Though overwhelmingly primarily a wooded course, which, of course, is not my favorite style of course, Piney Lake is at least a reasonably well designed course, offering variety of lengths, up and down elevation differentials and directional variances. It also offers several holes with water hazards, which can be quite hazardous, like the hole short shooting across a relatively narrow dam between two lakes.
There are tee signs and solid, Chainstar baskets. The course is easily navigable, once you find the first tee, which is a bit hidden away.
Though the Piney Lake Field Campus is a multi-use property, there is no discernible crossover between the course and other activities.
All in all, Piney Lake is a nice walk through the forest and around the lakes, with holes that will test the mettle of even the best, while not being disheartening or discouraging for or to lesser skilled players. The day I played with one of the curators/caretakers and a group of first time beginners, fun was generally had by all.

Though Piney Lake has been in the ground for several years, it is only recently that the curators have begun to look at really promoting the course, even to its primary target audience of UNCG students, staff and faculty, and possibly making it available for play to the general public.
One of my personal pet peeves is dirt tees, which can turn to rutted mud bogs, i.e. Barber Park, or are of insufficient space, levelness, and/or marking, i.e. Northeast Park. But these are at least signed and marked with painted markers and provide adequacy of necessity.
The hugest con, is that alongside most of the well defined fairways, is ungodly undergrowth, brush, briers, etc., as previously mentioned. The curators seemed genuinely appreciative of my input in that regard, maybe because I'm a funny, friendly old man, with 40+ years of playing experience and some design and development background, or maybe because I am an ancient alumnus of the university. Either or neither way, they appeared to appreciate the suggestion of getting some of the university's Recreation majors out there to clear the course of that menace.

As the field campus and outdoor recreation area for a state university, I can see the description of combination hippie commune/kids Summer camp. My best and biggest impression from the curators is that they are genuinely dedicated to making Piney Lake a truly good and playable disc golf course.
I'm rating Piney Lake at 2.5, which is perhaps a little higher than it presently deserves, but which is not as high as I feel certain that it will be in the near future, following some brush clearing and maybe installation of rubber mat pads. Most any course with defined and discernible fairways between 18 good baskets and signed and serviceable tee areas, with no conflictual safety issues with other activity areas is better than poor, as earlier reviewed.
