Good mix of holes-wooded, open, short, long, straight, winding.

Beautiful setting - Be one with nature!

Bugs are ferocious in the summer! Check yourself for ticks when you get home.

The field grass can get almost 2ft tall in between cuttings. Watch your step, Ive seen several snakes during play.

Not necessarily a course for beginners. Make sure you bring bug spray and lots of water. The course can take almost an hour and a half to play depending on your group size (and throwing ability).

The setting is beautiful and very private. Even on busy days with lots of players, there is so much space between holes, you're not stumbling over each other.

Accuracy is key on several wooded holes. A slightly-errant throw right or left puts you 20ft down a ravene searching for your disc.

The park staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to stop in and say hi.

Usually when visiting a part of the country with limited disc golf choices, the courses around are typically passable and nothing beyond. New Quarter is a very big exception.

NQ is equipped with Chainstar baskets which are in excellent catching condition, some with flag poles to aid in the location of those difficult-to-see positions. Tee pads for white and blue tees are concrete and in excellent condition. The pads are not long, but are sufficient. Tee signs located at white tees are in excellent condition, depicting distance, par, map and hole name for both positions.

A pole with bag hooks are located on each tee. Not necessary, but make it alot easier to locate the next tee as they are quite visible and a nice little extra.

This course has a little of everything. Open holes, wooded holes with tight lines and interesting angles. Left turns, right turns. Some elevation comes in to play on 4 or 5 holes. Some shorties and a few opportunities to air one out.

The layout of this course is beautiful. The park is very clean, dispite lack of trash cans along the way. Benches located on a few of the blue tee pads.

Navigation is not a problem. Course flows fairly well. Full color scorecards/maps available at the park office. There are also arrows on the bottom of each basket pole pointing the way to the next tee.

One of the few times I may list the $3/day fee as a pro. The funds coming in from DG seem to be put to good use, reflected by the course conditions. Office has a large selection of plastic and other accessories for sale, along with disc and bag rentals for those out-of-towners or newbies without gear. Greeter at office was very helpful and considerate, especially for not being a DGer himself. They seemed very pleased to have me out there, as I was very pleased to experience this one!

I could put that the course was boring, lacked necessities or was repetitive, but these would all be lies. A couple more benches might have been nice, but not really a problem. Bugs could be plentiful in the summer, but where on the east coast aren't they?

Alternate pin placements on a few holes that are not depicted on tee signs that can be deceiving. Maybe not so obvious on the first go around but not a problem with locals.

Overall, nothing bad to say about New Quarter.

This was my first pay-to-play experience, and I was not disappointed. Staffers that are friendly, knowledgable and hospitible. Stopped by Newport News before my round at NQ and was turned away because of a cross country meet. Got to NQ, found out there was a big 8k race on site and they kindly guided me around and allowed me and others to play. Thank you NQ!

New Quarter has a $3/day or yearly membership of $25 fee, the yearly fee I would gladly pay if I lived in the area. I look forward to visiting the area again just to play New Quarter.

Well maintained; good mix of short and long, downhill and uphill; beautiful scenery.

Short tee pads, there are a few that you can't really step behind to start because of slope. That sucks for tall people such as myself. Also, not free, that's always a con.

This is the nicest course in the hampton roads area and it's well worth fighting Virginia traffic.

This is a very good course, enjoyable play on a tough, fair course.
- Course does a great job of using natural obstacles - well placed baskets behind trees, along the edge of the woods, elevation variations, etc.
- Good variety of hole layouts. Two birdie chances to start the round, then plenty of tougher holes. I liked the tight, wooded, downhill shot on #4 followed by the tight, uphill, dogleg right on #5. Even the open holes required some strategic shots, especially #6 & 7. You'll definitely find a couple holes you really liked on this course, and also a couple you really don't care for.
- Great mix of open and wooded holes. I really liked the back-and-forth flow of open and wooded holes throughout the course. There are a couple open, followed by a couple wooded holes throughout, so you never felt like you were getting too many of one.
- Course has long & short basket placements to spice things up. I really enjoyed some of the longer basket placements, especially #10. Instead of a average, ho-hum hole, the long basket plays into the woods.
- Nice clubhouse with a huge selection of discs. Newbies can rent discs or buy ones if they choose. The guy working there was really helpful. I also liked the added touch of having cans of bug spray right outside the front door. It's the little things like that which go a long way.
- Nice detailed course map and scorecards are available.
- Low risk of losing discs for having so many wooded holes. The wooded holes aren't thick with trees, so should be able to find any errant shots.
- Great natural scenery. For the most part, course is very secluded from the rest of the park.
- Park is very clean. I don't remember seeing any trash - bottles, cans, etc. anywhere on the course. Maybe the $3 keeps the litterbugs away.

No major problems to speak of, only a couple small things.
- Course had minor flow problems on, or between, a couple holes. On #3 tee, it's hard to pinpoint which opening in the woods is the fairway. Markers/ribbons on trees would help. Between #2 & 7, the long tee pads are somewhat close, so better signage/tee marker can clear up an possible confusion. Also walk between a couple holes was slightly confusing. Again, these were minor problems.
- Baskets are metallic colored, instead of bright yellow DISCatchers, so they're hard to spot on some of the wooded holes, especially when playing on a cloudy day (like I was).
- For those who care, you don't pass any water fountains or restrooms once out on the course. It's a short walk back to the building, so it's not a real problem.
- There was little variety in shots/hole layouts from the short to long tees. Almost every hole had the long tee essentially placed right behind the short tee 50 - 150 feet back, so you didn't get different looks or angles playing one to the other.

I really enjoyed this course. To date, this is my favorite course in Virginia, and in the top 10% of all my favorites.
- It is a better version of Hornets Nest in Charlotte. Hornets Nest is my old home course, but I'm proud calling NQ a step up from HN.
- The course kept things very simple. Sometimes a well-placed basket behind one or two trees is just as difficult as one placed behind 20.
- This course had more dogleg right holes than normal courses. There are seven true dog legs (#4, 5, 9, 10, 15, 17 &18), with some being minor/gradual doglegs to extreme ones (#5).
- There were a lot of fun, well laid-out holes on this course. The back-to-back of #15 & 16 was a great stretch. #15 tees off at the edge, and over, a slight ridge to a dogleg right. #16 is a wooded hole to a basket in the bottom of a slight ravine. Both take smart shots; both have good risk/reward factor, and both have nice scenery to take in.
- I think all types of players will enjoy this course - from beginners to advanced, to those who prefer open courses to wooded-hole fans. Everyone should enjoy the variation.
- The $3 daily play/$25 year-long pass is well worth the price. Anyone living in Williamsburg is getting there money's worth for the season pass.

Nice duel concrete teepads at each hole, with excellent and informative teesigns. Multiple pin locations offer additional flexibility. Each basket has an arrow indicating the direction of the next tee. This made course navigation much easier, and a map wasn't really necessary.

Great use of elevation, present at almost every hole. Maybe the best mix of left/right, open/wooded and long/short holes I've seen, it has basically every type of hole one can think of.

On site pro shop, with disc/equipment for sale, score card and map available as well as clean bathrooms.

Well maintained, the grass and surrounding areas are very nice. The nice Irish gentleman at the Park Office is very helpful directing you to the course for first timers.

Very little to complain about here. I felt that the teepads were a little too short for my liking, and where only noticeable on the longer holes.

You have to pay $3/day or $25/annually. If this was my home course, I would have no issues paying the annual fee. My home course is in a state park that charges an entrance fee, that is more per year than $25. I've also paid over $7 to play a crappy 9 hole course for one round, so this is a bargain.

This is a very beautiful family park, that has plenty of other things for the family to do while you are out playing around or two.

Conveniently located not too far off of I64, stop by, it's well worth it.

Everything. Course is located in a really nice park. $3 fee to play, but it is worth it. Great place to bring the family. Nice playground, trails, Volleyball. Good clean bathrooms. The office has a large selection of Innova discs, drinks and snacks.

Long and short tee pads on every hole except #15. Pads were all concrete and good sized. Signs at the short pads showed distances and hole layouts. Course was fairly easy to navigate. Scorecards and maps at the office help. Great variety. There was never a time when I felt anything was repetitive. There were some uphills, downhills, rights and lefts. Course layout uses everything that is available. Basket positions added to the challenge of the course. Every hole had a line to hit, and made sense. No holes that were gimicky or squeezed in. If you like to aire it out there are holes for you. If you like to shape lines in the woods there are holes for you.

None. I could nitpick and whine about no water hazards, baskets on boulders or man-made hills, or the fact that this course doesn't have beautiful mountain views. But I won't. It's a great course, built in the woods in Williamsburg. Everything that was available was used well.

Not much elevation on the holes with hills, but what there is gets used. Some of the baskets were in alternate and longer positions. It added some length and challenge compared to where the baskets were normally located. #4 is a nice downhill tunnel shot into the woods. #5 goes uphill and bends around to the right. Nice hole. #10 stands out as an excellent hole. It's about 300' from the long tee and ends up down in the woods. When the basket is in an alternate position like it was today it's even longer. The basket is hidden down in the woods with lots of trees to keep you from an easy layup. #16 is also a really good hole. Through the woods and ending up to the left behind some more trees. Fun, challenging and fair.

#18 lets you finish by throwing a bomb. It's about 600' of open field ending up with a tunnel into the woods for the last 100' or so. A great way to finish.

Go to Williamsburg. You will not be disappointed.

Top notch course with excellent use of natural obstacles, elevation changes, extremely challenging terrain, and boomer shots. This is th ebest course in the Greater Hampton Roads area and is a must-play for any aspiring player.
The obstacles are "fair" in that they can be circumvented with the right throw -- i.e., they're not freaking impossible and downright stupid like you see on some courses.
Great workout walking up and down hills, in and out of forest.
The rough/brush is certainly challenging, but your disc is at least recoverable/"findable," so you don't have to worry about losing a disc in some impregnable swamp.
Extra challenging for RHBH players due to predominantly right-benders in the course -- have you anhyzer ready!
Hole 18 is freaking awesome (600+ feet!) and you will feel it later in the day.
This course rewards players who have more than one kind of throw in their bags.
The Pro Shop is impressive and the best in the area.
$3 per person includes scorecard and mini-pencils.
New Quarter Park is HUGE. Bring refreshments.

First timers -- print out the map! Finding the next hole can be very tricky sometimes, so the map is a lifesaver.
Although most wood/forest obstacles are "fair," some are not and require a one-in-a-thousand shot.
Not necessarily a Con, but the baskets are way out of site of several of the holes, so it's bad news for first timers.

Definitely the best course in the area

Beautiful Course. This is what a disc golf course should look like. If you are a boomer you will love this course. But you can still three par most of the holes even if you are not. If you are playing the course for the first time I suggest that you walk up and look at eighteen before you throw. the sign doesn't do the basket area justice. The park staff is friendly. Good selection of plastic.

If you play here in the spring summer and fall bring the bug repelent. The chiggers are something awful. mosquitos mostly a problem in the spring and early sumer.

Yeah they charge 3 dollars. So what. I would pay twice that much to play this course. Make sure you have your walking shoes on when you go up there.it is a long course.

Where to begin?
Pro shop with good selection of discs, scorecards with course map, bags, snacks and drinks, and friendly staff.
Big open fields for driving practice and practice basket for putting.
Concrete tee pads and two sets of tees.
Great mix of wide open holes and tight woods holes, so you'll need a variety of shots and skills.
Civil War earthworks on or near several holes.
Some nice marsh views.

$3 per day to play, or $25 for an annual pass. But it's a small price to pay for such a great park and course, so this really isn't a complaint.
Bugs in the summer. From about April through October I usually find ticks, and all summer and into fall there are often chiggers. Wear long pants, closed shoes, and use bug spray and you'll be fine.

This is where I first played disc golf and it's very close to home, so I'm pretty spoiled to have New Quarter Park as my home course.
There's also a very good mountain bike trail here. I found out about disc golf by seeing the course when I ride here.
There's a pro tournament here at least annually, and there are usually open tournaments monthly on Sundays.
I'd give the course itself a 4, but I bumped up the rating to 4.5 due to the great park facilities described above which makes the whole experience of New Quarter Park great.
From about late fall through the end of April the park is only open on weekends and maybe Fridays. So if you want to play while the park is closed you'll have to park at the small lot at the closed park gates and walk (or ride a bike) about half a mile down the park road to the first tee. I don't know the park's policy on playing the course while the park is closed, so try this at your own risk of getting caught. While the park is open just drive all the way to the end of the park road, check in at the small brick building to get a scorecard, and the map on the scorecard will show you where to go.

Awesome layout. Great Views and well worth the drive and 3 bucks.

Hole 18 is a long one and tucked off the fairway on the right about the size of a parking spot

The shop also has disc fairly priced in all plastics.

The woods holes are top shelf, including the ones that enter and exit the forest. Beautiful old growth trees, nice contours and some elevation (rare in eastern VA) thrown in for good measure. Nice mix of long and short holes in a clean, well maintained park. #3 is a nice huck across a field before entering the woods, make sure you spot the basket before you drive here as you really want to be 'in the slot' to have a good approach. Nice mix of technical woods and open air holes. The a stretch of woods holes in the middle of the back nine are classic, big trees define tight but fair fairways that roll up and down over a good sized ravine. Save some arm for #18, you'll need it.

They sell a nice selection of discs in the Park Office. The folks working there are friendly and a couple of them are golfers. They even keep some bug spray there for your use if you forgot yours. Picked up a sweet Wraith there with a NQ stamp.

Course tends to favor the classic lefty lines. Seems like there are 3 or 4 indentical 200-220 right fades with woods on the right. Could benefit with some better signage, gets a little hard to follow around 8-10. Fair length walk from the parking lot to #1 and #18

I dearly love this course. Along with Walnut Branch is one of the best public courses in VA. Bring water, especially in the summer, it's a hike

Lots of variables. Open holes, wooded holes, uphill, downhill, up and over hills, long holes. This course has it all and is beautiful to play.

Played once in the summer and it was way too hot, muggy, and the bugs were ferociouse. I'll stick to winter play at this course.

This course is layed out great. Nestled in historic Colonial Williamsburgh the beauty of this course will take you away. I love the way the holes role in and out of the woods.

I need to start out by saying that this review is being completely redone. New Quarter was one of the first courses I played and I judged it poorly because of the lack of experience. I have now played many more courses and have gained a lot more experience and knowledge in which to judge this course.

This course is well maintained, picturesque, and tough.

There are wonderful picnic sites, a pro shop, bathrooms, playgrounds, fitness trails,and several other amenities. Bring the family here for the day. There is so much to do. It has plenty of parking.

I found it to be well laid out with a nice natural flow and progression. There is a lot of elevation change, technical and bomb shots, and even an ace run or two. It does not favor left or right handed throwers.

The tees are concrete and there is a sign for each basket. Also a post to hang your bag off of the ground. The fairways are tough but well maintained and the baskets are in excellent shape.

No criss-crossing fairways.

The course map is a good one. But because it is gaining in popularity the walking paths are getting more pronounced.

You will use every shot you have here.That is said of many courses but is is really true here.

Hole 1) A straight or annie will work well here. The trees do protect it but it is a nice basket to begin with. The annie works good for me.

2) A straight throw with a hard right to left at the end. If you get behind the last bunch of trees they are hard to get through.

3) It is a straight throw and the last 80 feet are a narrow opening in the woods. Don't get into the trees on the right or you will find yourself with a 5 or 6 here.

4) A tight downhill straight fairway. Can be aced from the white.

5) Commonly thought of as the meanest basket here. There is no cutting across. The first 100 feet are flat but then it starts an uphill grade around to the basket. Which is also protected by a huge fallen tree.

6) A long gently turning left to right along the trees. With the basket tucked into a hollow at the bottom of a hill.

7) My favorite basket. It is tucked into the trees about 100 feet. but can be birdied with a real good drive that hyzers hard (RHBH) at the end into the trees.

8) Nice hole that gives a choice of a left or right fairway. But the basket is behind a big split tree so a hard but short break at the end of the flight is good.

9) Another tight but doable fairway.

10) A straight throw that needs a hard left to right break at the end.It is thrown along the trees and if you get in there your score is going to be high.

11) You can go left or right here but the left is more forgiving. On the right is the heavy underbrush again which again is going to cause extra throws.

12) Straight up and over the hill. If you do not get over the hill and it rolls it will roll along way.

13) A tight shot out on to an open area with a hard right to left at the end of the throw. You can sneak it through the trees but it is high reward and high risk.

14) A nice straight throw but you better not get into the trees.

15) High risk and high reward. If you can get it through its a birdie. If not then you have your work cut out for you. Better hope it doesn't roll down to the right.

16) Through the trees in front of you then a break to the left. Tougher than it looks.

17) Not a tough throw but still very unforgiving if you get into the tree line on the right. This is a great basket for a gentle annie (RHBH).

18) The signature basket. It is a long drive then a long up shot with the basket about 100 feet into the trees. The opening in the trees is doable but you will add extra throws if you don't hit the opening.

Not many.... The shule is rough and will eat discs. Especially along the tree line. Chiggers can be bad here. Get a good spray and you will be okay. Not beginner friendly unless you have an experienced player with you. Get a few rounds and some basic understanding of the game and you can begin to understand how good this course is. Could use some "too the next tee signs",
Very few benches.

This is a great course but not for the faint of heart. It is best to have someone who knows it go with you the first time to help you find your disc and pass along a good way to throw the hole. If you do play by yourself play to not go into the fringe shule.

This came close to a 5 but the shule is just to rough and some additional signs at both white and blue teepads would be nice along with some benches. The bug problem is not a reason to downgrade most all courses have that problem.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
