horrible 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 25, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

First 4 holes were fine. Great for a starting player.

Cons:

After the first 4 there was no maintenance at all. Baskets overgrown and practically unplayable. The base should take better care.

Other Thoughts:

2 hole was marked at 200 and some yards but was at least 400 across the soccerfield.

NWS Charleston 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

First four holes are nice. Well maintained and the course over all is easy. Good course for new commers.

Cons:

No tee boxes. Last five holes are not marked very well. Also, grass around last five holes is extremely high and hides possible safety hazards.

Other Thoughts:

Wear long pants and closed toe shoes. Becareful where you step or you might end up in a giant whole or on top of a snake.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 28, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

It's pretty much a simple pitch and putt course. #9 is the only long hole at 431 feet. Other holes are all in the 200 - 250 foot range.
-Trees are the only obstacles on the course. Most baskets are placed behind, or near, trees to provide some challenge.
- Course is easy to navigate. #2 was the only hole I had a hard time finding. If you're standing at the tee for #2, you only see the baskets for 3 & 4. The hole for #2 ended up being nestled against some trees along the side of the soccer field.
- Holes are close together, so you can play a round in no time. #6 - 9 are all in the same field. Field has tall grass, so make to pay close attention to throws or you may spend extra time looking for your disc.

Cons:

Not much of a challenge for the average player. The course is clearly meant for the occasional player. In this case, it's another form of recreation for military people at the NWS.
- Baskets aren't in great shape, but are playable.

Other Thoughts:

I had no problem getting a round in, but I played the weekend after Christmas. I don't know if it's more difficult trying to play when there's more activity going on there. There's no checkpoint, so I was able to drive right up the course.
- It should be a good introduction to personel at the NWS, which hopefully should lead to them trying some of the other area courses.
