Don't Play Here 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 15, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It exists.

There's a course map.

Cons:

Honestly, this course needs a LOT of maintenance and TLC.

The first two holes are "open" but the grass is 1-2 feet high so you better watch where your drive lands. Then, it's 5-10 minutes of wandering around looking for wherever the hell hole 3 starts.

Once you find hole 3 you start travelling into the woods, where you'll be walking with one foot directly in front of the other if you want to stay on what remains of the "trail".

Thorn bushes are growing all over the trails and the "fairways", there's spiderwebs and insects everywhere, and I'm pretty sure some of the baskets don't even exist anymore.

There are no semblance of fairways on any of the holes. You're literally just walking through the brush the entire time.

Other Thoughts:

So you're at your friend's lakehouse and want to find a nice disc golf course nearby to play a round. You find out there's one not too far away in Milledgeville and it's on a college campus. "Great!", you'll think to yourself. "It can't be too bad if it's on a college campus!".

You would be wrong. It CAN be too bad. Finding the first teepad is the easiest part of this course, and even that isn't very easy.

Hole 1 starts you off in a giant open field with 2-foot tall grass that gracefully blows in the breeze. It's actually kind of pretty, until you realize that that's where you'll be throwing your disc. The 2-foot tall grass isn't just off the fairway or anything, it IS the fairway. So you keep a very close eye on where your drive lands, but still end up having to take 5 minutes to find where it landed. You do this several more times as you finish out holes 1 and 2 (which takes you back towards the 1st teepad) before you move into the woods for hole 3, hopeful that things can't get any worse from here.

But you would be wrong. You spot the teepad after 15 minutes of searching, and while you can see the 3rd basket from where you're standing, you realize that the "fairway" at this point is about 3 inches wide. So unless you blade your disc so hard that it sticks into the trail on it's edge, you wont be hitting the fairway.

For some reason, you decide to continue on with the rest of the course. I guess it's just because there's no other courses really *that* close by, and you're already out here so you might as well finish it out.

That is until you start noticing that some baskets just don't exist. Or maybe they *do* exist, it's just that you can't find them because you feel like you've entered the jungles of the Amazon. In your search for the next teepads after each hole, and in your search for every disc you throw into the dense brush, you start to wonder if you'll accidentally stumble upon an uncontacted tribe of Native Americans.

Finally, you make it through all 18 holes (well, maybe only 14 or so because you couldn't find a few), and you exit back towards the parking lot. Dejected and covered in cuts and scrapes and bug bites and what's probably poison ivy, you get back in the car and decide it's time to just go back to the lake and drink the rest of the day away.

You'll never come back here again.
