UNC A mess !! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 7, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are baskets, on a part of campus that doesn't seem to get much other traffic, and, oh yea, there is parking nearby!
That about does it for the Pros, wait, one more, its real close to Richmond Hill, so an easy course bagging opportunity. That's about it!

Cons:

#1 has been removed for a new Dorm, more on that later.
Tee pads can be slippery, I teed from the grass on most of the holes.
Without #1 starting near the parking lot, #2 is pretty tough to find.
Pretty rough to play, no good lines on most holes, lots of undergrowth, easy way to lose a disc.

Other Thoughts:

It looks like this course was put in, and not much has been done to it since. Doesn't look anything like the pics on here from 2010.
So, the new Dorm that took out hole 1 ... seems the State of NC contracted to built a new dorm on a state campus, and just before it was to open last year, with a compliment of students assigned there, the state Fire Marshall declared it a fire hazard. Seems the fire exit stairwells were built with flammable materials included, so they initially declared it unsafe. After considering hotel housing for those students, and several negotiations, they came up with a compromise, the students could move in, repairs would be started, and a team of 4 city firefighters would move into one of the Quads, full-time until it passed inspection! I actually saw them on the day I was there, I couldn't catch up to them to ask the big question, "how many keggers have you been invited to?"
That's really the most interesting thing I can share about this course.
I guess you could get some practice in here, but its really a mess.

Not worth it unless you live on campus 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 10, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

You get outside and get some sun

Cons:

Only 6 holes and all are very short, so it only takes 20-15 to play

Very hard to find

No way to tell where you start or where you're going

Other Thoughts:

Not much to it, but if you're close by and need a warmup it's good for practice
