Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
First of all, I'm the property owner so I'm close to this project but I'll attempt to give as honest review as possible for people considering a visit.
Pro's are:
1. It's a PRIVATE COURSE built by disc golfers for disc golfers.No competing with park goers, children, campers, etc... Disc Golf is #1 at Torma Town and disc golfers are always welcome. Not all courses can say that.
2. The COURSE DESIGN is unique, challenging, and offers a variety of looks. The front 9 holes are relatively open and makes you throw controlled downhill shots near OB, water, and other hazards. The back 9 is much tighter and plays mostly through tight twisting fairways. There are fairway bunkers, challenging OB, elevated greens, narrow gauntlets, and more to create thrill-packed round.
3. The COMMUNITY is awesome. The course was fundraised locally and built by an ever-growing group of amazing people. The course gets better every day because there are about 30+ local players that donate labor and materials into improving the course thus, CONSTANTLY IMPROVING.
4. The LAND is amazing. 20 acres of rolling terrain and dense woods on the Catawba River. 60 Feet in elevation change. 3 creeks. 4 Powerline towers. Wild Pears & Blackberries. Deer. Hawks. Turkeys. Turtles. Beavers. Fox...all 25 minutes from downtown Charlotte.
5. FUN is GUARANTEED...this course isn't perfect yet but it's 18 fun holes of disc golf that's easy to navigate on a beautifully manicured piece of property designed specifically for disc golfers. You will enjoy yourself. I guarantee it!
6. GLOW LEAGUE!! From November to March is Glow League which is a shortened illuminated layout.
7. The LOST & FOUND page. You might lose a disc at Torma Town but if you put your name on it...you'll probably get it back...if you lost a disc head over to the "Lost & Found - Torma Town" facebook page and look for it there.

Cons:
The course is still a work in progress so a lot these cons will be addressed in time but here are some things to know before visiting:
1. GO BEFORE YOU THROW...there are no permanent public restrooms. There is only a port-a-potty onsite between hole 2 & 15. It's serviced and cleaned weekly.
2. BRING YOUR OWN WATER...the only source of clean cold drinking water is a well-water spigot on hole 14 or the drink vending machine on hole 14.
3. BRING SUNSCREEN...holes 1-8 offer mixed shade at best. Due to powerline regulations we cannot build any shade structures. During the high summer months, it can get pretty hot without proper protection.
4. HEADS UP! The course is packed onto 20 acres and sometimes it can feel a little cramped. This creates a cool atmosphere in tourneys as you are surrounded by disc golf but this also means you are close to other throwers/putters so you might have to yield to other players. There are no crossing fairways though...just close sometimes.
5. The Infamous HOLE 7...this isn't really a con as much as a warning. Hole 7 shows no mercy. It is a disc eater and round killer. You can take a par with 3 controlled shots and a putt...many will try, few will succeed. The water surrounding hole 7's island eats discs a lot. An errant shot might result in a lost disc. Put your name/number on your disc to increase your chances of a safe return.

Other Thoughts:
Torma Town DGC was started in the winter of 2016. We fought back the land, installed new baskets, bridges, and more...this is a constant work in progress and we appreciate the support as we continue to improve the course amenities and disc golf experience. I hope you enjoy your round at TTDGC and encourage honest feedback.
