Pros:
Mullet Hall is a beautiful temporary disc golf course set up throughout an equestrian center on Johns Island right outside of Charleston. The property is massive, and the disc golf course does a great job weaving its way around the horse facilities and incorporating the natural beauty of the area.
The course itself is fairly open with most holes offering generous fairways and room to work. A few of the holes are wooded, some very tightly. Mandos are clearly marked where applicable, and OB's defined where needed.
Here's a run-through:
Holes 1 and 2 run down a grassy strip adjacent to large oak trees into baskets tucked away against a wood line. Hole 3 is a monster par 5 with open fairways and OB on both sides. The basket is tucked away on an island green with a wooded fence running through it. Holes 4-5 weave their way through lines of oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. Mandos are in play on 4 requiring a large hyzer approach. Hole 6 is a long, wide open par 4 across the field. Holes 8 and 9 are wooded corridor holes that force accuracy off the tee.
Hole 10 is a short drive down a tunnel fairway to an elevated basket on the right side. Holes 11-14 all play out in the field, but offer different angles and approaches to protected baskets. Hole 14 in particular has the basket in a tight tunnel that shoots off the main field. Hole 15 is the tightest hole on the course, forcing a dead straight drive down a path to an open green. Hole 16, 17, and 18 play around the only true water on the course. Hole 17's basket is actually perched on a peninsula on the edge of the pond.
If you're playing the tournament layout, holes 19 and 20 lead back towards hole 1. Hole 19 is a long, open drive towards a basket tucked in the corner of the field. Hole 20 is a short drive to an island green protected by the large oak trees near hole 4.
Most of the open holes feature field fairways, but the greens are usually tucked away near the wood-line or are protected by large, overhanging oak trees.
All in all, this is a great course. It's long but mostly open so if you like to rip it off the tee, you'll do well here. Some of the woods are pretty thick, so it punishes accordingly. Not to mention the property is beautiful all the way around. You'll never lose sight that you are in the deep south here. The vegetation, the atmosphere, the spanish moss, and oh yeah... the horses!
Pros:
- Amazing natural scenery
- Challenging OB's and Mandos
- Variety of holes, angles, and lines
- Variety of lengths on holes
- Placement shot challenges
- Wind challenges
- Bathrooms on site
- Plenty of parking

Cons:
First off, this course is pretty far from most civilization. The nearest food or gas stations are about 15 minutes away. The drive in makes up for it though just due to the sheer beauty of the island.
Being a temporary course, the layout can be hard to follow without a map. Most of the tee pads are only marked with flags, so they can be hard to spot in some of the taller grass.
The water on hole 3, and 16-18 is BLACK. If a disc goes in there it's going to be very hard to find it.
On the weekend we played it rained, so the course was very wet. Some of the tee pads had to be moved throughout the weekend just because of the dirt and mud kicked up by run-ups. Hole 15 in particular was nasty to walk up the fairway. I imagine when it's dry though, you don't have these problems.

Other Thoughts:
Check the Charleston Disc Golf facebook page to see if Mullet Hall is open for disc golf before coming out. If it is, you should come give it a shot. The course is not very difficult, and for noodle-arms like myself that increases the fun factor. Park in the lot north of hole 4, walk south to hole 1 and have a great round!
