How many stages of mediocrity can one course have? Let's play Scottish Hills and find out.
- The basket for hole 3 was in good shape. It's a nicely designed hole.
- The tee shot for #5 is nice. A slight downhiller to a basket on the edge of the woods.
- Thankfully this monstrosity of a course is only 9 holes. Or 10 if the hidden hole remains.
- If you've ever heard Nikki Glazer at the Roast of Rob Lowe go off on Jewel's teeth: your teeth are like the Spice Girls. They're different colors and they're all doing their own thing. This is the disc golf equivalent to that: dwarf baskets, broken baskets, baskets missing chains, and a basket that's not even a basket.

If you like anything resembling disc golf, this isn't the course for you. Let's just say, seeing the bad layouts and tiny baskets on #1 & 2 are far from the worst things on this course. By default, #2 is in the top half of quality holes on this course.
- By not having a hole #4, that alone makes it better than some holes on this course.
- UDisc kept trying to push the tee for #6 in someone's backyard. Based on the hole lengths listed on this site and UDisc, I'd venture to guess that the tee for that hole actually was in someone's backyard. Instead, you throw, then hop over a creek.
- Was there actually a fairway for #7?
- Did any of the chains actually connect on the cage for #8?
- What is that freak of a basket/object on #9?
- The sign beyond #6's basket mentions the frisbee golf course. Seriously, when was this course installed?

Scottish Hills was worse than even I could have imagined. It's like finding a broken down, old trampoline or swingset in someone's backyard whose kids are grown up and moved out years ago. I don't think anyone has given this course any thought in years. Decades, maybe?
- You think I'm exaggerating? The picture of #9's target was taken 8 years ago (2015) and it's just as decrepit then as it is now. So, this isn't a sudden change.
- With the greenway right there, why even bother having a 'course' right here? Or, because there's a greenway right here, why not try to improve the course?
- When then tiny baskets on #1 & 2 are better than at least 3 other baskets, that's bad. When there are essentially 5 different varieties of baskets on 8 holes, that's even worse.
- Out of my 530+ played courses, this is in my bottom 10. Just the bane of all disc golf existence. And, I couldn't think of a more fitting review than this one.

I like to look at the glass as half full. With that in mind, if I lived in the Scottish Hills neighborhood, my kids would love playing this course. Even by pitch-and-putt standards, it's very short. The first 5 holes are almost completely wide-open and short. The last 4 are in the woods and slightly more challenging, but any adult with more than a round or two under his/her belt won't find anything about the course that appealing. But hey, I'm sure the local kids in the neighborhood like it!

+ Ace runs!

+ Ideal for course baggers.

Unless you literally live in this neighborhood or you are a degenerate course bagger (like me), you have no reason to travel to this course.

- Zero challenge. If you are more than a beginner, you will kick yourself for not getting an ace. There is literally a 45ish foot hole...wide open. (I assume that one is really a par 2).

- No tee pads and very uneven ground with roots sticking out as your "tee area."

- Some baskets are in disrepair, some are literally 6 inches off the ground, and the #9 "basket" is the weirdest homemade concoction I've ever seen. It's some metal contraption with chains hanging straight down. You have to fly through it from the front or back to count. If you are to either side, you literally can go through the "basket."

- The back half of the course can be overgrown with underbrush, trees, weeds, and poison ivy.

Not worth traveling to, but if you're in the immediate vicinity and want to notch a course on your belt, go for it.

New Baskets on some holes. Some room to make up new tee positions and make up a few better holes using basket locations. No traffic.

Too small a piece of land for disc golf. Volleyball net in the middle of the field. Could never play during summer months unless a member. Current tee pads make every hole under 150'.

7 and 8 were your typical short technical wood holes that require accuracy and were the only holes I would consider worth playing as they were designed. This course is basically two shorter 200' wood holes and a couple baskets on the outside of an open field. We went for about 30 minutes and just messed around with the baskets from random tee locations. Don't waste your time.

Located right off of cary parkway.
Pretty weak course otherwise. good for those new to the sport but no real challenge for even remotely skilled players. still better than nothing i guess.

Short, more like a course for putting practice,beat up baskets where there are baskets with plastic chains that don't seem to do very much in the way of stopping discs. I have heard of cops giving people a hard time about it being a private course even though i have never seen anyone playing it (i used to practice drives on a portion of the greenway right down the street from this course and it was always empty).

just too small an area for a good course

I grew up playing this course, especially since my family was a member of the Scottish Hills Recreational Club, which owns the land which the course resides.

The location of this course is perfect for Cary residents, as it is located right off Cary Parkway, and in the middle of a large number of seasoned residential areas.

Unfortunately, Scottish Hills Rec Club hasn't maintained the course other than mowing the grass (as required by Cary Town ordinance).

~ 90+% of the Baskets are not completely dilapidated.
~ Multiple chains are missing from a majority of the baskets.
~ All of the baskets located on the Cary Greenway are missing, or have been relocated without signage.

I remember when you could play this course 2-3 times in a row and still not get bored, but now it's better considered a decent set of practice baskets, if you don't feel like driving to a real DGC...
