Beware of That Backyard
Reviewed:
Played on:May 14, 2023
Played the course:once
Pros:
-It's on the side of the country road off 19E. It's a pretty setting that offers a walking trail.
-#6 was a good hole. I like the uphill hyzer around the trees. Some interesting rock croppings by the green on this one as well.
-Grass was mostly mowed. I've driven past here plenty of times before I played it and it never looked overgrown. So it's taken care of pretty good.

Cons:
-Pretty long holes and some shorter raised tee pads......not a good mix. #7's tee pad is entirely too short and directly behind it are thick woods and thorns.
-Not so friendly message, more so of a not so friendly paragraph on the no trespassing sign. Beware of dog and gun. Lots of misspelling on the message too. Something you'd expect from the "Not in my backyard" squad.
-Just wide open without much distinctiveness. You could very well be sleepwalking by the time you are finished. Wake up fast! The winding roads in the mountains are tough to drive on when you're awake!

Other Thoughts:
-It's a good course to throw some drives and get warmed up but other than that, it's not really worth the stop after the first time.
-Thinking so hard to write something about a boring course burns calories! Believe me!

Pros:
Located just a few miles from Roan Mountain State Park, this is a nice, easy, beginner-friendly course on the way to Bob's Dairyland. Open course with a few scattered trees. Nice concrete T-pads great baskets and signage. Not crowded and easy to find.
The local community did a good job of pulling this course together with hole sponsorship.

Cons:
Not a very challenging layout, but you can only do so much with a small, flat piece of ground and a few trees.
The dual tees don't change things much, since the holes are open and straight.
It's a 9 holer.

Other Thoughts:
Don't be fooled by the name, this course is flat as a pancake. Roan Mountain is a destination state park for a family vacation, but the nearby DG course is not, for a serious player. It is however a really nice introductory course for new players. Since disc golf does not have much of an experienced player base in this area, the course serves it's purpose.
