This course is where it all started for me. My brother in law invited me for a round and I jumped at the chance as I had wanted to try this sport out for a while. After the round here I was hooked! I enjoyed my round here and look forward to playing here again sometime.
1: Has a great location close to downtown so it is easy to get to from the University or other areas of the city. The course also has ample parking.
2: Bright Orange baskets make locating the target much easier than other courses I have played.
3:Good mix of holes. The first three holes will challenge your accuracy skills as you go into the woods, then its out into the open for the majority of the course.
4: Beginner friendly. It's a great location to introduce people to the sport (may want to skip the first 3 holes till they get the hang of throwing more accurately)
5: Ideal course for bringing out your favorite drivers and honing in your distance throwing skills. There are not a lot of trees or other obstacles on most holes to get in your way so you should be able to get good use from your long distance discs here.
6: Course is well designed and made the best use of the space they had. There is adequate distance between fairways and although most of the land is open fields you still get a bit of variety every few holes.
7: Has some memorable holes including the first 3 holes in the woods and one of the latter holes that has the basket placed directly behind a baseball backstop fence. This latter hole was unique and made you think about how you would get your disc over the tall fence or around it.

Not a lot of cons here, just a couple of minor things that you should keep in mind.
1:Can be hard to find the next tee if you are unfamiliar with the course. The signage is very limited and often you have to look for the tee markers on the ground. This is likely due to the course being used as parking for football games and other sports that are played here. Having a copy of the course map will help a lot here.
2: The land that the course is on is used for other sporting events and as overflow parking for football games so it is not always open.

I had a blast here and would certainly play here again. This is a wonderful course for fans of wide open fairways This is the place to throw some good long distance disc golf and not be hindered by a ton of trees along the way. It also provides a good mix of holes which consists of a sprinkling of challenging forest golf, a chunky amount of open field golf and a few holes that have a bit of both. The course also makes good use of the topography offered. If you are in the Clemson area and are looking for a quick fun round or want to show your friends how fun the game can be you should have a good time.

-gives an open course after the first few holes (which bodes well for beginners like myself)
-Very few places to lose a disc (holes 1-3)
-Close to the University
-Offers alternate tee shots for different difficulties

-Sometimes hard to figure out where the hole is.
-2nd hole is misleading in a sense that you can't see the water from the tee shot so its definitely a possibility of losing a disc in the water.

All around good course especially for beginners who are just learning the tendencies of their discs. all around a good solid course.

This is a great course for winding up and letting it rip. Lots of very long, wide open holes with few obstacles. The course is built in a parking lot used during Clemson football games, so you can imagine a wide open grass field with just a handful of trees here and there. The first three holes are wooded before you get into the wide open parking lot holes. Despite the apparent dullness of the course, there is something intangible that makes this a fun course to play. The lakefront vistas make for a nice backdrop.

There are multiple tee pads, but really you are choosing between the long orange tees and the really, really long purple tees (those nauseating Clemson colors!). Many players will find the holes repetitive and non-challenging. The "fairway" on hole #3 is a seriously overgrown alley with a narrow winding path running through it; needs some serious brush cutting.

This is a good course to practice your long throws without being penalized for ones that sail off course. Not a lot of variety, but if you want to work on your distance, this is the place. Not bad being able to cool off in the lake afterwards.

Nice Long and Short Tees, A great place to work on your drive or just work on shaping lines. Nice changes in elevation. Another course in the Area!

Really Open, After the first few holes it just seems like you are throwing the same shot over and over but they did use what was available...except the H2O. Grass and Brush need to be trimmed.

Needs tee pads and signs but i dont think the pads are an option. Always nice to have another course in the area but if its possible to have a least favorite disc golf course so far this would be mine

A fairly long course from the pro tees (Clemson Purple), and not too long from the am tees (Clemson Orange). Most tees are a fair distance apart for the average player. Good course to work on your drive.

Extremely open course (except first 3 holes), and did not make any use of available lakefront. CLOSED 2-3 days before all Clemson football home games.

Much of this course is used for parking during Clemson Football home games, which means it is primarily big open fields. I am very impressed with the designers incorporation of any available obstacle to make the course less open and add interest to the course. Considering the location, they did an excellent job designing this for the maximum variety. Basically, on many holes, you look out at a large open field and see the basket 320 to 520 feet away, tucked right behind the only tree in the area. One is just on the other side of a no longer used baseball infield fence, sitting at about home plate where you must throw over the fence. They really didn't have a lot to work with, and they did the best they could, considering.

Another side effect of using this for football crowd parking is that they remove the Baskets and signage a couple of days before a home game. They also will not be putting in concrete pads, but do have decent signage and well marked tee locations.

As a side note, the PDGA has listed a course here for years. It was a short, awful object (non)course with painted posts to hit, and zero creativity used in the design. The rebuilding into the new course was fairly well done, considering the property's multipurpose, open nature.

Course is by no means hilly, but not totally flat either, most hole have at least a little elevation change. And, I think 54 for the pro par is good, but the rec par should be more like 62 (when played from pro tees). I put rec par #'s in notes for hole description.

Orange holes, Great location, First real and official Clemson University course

Still a work in progress.. Signs and tee-boxes are not going to happen because they use the area for parking during football season.. No use of the water (with the lake surrounding the area, I wish there was more of a lake-front feel to this course)

Like I said, still a work in progress- as this course evolves, it will be amazing. Tee-markers are going in (orange and purple for pro/am tee's) Search Facebook for "Clemson Disc Golf" and join the group- maps of the course are available there)
