Good, beginner and kid friendly course. The Chainstar baskets are in good shape and have the hole number on top, this will help new players find their way around.
Gravel tees and small basic tee signs to show where to tee from. They didn't just throw some baskets in the middle of this small park, they put some effort into it.
There are enough trees and bushes to make you throw specific shots, but not too much chance of losing a disc.
Finishes with the "monster" of the course at 270', so you have a chance to build your distance.
Picnic shelter and playground as payoff to get the little ones here.

Strictly a beginner friendly course in a small park, with a walking path around it. So most of the holes are close together and a couple even overlap. So it could be bean city if very many are playing.
The gravel tees aren't too good, but you can always tee next to them.
Kind of hidden behind a couple of houses, across from another part of the park, you have to be looking for this forest.

After surviving the wasteland of Britton's Neck, I was waiting for the Waccamaw River gates to open. When it was obvious that one was not going to open, I started searching that other DG App and found this course. What a nice surprise to find this course, well marked, good baskets and a quick play. Since it wasn't on DGCR at the time, I got to add it.
Not too many memorable holes here, the first 8 average just 175' so good practice for the Mids and Putters for most of you. You do have to shape shots to get close since there are just enough trees for that challenge. A couple of tees are close to the last baskets, so be careful when throwing. They did save the whole west side of the property for the finishing hole, long at 270', one chance to let it rip.
Along with the Coastal Carolina University course closer to Myrtle, this makes two beginner friendly courses. If the Waccamaw River Park does reopen, that looks like a very swampy property, come here instead.
I gave this course a 2.0, since I normally rate higher than DGC, I wanted to be consistent.

Sherwood Forest is set in Sherwood Park . Stay alert . You will see a Sherwood Park with no baskets right in front of you . You have to look for a driveway on the other side of the Sherwood Drive across from the visible park . The short driveway will lead you to an okay sized parking lot . I didn't see a bathroom here .
The Equipment - The tee pads are about 4' X 8' crushed gravel The small wood tee signs are about 12" high with just the hole # and distance . The baskets are single chained Chainstars . There is a nice shelter at the parking lot with 2 benches and a grille next to it .
The Landscape . This is a true park style course . It is flat but not wide open . There are enough obstacles here to make even the short holes here interesting . Sherwood Forest is packed in tight , so there are no long walks between holes once you get your bearings . The course was mowed and landscaped when I was here .
Course Appearance/Atmosphere - The atmosphere is light , as the course caters to the young and/or inexperienced . The course itself is above average looking and the outlying visible areas are also pretty good to look at .
The Highlights - Not a lot of highlights for a course that's longest hole ( 270' ) is 36' longer than it's next longest hole . #6 was the more intriguing hole . at 241' , it forces you to either shoot the thin slot between small bushes/trees , or throw up top and over them . There are some good variety of obstructions for the holes , except #7 which is an open stright shot .
Disc Risk - You would have to try hard to lose your disc here . You may have to dig in a bush to get one out , but there is little risk .
The Time - It took me about 20 minutes to play this flat course . A group of 4 will finish it in 40 minutes or less .

#1 Safety - This course is packed tight , it's open and can be windy , and it will draw mostly newbies and kids looking to learn . Combine these , and you have a recipe for a Club Sandwich . Fairways run right alongside each other .There was only one other player when I was on the course . and we were experienced enough to stay out of each others lines .
#2 Navigation - Going from tee to tee is not seamless here . You could easily skip a couple of holes if not paying attention
#3 Challenge - Any adult that plays even sporadically will have a deuce fest here . They may even pick up and ace if the wind is down . .The parking lot had more slope than the park . Not a terrible thing , though .

If you are coming here and your group are the only people here , then this park could be a lof ot fun . Since it is so short , a couple of glow discs and some solar shield baskets or glow strips would make this great for night golf . The course plays so fast , you could get in a quick round on your lunch break if working in Conway . They say that you have to crawl before you can walk . This is THAT crawl course . Perfect for the elementary school kids , Located close to Main Street , there are plenty of food or drink options about 2 minutes away .
My Recommendation - I was surprised when I came here . Not expecting much , I came away with more . This is a fantastic intro , newbie , family or date course . 1 Disc players will love it here , too . Locals can sharpen their approach and putt game . Not much here for intermediates on up unless they live close by . Travelers , here is your stop going to or coming from Myrtle Beach . A quick 20 that's easy on the legs . Course Collectors , same thing . You can grab up to 4 courses in a short morning if Waccamaw isn't flooded . Not a course to go out of your way much , but close enough to 501 to stop and have a beverage or sandwich and get your fix .

Coming to Sherwood Forest, my sole goal was to bag this course as quick as possible. It was part of a one day, 400-mile round trip, nine course outing. What I got instead, was an outstanding short course that may be one of the best practice layouts I've seen.
- First impressions matter. Attempting to turn into the park, I had to wait on three people standing in the middle of the entrance starting at me, seemingly confused that someone would be heading to the parking lot. An awkwardly long wait that gave that 'this isn't going to be good' feel.
- Once seeing the course, I was shocked by how small the land is. The field is only two and a half acres. So, I opted to leave the bag in the truck and just grab three discs.
- This is the perfect course for kids & beginners. The average hole length is 186 feet. Other than some overgrowth surrounding the field (right of fairways on #3 & 9), everything is right in the middle of the field.
- The obstacles are what make this course as enjoyable and challenging as possible. Plenty of palmetto trees, ornamental grasses, and other plants to force players to throw over, around, or under. #1 is the simplest and only non-obstacled hole. More advanced players should be birdieing (or better) just about every hole. My 21 (6 under) was a disappointment.
- Absolute perfect course for practicing new shots. You want to learn how to throw LHBH when you're in a pinch? Try it here. Need to improve that overhand (is Tomahawk pc anymore?)? Practice by throwing over the palmettos to a basket.
- Quickest of quick rounds. 15 minutes for nine holes. 30 for a full 18 tops. There's a nice playground across the street so let the kids play here while you play the course.
- As for quality holes, #4 is probably the best. Overlook the fact #5's basket is right in the middle of the fairway, or that #7's basket is the only other visible basket from the tee pad. It's a dog leg left for RHBH or dogleg right if you throw backhand or LHBH. At 237 feet, you're either throwing a high shot over and past the natural obstacles or coming in low with a skip to the basket. This is the most varied tee shot so, again, good for practicing multiple throws.
- Close to downtown Conway. Driving throw the downtown, I past several local restaurants and establishments. Being a college town, suspect you'll find some good dive food and beer selections.

The negatives are overwhelmingly related to the tight confines. Realize that when playing here.
- First off, holes overlap. Some directly - all of #4 - 8 - and the rest indirectly. A tee shot going 25 feet offline will lead you to another hole's fairway. This is an issue if other players are on the course.
- Confusion about the layout. Which basket is one throwing to? That's an issue on several holes. For this there are two easy fixes. The first is the standard course map kiosk. For the other, on top of the baskets are yellow hole number markers. Sounds good, right? Problem is that the markers are only on one side. Have the marker on both sides. On at least one hole, the marker is on the backside.
- Stating the obvious - there's a lack of variety. And even more obvious - this course isn't for you. I suspect everyone who reads this review will be more skilled than this course's intended target audience.
- Expanding on an above comment, this course won't be fun to play if there are multiple other players/groups on the course. Due to the overlap, you'll have to wait until other holes are cleared before playing certain holes. You'll also be having to keep an eye on others throwing for errant shots. And with, I assume, many casual/beginners playing, I suspect there will be plenty of stray shots. This course isn't good enough to be stuck waiting between holes or to be constantly dodging stray shots.

Sherwood Forest is excellent for what it is. I wouldn't recommend anyone to drive out of their way to play here. I would recommend it to locals, beginners, and families.
- A perfect course to introduce young kids to disc golf. Between the short layouts and different obstacles, the designer absolutely nailed the concept of a kid-friendly course. I wish this course was close to me simply so my kids would possibly show interest in playing.
- TANGENT TIME. A lot of disc golfers don't understand what a kid-friendly course is. Unless the kid has some athletic ability, most kids still can't consistently throw a frisbee (let alone a disc) straight. They don't throw far. A 125-foot throw is an incredible shot for a 6-8 year-old. They also lose interest if they're not doing well at the activity at hand, hence the reason we all took piano lessons for a couple months as a kid and never again. So, when someone asks for a kid friendly course, courses averaging 300 feet/hole or longer, or ones that could include lots of time to search for discs, are way out of their league. Sorry, I've seen one too many dumb suggestions on FB DG pages.
- Very calm and scenic local. Having the water tower as a backdrop really gives you a calm, small-town happy feel. In the midst of my marathon disc golf day, I enjoyed the laid-back easy feel of this course.
- Lots of safari golf options here. One could get creative making better layouts than are already here. If you're looking for that first ace, play several rounds here.
- For anyone wanting to slightly stretch out their arms, you finally get the chance on #9. At 270 feet, this might be the only hole you need a disc with a little more distance.
- Nothing but positive feelings about this layout. In the grand scheme, it's a simplistic course as will be reflected by rating. In the micro sense, this course is close to perfection. If anyone wants to learn how to build a course for kids, check out this layout. A lot of school courses need to take lessons from this design.
