Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

It's a place to throw discs.

Cons:

Hard to navigate for a first time player. No signage. 1st hole is next to a daycare center, had to backtrack from hole 10 to find hold 3, could not find tee box for hole 4. Overgrown in some spots and an abundance of poison ivy. The tee pads are short and made of a slick chintzy plastic.

Other Thoughts:

Probably better if you are familiar with the course but not a good first impression.

Decent Warm Up 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 2, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It's short, it's simple, it's mids and putters for the most part.
It's free, and it's well maintained seeing as it is on a state community college property.
It's a quick 9, with talks of expanding to a full 18 in 2013 or 2014.

Cons:

No signs of any type. I had to place a call to a local player and get some sense of direction from him. Once you get a gist of layout, its simple to remember and follow later on.
Hole #2's basket can be confusing. The first basket in view is actually number 8's basket. #2's is to the LEFT of that, tucked slightly behind the trees by the fence.
I am not happy that hole 1 and 2 play so close to buildings and a child care center, but as long as players use WISE JUDGEMENT AND DISCRETION when throwing, it should be fine.

Other Thoughts:

I like using this course as a quick warm up to play the other local courses like Englewood Park, Sunset Park, or Farmington Park. THese 3 are the real jewels of Rocky Mount NC disc golfing!!

Needs work. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 16, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

New Discatchers.

Holes 3 and 4 were the only redeeming factor of the course. 3 throws down by the fountain with risk of water. 4 throws over a small ditch with risk of water.

Cons:

No signage, small hard plastic tees that were hard to find initially.
Baskets are not numbers and will disappear if someone does not lock them!
Since baskets are not numbered it can be confusing. Hole 2's tee is pointed at basket for another hole while it's basket is hidden behind some trees near the Child Development Center.

Tees were hard to find, The tee for #3 is up by the speed bump.
7 has no pad, just 2 little flags. Hole 8's tee pad is right across the street from hole 7's tee pad.

Several safety issues. Hole 1's tee is just feet from the library and you throw towards a lamp and a large glass window 50 feet to the right of the basket. Hole 2 throws along a fenced in children's area, Hole 7 throws along the road. 9 throws over the corner of a parking lot at the library.

Other Thoughts:

ADDRESS WAS WRONG.
I typed in the address in my navigator and it took me to an empty field. When I found the course the navigator said I was at 3424 N. Old Carriage Rd.
No signage to find the first tee. When you approach the course you can see 6 baskets from one spot with no clue where to start.
I found tee 5 first and played 5 to 4. I am very happy I did it this way because I got to finish with the 2 best holes. The first tee is just feet from the front enterence of the library.

This course needs 3 things desperately.
1. Security. Lock the baskets or the will vanish
2. Tee signs. you need to be able to find the tees.
3. a Sharpie. Put some numbers on the baskets to eliminate confusion. While you are at it write the distances on the tee pads.
