Air it out! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 21, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice wide open fairways, you tee off cart paths so the tees are as long as you want them to be. 18 holes of disc golf, there is some trouble. There are a few water carries and precarious pin locations next to creeks or ponds. Some baskets are close to greens or sand traps that are out of bounds. This adds to the difficulty on a relatively open course. For the Carolina's a nice wide bomber course is a breath of fresh air. I thought the unique (to this area) style baskets were pretty cool and a neat touch. Throwing a bag and cooler on a cart is fun and reminds a lot of us of our roots playing ball golf. The staff was extremely friendly. Constantly trying to learn, taking pictures, and asking how they can expand awareness of the sport. They work really hard to make it and have some great ambition to bring Disc Golf to the area. One of the course managers collects discs from the ponds and saves them for you. If you lose one, let him know where. Snack bar, restrooms, and a lounge a hole 1 and 10 is great. While the coure is wide open...the baskets are still tucked away in neat hiding spots that can protect them from incoming shots. There is a low risk of lost discs on this course, and that is a plus.

Cons:

Not really any signage, and the score cards could use a map. A few of the tee pad locations were on uneven ground. If you do not throw long, you can find this course a little boring. Pay to play is tough for disc golfers to swallow. If the course is busy, I am unsure how the golfers and discers play together. I think the course could have been layed out on the front or back 9 instead of the over the whole 18. Maybe you could have 2 18 hole courses that way. The baskets are a little stingy, more than any I have played. Good luck with a fairway ace or a long throw-in.

Other Thoughts:

We played a "ball and chain" event here. 1 round disc, 1 ball, random doubles. It was a blast and definitely a unique experience that I hope to do again. It is worth noting again how nice the staff was and how interested they are to expand DG in the area. I uploaded their green fees for them here.

What a riot! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 29, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nice design. Still getting the final touches. Carts ... how can you go wrong ... well putting a cart in the water.

Seriously. This is a fantastic course, and is only likely to get better. We were the first card out to play and had one of the owners with us so it made finding our way around much easier. The course is long as mentioned in the previous review. 3 holes are over 1000 ft! I think this course has the potential to put Winthrop Gold to shame. It is longer has more elevation and more variety.

Cons:

Location and cost. I am all for pay to play courses especially when they are well maintained. As this course will be. The location isn't all that bad but it is out in the middle of no where ... that may be a pro actually ... less traffic.

Other Thoughts:

I think this course is great and will only get better. I will return a play it when i can. I wish i had one down the road from my house.

Also i have posted the lengths that we had yesterday. These may change as the holes are still being finalized and some of the measurements seemed off yesterday.

There is water in play on many holes but i didn't include that in the hole data b/c i don't remember which holes.
