Favorite Practice Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 28, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

White tees provide a great challenge and one of the best mixes of open and wooded holes in the area. The front ten are great for practice and throwing multiple shots on to dial in release points and build confidence in the woods. Turf tees on every hole provide confidence in any weather situation.

Cons:

Blue tees are rather awful. Some of them are fun and worth playing while others are a complete waste of time. With recent construction some of the holes have been permanently changed in a bad way. This only is true about the back ten though.

Other Thoughts:

Recent removal of trees has greatly improved this course and taken away several of the "lucky" shots that were required. More improvement is needed, but this is my favorite course to go and practice on.

Quite a challenge 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 23, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-multiple tee and pin positions
-variety of short and long holes
-I really liked throwing off the turf teepads
-arrows are placed on fairways and paths to tees that help guide you (only on front 10)
-nice discatcher baskets
-the back 10 opens up and provides beautiful views of Lynchburg
-3 top of the world holes

Cons:

-very very hilly
-hard to find tees on the back 10 (typically walk uphill and you'll find it)
-lots of hills
-front 10 is mostly tight fairways and if you miss the line, you will pay dearly
-could use more signs to guide players on the back 10
-after the leaves have fallen, finding your disc is a challenge
-did I mention it's very hilly?

Other Thoughts:

This is definitely a favorite. The front 10 requires specific lines but it open up on the back 10 allowing for more creativity in shot selection. 11, 13, and 16 are beautiful on top of the world shots. 13 is one of my all time favorite holes! 400+ feet straight downhill. I tried a small left handed hyzer and a roller that made it far down the hill. I want to go back and take a simon lizotte style hyzer over the left side trees and see what it gets me.
Basket placement gets creative here. Often lots of guardian trees on the front 10. Hole 12 features a hanging basket on a 250 foot uphill shot. Hole 10 places the basket in the middle of a tree with 4 different trunks growing in different directions. Hole 20 is placed on a small mound next to the parking lot.
Overall a challenge, but a fun challenge at that

Rolling Hills and Great Views 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Rolling hills and more top-of-the-world shots than I have ever seen on a course. The top of the world shots do not have a repetitive feel as there are different types (11, 13, & 16).
-The scenery here is beautiful. Great views of the surrounding mountains. For most of the course you have that secluded feel and the course was not crowded at all. I was there on a weekday evening and literally had the course to myself.
-The course loops back around to the parking lot. It would be nice if it were a figure-8 with the front 10 ending at the parking lot, but that's not really possible with the current layout.
-The lines here are challenging, but fair.
-None of the holes are throw-away holes. Every hole is unique and has it's own set of challenges whether it is uphill, down hills, dangerous pin position or a hanging basket.
-The raised basket on hole 20 was a nice touch.
-All of the signs were there and every hole had two tees providing you with multiple options. The shots from both tees are so varied that it does not seem to favor either right-handed or left-handed.

Cons:

-This is not your typical "Course at a university." This course is strenuous. Lots of uphill walking.
-The turf-style tee pads weren't terrible, but not the best either. I'd really prefer concrete tees.
-Just a few more directional signs are needed (The transition after hole 15 comes to mind).
-Some of the rough here is exactly that, rough. It several holes seem to invite the potential to lose a disc (hole 13, hole 16).

Other Thoughts:

Overall, I really could not find a lot to complain about with this course. The flow is pretty good, the hole lengths and difficulty vary, there are multiple tee pads giving the disc golfer two looks on each hole. This course is well worth a stop if you are in the area or passing through.

Bring your "A" game! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 13, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Challenging but fun.
-Many different types of shots and variety of turns and distances.
-Easy to navigate course.
-Good workout due to the hilly terrain.
-Nice disc catcher baskets and each hole has two tees with nice tee boxes (astro turf).
-Peaceful setting.
-Much better since they cleared out many of the disc trapping weeds and briars.

Cons:

Only thing I can say is, this is not a beginner course. It is a lot of wooded holes with tight narrow alley ways. Also it can be a hike because it is basically on the side of a little mountain.
Also bring plenty of "Off" spray because the ticks and chiggers are bad if you throw your disc into some spots off the fairways.

Other Thoughts:

Great course and a must play when in Lynchburg, Va.

Needs Some Work 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2010 Played the course:once

Other Thoughts:

I wanted to go check out a course that is in the middle of being built. So, I made my way over to Liberty University's new 18 basket disc golf course. They have all the baskets in but not all are clearly marked. You can play the first ten baskets with out any real hazards. There are no tee signs so look for the pitching boxes for next basket. You can play 11 and 12 but, they have not been finished. As far as I can tell 13-16 you can not even play. When this course is done it is going to be an excellent course with a great verity of shots. I rate it at 4 since I have to put a rating in and I can see the potential in the course.

17 on the other hand is all worth while to show up for even now. The pitch box is at the top of the hill on the east side of the fields were you found basket 1. This would be to the left hand side facing the first basket (walking up the field from where you park) you see with 460 to your back. Go and pitch that disk, then watch it sail out into the feild. The view is very nice from that spot as well!
