interesting if it followed the down slope more. Airing it out would be more fun, rollers would be useful, might help scoring separation. On the other hand, it would increase the walk from basket to hole 10 so I'm 50/50. Fun hole either way if you throw far.

This is a worthwhile course and a pretty good effort by the designer considering the land available; I imagine the back 9 was pretty tricky to lay out. I enjoyed my round and I think it has potential to climb into the 3's with some minor tweaking. A nice complement to Rockness and its forest.

Plenty of chances to air it out on the front nine. Good use of elevation. While there is not a lot of elevation, the course mixes up/ down/ side shill shots well. The back nine is wooded with very tight lines.

No signage, no tee pads, no benches, trash cans. I do't mind a gimmick hole every now and then, however, I do not care for hole 7. The basket is in the middle of an old tennis court. I can see the hard surface doing significant damage to a disc(why i skipped this hole). I don't care for the tees on hole 4. Both were across the access road from the fairway. The road was not busy, I just felt the tees could have been in the wooded area between 3's basket and the current tee location. Good opportunity for a tunnel shot out to the fairway.

I know the course is brand new and there is a lot of work to do but there is potential for this to be a very nice course. We met one of the guys building the course and he was very nice. He was eager for feed back and said they would take all suggestions under consideration. I will definitely come back to see how the course grows up.
