A hilly track with good variety and fair beauty.

-Amenities: 20 DISCatchers, solid tees, nice bridges where needed, and many benches (though the fiancee was a little aggravated by their excessive tallness--at 6'0" I couldn't touch the ground while sitting on them).

-Elevation: One of the strong suits for sure. Hills, from gentle to steep, are a factor on every one of these holes. I think this is singlehandedly the difference between a 3.0 and a 3.5 for this course.

-Terrain Variety and Beauty: The first 10 are heavily wooded and pleasant to meander through, as there isn't much else in this part of campus. The last 10 are generally more open (with a couple more wooded exceptions), but at times offer views of the Virginia mountains or look out over campus below. It was a very nice place to spend a morning in early December.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: Some very good designs, some more unique holes, and just plain fun. The wooded front 10 is highly challenging with tight and windy lines that require everything from a frozen rope over a valley to a gentle left turn down over a creek to a two-shot play requiring you to go down and out of the woods then up and back into them shortly after. The open back 10 have some unusual elevation plays, especially on the up then steep down (11), bomb (13), and fascinating (16) playing what seemed to be 100' down on a 230' hole. Contrary to outdated DGCR info, there are four par-4s on the front 10 but none on the back 10 (though wooded (18) played like a short par-4 to me). Several short holes are birdie opportunities, but also some of the par-3s will need a good rip to get to the pin with a putt.

Outdated info and unreasonably tight lines.

-Signage: The signs are totally useless. I guess they were for a previous iteration of the course, but now they're about as helpful as a map of Mt. Everest posted on the Matterhorn.

-Line/Design: Some holes are just shaped wrong, or have very tiny gaps. The turns sometimes don't follow natural disc angles, and on a couple of holes the sequencing of turns is impossible for any non-drone flying object to traverse. This is mainly on the front 10, but also on (18).

-Disc Loss and Hazards: Some issues scattered throughout. First, in fall/winter you could easily bury something in the leaves, while I assume in green months an errant shot could be hard to track in these thick woods. On (5) a road is highly at risk, on (11) a dirt road goes straight through the fairway, on (14) what appears from the tee to be a marked-off island green is actually a roped-off hole filled with murky water, on (16) the lacrosse field is easily reachable by a slight overthrow, and on (19) anything not dead straight could potentially fall right and down a steep dropoff.

-Maintenance: Tons of leaves down when I played. Also, some inexplicable piles of branches in the woods, including in the circle on (6).

-Long Transition: (15) to (16) is a very long uphill walk that won't be super obvious without a map. (18) to (19) was a bit confusing as well, since what looks like a tee is in fact nothing in particular.

There's a lot to like about this Liberty course with its elevation, challenge, and variety, but quite a few issues between the upkeep and occasional design blunders. Definitely the most personality of any college course I've played yet--it's trying to be a championship course, but all of its weird quirks stick out and seem to ruin your shots. Overall, it's still a Very Good course with some unusual holes worth trying out for visitors and dedicated practice from locals.

Also, this is obvious, but it's 20 holes. Not sure that I like or dislike that, but it's different.

- Signage directs you to each teepad, with one glaring exception on hole 15-16.
- Good hole maps at each tee, complete with small bag hangers.
- A good workout over hilly terrain.
- Good mix of shots and elevation change. The front nine is mostly line shaping in the woods on the side of a hill. The back nine is more open with many downhill shots through mountain meadows, finishing with a very nice open 20th and final hole that could host a big gallery during a tournament.
- pads are long artifical turf in decent shape. They are small and some of them are bumpy.

- a little difficult to find. The address on this site is incorrect. The course is on Liberty Mountain Road.
- the course map in the link on this site is out of date, with the big difference being holes 15-20.
- plenty of parking, but it is signed as permit until 4pm. There were tons of vacant spots so I doubt they care. I parked before 4pm and I wasn't ticketed.
- bring your own water. You'll need it! Couldn't find a restroom either
- the course is very hilly, which may be a con for some due to difficulty.
- as another person stated, remember to walk UP the ridge from 15 basket to 16 tee. It is a long unmarked walk.
- The woods on the front 9 have no underbrush and you probably won't lose a disc. However, on the back nine there are a few fairways lined with dense new-growth trees. Picking your way through them is practically bushwhacking. Thorny in spots. I lost a disc in a thicket despite 20 minutes looking.
- Holes are plenty long overall but no real bombers.

- Park on the west side of the big lot and walk past the pond to the practice basket, which is next to a grassy berm. The first tee is visible to the southwest of the practice basket. They also put in a practice tee across the pond from the practice basket.
- My list of cons is quite long, but really this is a very good course. I would be happy to call this my home course. Definitely worth a stop when passing through.

Take my review with a grain of salt because this course will be redesigned, and i would suspect so much so that this page will be extinct and a new course will be added.

Shot variety was excellent. There seemed to be an even amount left/right and straight shots. There was also ample amount of elevation changes to lengthen/shorten holes.

The most challenging course in the area as well. You'd have to drive quite a ways to test your game as much as you will here.

Each hole has 2 tee's as well as 2 pin placements, lending itself to a great variety of shots. Tees were made from astro-turf, which is what I grew up playing on. They're usually fine unless it has just rained, then they become a hazard. Overall, not the worst tee material.

Tee signs were professionally made and informative. Some of them, however, seemed to have incorrect distances. Don't take them too seriously.

There are a few eclectic shots that add a little something unique to the course. Hole 12 is very short and has a hanging basket suspended between 2 poles. Hole 16 is straight down a steep hill. If you try to float a putter down, you'll likely overshoot it.

Thinking back, although the expression is often overused, I used nearly every disc in my bag on the tee pads. Shot variety is definitely there, and you could encounter water on a few holes, namely hole 14. It doesn't immediately appear to have water, but the patch of vegetation to the left and before the hole has a small pond in it. Careful.

Vegetation is pretty nasty off of the fairways, and probably my main issue with the course. It would be extremely easy to lose a disc in several spots and I would be hesitant to play alone. In fact, I played in a party of 3 and lost a disc on hole 4 due to the leaves, not even vegetation. Just be careful with your shots and keep a good line on the shanks.

If I hadn't been playing with a local, It would have been difficult to find the next hole in a couple of spots. Hole 16 comes to mind immediately. You'll want to walk down the hill from 15's basket, but that's the wrong direction. Walk up the hill for a while from there to find 16.

There were only a couple of benches on the course. With a course that requires as much up/down hill walks as this, it would have been nice to have a some more.

It's not the easiest course to find. You'll have to drive all the way to the end of the road (past the lacrosse fields on your left) and into a really large parking lot. Drive all the way to the end of that and you'll start seeing baskets.

I've been meaning to play this course for a while now and I made the effort mostly on word that the course is undergoing a redesign sometime in the VERY near future.

This is easily the best course in Lynchburg, and for many miles around as well. I anticipate a new course within a few months, so go play this one now.

-The signage is probably among the best I've seen anywhere in terms of getting you from one hole to the next.
-I love the elevation change and the use of it on several holes where you throw over a valley or straight down a steep incline.
-Very nice scenery set on the hills above Liberty University. There's a bench on 12 or 13 that lets you overlook Lynchburg.
-Very challenging fairways that really make you work for a good placement as many of the holes do not allow you to drive right for the pin.
-Nice balance of open and tight fairways.

-While the fairways are challenging, they are also incredibly frustrating and some take blind luck to work through
-Lots of opportunities to lose discs in tall grass and thick parts off of the fairway
-While getting from one hole to the next is clear, the signage for the tee pad and pin locations can be misleading. Combine that with the tees not being visible for most holes is also frustrating.

I was in town for business and wanted to check out the local courses. I was very impressed with Liberty's course in terms of the challenges it posed and good balance of shots. A lot of the issues I had, I think, are isolated to first time users of the course and don't really take away from the course itself being very good.

Beautiful terrain in the woods
College course open to the public
Good directional signage
Front 9 plays quickly (this would make a great 9 hole course which I would have chosen to play twice rather than the whole 18)
5 - Creative hole design for all skill levels and throwing styles
10 - Birdie opportunity with an accurate and long drive
17 epic view (throw your whole bag-putters too) what do you do when school is in session and students are all over the rec fields? It would be a shame to have to skip the hole but you would have to for safety (many students will throw anyway); the wind makes many throws unpredictable, even over stable discs. That would be a letdown to skip this hole and then finish the round on a filler hole (18).

While the turf pads are ok (though funny looking), I would definitely opt for concrete for the blue tees; I know the course design doesn't lend itself to bringing in a concrete truck, so it would be difficult.
Played right after a rain and gnats where absolutely everywhere (the welcome sign warns about the bugs) (this was very distracting and frustrating putting with gnats flying up my nose) but no sign of ticks or mosquitos
Back 9 plays disjointedly and requires much more thinning of rough and maintenance of fairways to be enjoyable.
Tee box sign layout is different for each hole making it seem disorganized; bring benches and tee signs closer to the tee boxes and lay them out similarly for each hole.
Not many birdie or ace opportunities from blue tees; this will tempt some players to play for par and lay up rather than go for too much risk with too little reward.
1 - blind tee shot (ace run)
4 - no good drive options for lefties from blue tee (forehand, backhand, overhand, roller, chicken wing ...).
6 - blind tee shot; please remove middle of fairway tree near bridge marked for removal, it is right in the middle of the birdie attempt lane making it an unfairway.
11 - blind tee shot; thorny green (ouch)
13 - blind tee shot; thin the rough and trim the fairway (almost impossible to make recovery shot just to get back on the fairway if you go for the green and get in the rough (bring a spotter for this hole).
14 - filler hole; fairway needs cut; it was so overgrown I couldn't see OB roped areas.
15 -thick rough (ace run)
16 - blind but nicely designed otherwise
18 - filler hole but OB rope and raised basket adds to hole enjoyability (ace run with risk).
11-15 could use some redesigning

This is much better than most college courses which generally have safety concerns and lack of professional design standards. I thoroughly enjoyed holes (2-10, 16-17). Course is pretty far from main campus; good for safety, bad for marketing it to potential student players. Lynchburg is not really near anything and is not easy to drive to, so the course will likely receive primarily local and student play. Now is the time (summer) to do another trimming/cutting pass on the whole course since all the leaves are on the trees and bushes. Good luck Liberty University disc golf club, you have a course with a lot of potential.

This is nice, quiet course set away from the academic portion of the university. It's mostly wooded with plenty of elevation used.

Other Pros:
- nice tee signs at short tees
- 2 tees per hole
- 2 basket positions (see kiosk for "A" or "B" position)
- easy to navigate
- was not crowded at all
- nice variety
- practice basket

I think my biggest complaint would be the tees, they are boxed in gravel which is fine but they are too short. After #18 it seems that you have to walk through #1's fairway to go back to parking lot.

Other Cons:
- thick thorns and growth can eat up errant throws
- No amenities: trash cans, benches, or bathrooms
- holes # 1 & 2 tee signs are missing (posts are still there, check kiosk map before playing those first 2 holes)
- #18 is a boring, filler hole. Not a great way to end.

#17 was my favorite. A 400ft downhill bomb over the intramural field.
The address given on the main page will bring you into the middle of campus, I google mapped the course and used 400 Liberty Mountain Drive and it got me right there.

It is worth playing here, bring some good hiking shoes!

This course has great potential. It has some very nice fun holes right off the bat. Holes1 and, 2 make for a great a fun way to start a game and you throw over a ravine to an open field (hole one) Then from an open field to the woods (hole two). Basically you are on a mountain and each hole has a unique layout making the entire course a fun challenge. Hole 17 one word epic,you throw from the side of a mountain over a huge field. The view is breath taking.

They have been working on this, but it is still kind of thick and to hard to place a shot in the fairway on certain holes. Tees leave something to be desired especially if you are used to a concrete/brick tee. Baskets sometimes change location and i am and never sure which one to throw to.

Liberty's course will kick your butt if you are not in shape. The course is long and at some points the hills seem sooo steep. If played regularly this course will whip ya into shape!
