Reviewed: Played on:Aug 4, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course uses the land well. It feels more natural than just cutting down a bunch of trees to make a fairway. I felt the course was fair, but they mixed in some challenging holes as well. Part of the reason why I think this course is fair is because you don't need to be able to throw four hundred feet or more to do well. In fact, the majority of the holes are around three hundred feet or less, and even when they get to the four hundreds, the par changes to a 4.

Cons:

The front 9 were nicer than expected but the back 9 were a little disappointing, half of the back 9 that is. The course uses the wide open field well, but it is still a field. Wide open shots can get boring, but this course makes the best of it. Some of the back 9 tee signs were faded out and hard to read, some were even illegible. This made for somewhat difficult navigation in the open field.

Other Thoughts:

I felt the holes could get narrow, but it wasn't like you needed to be a professional to get through them. The majority of the course was very forgiving and if you got a shot in the rough, you felt you would easily be able to find your disc and make a recovery shot. Some holes, like 6, could be a pain to retrieve a disc if you make a bad throw. I would also recommend to take caution on the wooden bridge on hole 6 as it is very rickety and does not feel safe. There is a small fence on the right side near the hole of hole 15 that you can not get over. This will make retrieving a disc from there practically impossible. As an effort to help fellow disc golfers I have taken photos of the course and will be uploading them soon so you can get a better feel for it before going.

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 28, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice mix of wooded and open holes.
White and Blue tees create two very different experiences. White layout is short but still technical and appropriate for all skill levels.
Blue layout is appropriate for advanced and pro level players.
Multiple shots available on most holes.
Next tee signs both on baskets and nice wood signs on trees.
Tee signs with maps on front nine and in the works for the back nine.
Concrete tees for all white tees and majority of blue tees. Also still in the works.

Cons:

Wood privacy fence defining side of fairway for 2 and 13 prevents easy retrieval of discs thrown OB.
The recent redesign means that areas cut through the woods are still a little rough, but are being worn in over time.

Other Thoughts:

This course was redesigned by the local club recently. A 2 time world champ recently praised the redesign as well designed and executed. Tee signs and concrete tee pads are being installed on a regular basis, but are not complete.

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 15, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This park has everything bathrooms, water fountains, even some water front. The course has a little bit of everything. It has some challenging holes with dog legs, as well as a couple easier straighter shots that give a confidence boost in out game when needed. The rough isn't teribly ungroomed here so finding a disk isn't impolsible.

Cons:

Needs more signage and tee pads I've read that this course is still under construction so I'm sure that will change

Other Thoughts:

We've only played three courses this one was right in the middle of the three in turn making it my favorite. Castle Hayne was pretty hard on us and Richlands steed park was a little easier. This is my home town park and I truly love it!
