Vacation Challenge

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 24, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Splinter is a very well designed course in a dedicated park style area with plenty of trees. The short pads are marked well with good signage and concrete pads. Despite the flat terrain near the coast, Splinter has plenty of variety in hole length, left/right turning fairways, and even a few open holes. The OB is fair (roads and roped off OB).

The location is convenient and I'm willing to bet this course stays very busy. Plenty of opportunities for large skips with the hard sand floor.

This isn't the typical easy beach area course. This course is legit.

Cons:

Long pads are not well marked with tee pads or signage. The concrete tee pads available seem a little short.

Pay attention to the red arrow on the tree on Hole 7. Don't throw to 8's basket!

Hole 18 could be considered a hope and poke on the first shot.

Despite being in a dedicated to disc golf area, I can imagine a few holes out in the open can become unplayable due to picnickers in the warmer months.

Other Thoughts:

I've yet to play a disc golf course in South Carolina that I would not play again. This state continues to amaze me! Bravo SC!

Another nice course in South Carolina drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 21, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete pads, level, bit of a challenge and not a wide open field. Most holes are shaded. Well maintained. Enjoyable to play 2 tees per hole.

Cons:

Couple holes is close to a highway but not really close enough to get a disc in the road unless you are trying. The airport can be noisy at times. Some signs to next tee but needs direction arrows zip tied on the bottom of the catchers.

Other Thoughts:

We really enjoyed playing this course. About the only thing was kinda annoying was the lack of direction markers pointing to the next tee. I know this is kinda petty but it helps with the flow of play. I'm sure this course gets lots of first time visitors. I will play this course again next time I'm down.

Enjoyable strategic course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 16, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is an very well maintained course with a variety of shots needed to get to baskets.

Two sets of tees, one basket.

Wooded corridors are wide enough that you aren't afraid to throw a shot, but still punishing if you don't hit your line

The hole that plays down a paved roadway is a lot of fun although the pros don't seem to like it based on the recent Myrtle Beach Open commentary. But, if your discs are already scuffed up, it'll be OK.

It's almost entirely shaded, a big plus in Myrtle Beach. I was there when it was 96 degrees and it was still pretty comfortable.

Cons:

Very flat

The holes in the trees all have sort of the same look. Not that it's bad, but they're all about 10 meters wide, on dirt and pine needles, with either a bend to the left or right. Not that this is bad, it just makes one hole kind of hard to remember from another, especially on the front 9

18 is oddly far away from the parking lot. It's a great finishing hole but you're a long way from your car.

It can be very windy.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun, new course with a lot of challenging shots, I did not play the back tees, the front was enough. I thought I'd beat up the place from the front tees, since most of the par 3s are under 300 and the par 4s aren't crushing, but it's definitely tough enough to keep you thinking. The back tees are really long and a couple of times I thought about going back there, but I can't throw it 450 feet so why punish myself!

There is mention of noise, the park is close to US 17 which has a lot of traffic, and there are a couple of holes that run alongside the roadway. You're not in any danger of throwing one into the road unless you get a brutal kick but it is admittedly noisy on those couple of holes. The rest are away from the road though. I like that there are several holes that start and finish at the parking lot. It's very easy to jump around to get around large groups. The only time you're in the middle of nowhere is on #18. That's also the only hole that doesn't have a defined corridor leading you to the basket. A short, strategic woods golf par 4, a great way to finish after some really hard par 3s
