Pitiful DG at the UWG 2+ years

Played on:Jan 5, 2021
Played the course:once
Pros:
At the University of West Georgia, the list of possible degrees that start with "D" include data intelligence and digital marketing.
However, disc golf is not offered as a major; in fact, it's barely available as an extracurricular activity.
Not much has changed in the two-and-a-half years since wellsbranch250 reviewed this Carrolton course. The coffin isn't in the ground yet, but the hole has been dug.
The pros aren't many and starting the list with a "well, uhh, it still has eight baskets" shrug isn't a good sign.
You likely won't run into any interference as the course is located around an abandoned field on the west side of campus. In 2021, only two rounds have been logged on DGCR (mine and my disc golf partner) and only two rounds on UDisc. While isolation can be a bonus for disc golf, the seclusion at UWG contributes to the desolate feeling of the surroundings.
At least the course designers avoided sticking a basket pointlessly in the middle of the field. Several of the holes play around the field's perimeter before backtracking into an adjoining field.
I played the course in January, so the grass was short.
If you drive down the dead-end road to where the nature trails start, there's an area on the right where you can park and be near the Hole #1 teepad.

Cons:
In brief, the teepads are terrible; the "signs" are worthless; the Hole #4 basket is still missing and another basket is bent.
A couple teepads are missing while several of the teepads are slightly raised platforms filled with some concoction of gravel, mulch, dirt and overgrown grasses.
The so-called signs are wooden posts with a small platform on top that apparently contained a map many years ago. Now the posts that remain are simply unsightly markers.
The baskets looked abused in the DGCR photos from 2010. More than a decade later, they appear even worse.
Hole #7 has a lot more trees in its fairway now and Hole #8 involves throwing over several garden-related obstacles.
Not much variety. Most of the holes are fairly straight and open. Also, the areas off the open fairways aren't ideal unless you like briars, kudzu and very wooded areas.

Other Thoughts:
Go directly to Hobbs Farm. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Do not bother disc golfing at the University of West Georgia.
