-What's great is that this course now has eighteen baskets and three sets of pads on many holes. It feels like a temporary street course set up for a tournament. It's a little bit more open than wooded, even though there's a good variation between open and wooded here. The red and white pads are good for novices or rec players. The blue pads are a little bit more challenging but still very shreddable for advanced players. Open players will be able to birdie most of the blues without much trouble or many attempts.

-The design and layout is very creative. I think the designer knew there was an eighteen holer somewhere. Kind of like a man made swimming hole implemented from a hollow hole in the ground that's later floored with hard but cheap objects and edged with brick or stones. There's some safety concern, but it's cost efficient and still enjoyable. The creativity comes into play starting on #5. You throw off a road from the blue tee over an island and across the road to another island. On hole 10, you are throwing from under the school building arch up a hill into the woods. Hole 13 is a short downhill ace run out of the woods and onto a man made island green. #17 has you throwing downhill from the student drop off section under the main entrance. Very well thought and original.

-An accuracy tester. There's a lot of OB here. The road is probably the main obstacle but #14's tee shot over the ball field is a great risk reward for players who can throw at least 375'. That was probably my favorite hole.

-Ace opportunities from every pad pretty much. The reds could be used for an ace race with a group of friends. The yellows and blues aren't quite as simple but are still very attackable.

-Tee signs for most pads. If there isn't one on one of the three pads, then it'll probably be on one of the other two. The signs are detailed and even have a name for each hole to show its individuality.

-So much danger. #16's upshot and green inside the enclosed fence consisting of a playground is a primary concern. Terrible place for a basket location. I mean sure if your shot lands in the playground, you'll have a tricky but fun looking upshot but this hole is dangerous nonetheless and should simply be moved elsewhere because I loved the tee shot out out the woods through a tight gap. This brought my rating from a 3 to a 2.5.

-You are constantly teeing off on the road or across the road. If an event is going on, you'll be skipping holes for sure.

-There is a plastic bag covering the first hole's basket. Not sure why or how long its going to be there. When I arrived I didn't know this course was technically closed because of the pandemic. That might be an indication but the rest of the baskets were not covered.

-Navigation is pretty tricky. Some of the baskets have different numbers. What sticks out in my mind is the fact that on hole six, the first basket you'll probably see is straight ahead and nearly tucked in the woods. That's #8. The basket for #6 is actually to the left side.

-Poison ivy on holes 11 and 12 and I think there was some on hole 15 as well.

-The Firecracker is a solid and fun layout. It's not my favorite course around the Greenville area, but it was better than I thought it would be. The creative locations for tee shots and the extra tee pads are a real asset to this course. Even the open holes require some shot shaping and the wooded holes really require accuracy. Even though, it's usually not very hard to salvage par if you miss. If you stay in bounds, this course is very forgiving. If you don't, you'll be losing strokes.

-I had this course all to myself. You probably will too unless there is a school event, disc golf club event, or a group that so happens to show up when you do. It's an enjoyable casual course. Pretty gimmicky but in a fun way.

The thing about this course is that all the holes a pretty manageable without many difficult shots. It is a really good course for practice and to boost some self-confidence.
It is somewhat enjoyable but I would not call it a destination course.

I think the main con is that calling it a 27 hole course is misleading. Really it is just a nine hole course that you can play up to 3 times with different tee pads. They aren't that much different though.

Hole 9 is also really hard to find if you don't study the map. You have to walk to the complete other side of the school which there are no signs or anything.

Overall, it is an easy practice course but not that much more.

The Firecracker DGC is a nice little course with many opportunities for birdies, if not ace runs. There are 9 Innova baskets, most of which have two rubber tee pads to make it 18 holes. Layout is fairly easy to follow, and rounds are quick and easy. A few sparse trees, some patches of dense brush and elevation changes add some obstacles. Course is placed on land surrounding a school, and makes good use of the available space. There is a water fountain, trash cans, and restrooms nearby at the recreation center.

The course is quite easy for an experienced player, and is somewhat repetitive. The alternate tee boxes do not change the shape of the shot drastically. I did turn around for a RH sidearm flick on 2/11, and 3/10 was a slight turnover, but otherwise RHBH hyzer city. I never found markers for 7/16, they may have been blocked by two workers and their truck who were spreading a large pile of mulch. Hole 8/17 has become somewhat risky, because a cluster of portable buildings now surrounds the target (not pictured on map). My shot wound up 6 feet under a classroom. Only hole I took a bogey on. I didn't play all 18, because of a very similar back nine, and snow began to fall after 9. The course is closed while school is in session.

Firecracker DGC is fun, but not as exciting as it sounds. I had fun on my visit here, and I'm glad I got to see it. Low level of difficulty makes this course great for beginners, and playable with only 2 or 3 discs. I would be happy to have it if I lived nearby, but this is not a destination course, there are several better ones not far away. In summary, any disc golf is good disc golf,
