This course is surprisingly fun. If you are in the area anyway, stop by and play a few rounds. You will have a lot of chancesa at an ace. Right on the lake there is a pretty view and some fun to be had. If you have a young family this is a recommendation to play it. Not worth much of a trip but I think for a change of pace you should stop by. Work on your long putting and Leave The Drivers In The Car.

My "disc rating" is weighted heavily toward fun factor. Amenities or lack thereof bump it up or down apx .5 or so.

This is an unbelievable course! On hole 6 (50') three people had vandalized the sign writing "ace" with their name and a date. Unbelievable! It's a FIFTY foot hole for cryin' out loud! Anyway...

Signage is adequate with hole # and distance.
All the amenities (bathrooms, water fountains, etc)
Not overly crowded, although it was winter when we played.
Very scenic.
Plenty of chances for an ace.
Perfect for what it is - a recreational activity for lodge guests.

The baskets are the old Frisbee golf baskets. The cage curves back toward the cone in the center. The gap between the top of the cage and the top of the cone is kinda hard to hit.

Very little challenge. With real baskets, this course would have no challenge.

Tourists don't know why you're out there throwing Frisbees and are likely going to be in the way at times.

The basket on 8 is damaged.

No concrete tees. Lol!

Don't expect much. But, it was actually a very fun, relaxing course. If you are looking for a challenging course go elsewhere.
About 1/2 of the holes are par 2 with the others par 3. If you get an ace at Lake Murray, does it count as an ace?

1) Beginner friendly in fact it is as beginner friendly as any course on my 41 course roadtrip to Texas.

2) Swanky cabins available to people for rent in this state park. How cool would it be to rent a small cabin and have a place to take 9 ace runs everyday!

3) It obviouly is designed for those peple staying at the state park. . . it is not a championshi course nor should it be considered to be so. They did a good job with a small piece of property and I am sure it is popular in summer.

4) Cool property to stay for a camping weekend. It has horseshoes, mini-golf, camping, and all sorts of other activities.

5) Signs have Hole # and distance on every hole. This is an amenity that is often forgotten and I appreciate the fact that it is on this property.

6) Fun factor is high here as it can be considered to be an absolute ace run . . .They even consider holes to be par 2's . . . so in order to beat those holes would mean an ace!

1) Very very short property. Although it is fun to have 9 ace runs, it still doesn't present much challenge. It has a lot of fun factor but not a lot of challenge.

2) Property seems to have a but of usage because the turf and grounds surrounding Holes #5=8 are pretty beat up.

3) Baskets are way less forgiving than chained baskets. There is a tendency to bounce off the deflector type basket than there is to catch a chain and have a shot to stay in the basket. The best spot to aim on the basket is low on the deflector do it has less impact on the disc.

4) Grounds leave a little bit to be desired, compaction seems to be the biggest issue here.

5) Targets seem to be less than desied here. They have a tendency to keep the disc out.

6) Tees are in bad shape, they have suffered from compaction and traffic.

7)Safety danger when playing back in the corner on holes 5-8 because there is backtracking and two fairways run right along each other. I know they are short holes but if you have a bunch of beginners out there someone is bound to get hit.

It appears as if the tent is up all year round. We played in mid winter and it was still up so it seems like the tent is a near permanent ficture. This course was a stop on our 40 course trip mostly because we were trying to get my wife an ace. We didn't jave high expectations, but we did desire to have a good time. We enjoyed our quick visit to the property, but at the same time wished there was a little bit more fun factor involved here.

You can play this course easily in 15 minutes. I played three games at once in 20 minutes. My wife tried the sport for the first time. It was a good beginner course for her. If you are a guest at the lodge, they have discs for check out. The lake is beautiful, but not really a problem.

The baskets are antique. It takes getting used to. The course is short. Hole 9 is near the main sidewalk between the lodge and the lake. Often you have to wait for people to clear the area.

My wife planned our anniversary trip with my newly acquired love for disc golf in mind. She was excited to tell me that there was a disc golf course where we were staying. I was a little surprised when I first saw this course. I had never seen baskets like this before nor had I played a course with holes this short. My goal was to get my first ace. I did it on hole 3 as I was playing my 10th game. I played the course a total of 14 times. The shortness of the course made it like having a nice little "snack."
