Hidden GA Gem! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 24, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I really enjoyed this course. It has some eye popping elevations changes on several holes, both uphill and downhill.

Several of the baskets are high risk/reward factor as they are on a slope or an edge of a slope.

Two sets of pads with good enough signs. Concrete teepads that are good enough.

This course has longer holes, shorter putter type holes, both hyzer and annhyzer holes.

A good excercise and ending back to the ISLAND HOLE by the parking lot. The course flows well.

There is a good use of the natural landscape here, i.e., trees, slopes, and hills.

Cons:

I think this course could benefit greatly from NexT signs. The first round my group played we had to check pads to see if it were the correct number to throw from.

I also thought there were a tad too many shorter putter shots here. It seems as if the hole is either a driver shot, or a putter/midrange shot. No real use for a fairway driver here, or a tweener shot.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course, in a big park, in a safe area. It is overall a lot of fun and has a lot of neat holes. I would reccommend it. It is only an hour away from Central Park and in some beautiful scenery!!!

A pleasure to play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 5, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is a great use of the elevation, the trees and the open spaces. If offers everything from short and tight holes to long and wide open holes.

If offers multiple tee pads and pin locations and is normally kept pretty well maintained.

Cons:

Smaller tee pads and the signs are too close to the pads.

Other Thoughts:

A very nice course and my favorite to play in Northeast Georgia.

Great Course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 10, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Great complex with beautiful scenery

-Good design! There's a great mix of straight, hyzer, and anhyzer shots.

-Multiple pads for more experienced and beginners/intermediate

-Good scoring opportunities on the front 9, and a few in the more woody holes.

-The more woody back 9 holes are great for introducing newer players to woods, they weren't so thick that you had to throw a miracle shot to get to the basket, but were challenging enough to make you earn your score.

-They had a cool little practice area.

-Concrete Tee-Pads are great!

-There was a real good mix of Par 3 and Par 4, even a Par 5 (that was the first one I had ever seen, my home course is all par 3's)

-The extra holes are a good challenge.

-The Island hole in the extra course is really cool!!

Cons:

-Some of the fairways in the woods run real close together. 2,3,4 and 8, 9, 10 and 16,17 are all right on top of one another. It's not really an issue unless there is a group playing ahead of you.

-No real ob on the main 18 course unless you hit access roads or throw into the neighboring woods on 5 or 10. And if you throw into the woods on 10, you better just kiss that disc goodbye. Barbwire fences ain't fun to climb through.

-On extra hole #20, if you throw into the woods on the right of the pad, kiss that disc goodbye. There's a barrier of briars and shule that's thick and sharp. You'll get cut up pretty bad. Trust me.

Other Thoughts:

My experience at Rose Lane was great! I live over an hour away, but I'm looking for any chance to go back and play it!! The drive is really nice, and the scenery is worth taking a camera.

Let it rip 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 24, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

The front 9 is great. Lot's of open throws. The best is #7, just throw as hard as possible. The back 9 is almost as fun, not quite as open. Really nice elevation changes throughout the course.

Cons:

This course really needs NEXT TEE markers pointing to the next tee location, especially on back 9 (goodluck finding the 15 tee box). If you park at the first hole get ready for a long trek back to your car from either 18 or 24. The tee boxes are too small.

Other Thoughts:

I really would recommend making a trip to this course. Bring plenty of drink, as you will be out in the sun alot,

A fun course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 2, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course has a little bit of everything. Nice ratio of hyzers and anhyzers, good pin placements and in a scenic park.

Cons:

Holes 8-10 are the only thing that makes this course a little frustrating. They are great holes as is and are not an issue for casual play. During tournaments however delays can be long and you have to be very wary of incoming discs..especially on hole 9.

Other Thoughts:

This course is well worth the visit. Hole 7 alone is worth the drive. The course is excellently maintained and more holes than 18 is always a bonus.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 8, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great course to really appreciate the flight patterns of the discs. This course will test your scanning abilities. on a good day you can score really well, and on a bad day, well you know... Great design and even better upkeep. the course is well marked and the pins are easily visible.

Cons:

A little more woods play would be a nice addition to this course in my opinion, but is great just hte way it is

A Good Fun Round 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 7, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

I have played few courses as enjoyable as Rose Lane Park. An excellent design by John Nisewonder, the variety of holes will require you to pull out every shot in your arsenal. Two sets of tees make for two very different golf courses. From the short teepads, birdie can be accomplished on all but about three holes. Course record on the original 18 set by Rand Eberhard at 16 under. The back tees will require you to earn a couple of difficult pars. This course has expanded into an excellent tournament venue, and has hosted the Georgia State Championships on several occasions.

Cons:

A couple of the additional holes beyond the original eighteen will require you to play over the roads and parking lots. If the park is congested, this can prove problematic and will require caution on the part of the disc-thrower. Few opportunities for water on the course, so bring some with you. Don't be like me and drink out of the creek on five. It flows directly out of a water treatment plant.

Other Thoughts:

This course and the wonderful folks who keep it running have started a disc golf revolution in the small mountain town of Toccoa. The events held at Rose Lane are top-notch with seamless organization and pay-outs that are second-to-none.
