I travel and was advised to throw this course. Loved this course. Reminds me of the good ol' days when the fairways zig zagged through the trees and did not pander to young long arms. I found it easy to score well, as long as I didn't hit a tree. I used to have a 20 hole object course on our farm and the main feature was a ravine that was used in the design. Reminded me and friends of my 'Basecamp' course. Fun, though strenuous, and I will look forward to playing it again some day

Some of the same complaints that have been observed over and over and over for years: pretty bad tees in multiple stages of decay, stairs in bad repair, and no 'next tee' signs. The UDisc map helped me pick which of the several paths that radiated from the baskets to take to find the next sad-state tee. I deduct a full letter grade if there are any wild rose bushes, green briar and blackberry bushes on a course and there were enough on this course to get downgraded. Yes, poison ivy is inconvenient but it won't rip, gouge and tear.

If you can't have next tee signs you can wrap bright electric tape on the rung of the previous basket that points to the next tee. Paint works as well. Why can't courses have these? How hard is it? How expensive? Is there a tampering issue? I don't carry my phone in my pocket when I throw so I had to stop, unzip my bag and pull out my phone to find the next tee. Kind of interfered with the flow. Tee #1 fooled me into thinking all the tees were this wonderful. I suspect it was an ADA tee. How many years have people been complaining and using the same Cons comments? I have no idea of the politics of the club and parks department. I have no idea of the state of the club but it is apparent someone doesn't care about this course. Does anyone read the reviews? For too short of a time (had to move) I was custodian of a course and we had a group that reviewed a list of upkeep needs. We prioritized what needed to be done and then addressed it. Also, those who might read my other reviews will know I cannot believe any course pro or club would allow wild rose bushes, green briar or any other thorny plants to be on a course. That is a pure and simple safety hazard that is the easiest problem to correct. Doesn't cost any $ to trim and drag away. I won't and can't do it because it isn't 'my' course. I think someone, in a review, asked why there are no major tourneys here (?) and I think the answer is obvious. It is shameful that such a great course suffers from so much neglect.

1. Plenty of shot shaping, elevation, and challenging holes incorporated into a good design.
2. Multiple basket locations. The course appeared to be laid out in the short basket locations during my visit.
3. Turf tee pads that were very level.
4. Nice parking lot with port-a-potties available.
5. Two 9 hole loops that end at the parking lot.

1. Hardly any signage left on this course. No markers showing current pin placement location and no next tee signs. The Udisc map saved me from walking down the wrong paths.
2. Very overgrown. Maintenance seems to have lacked here for a couple of years. Several paths I could not even stand straight up they were so overgrown.
3. Out of control erosion everywhere. This course could use a break to let the land heal.

I chose to play this course due to it's high rating and proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I felt like with a year's worth of maintenance and signage upgrades, it could live up to it's championship course reputation with baskets placed in long positions. I loved the design, but damn I had to search for my disc a lot after great shots. Even lost a disc on a hole I nearly aced.

This course appears to remain very popular with about 20 players showing up after I was finished.

The front Nine were very fun, and had variety. 6th basket is over 10 ft high from the back and has a small step up to the front nicely designed. Each of the front 9 seems to be well thought out and are very enjoyable. 1-9 start and loop back to the lot and 10-18 do the same. bathrooms for players is a nice plus, and the parking is ample. Good elevation changes.

I was not impressed with the back 9 much at all. its just weaving back and forth acrosss the very large ravine. Two shots like this would have been plenty, but 4 or 5 of them doing the exact same thing got old quickly. Especially if you have some shots that dont go your way. You can end up in a big struggle to get back on track. We played in late winter conditions so vegetation was down. I can imagine it to be much worse in the other seasons

If you find yourself in Asheville, a wonderful town, definitely give Richmond Hills a go, but I would probably play 10-18 first because it can sap your strength if you aren't ready for it. I wouldn't travel more than an hour to play this course as the primary stop on my Disc Golfing road trip.

It has some nice and long holes. Good mix of downhill, uphill and flat. I think it's good for both beginners and experts. It's a good, hard course that will definitely help anyone and everyone's skills. Always see people there practicing and playing.

Not enough mix of wooded to unwooded. Sorta hard to find the tees from the hole sometimes. Going back and forth from one hill to the other on like 13-16 was sorta rough. Some places are very heavily wooded and finding a frisbee in those places can be very difficult.

I like it. I havnt really been to much in the area yet but I like it so far!

Supreme edge to those who can drive with accuracy. Good tee boxes. Easy to navigate. Underbrush is beat down well. Porta toilets at the parking lot are greatly appreciated with how far this is from a public bathroom. Friendly local players.

The grand canyon ravine. A good half of the holes go back and forth over this enormous ditch, 200ft across and 100ft deep. If your drive hits anything on these holes, or doesn't get a solid landing on the other side, you will be dead in the bottom of this ravine. This also takes a lot of energy to navigate up and down, and to make heavy uphill throws if you are unlucky enough to grip lock one or have a slightly off center drive.

Dogs are allowed on leashes and are common to see off a leash, I don't mind it but some people do. I wouldn't suggest a tourny bag your first go around on this course. Take something smaller and lighter and you'll thank me later.

No water please bring water. had disc vender on saturday.. lots of benches every hole is a smoke hole. Women playing golf!!!! and familys.
