Everyday Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 6, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-requires a variety of different shots
-easy to navigate
-locals are good about returning lost discs

Cons:

-hole 10 is a swamp all year long and it is very easy to lose a disc in the high grass
-every time they put up new tee signs, they are gone within the next week or two every time
-tee pads are pretty short

Other Thoughts:

me and my friends play this course 3-4 times a week on average after school. it is a great course to practice all kinds of shots, and provides some good challenges. There is a good variety of long and short holes, as well as wooded and open shots. Its a great course for beginners along with experienced players needing a confidence boost.

Pros:

Good mix of open and wooded holes.
Great use of large treetops for a couple tunnel ideas. (12 and 16)
Interesting hole layouts with long and short shots.
Forgiving pars for newer players.
Bathrooms and vending machines there that the course kinda centers itself around.

Cons:

This course has heavy non disc golf foot traffic.
Holes 5, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18 all contend with other people using the park (mostly soccer games).
Disc theives wait under the hill at hole 9, they usually can't speak english (latino) and will NOT stop running.
This course gets sopping wet in the rain and doesn't dry up very well. VERY muddy at times.

Other Thoughts:

Hole 2 is the most challenging birdie on the course.
Couple bombs that are very scenic!
Great course.

North Asheboro DGC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 11, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a very solid course as it has nearly every shot and gives you a different look on each hole. This is my home course so I play it quite often and still can't seem to have that perfect round of scoring. There is a great balance of wooded and open holes as well. There is plenty of shade within the course which makes for a very scenic round.

Cons:

You might run into some hispanic soccer games in the fairways of 9, 10, and 11 but typically they'll pause while you throw over. #1 is annoying because you won't really be able to see the basket unless you know where you are looking.

Other Thoughts:

This course can beat you up, or you can have great round, sometimes in the same day. # 2 plays to be the hardest hole on the course, and rightfully so, it plays as an uphill narrow anhyzer, or right hand flick, it's a strange window that is not always easy to hit.
# 9 is also a very challenging hole with a set of trees shaped like a crescent moon guarding the basket.
Be smart on # 10 if you can throw a 300' RHBH hyzer shot then you should be fine going over the junk, but if you're not confident then don't throw there because it'll be a miracle to find your disc.
# 11 plays shorter than it looks so make sure not to throw it too far past because you'll be in the creek.
#13 is tough to make a 2 on but I don't seem to have trouble ever getting a 3, you can go either backhand or flick but neither one is a walk in the park.
#14 has a really good hyzer line that most people don't see the first few times but be smart to not overthrow that shot.
# 8 and # 15 are most likely the holes that you will see the least amount of 2's on.
You should be able to finish the course with 3 birdie's but the window's for 16 and 17 are much smaller now with the leaves hanging down.
Sometimes I love this course, sometimes I hate it, no matter what though I will respect it.
As a last note there is not a hole on the course that I haven't 2'd or seen 2'd. The main thing is to go out there have some fun and throw enough good shots to keep you coming back.

A fun, unbusy course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 26, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course had lots of variety. The front 9 are almost all heavily wooded with "interesting" pin locations. The back nine are much more open, but still have obstacle,low branch, trees around the pin to keep things interesting.

The course isn't very populated so you can really take your time. I also found it to be one of the more scenic courses in the area.

Cons:

As I alluded to earlier, some of the necessary lines on the front nine are a little unrealistic, at least in contrast to the difficulty of the remaining course. Some of the baskets on the back nine have the holes surrounded by trees. No one is going to be able to get it between a chosen 2 foot gap from 300ft so it seems like a cheap way to make things difficult. It ruins your chance at an ace.

Other Thoughts:

If you go right on hole 10, you will end up in a massive swamp. DON'T DO THIS.

A very good course with very little to improve 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 23, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is a real pleasure to play. Overall I'd say that it's very good and lots of fun, but it just lacks any stellar qualities. It's got one set of tees and one basket position. The fairways are very good with lots of shape variety (4 St/ 6 Lt/ 7 R/ 1 S). There's very well balanced elevation variety (2 Flat/ 8 Up/ 8 D), but the biggest elev. change is only 15 ft. There is very nice terrain with good variety (9 Woods/ 9 Mixed). I really liked the old hard woods and pines mixed with well manicured grass on some holes; holes 12-17 are in a nice arboretum. I thought the front nine holes were a little better than the back nine, but I tend to like wooded holes more than open shots. Almost all of the holes are good, and some are quite good, but none really make you say, "Wow!". The tee signs were good, but basic. The concrete tees were fine but a little short. I loved the Mach V baskets, and one of the best touches is that each hole has a large round number elevated by a pole for extra visibility. It was easy to navigate with helpful directional markers. It's also got all of the amenities covered-- a very good warm up basket; an online map that's adequate, if basic; a message board with a large map; restrooms; score cards online (but the pars are very questionable); some park trash cans.

Cons:

One of the really positive aspects of this course is that there are no serious flaws. There's really very little that needs to be improved here.
Hole 17 is a short, open, lackluster hole.
There are a few potential safety issues that might arise during tournaments if there are lots of people there.

Other Thoughts:

Course Level: White (most suited for Intermediate players rated 875-925.) It's short for White level players, though, so that makes it easier to score lower. This makes it fun for shorter throwing players (like me).

Course Difficulty: 5 (out of 10)

You be the judge-
If there was a second set of longer tees I'd bump the rating up.
The hole lengths are rather weighted toward holes in the 200-299 ft range (2<199/ 11 of 200-299/ 5 of 300-360).

This course is certainly worth a visit. If it was closer to me I'd play it often.

Easily in my Favorites 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 6, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

I loved this course. It reminds me a lot of OT Sloan (course near me), except that it has elevation and more wide open holes. The baskets were DGA New II Baskets. They had poles extending from the top with number plates attached. This made the baskets easier to spot. The course included a practice basket near the first tee. There was a large information board with rules, a course map, and distance /par for each hole. The tees were 3ft X 6ft raised concrete surrounded by gravel. There were signs at the tee with par and distance on them, but not a map. The course equipment had a very professional appearance. The course was beautifully maintained with restrooms, shelters, and other amenities (swimming pool, tennis courts, ball field). The first 9 holes were wooded and most of the remaining holes were out in the open with trees protecting baskets and providing obstacles to navigate.
Hole# 2 was a nice anhyzer shot to a basket tucked slightly off to the right, but the next hole required a much harder anhyzer turn than the previous hole. The 4th hole was an uphill shot to a strategically placed basket. The 5th hole was bordered by the tennis courts on the left and thick wood line to the right. The basket was tucked to the right at the end of the wood line. This was the most open hole on the front 9. The 7th hole was a straight shot towards the basket 188ft away. The alley way towards the pin was very tight but gave alleys to attack the basket with your putter. The 9th hole was a wonderful hole. The tee is on one end of a hill with a two trees forming a field goal at the other end. Once your drive bursts through the field goal, it finds a meadow at the bottom of the hill. The basket is surrounded by a cresent shaped grove of trees that shield it from the drive. The back 9 is weaved through a meadow with trees and a creek that winds through it. The 13th hole was an uphill shot with many trees between the tee and basket. There are both hyzer and anhyzer paths to the basket, but you need to be accurate to weave through obstacles. The 14th hole has a hard anhyzer path that appears to be the intended route, but there is the possibility of going right to left over a road that moves through the park. The 15th hole gives a nice s-shaped flight to the basket that is tucked slightly to the left. The 17th hole is an easy 172ft shot that really has no obstacle to the basket. There is a small tree that can easily be avoided. The 18th hole is over the creek with trees strategically blocking a straight flight attack.

Cons:

There are only five holes over 300ft, but what this course lacks in length is compensated by character. The tee signs could have added maps, but the baskets are visible enough that they really aren't necessary. Most of the transitions from green to tee are easy to follow as they are relatively close to each other, but the transition from #4 and #5 is a little tricky. The 5th tee is on the corner of the tennis courts near the wood line. I have only one real complaint. I prefer larger tees, but they were large enough for most holes. The real problem comes from the gravel surrounding these tees. It ends up on top of the tee and filling in the rough finish. This can cause a slippery situation if you aren't careful. I found myself pulling up short on my drives because of the uncertainty of my footing.

Other Thoughts:

This course has every type of shot represented. It is the type of course that I would travel the 3hrs back to play again and again. It doesn't have 700ft holes or shots over large bodies of water, but it is fun. If you haven't played it, then do. If you have played it, then do it again.
