(3.325 Rating) A heavily wooded challenging course that has had significant changes in the last couple of years.
- MODIFICATIONS IN 2019 - I'm going to start this review by going off script and start off with a descriptive narrative of the changes I noticed between my experience and what I researched by going through all the past reviews. Hole (1) is the same as before. Hole (2) starts at the old tee and ends at basket (3). Hole (2) is now a 700 foot par 5, up and down the valley, with a dogleg left at the end. IMO it's the signature hole in the city of Fayetteville having played all 4 courses in town as of this review. Hole (3) is a lengthened version of old (4). Hole (4) I think is similar to old (5). Hole (5) is completely new and is a big sweeping sky hyzer left to the basket. Hole (6) is the same. Hole (7) is completely new and is a tight technical downhill line with water beyond. Hole (8) is completely new and is a long par 4. Hole (9) has modified basket location requiring more length and more precision. Hole (10) thru (14) appear to be roughly the same. Hole (15) was lengthen into a par 4. Hole (16) I think has been modified a touch. Hole (17) and (18) appear to be the same.
- CORRECTED COMPLAINTS - All the significate complaints noted in the old reviews have been fixed. "Hole (9) is missing a bridge." Connection has been built, Check. "Hole (3) throws over a bridge." Old hole (3) got the axe, Check. "Hole (7) plays along a paved path the entire way." Old hole (7) got the axe, Check. "No tee signage." Brand new artistic colored signage, Check. "No directional cues." New directional next tee signs after every basket, Check. "Course needs better maintenance." I personally found the course to be in good shape and I played near the peak overgrowth period, Check. "No benches." Benches at every tee box, Check.
- CHALLENGING - As of this review posting, this is without question the most challenging of the four courses in Fayetteville. A plus 6,000 foot heavily wooded course requiring a ton of precision and even some length. I had 3 discs with me coming in and left with 2. I shot a plus seven 65 as an intermediate. New holes (2) and (8) are monster holes requiring shot shaping, shot planning and risk reward analysis. These two holes pummeled me. IMO, the course reads as Advanced level.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - From the tee box alone, the beauty of the lines would have been 85 percentile on my ledger. Several high-quality downhill lines including hole (18) to finish off the course. Unfortunately, there is a major detractor and I dropped my score on this category to 60 percentile overall. The lake and mini creeks dicing through the layout are heavily polluted. Trash was everywhere along the lake edge. The level of clean-up required to clean this place up would be monumental. In addition, even if the waters were cleaned, they'd probably be repolluted in a few months as the trash is coming in from off-site. The areas away from the water looked great.
- SIGNAGE AND NAVIGATION - As noted under my corrected complaints pro, this category has been greatly fixed. The new tee signs were however printed using low quality materials and might only last 2 or 3 years. But, for my round, I didn't even use a map, except to find tee (1). I did not see a course map, but I started at bonus local hole (Zero), so I may have missed it.
- HOLE VARIETY - Compared to the pre 2019 layout, I imagine this has greatly improved. Two plus 600-foot holes. Two par 4s and a dogleg par 5. Lots of elevation change in the 30 to 40-foot range. Water in play on a handful of holes. A majority of the par 3 holes do play straight, but new hole (5) is a huge sweeping exception.
- CHAINS - Adequate Chainstars. They caught all my putts on target, but none of my airballs.
- EXTRAS - Restrooms, shelters, picnic areas, playgrounds, etc.

A couple minor things and preferential cons.
- LOST DISC POTENTIAL - There are 3 or 4 holes on this layout where a bad ricochet could result in a lost disc. I lost one on (8) where a tree kindly redirected my tee shot into the polluted abyss.
- POISON IVY AND BUGS - Pretty sure I caught glimpses of this stuff, but I wasn't particularly looking for it. A local player told me to check for ticks. I don't take off points for this.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - Beginners will not like this course. Don't bring them here and don't come here if you are one.
- TEES - They looked like worn down melted asphalt. Several had some modest unlevelness to them. Several I wished were larger. I've played from much worse.
- MULTI-USE HAZARDS - This is nowhere near as bad as it once was. The worse offending holes have been removed. I personally only noticed walkers or a walking path in play on holes (9), (11) and (12).
- IFFY LINES - Several holes are super tight. Players that like open course will argue that several holes are poke and hope. If the classic reviewer Redneck Machismo played here, he would have rated this one between a 0.0 and 1.0.

I was not expecting this course to be as good as I found it. I've played all four courses in town within a 6-month time frame and this was without question my favorite. Parts of the course reminded me of my backyard course V-Rock and this is also my preferred style of course. I enjoyed the cerebral intensity of this course, especially among the new holes on the layout. For veteran players traveling to Fayetteville, this should be the target course if they like challenging wooded courses. Players that don't like woods courses, probably shouldn't come to Fayetteville as three of the four are good examples of wooded courses and the other is a bland short treeless course with safety hazards abound. Overall, a 3.25 in my books due to all the upgrades and layout tweaks.
- MAINTENANCE - Kudos to the local club and/or individuals responsible for maintaining this course. I read a lot of old reviews stating how poor this aspect was. I found the mid May conditions to be great. Unfortunately, a woods course like this one will need constant upkeep. So hopefully they can keep this going.
- FUTURE EDITS - Holes (3), (4) and (5) are apparently on the chopping block according to a local I spoke too. A tennis facility is planned in that section of the park. The new replacement holes are already roughed-in, but I did not check them out.

- Nice course through the woods.
- The Tees are all newly placed concrete with 4x4s and hole map by each tee.
- Good signage marking next T and hole

- The course is kind of generic. Most holes are straight through a couple trees. They could have planned a lot more difficult course with the given terrain.
- Not cart friendly, but if you can handle carrying a few 2-ounce disks around you'll be alright.
- Tee 15 of Glenville Lakes and Tee 14 of Glenville Pines are within 10' of each other. Pay attention to what hole and course you're on or you'll start throwing the other course here.
- While the Tees are marked well now the baskets could use a little paint or brightly colored tape.

I liked this course it wound its way through the woods and made for a relaxing course. Hole 9, I think, had a shot that followed an exposed water line. The most direct route to the basket is walking on top of this line over a small creek. Great use of the terrain here. It makes for an interesting hole.

Cool course, nestled in the woods. Fair ammount of long and short holes with lefty and right hand friendly shots. Come cool topographical changes along the pipeline and plenty of 450+ft holes to air a few out on. I especially liked the 468ft bomb along the path from the long tees. Great basket location and its pretty cool seeing all the 1980s era baskets chilling in their old locations like sentinels. The back nine are almost from another course it seems, they are down in lowlands around the lake. the temp drops off, the ground becomes soggy and all of a sudden if you grip one the wrong way, your in the woods and maybe the water. Challenging course for the first time I played it for sure.

Only cons here are the markers for the course ( a little hard without a map or a friend who has played it before) and the t-boxes fall off into nothin on many of the hole. Number 1 if you mis step on your follow through your gonna have a briar filled 15ft drop before you stop rolling. Nice course though! and awesome location to downtown and PIA. Watch the bridgeless parts. Balancing act required to cross a few holes. One of which on a pipeline, not bad for us younguns, but an old codger out there would meet his end.

Its worth a play! Get out there then head to Arnette... its awesome.

Nice day trip course! check it out!

Every hole at this course except for 7, 12, and 16 are good holes. Hole 2 seems a little tacked on but is a solid technical hole. Hole one is a great starting hole and hole 18 is a very good finishing hole. The course is tight like every NC course but unlike many tightly wooded courses, this course doesn't just make you throw straight shots all day. If you want to shoot under par on this course you will have to use all the shots in your bag off the tee. I found myself throwing S curves both forehand and backhand, controlled hyzers, controlled anyhyzers and some longer forehand shots that really tested my line shaping skills.

The first big problem with this course is navigation. Do not go out there without a map or a guide. There are signs in places indicating where the next tee pad is but these signs are not always easy to see and some have been torn down. Couple that with the old course still being in and new players will get lost very easy.

The three holes I had the biggest problems with were holes 7, 12, and 16.

Hole 7 from the longs is a long hyzer down a walking path. The tee shot itself is fun and probably plays 400' The two problems with this hole are 1) you can't see all the way down the walking path. If you can throw 400' you need to check to make sure people aren't walking near the basket b/c you could hit them. 2) the walking path plays OB and also makes up the majority of the driving lane. Even with a good drive a player can land OB. A better way to play the hole would be to make everything right of the walking path OB b/c that punished overly aggressive throws that get knocked down.

Hole 12 is very odd. When you come up on the teepad you see a slightly S curved fairway with no pin. If you walk down 300' or so you will see the pin tucked up and to the left in some woods. The percentage of getting to the pin are very low and the pin seems out of place tucked away with no real good fairway to it. Most players will just throw a mid or fairway driver straight 300' and then pitch up to the basket for a tap in 3. Very low scoring separation on this hole.

Hole 16 is a downhill shot that is 260' but probably only plays 220'. The issue with this hole is that you have to hit a 8' gap about 70' away to get to the basket and there does not appear to be any other way to throw this hole. The gap is just too small for most players to hit consistently and seems like one of those shots you try when messing around with your friends. The gap needs to be widened to provide a fairer tee shot.

The other big con for me was the teepads. They were made of rough asphalt that was hard to pivot on and were already eroding due to water. They were also quite small and would drop off in the front so if you follow through off the teepad, you would hurt yourself.

I could also not find an asphalt teepad for hole 11 after looking around for a while. I ended up teeing off from a dirt pad next to a yellow pole (all the other tees I played were blue). I assume I just could not find the long pads for that hole and there was no signage to really help me.

This could could be a great course with a few improvements. They should really remove the short old course and see if they could recycle the baskets to make a new course somewhere in the area. That and tee signs would really clear up the biggest overall problems with the course.

Watch out for people. I had to stop multiple times mid teeshot because people walking around the park would cut through a fairway or emerge from some side trail you can't see from the tee pad. There are a lot of walking trails, especially on the back 9, scattered throughout the course so be on the look out.

A really nice park with great views. A beautiful lake along with some nice woods add to beauty of this place. Nice eastern NC fairways which are tight but fair. Restrooms and trashcans. This course will test your accuracy. Each tee is marked by a steel pole painted either...white, blue or gold. There are a couple of holes that have multiple tees, but it's hard to find them the first time you play. The design takes advantage of the available elevation. Tees on the new 18 are all asphalt. Course is now marked on every hole pointing you to the next. Leaving the old holes, while confusing the first time, is a really nice touch and some extra holes for your discing pleasure.

When I played here in the summer some of the fairways were fairly overgrown. A couple of holes play over or down a paved walking trail. No real tee signs, but the hole number is spray painted on each pad, and a marker with distance was visible.

The first hole can be a little hard to find the first time you play, but it is in the cul-de-sac as you first enter the park.
-My favorite hole is #7, there are 2 tees that give you a different look. The basket is perched on a fast green. The long tee is a hard left with a ton of OB, and the short tee makes you throw a tight shot that fades right.
Hole #1 is a blast as well. A nice start with a nice downhill run.
