Love this Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 14, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Awesome course with a lot of variety. This is the course I learned on and play on most often and it never gets old. Plenty of uphills and downhills and directional changes, so it is fairly challenging, especially for a beginner. But by the same token it will give you a pretty good idea of what you'll see on most other courses. Highly recommend for beginners to give it a shot. Also, there are almost always deer wandering around on the back 9, as well as other wildlife, which is pretty sweet.

Cons:

Not many, walking it is a bit long. Sorry I don't have much negative to say, I've played it a lot and can't complain.

Other Thoughts:

Favorite Hole: 18th, Par 5
This hole feels like a ball golf par 5, looks long, plays longer, it would be extremely difficult to reach in 2 because it's hidden in the woods. It almost always takes me 3 just to get within 40 ft. Great hole to end on.

High level course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 31, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice course, very clean, well maintained. Nice long holes, with many baskets placed just behind trees and around corners making even the open holes challenging. The wooded holes are very technical, but not as tight as Newport News, with some major up and downhill shots.

They have a great club house that sells a pretty good variety of discs, markers, bags, snacks and drinks. They have complimentary bugspray and scorecards.

Cons:

The wooded holes are a killer! Summer bugs abound here. I wish that the course was better marked. Hole number on the bag post would be a great thing. Got confused as this was my first time with the tees for #2 and the pro tee for #7 for a minute.

Other Thoughts:

Long course for a beginner but very nice, beautiful course. Seems like a very high caliber course, and a good challenge for everyone. Will definately return when I can throw better (not to mention straight throws!)

One of the best things about this course for me was that the baskets all had little arrow stickers at least showing you the general direction of the next hole as sometimes you walk a bit on this long course.

Wonderful Historic and Clean Course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 16, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

What a beautiful course! Located in one of the cleanest parks we've seen in Virginia (My wife even raved about the public bathrooms! The Public bathrooms!) This is a pay to play course ($3 dollars per player for all day, but well worth the price!) The course was perfectly marked with concrete tee pads, posts to hang your bags, and maps detailing the path to the basket. A great mix of wooded and open holes. The wooded ones were terrific with trees enough to cause difficulty, but without being impossible. Each hole was named with what I suppose was Colonial Revolutionary references (I wish the names were explained, but still a great addition!) A cool clubhouse with water and snacks, discs, markers and bags for sale and course maps and scorecards. They even had a worker from the clubhouse riding around the course on a Gator with helpful tips or directions! Really an almost perfect course and a great day out of disc golf. I only wish I lived closer, if I did I'd be here all the time. This was a day trip for Father's Day and was a perfect trip. They may be putting in bag posts an both Tee Boxes soon.

Cons:

Not much. Hole 18 was marked off with caution tape and that wasn't explained at the office, but we played around it. Hole 15 has only one tee pad, not two (Blue and White like all the others). The wooded back half is tough terrain and if it rained recently could be treacherous. Wear good shoes for hiking. The area can be buggy. Many a horsefly harassed us around the course. Careful to step too far from the course. My son sent a disc into the waist high grass and came out after gathering it with a tick attached! Bug spray is a must! Luckily the Club house offers that as well. This is all nit picking, but just want to be informative. The course is really top notch, despite the few Cons listed.

Other Thoughts:

Favorite Holes:
#4: A down hill wooded slope with the basket sitting at the edge of a steep drop off!

#5: I think this was named "Pike's Pit" A cool uphill wooded track that has you throw over a huge pit. We imagined that the Pit was caused by some Revolutionary battle. Again an explanation for the name would have been interesting, but a fun hole none the less.

#16: The one we called "The Gully" A semi wooded track that has a huge gully off to the right. It can be avoided, but of course after a bad putt my disc rolled straight into the monster! The basket set on a slope leading back into the gully. A fun hole and one of the last before leaving the woods.

Elite Virginia Course in Historic Williamsburg 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 5, 2007 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Setting, tee pads

Other Thoughts:

New Quarter disc golf course has most of the factors necessary for an exemplary disc golf experience. The course is longer than average, but not too long, has a good bit of uphill and downhill, despite its coastal setting, nice long tee pads, and is very well maintained. Overall, this course clearly belongs in the upper echelon of Virginia disc golf courses.

New Quarter is reminscent of some of the other top level courses in the region - it snakes in and out of well manicured open areas and beautiful old growth woods, like Patapsco or Seneca, it has excellent tee pads, both pro and am, and it also takes full advantage of ridgelines running down to the waterside for some fun downhill holes, a couple of real challenging uphill holes, and a couple of holes with a little of both.

The park itself is along a beautiful stretch of tidal creeks and salt marsh, but the course does not have any water obstacles or take in any expansive views. Also, while New Quarter has many fun holes for all tastes, the majority are still basically par 3, so it falls just a notch short of elite status compared to some of the other Mid-Atlantic courses. Even so, the woods holes are tough without being unreasonable, and only a couple of the holes out in the open lack some significant obstacle that make you think before you throw. The balance at New Quarter, with open and woods, up and down, is excellent. Challenging, varied, well cared for all add up to a fun disc golf course that I look forward to playing many times over the years.

Favorite Hole - #4 - Sharp downhill hole in woods, rolling down to a stream.
