Great shade on the front part of the course and lots of pledges to seek shade once you're out of the trees. Scenic view on the lake shore. Back half opens up. Great hole placement made it fun and challenging.

Needs mowed at the moment. I would guess from the cut and the current heights of the fairways, it's probably on the schedule soon.

Northshore DGC sits very close to Lake Fayetteville and a few of the holes have a beautiful look at the lake.

The course has quite a bit of variety in it from playing through the trees on about half of the holes to being more open on the other half. Even the open holes have enough obstacles that it is not incredibly open. I believe it was hole 10 that threw from up on a hill and threw into a group of trees that guarded the basket. The wooded holes were all fair and a line was visible from the tee.

The signature hole with pine trees going down each side was one to remember. I happened to catch up to a group of locals on this hole that were just bombing it down there like they play it every day. It is a tight throw and you need to have a gentle S curve to get it the ~400' down the fairway

The course was in overall good condition. Most tees had tee signs. The baskets were in good condition. The concrete tee pads were adequate, and navigation was no issue at all and where it was a bit tricky, there were signs pointing you in the right direction.

I played on a sub-freezing day and there were several groups out and about. I can only imagine when the weather is nice what the course looks like in terms of how many people are playing.

The course map listed here on DGCR is out of date. I am not sure when the course changed, but be aware.

I probably played the course at the perfect time of year. Though I could see the course being muddy near the lake when it rains or the lake overflows, and I could also see that the course could get overgrown especially on the more open holes during the growing season. I could also see the more wooded holes lose their fair lines with vegetation.

I really had a fun time on this course. It was my first exposure to real courses in the Northwest Arkansas area, and I was happy to have played it.

It is not a super tough course, shooting >54 should be no problem for an intermediate level player, but it does have some challenge on a few of its holes. I would highly recommend playing this course to anyone in the area, just be wary of the course conditions based on the time of year and the amount of rain that has happened.

Open Course to throw a few bombs
wooded holes for accuracy
Lake and ravines in play
get to practice all shots
wind makes course change

easy to lose discs Holes 1-3, 5
lake comes into play on front 5 holes and deep brush and inlet
wind makes course very tough
Map needs updating as current map is not correct

#1 on map is gone and #2 is starting hole
Will play again while in area, but requires all the shots, but fun and more open than most.
#6 is a tight drive thru trees, if you try and go over might be having to climb a tree to retrieve trees
#5 is a tight drive with deep brush on left and lake on right, requires accuracy, that I do not have

Absolutely beautiful park. Holes are fun, challenging, and each one is different. This course has done what so many new courses are failing to do, and that is incorporate all parts of a good game. It has distance, technical shots, lefty and righty, back hand and flicks, some water and OB, and all the while the course is still a blast. Secluded and laid back but also family friendly.

Definitely an issue with signs. Being a college town I imagine that the signs are constantly vandalized, but it still makes it tough to navigate if you aren't a local. It is by FAR the best course in North West Arkansas (no other course comes even close) so on a beautiful day there is very little parking and the course can get crowded. The bike/jogging trail runs right through some parts of the course and fairway so you have to be careful if you have a long throw because people can get hit.

The things this course lack almost don't matter because of everything it does correct. Like I stated earlier, so many courses are one sided... either long or technical. This course did both beautifully.

The course makes excellent use of the land by the lake.
Each hole is different.
Hole 7 is great.
Hole 10 is great.
Hole 15 has major ace potential.
Makes great use of what little elevation it has to offer.
Well maintained.
Great baskets.
Benches
Trash cans.
Bathrooms.
Concrete tee pads.

Could use some signs to make it a little more non local friendly.
Parking is limited.

This is one of my favorite courses.

Variety- wooded, open, long, short, straight, right to left, left to right. No two holes felt the same.

Good use of lake- pin locations on holes with water make you think twice about going for it... but of course you end up going for it because you didn't come to play for pars.

Most holes are fair and offer a line. The only ones that I didn't have a fair line were 1 and 12, but I didn't play with a local, so maybe one exists.

Benches- cool hand made benches on most holes for when you are playing behind an eight some (actually happened to me here.)

Poles with hooks for your bag to keep them off the muddy ground.

Simple navigation for the most part. I will say that the map on listed here is outdated though.

Extremely muddy- If you are able to, wear boots and bring a towel. I can't overstate the importance of a towel on this course. Your discs will definitely get wet and muddy.

Signage- Some holes have a distance marked on them that seemed to be reasonably accurate, but no signs at all on 15-18. If the signs included a layout of the hole, that would help a lot for those new to the course. On 13, I thought I was safe in some brush and actually ended up in the lake. No idea that there was water near the basket. (I guess I could have looked at a map beforehand)

Lots of great holes here, but a few stand out.

5- Short RHFH hole with the basket about 20 feet away from water.

6- have to hit a gap about 150 feet ahead and keep it straight for a basket behind a tree.

7- long straight fairway lined neatly with trees and growth on both sides.

10- short downhill throw with water about 30 feet past the basket.

13- short with a double mando forcing a left to right throw with water all around the basket... Could be one of the easier holes on the course, but somehow I ended up bogeying both times played. Don't let the distance trick you!

The mud and signs are really the only big cons out here. If you are able to count those two out, you will really enjoy this course! Definitely should play if you are in the area and even go out of your way if anywhere near!

Varius types of holes,beutiful veiw. Most sundays they have a mini going on out their that is pretty fun the comunnity keeps it a clean and well mannered course

muddy,challenging

One of my favorite courses in north west Arkansas

- Right by the lake and the views are incredible
- Nice open and defined fairways on most holes
- Very nice Innova Discatcher pro baskets
- Concrete teepads in great condition
- Friendly locals who allow me to play through
- Ok tee signs have distances on most signs
- A few ace oppurtunities
- Lots of different challenges throughout the course (some wide open, very technical wooded shots, tunnel shots, etc.) Lots of variety and different forms of difficulty.
- Pretty easy to get to.
- Navigation is easy in the couse becasue there are lots of signs showing the direction of the next tee.

- On a few holes, you may have to wait for pedestrians to move along before throwing such as hole 9 because there is a concrete walking trail that is always busy.
- Since this course is one of the best around, it is the busyest around. If you are under time constraints, this may not be the place to play. Most locals will let you play through but never in the 20+ times ive played this course have i ever been able to be finished in less than an hour.
- A few holes are easy to lose a disc in especially in the summertime where the vegitation is great.
- I wish there was a little bit of elevation
- Course doesnt drain well from rain at all. If youre going to play after rainfall, be prepared for a very muddy course.

This is really a nice course. It has a nice mix of different types of holes and it is pretty challenging. The reason im giving this course a 4 is because it really is an all around great course and it is always fun to play. If you are in the area, you should play this course.

Challenging. A few shots have to weave through trees or squeeze through a narrow opening.
Very well maintained. Fairway is moved down. Tees are concrete. Baskets are very well preserved.
Course is over all pretty well spread out and has a lot of variety.
People are generally friendly.

Possibility of losing discs.

Every type of hole you could ask for. There are tight wooded shots, lightly wooded, Wide open field, long narrow hallway of trees. Good tee boxes, Nice Pins, Mostly dedicated to Disc Golfers. Very Pretty

On a few holes you have to wait for joggers as its a shared park and the jogging trail literally cuts in front of tee boxes and down the side of a few fairways. There are no benches, doesn't bother me but to some it might.

Overall this course is great fun to play! Its technical. There are very tight tree tee offs as well as wide open shots.. Hole 7 is a tee off down a straight corridor of huge pine trees! After playing a good number of top quality courses I realize how awesome this course is.

This course has a nice variety of holes. There is a nice balance of open holes and wooded holes. The holes that are wooded and right along the lake are beautiful. The lake really doesn't come into play, but a really errant shot could find its way there. The paths in the wooded holes are very well defined and make that part of the navigation not that difficult. #12 is a heavily wooded hole that has 2 pin locations and they actually had a basket for each. The long location was a really nice difficult navigating route. #7 is a nice long tunnel shot that was also quite fun to tee off on. One hole even has a high route over trees, along way around them, or a small window you can try to throw through. Some of the wide-open holes have a tree or some simple obstacle to continue it being a challenge. Like I said, this course has some great variety. It has a real bathroom, trashcans, and good parking.

Navigation is a bit rough. Grab a guide or hook up with someone. Any map posted on this site before 2010 is no good for this course as the course has been updated since then. I hate repeating things, but the tee pads are horrible. Some of the pads are at their worst when they are with tree roots; not that the dirt ruts are much better. The tee signs are out dated and inaccurate. This park is also very busy with non-players. This park seems to have the need to be mowed a little more often than it is.

The Fun Factor was really good here. There were a few holes that had little to offer, but many of the other holes made up for them. I would certainly like to come back here and play this course again. It was a real treat and even though the layout was confusing the first time, it is still fun to play. The lake is gorgeous and vegetation is really cool. It is worth a little road trip.

BTW, I just got a note from the president of NWADGC. He said that they will be getting concrete tee pads VERY soon (maybe next week). That is so exciting!

I Love this course it is fun to play and close to everything in Fayetteville. Great shade about half of the course. Most of the time their is now wind. Get a lot of players so you can find someone to show you around if you are new. Concrete are a new addition also new tee sign are comeing.

Sometime it gets thick with brush and some holes stay kinda of muddy. Walkers and joggers get in the way sometimes.

Needs more group info post on the board for activities. If you need a guide I am always up for a game. If you need more information jump on NWADGC.com there is a MAP of the holes.
BE A POSITIVE REVIEWER

Everything about this course is pretty much wonderful. I like the variation of angles you have for the tee shots, because the disc catchers are very strategically placed. Beautiful scenery helps add to this courses rating.

Like the other reviews on this course, it would be nice to concrete the tee boxes. The mud was somewhat of a factor.

I look forward to every chance i get now to play at Northshore.

Great course in a well kept park on the north bank of Lake Fayetteville. Good variation of shots, open, tunnel, heavily wooded, short, long, water could be a problem on windy days but shouldnt be too big of a deal. Lots of pedestrians walking and biking around, keep an eye out and you will have no problems. Easy to get around with next tee signs located after every basket pointing the way. Noticed a few trash bins along the way looks like it helps with keeping the park tidy. The lake looks clean enough to get in if you throw one in it.

Can get very muddy when it is wet because of the dirt tee pads. Course map isnt exactly what the course is like but I used it and got around fine good for refrence I guess.

Concrete tee pads would do this place wonders for sure. Ill go back in the summer time and maybe change my review when everything is green.

When I played the course it was a beautiful summer day and the park was in very nice shape. About 2/3 of the holes are in the woods, several requiring you to hit very tight lines, and 1/3 are out in the open. The overall distance of the course is relatively short, but the challenging lines and holes can make up for this in regards to scoring. Some things that I liked a lot about this course were the shot variety (righties and lefties should be pretty equally challenged), the pretty setting with the lake surrounded by wooded hills along the side of the course, and the baskets were high quality preventing most spit outs. I went up for a tournament and had a great time.

The biggest negatives that I noticed were the tee boxes and tee signs. The boxes are dirt (therefore, the boxes were mud) and some were dug out a bit so that they held water. The signs were inconsistent on telling the distance. Maybe half the time they told you how many feet away you were and half the time they just said what hole number it was. Another potential negative about the course is that it could be tricky to find your way around the first time out there. Several times the course criss crosses itself and the next tee that you are supposed to play isn't the closest tee to you. The setup also led to some waiting as people on other holes could be teeing off in your throw zone. As others previous to me mentioned, I can also see how this could potentially be a sloppy course (mud and water wise), although when I played it was in very good shape some tee boxes excluded.

The course has some very fun holes. The long straight drive going towards the lake on 7 really is a pretty hole. Hole 12 is a beast with some wicked lines to try to hit especially in the long position. Hole 16 is a slightly downhill open 400 footer that makes for a fun drive since it is so reachable even for arms that usually wouldn't be able to put it that far. I greatly enjoyed myself playing Northshore, and I can't wait for another good excuse to get up there.
