The HILLS!!!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 28, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Best use of elevation i've seen yet...Requires long bomb downhill shots, uphill shots, overhill shots. Amazing for the fact of how open it is.

- Has a good mix of distanaces

- Loops around on itself fairly well


-wide open for the most part (see cons)

-Very good exercise.

Cons:

-No Teepads/ signs are wooden poles

-Hard to follow the first time around

-High grass (school's out for the summer, may just have been inbetween mows)

-WIDE OPEN, almost zero trees (hole 6 is about the only one that really comes into play)

VERY hot in the summer, No shade, Lots of hills

Other Thoughts:

Coming from the Gulf coast the Elevation was a shocker on this one, almost painful at times. Fun course, and best use of elevation in the area.

Gets a 2.5 because it's Too open, no pads/ map signs. great play though. combine with myrtle ridge (a mile down the road) for a pretty good day trip

Since it is summer and schools out (even the school board building was deserted)...I put these as side notes rather that cons, because I assume these problems will be fixed when school gets back in.

Hole 8- Black Post was down/ hole filled in.

Hole 10- Pole only, no chains or basket

Hole 11- No red tee (or I couldn't find one at least)

Other Thoughts:

If you ever wanted to know how a game of disc golf would be in Tele-tubby land you have to check out this course. This is not only the hilliest course I have ever played; it is possibly the hilliest area I have ever seen. The Tele-tubby Windows XP background analogy is no exaggeration. Every hole will have you going up or down a hill at least once if not multiple times. This course offers a unique challenge; Many Rolling Hills. One issue you may have the first time out is you will see multiple baskets from the tee without the ability to differentiate your target basket from the rest. The best solution I found was to line up the black and red tees and look straight down the field. You will always be throwing at least close to that direction. Do not look for a natural boundary to guide you, because with the exception of holes 1 and 2, you will only see a few trees on the remainder of the course. You do not play this course for wooded holes and long fairways; you play it for the grassy Windows XP hills. These hills are very steep as well. I could feel the burn in my shins after just 11 holes. Most baskets are placed in a way that if you miss your 10 to 20 foot putt, you will pay for it. I missed a 15 foot putt from one knee and my Wizard rolled at least 100 feet to the next tee. For practice, I threw my Roc and then watched it roll just past my wizard. You will find the basket placement to be the most challenging part of this course. The "cliff like" edges are very unforgiving. I generally prefer courses that require technique over long arm throws but this is completely different from either type. I suspect that every hole is approximately 250 to 300 feet straight shot with no obstructions. You might suspect that you will be putting for birdie on every hole but you must consider that missing putts may have your disc roll back to the tee pad so a conservative player want to will lay up several shots. If you are in the area and want to experience a unique kind of course then by all means give it a shot, but be prepared to play a different type of game.

This course will be fair for left-handed and right-handed players.

On another positive note, if you play speed disc golf, this course will give you a great workout.

(I understand that Rolling Hills will be expanding to 18 holes soon.)
