Good flow to the course. When you pull in the parking lot, the only hole you see is #1. From there, there are trails leading from one hole to the next, making for a quick play.
- While the course doesn't offer any length - longest hole is 248; average length is just under 182 - it does offer some decent variety. There are a couple holes with some elevation (#2 & 8 are both solid); doglegs (#9); split fairways (#8) and holes that play really close to the water (#2, 6 &7), especially if you're not careful and/or throw a bad shot. All of this gives you a taste of good disc golf round.
- The key here is accuracy. If you can throw a controlled mid-range shot, you'll see plenty of birdie chances. If you can't be prepared for difficult second shots, bad bounces off of trees and/or possibly having to retrieve discs out of the water. This is good course to practice your mid-range and short game.
- This is a good course for casual-level players. Even the holes where water comes into play, if you play smart/careful, the water mostly shouldn't be an issue. That said, you're probably just as likely to get a bad bounce off a tree and end up in the water, especially on #7, as you are to misthrow directly into the drink.
- Good course to carry only one or two discs, or if you're looking to play a quick round. As long as you have a disc you can putt with and one you can turn over either direction, leave the rest of the bag in the car.
- Good course for a quick round. I played with a buddy, and we knocked out 9 in about 30 minutes. Figure less time if you're solo, or play through twice in 60 - 75 minutes if you're with others.
- Very nice views of Lake Hartwell throughout a good portion of the course. There's also a boat ramp at this park. Other than that, there aren't any amenities, but you're 3 minutes from gas stations and restaurants, so plan ahead.

Course is somewhat cramped into a tiny portion of the park. Unless the park has a master plan for expansion - playground, trails, shelters, etc. - there's a lot of unused land here. It's probably enough for a short 18, or a longer, more challenging 9-hole layout.
- Even though I said this course should be good for beginners and casual players, there is a higher than normal 'bad luck' factor here concerning the water holes. On #2 &6, you could potentially see a disc role downhill into the water. Water is only directly in play on #7, where the right side of the split fairway goes right up to, or slightly over, the edge of the water. A bad bounce off a tree could have your disc sail 30 feet out. Like I said, it's not likely, but it is a higher risk than your typical neighborhood, short 9-hole course.
- When I played in May '14, there was a pair of dirt hills on hole 5, on both sides of the service road that the hole crosses. I enjoyed the added challenge and having to putt from on top of one of the dirt hills; whereas, others may not like it. The bigger issue is that it makes the navigation from #5 basket to #6 tee slightly more difficult.
- Not a lot of challenge, especially for more advanced players. Every hole is a birdie chance for more advanced players, or at least 9-straight ho-hum pars. My only bogey was due to shot kicking 50 feet right after barely missing my line and kissing the side of a tree.

Mountain View is a relatively enjoyable 9-holer course. There's a certain feel to this type of course - the aimed at beginners, not overly challenging, neighbor-esque quality - that seems to be the standard for nine hole courses.
- Is the name of the park misleading? I didn't see a mountain. There are other parts of town that provide better scenic views of the southern Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance.
- I also wonder how the residents of this nicer, more upscale neighborhood appreciate having disc golfers and boaters driving here and increasing the traffic on and otherwise quiet road. I can just picture awkward encounters between a professor and a student on his way to the course.
- Overall, for being such a short course, I enjoyed it. There was enough variety and fun layouts to make this fast-played round enjoyable. Don't expect greatness; but, you could do worse.

Brand new course on a peninsula on Lake Hartwell just minutes from the Clemson campus. Great potential once the course gets more play and the fairways get defined. Despite its newness, the shule is not too thick and you can see where the crew is working on pathways from one hole to the next. Plenty of elevation and the abundance of trees leads to tight fairways that require precise throws. Nice views of the lake as you play through the woods.

This course is still very raw. It has the feel of some tee pads and baskets placed in the middle of the woods. While most holes are playable through the trees, a couple of the fairways are nothing more than a three foot wide winding path. There was a lot of broken glass that needs to be cleaned up, and the "campsite" or whatever it was on Hole #2 had us wondering if we had stumbled onto a scene from the Blair Witch Project.

This is a brand new course it shows. With Clemson University so close, I imagine there are a lot of disc golf players in this area. Looking forward to seeing how things evolve here over time.
