I've heard a few people talk about this course a bit as a nice accessory to the IDGC courses or as a pretty good spot, but it's just stinking great.

It's near elite in terms of variety and well assembled woods course.

It's a disc golf park course which means you will always have good turf pads, signs and the disc golf park baskets that are basically disc catchers with only one inner ring. I like them and the only spot you don't want to miss is side/low since the chains move slightly less.

The holes are mainly shot shaping through somewhat thick woods, in a way almost reminiscent of Steady Ed, and just like that course it features some water carries that while are not incredibly punishing do add some flavor to the course.

There is a good amount of elevation, especially through the middle section and some long legit par 4s. They are a little soft from the shorts but the longs typically have an element that makes them just a little more demanding. Wether that be just the shot shape or added distance.

The variety of lines and shot shapes you need to score made this such a fresh play for me and the lake views on several holes really highlight the beauty of this property.

Cons are few but there are a couple, long walks between the holes on some spots, especially from the short tees. And though there are signs sometimes directions are not super clear. Or maybe I'm just a little dumb.

There are also a few of the turf tees that could use some leveling as the rains of winter have left some wrinkles in the turf.

It's not a real con I suppose but look out for wildlife. Some decent size snakes near the water.

This is a legit top course and I don't know how I haven't been anxious to play it sooner. It's a little out of the way compared to some but totally worth the 20 minutes off the highway, and if I'm back this way with a free two hours I will be trying to beat my first score.

This course was so fun and well designed, I thought I was playing a John Houck course. Multiple routes on several holes are available including a couple of water routes to bypass the tight pine tree lined fairways if you're brave enough. I love these teepads. In fact, the discgolfpark style of teepad is my favorite.

The eight holes with water hazards are manageable with plenty of bail out or play it safe options. There are plenty of elevation changes as well as varying distanced holes throughout the course. Hole 11 being the most unique teeing from a hill traveling over a gully to two basket options near the water. The designers did a great job of mixing hole lengths to not get repetitive.

I believe I saw multiple pin locations on each hole. There are short and long tees with excellent signage. We played the shorts for time management purposes. The longs looked excellent, also.

The area for disc golf seems dedicated to disc golf besides a few trail walkers.

While playing short pads, expect a ton of walking between holes.

The par 4's seemed to be soft par 4's as I was getting birdie opportunities (Rec rated player here).

The trees could be a con if you don't like traditional woods golf.

I'd really be nitpicking to list more cons.

This course was two 18 year old kids' first rounds. They handled it well, and have already commented the courses after were much easier! I've been wanting to play here for years, and was not passing up the chance!

Far and away the best use of water I've ever seen, along with Excellent woods holes.

-Amenities: Large, wonderful turf tees. Signs with all info and maps for both long and short tees. DISCatchers. Extensive next tee signage. Cleared out paths and boardwalks where needed.

-Multi-Tees: Long and short tees on most, if not all, holes. A good differentiation between difficulty.

-Water Use: Just wow. I have never seen such extensive, good use of water. The pond (which is basically a small lake) is a major play factor on (1), (7), and (10)-(15) - almost half of the course. Sometimes it's a deterrent backdrop to the basket or fairway, sometimes there are water carries ranging from short to long, and a couple of holes have beautifully perched baskets on small peninsulas. Along with this are incredible views. Any one of these could be signature holes on a course.

-Remaining Terrain: Hills and woods fill in the rest of the course and make for a good place to play. Plenty of elevation shots, and the trees are a nice consistency to be a major challenge but also scrambleable.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: A really fun course that is simultaneously difficult but easily playable. The woods holes have decently wide fairways, so it's not a crapshoot to stay out of trouble, but many birdie lines will require committed line drives that might narrow the gaps a bit. The lake holes aren't all as safely playable, but most of them have decent bailout routes. Quite a few of these water carries are not just about the carry, but also about placement for subsequent shots, or a putt, if searching for birdies. The course includes six multi-shot holes that are total blasts, and the par-3s are a mix of long and more birdieable. Even barring the water, the shapes included are easily good enough for Langley to be a solid 4.0 course.

-Transitions: As many have noted, the walks between holes are frequently pretty long. They aren't unpleasant, just longer than normal. I only got confused on one, which was (15)-(16). Go all the way back past basket (2).

-Conclusion: The weakest holes at Langley are the final three. They aren't bad holes per se, but (16)-(17) are fairly bland woods holes and (18) is a great hole except for its total hideousness and lack of dedicated fairway to stand in.

-Aura: For lack of a better word, the area around this park feels a bit dumpy. The sound of industrial equipment wafts through the air like a faint hint of burnt rubber. Several between-hole transitions feature barren piles of dirt obviously dumped after landscaping. Holes (8) and (18) are bordered by vast fields of sod like so many factory-produced tee shirts. The views of Langley Pond are more than worth it, but this isn't a disc golf sanctuary like the Best of the Best.

-Water: Obvious, but the water is likely to claim discs. I threw two in and was able to retrieve on (both on hole (15)).

-Snakes: I saw multiple water snakes during the round. I don't know zoology well enough to say if they were poisonous or not.

-Two Holes: (6) and (16) weren't terrible, but they didn't have birdie lines from the long tees.

-Tee Encroachment: Some tees are being overcome by dirt/sand. On the other hand, a lot of tees had clearly been rehabbed from the encroaching elements, so hopefully maintenance continues and this doesn't become a real problem.

I love Langley. Like, really love. The water use here is one-of-a-kind in my experience, and so many holes are etched in my memory as signature shots. Portions of the environment are a let down, and there are some less gripping holes (especially towards the end), but on the whole this is an incredible course. As of this review, I have it as my #9 overall, and four of the courses in front of it are Top 10. Play it, and I doubt you'll be disappointed.

-Notable Holes: It's been a while since I included individual hole descriptions, but some holes here are worth it. (1) is a thrilling downhill with a basket perched at the top of a short slope to the lake edge. (4) is the first of many good par-4s, a downhill tunnel leading to a split fairway with a left to right slope. The par-5 (8) is a dogleg right leading to a slowly meandering fairway traveling up a big hill to the basket. (10) is one of the two most signature holes, a big downhill tunnel leading to a peninsula basket with the best course views. (15) is the other big and iconic par-5. This hole somehow creates a split fairway over the water, with long and short water carry options. From there, it's a straight, downhill marathon with water on the left and trees on the right.

I think one of the testaments to this course is how many holes are reminiscent of iconic holes from other Phenomenal courses. The water carry (7) is a mirror image of Hobbs Farm (13), the sheer elevation and narrow tunnel of (10) somehow reminded me of Harmon Hills (17), the perched baskets of (11) screamed Bucksnort (5) at me, and (13) opens from the woods to the lake a la Brazos East (4).

~Similar Courses: See previous paragraph. After playing Langley, I played IDGC Headrick, and they are quite similar to each other. The water holes are pretty unique among what I've played. Closest match otherwise is Hobbs Farm (Carrollton, GA). I've never played there, but the wooded holes are what I imagine Northwood Park (Morton, IL) to be like from pro tour coverage I've seen.

Discatcher baskets in great shape. Tee pads are phenomenal. Very clearly marked in between holes. Excellently maintained fairways, except 8 and 18. Pro and am tees with se optional basket positions on a few holes.

They are doing some work at the entrance putting in a water park. Some holes have some construction issues, specifically hole 8 there is a giant mound of sand in the middle of the fairway.

Overall the course is in fantastic shape except for hole 8 and 18. Clearly marked and Discatcher baskets.

This is my first "Disc Golf Park" designed and installed course, and I am impressed.

With the exception of the opening and closing holes, this course is cut through some magnificent forest with enough elevation to keep things interesting. Fairways are about the perfect width, with nothing I'd consider poke-n-pray but plenty of penalty for hitting trees and getting kicked sideways. There are some serious thorny plants in the rough, so beware!!

There are a great variety of lines and fairway shapes, from skinny and straight to wider bends and doglegs. A couple of holes drive up over a small rise and then drop back down to the basket, creating some intriguing blind drives.

From the short tees there is a nice variety of holes from easily reachable Par 3's to longer, multi-shot Par 4's and 5's.

IF the pond had been there (see cons) there would be water very much in play on several holes, offering some interesting risk/reward choices.

Hole infrastructure was excellent, with my favorite Innova DisCatcher baskets and their bright yellow band showing up in the shadowy woods. Tee signs were small but adequate, though I'd prefer some indication of "Pro" and "Am" at the tee itself.

This first experience with the Disc Golf Park artificial turf pads was positive. They are flat and level, and allow confident run-up and follow-through. Certainly easier on the knees and shoes than concrete.

Navigation was very good, with plenty of signs to the next tees. That being said, just a couple more on some of the longest walk-outs would be welcome reassurance that you're still on track.

The Pond was MIA during my round. Work is being done on the dam and it is drained way down. You could clearly see where the edge of water had been, and it would have been fun to actually play over the water.

The turf tees are starting to show a bit of age. The Hole 1 pad had grass beginning to grow up through it, and many of the pads were loaded up with sand and debris. With no brooms there wasn't any way to clean them up.

As others have mentioned, there are some long walk-outs between holes, enough to add some fatigue to the round. I was pretty charmed by the early ones, as I was enjoying my walk in the woods. By the time I finished the long walk from 15 to 16 I was over it. I imagine on a hot, humid day you would wish things were a bit more compact!

I didn't hate Hole 18 as it was a great opportunity to air out a RHFH drive. But it is currently playing down a skinny strip with construction equipment and materials lining the left side. Not the best way to finish a technical, wooded course.

I just realized that this was my 250th course. A good one to do it on!

Overall a wonderful course, and one that is so close to the IDGC that you might as well add it in to the mix!

I'd love to come back and play it once the lake is up to normal elevation.

(4.355 Rating) A medium length technical masterpiece where Beginners will be carved-up like the Thanksgiving Turkey at John Madden's house.
- CHALLENGING - This is no doubt a championship style course. I admittedly threw the shorts (Blues). As an Intermediate level player and I think it gave me all the challenge I needed. I only just cracked par from this layout, but I still made sure to take a look at all but one back (Gold) tee line. I skipped (14), which required an extra walk down towards the pond shore, and I was already tired by this point on this long beat down course. The tee shot demands from Gold tee (10) and (15) are absolutely spectacular! I recommend bringing a couple throw-away discs to the player that plans to throw the Gold layout. There's a big difference between the two tee layouts. The Golds are perhaps 8 throws or more difficult than the Blues. I looked up a recent professional tourney at Langley and even par from the Gold tees netted 990 rated rounds. I've played less than 10 courses that offer a more difficult layout than that.
- SIGNATURE HOLES - Some of the most fascinating holes I've ever seen. As mentioned under the challenging pro, holes (10) and (15) are sensational. (10) is a well defined 50 foot downhill tunnel shot par 4 with risk reward fairway options. The left fairway is definitely more open, it just requires putting the next shot over the lake blindly and bringing it back to the right. (15) is a monster par 5 starting with a big water clear and hitting one of two fairways across the lake inlet. After the tee shot, hole management takes center stage as one has to maneuver around trees and terrain changes for the next 500 feet. Holes (7), (12) and (14) are all awesome water plays as well, I just wish the water element was used more effectively on the right side.
- UNIQUENESS AND DESIGN - A 7,863 foot par 62 from the Gold tees. Two par 5s and four par 4s. Lots of water in play if Langley Pond is at a high bank level. Lots of elevation in play. No epic elevation above the 70 foot range, but lots fairways with 30 feet of grade change in them. I think (8) changes the most being a par 5 that runs up 60 to 70 feet. Hole (10) is the biggest down-shot here where the gold tee plays down about 50 feet to the landing area, and then rises back up a bit on the approach. The layout is mostly tunnel shots excluding (1) and (18). Holes twist both ways and some are gradual turns while others are 90 degree placement doglegs. Numerous holes have multiple well defined fairway options where hole management and risk reward analysis will tingle the brain. The only thing missing at Langley is the short featureless open hole.... oh darn.
- RAW BEAUTY - Langley's exotic looks stack up well compared to the best courses I've played. I graded the course a 4.625 out of 5 for beauty, which is roughly 10th on my list of 310 courses played. In addition to the noted holes above, the layout has a lot of eye-pleasing densely wooded holes.
- TEE EXPERIENCE - This is only the second time I haven't taken away rating points for not having concrete tees. (Perkerson in Atlanta is the other) The best built turf tees I've ever played on. It was a little wet, muddy and misty on the morning I arrived and the tees were in wonderful shape. Its remarkable for the course to have been in the ground for over 3 years now and the unevenness to be almost unnoticeable. The Gold tees are 6 feet by 12 feet and the Blue tees are 5 feet by 10 feet. Tee shading was excellent and there were benches on just about every tee.
- NAVIGATION - Unfortunately no course map on site during my visit. However, navigating this course is almost flawless. First off, sweet looking metal arrow plates apparently welded to the base of the baskets. Navigational cues between holes are everywhere. The only time I questioned my path between holes was after (15). This was the only gap where there were no signs for a good 500 feet. My guess is that a directional sign fell down just prior to my round. As for the tee signage, very good. They have all the info one would need, distance, par, obstacles and next tee directions. The aesthetics for them is nice too, but not extravagant enough to break into my top twenty.
- CHARACTER - In addition to the tees and navigation, the rest of the basics and extras are about average. For one thing, the perfect basket for a woods course with the yellow band peaking threw the trees. Thankfully on this long and hilly course there is seating on every hole. There's a nice mid-way point shelter at tee (10) with two picnic tables. Restrooms are near tee (1) but they were locked during my visit. See cons, Under Construction. There is one extra basket placement on (11), but I envision a lot more alternate placements as this course continues to evolve.

The issues are mainly limited to the effects delivering a championship style layout.
- DISCONTINUITY - I rarely take off rating points for this, but the gaps between holes on this layout are so over the top that it began to effect my experience. I understand wanting to deliver ideal tee shots and trying to eliminate filler holes, but then why do holes like (1), (2), (17) and (18) exist.
- UNDER CONSTRUCTION - Several prior park amenities are no longer present or available. The restrooms were locked due to vandalism, the drinking fountain was broke, the course map was pulled, the practice baskets were pulled and the driving range was all ripped up.
- SAFETY HAZARDS - I don't get (18). There's so much great land to use here, why end the layout with a hazardous open RHFH shot that goes down a park road and along the open practice fields.
- ANTI-CLIMATIC - In addition to (18), the last 3 holes feel anti climatic. (16) and (17) blue tees are just fairly straight and simple wooded par 3s. Walking up to (18) and looking down fairway was a let-down considering the epic holes earlier in the layout.
- LOOSE DISC OPPS - I feel blessed to not have lost one disc out here. There are a bunch of unforgivable hazards out here, as well as a few nasty impenetrable overgrowth areas. I spent 10 minutes searching for my driver, on just one hole. Playing the short tees only takes away a small fraction of the risk.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - Way too difficult for beginners and novice players as well. If you haven't played over a hundred rounds of disc golf, this course will eat you alive. I could see a segment of Recreational population not enjoying this course as well.
- TERRAIN - If you have bad knees or ankles I'd stay clear of this course. There are lots of rocks and roots to stub a toe or twist an ankle on. Several fairways are littered with small branches which will take away the skip play. Players that like well groomed courses may not enjoy this course as much as others. Probably not the best course for the disc golf cart, you'd need some big wheels.
- PARKING - the original parking area is gone and all that remains is a small strip next to the trail heads. I could see some issues on a busy day.
- TIME PLAY - It took me a hair under two hours for a quick solo player in good shape. That's utter ridiculousness for the 5,800 foot blue tee layout. Figure 3 1/2 hours for a foursome. I bet if a league existed, it would take 4 hours. This really limits effective usage from the locals.

Any player looking for a beautiful diabolical challenge needs to plan a trip here. Players looking for a laid back round however won't find it here, even if playing the short layout. For me, it was an instant favorite and it holds up very well when comparing it to the IDGC courses. The layout delivered one memorable shot after another. As of this review, I have the course rated at my 7th position out of 310 courses played. Had all the missing items noted for my Under Construction con been here, Langley would likely nudge up into my top 5. Please PM me if you know that this construction is complete and that these amenities have returned. I will update my review and score.

Fantastic rustic style course with plenty of elevation changes, beautiful forest, and the "pond". A good mix of hole lengths and types. Bridges and staircases to help in rough spots and steep climbs. Some of the best tee signs and next tee signs that I have ever seen. Very challenging, even from the short tees. Brutal, from the long tees. Two sets of really nice concrete tees covered in AstroTurf (Should become the new standard for tees, in my opinion, they really are very nice). Plenty of benches and brooms. Possibly the best chill spot on any disc golf course (a covered pavilion with picnic tables, isolated and with tees for hole ten on one side and the pond on the other). Friendly locals. Well maintained.

Not too many cons here. There are some long walks between a lot of the holes. At first, I was digging the nature hikes, but towards the end, it started wearing me down. This course is a long walk around! Probably not the best course for low-level rec or new players. I would also recommend wearing long pants and sturdy hiking boots.

There is still construction going on in the park, but it doesn't really affect disc play too much. Old hole three is now hole one. The greater Augusta area is home to several destination courses and makes for a fine road trip.

Wonderfully executed, championship caliber course.

• Variety: Excellent. Nice mix short, long, and somewhere in between (especially if you're willing to jump between short/long tees). Wonderful collection of fairway shapes, with several interesting holes that play to legit landing zones. Particularly well-wooded, but still features some holes that offer a few lines off the tee, forcing you to choose one and strategy and commit. Balanced in that it requires BH/FH, hyzer/annie lines. Genuinely one of those "every shot in your bag" type of courses.

• Challenge: Excellent. Plenty of legit Par 4's and a couple of Par 5's. The holes may be long, but this course decidedly favors accuracy over distance. I only recall one hole (#18) where sheer distance without good placement is likely to go unpunished. If anything, this course is challenging to a point that might frustrate some players ...(PDGA# 7495 comes to mind).

• Elevation: Excellent. The varied topography is superbly exploited throughout the course to increase challenge, enhance fun, and keep you engaged the entire round. Uphills, downhills, rollaways, and more, including a few holes that basically play pretty flat.

• Equipment: Excellent. Concrete tees with artificial turf drain well and provide great footing. Baskets are actually DiscMania's version of Innova Discatchers, with a shallower tray than current Discatchers, but the same yellow band screaming "Hey, I'm over here!" ...even from a distance in the woods. Top notch tee markers and next tee indicators as needed. Benches, brooms, trashcans, well-constructed steps and bridges round things out to let you know they took things seriously.

• Aesthetics: Quite a picturesque course, with several holes featuring beautiful views of the retaining pond/lake. I wouldn't quite call it rugged, but the varied terrain makes for a scenic hike through the woods.

• Routing/Nav: Very Good. My guide was intimately familiar with the course and quite engaging, so all I can say is, nothing struck me as particularly difficult. There are some long walks between holes, but everything is well-marked, so if end up at the wrong tee, it's obvious immediately, rather than wondering if you've skipped some holes. If you're playing for the first time, print the map beforehand or snap a pic with your phone at the start.

• Memorable Holes.
I enjoyed 7's island green.
#15 has an epic feel to it.
#18 After playing lumberjack the previous 14 holes, letting one (or more) rip from an elevated tee is a very satisfying way to end your round.

• Bonus: Driving range and Practice baskets

admittedly nit-picky
• I like technical, woodsy, hilly courses, but the stretch from 3 -17 starts to feel a bit long on the tooth. One or two, somewhat open holes playing to a well-guarded pin toward the latter section of the course would provide a respite from the haunted forest, and provide a better sense of "pacing," while making the course a bit more complete.

• More a recommendation than a con: 1st timers might want to avoid solo rounds in late spring/summer. Well-defined fairways really tempt you to get down there, but with the twists, turns, and terrain, a bad kick could easily leave you with no clue where your disc ended up once everything's grown in.

Langley's long, very well-wooded, hilly holes reminded me a bit of Nevin, but maybe even nicer. The timing of my visit (late Dec) was a double-edged sword; no doubt I played a much more forgiving course in the winter, but I didn't get to appreciate how nice this course must surely be come spring/summer.

Several reviewers mentioned long walks as cons. Maybe I didn't mind because I had a guide, but I can say this course successfully avoids lame filler/connector holes. Sometimes, a few long walks between holes is the price you pay for that.

This course is a 4.25 that's so well-designed and executed, and so pretty, I can see my way to a 4.5.

Less than an hour from IDGC, and basically just outside of Augusta (with several other highly rated courses).

Note: This review is for the long (Gold) teepads.

- This course has the most consistent level of challenge of any course I've played. No gimme birdie holes. No un-parable holes (well, 4 is really tough and 16 is just a poor hole). If you get a birdie, you earned it.
- Good use of shot shapes. Well balanced between left to right and right to left holes. Challenging but achievable distances on holes.
- These teepads rule. Very large and grippy. I never thought twice about them (and I generally think about even well installed concrete pads).
- Great tee signs and directional signs. The tee signs were accurate and informative. The directional signs were well placed and easy to see.
- Good use of elevation and water. I think that the water holes had both right turning and left turning shapes was brilliant as it challenges players to hit both types of shots.

The only poorly designed hole was 16, the teepad is tucked into the backside of a hill leaving a completely blind 376' teeshot down a tight gap to open area and then a tightening green. It's a tweener and it's a very easy two shot hole or a very flukey one shot hole. The teepad should either be pushed back 75' and turned into a par 4 or the teepad moved up 75' on top of hill.

And I think the first water hole with an island green (#7) should have a drop zone. If failing to hit island from longs, move to short teepad. If fail to hit from short teepad, move to drop zone.

If not for 16, this is a 5.0 course.

Although excellently installed, the course needs a club or group to handle the period maintenance. Several of the new fallen trees have not been maintained.

This course has every challenge and shot you could possibly want with the possible exception of a good roller hole. Tee pads and signage are excellent and the course is well-maintained with bridges, steps, and boardwalk paths where needed. A nice practice putting area and driving range (marked out to 400') are right next to the parking area. You can warm up with some putting then throw some drives before heading to the 1st tee past the far side of the driving range. All holes except 18 have separate short and long tees.

About the only thing I can come up with is that there are a few long walks that could have used one or two more directional signs along the path but this is more of a nitpick than an actual con.

A great addition to the course roster in the Aiken, SC, area. I'll play it every time I'm in town visiting the in-laws. Well worth your time.

This course has a great mix of short, moderate, and longer holes. Both uphill and downhill holes are accounted for here. Dog leg L and R shaping holes.
Protected baskets and lower ceiling shots are here as well.
Multiple tees and pins placements. Both sets of tees provide a different look at each hole. Signage is good and the Kiosk is in excellent condition and provides all the information needed.
Tees are plenty ample, made of astroturf(providing a unique factor)and allow for a proper run up.
Brooms on the back of the benches so you can clean off the tee pads. Benches at many holes. Bridges in the appropriate spots and stairs where needed as well.
The elevation is awesome and will add to the challenge of the round.
There are a couple of holes where water may or may not come into play so that adds to the pucker factor a bit. You won't want to over shoot on say hole 1 or 11 especially.
Directional arrows on the baskets to keep you on the right path.

There several places where there are long walks between holes.
3's basket to 4's tee, 12's basket to 13's tee, and 15's basket to 16's tee come to mind. Sometimes the walks are longer than the holes themselves. This slows the flow of the round down a bit.
There is also a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the first tee and from 18's basket to the parking lot.
There are a couple of stumps here or there that aren't flush with the ground. Paying attention would be advised.

This course offers so much shot variety and the round will be challenging both physically and mentally.
Even though this course has a couple of cons the shots more than make up for it. This course is one of the best in the area and is super fun to play. This course starts out with a nice downhill shot towards the lake before you make your way through the woods to play the next 16 holes. Hole 18 is an epic elevated tee shot with the basket positioned on the side of a hill. You can go out over the driving range with a big anny(RHBH) or could rip a giant FH(RHFH) to try and reach the pin. The trees that line the fairway can be thrown over as of right now but in the coming years this may prove to be more difficult.
What other course have you ever been to that has had a DRIVING RANGE? Yes you read that correctly this course has a driving range with distance markers and multiple tees with benches to set your bag on. You will be looking for a place to pay green fees, but rest easy non are needed here. Very unique addition to this course.
If you are in the area this is a must play course. Do yourself a favor and play this course and then head over to Boyd Pond Park. If I ever get back to the area both of these courses will be on my replay list.

Langley Pond is an elite course. It's easily in my top 10 of more than 230 courses played. And it might, just might, be South Carolina's best course.
- Pure brilliance throughout. This course has everything a championship caliber course should have. You're going to face some brutal, long, and frustrating layouts. You're going to be fighting for pars. You're going to have to make solid throw after solid throw just to survive. And you will love it.
- You get a chance to warm up before it gets tough really fast. Just like any horror movie, everything appears calm at first. Holes #1 - 3 should all be easy pars. It's not until hole #4 that you really get to see what this course offers.
- From holes #4 - 10, four holes are longer than 500 feet. Hole #4 starts it off at 714 feet. Halfway down the fairway, you must pick which route you're taking to the basket. Choose wisely.
- One of the shorter holes in that stretch - #7 at 285 feet - plays over the marshy part of the pond. Even when you think you can relax, you still need to throw well just to save your disc.
- Then there's #8, an absolute beast of a hole at 753 feet. Just when you think you've survived, the last third of the hole plays uphill to the basket. At this point, remember you've still got 10 holes to go and there's nowhere to bail out.
- By this point in my round, I'd given up any hope of carding a birdie. The course does offer places for you to catch your breath. You know a course is tough when you're glad to be getting easy 3s. Holes #9, 11 & 12 all offered a chance to catch my breath.
- The course has plenty of benches and trash cans. Benches are needed. Also, a small, ingenious part of the course was its transitions markers. There are green next arrow signs; however, along the paths, the tree roots are also spray painted green throughout these walkways. Clever touch.
- Ummm, there's a ton of unused hilly, wooded land throughout the park. If you can have 18 elite holes, you can also have 36.

This course has one glaring weakness: the ridiculous amount of walking between many holes.
- Yes. The course is elite. That said, at what point is a course taking liberties by using excess land to create 18 holes? Can you use an entire large park to create an 18-hole layout? What about a city? When you're backing tracking the length of an entire hole plus another 500 feet, is that excessive? I can't think of any other course I've played where I've had that much walking between holes. The course length is 1.5 miles, and I bet there's close to another mile of walking throughout the course.
- As bad as the walk is for the pro layout, imagine playing the shorter layout, and having to walk that extra 2100 feet?
- This is a grueling, exhausting course. With all that walking, all that walking up and down hills, and number of throws required, the course will wear you out. I played a solo round, played reasonably well, and it still took me more than an hour and a half to finish my round.
- It'd be nice to see #7 have an easier land-access point, especially from the short tees. There seems to be a high lost disc factor on this hole, which can be frustrating.

Langley is a top-notch course. It's one of the best I've ever played. In fact, I think it might be the best free, public course I've ever played (Renny & Ashe County are also in the conversation).
- We all wish the course layout were more compressed. No one likes the long walks between holes, but don't let that take away from this course's beauty.
- This is the best summation of Langley. I looked back at my online score for my round. I had 19 total putts for the round. Even if I was off by a couple of putts, I didn't have that few because my putting is that great. It's not. It's because I was often scrambling to salvage par and/or throwing approach shots from 100 - 150 feet out. The point being is this course tests every aspect of your game.
- A slight annoyance is that two of the weaker holes are #16 & 17. You're coming through an epic stretch of holes and have the hill in front of the tee pad on #16 and a simple, straight, uphill shot on #17. #18 is a fun hole. It just a complete 180 from the rest of the course.
- #15 is great in that it offers two split fairway options. Right off the tee, you've got to choose how you're going to play the hole. And then you do it again mid-fairway.
- There are some great views of the water. I love the look from the tee on #10. It's a great downhill hole. Also, enjoy the view from the tee on #15. You get to look into the eye of the storm before it comes crashing down on you.
- I'm giving this course a 4.5 rating. I wanted to give it a higher mark, but it's not the level of the 5.0 rated courses I've played. It's comparable to the IDGC's Jackson layout. This course alone is worth a trip to the Augusta area.

Challenging holes from the longs and the shorts. A bench on every hole. The turf pads are the best surface I've ever played on. When the water is back up to full pool it will be the most challenging course in the area. Considering that Jackson and the new Worlds course at Fort Gordon are nearby, that is saying something.
This course makes you carve lines, and has a few places to just let the big dog eat. Mostly a big arm course, but if there is a short hole you better hit your line. Birdies are sparse here so get them when you can.

It is not a place to take a beginner to learn how to play. It could also use more trash cans. I'm personally a pack it in pack it out kind of player, but I pick up other peoples mess along the way. It would be nice to have a place to dump the extra along the way. Some of the walks between holes are a bit far, and I'm just not a fan of 16 long. it plays into a hill from the tee shot. I would have rather the box was back about 30 to 40 feet to give you room to throw a controlled shot into the gap than have to worry about the hill, gap, and bench on the short off the rip.

The services offered there and the facilities are always improving. Nothing but love for the course. It's my favorite form of torture.

Great design, great opening hole, tough as can be, but not unnecessarily complicated. Back 9 is a beast. Great use of land. Driving range. Great upkeep. Nice bridges and stairs

Still a little rough around the edges, as expected from a new course,
Horse riders let horse poop on tee pad.

Great addition to the area disc golf group. Thanks to all involved with this jewel in the valley.

Aiken County Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Department has "literally" shown other counties in our state how a championship gold level course can be placed strategically for recreation and tourism benefit to a county!!!
- Heavily wooded course for the technical player but definitely playable holes, I had a nice Ace run that ended up a bird on 16 (hit basket), we had several birdies made through the round and yes sadly a few bogeys and double bogeys......Of, course there are some great spacious holes for grip and rip fans too!!!
-Elevation is prominent to say the least and the course is a more like a gentle hike versus a stroll in the woods. Some hills are steeper than others.
-Modern design to pin placement makes you be creative with your approach shots.
-Great amenities (clean restrooms) playground, picnic tables and parking. The park is located behind a shopping center off the main highway, great for supplies.
-FORMAL DRIVING RANGE- 4 tees, and a practice area with 2 BASKETS is nice concept to see.
-2 sets of tee pads (Pro/Am) on every hole except 18, which you throw off an amazing hilltop toward driving range......MAJESTIC!!!!
-Great mix of excellently designed par 3's, par 4's, and 5's
-Benches at every tee pad are nice for busier days and for tourneys.
- Tees and signs are awesome weatherproof signage that will last through the change of seasons!
-I think the directional arrows in bottom of tray of basket are very contemporary feel.

The course does have stairs in most crucial areas of the course and I know the curators are still working but some of the transitions from basket to tee pad areas may need "step attention" if a sufficient path isn't worn in the hills over time.
If the fairways were possible "dragged" with a tractor clears all the collateral damage debris and bush hog shrapnel remains, walking the course would improve 100%.

I initially played the course on New Year's Day 2016 and it was an absolute war zone with all the fallen logs, branches and overturned shrubs still in place! I returned to play it this past Saturday (March 19, 2016) and the difference was unbelievable!!! I hated to have to put "cons" down but that's how we make improvements to the courses! Great job to the visionaries that wanted to bring a course to the "Pond" and to the ones who "dug" this course out of the woods!!
