Pros:

First off, I've only been playing disc golf regularly for about a year. Secondly, I live in Laurens and I'm really happy that there is a decent course within 10 mins drive from my house so there might be a tad bit of bias with regards to this course.

The biggest pro of this course is that it as a decent variety of hole types . It has a little bit of everything, a few long fairways, some narrow straight shots, blind holes, up hill holes, and downhill holes. and some with water involved.

It really requires the player to practice different shots and throws to really do well on the course.

I've been playing this course once or twice a week for this past year and I still haven't gotten bored at all with it.

Cons:

There are only three real cons with this course and they aren't really about how the course is played.
1. the walk back to the parking lot is like half a mile from hole 9. I've recently heard that the parks department is planning on completing the loop so hopefully this should not be a problem in upcoming years.
2. the tee pads are just too small. you really don't have much room through on them.
3. hole number 8 is dangerous in terms of loosing a disc or two. It is a blind hole at side of the pond. If you are not careful you will drive right into the water. It is a par 4 so it is much better to play safe on this hole then to attempt the eagle and lose your disc. It is not too much of a problem if you have played here before. But if you try it the first time you might not be aware of how close the basket is to the pond.

Other Thoughts:

I think this is really a fun course. If the parks department ever completes the loop then I would most likely give this a 4.
