(0.947 Rating) A dying course, but there's still a weak pulse.
- CHAINS - Well.... 7 of the 9 holes have DISCatchers in great condition. Basket (6) must have been hit by a tree or a lawn mower. Basket (4) is still missing. From reading the previous reviews, it's been gone for some time now, so don't expect it back.
- QUICK PLAY - Do you have an additional 25 minutes after playing Hobbs? If so, then you too can say you've played all the courses in Carrollton.
- QUIET - I could tell by the overgrown tees that the players here are few are far between.

The course reaper is sharpening its blade.
- CHARACTER - Just 1% of the bountiful riches of Hobbs would do wonders here. Poor tees, disintegrating and missing tee signs, no seating, no map and no navigational aids.
- NAVIGATION - To expunge further. I found a map on another site and without it I could have never found my way around this course. Of the existing signs, they are just remnant wood as no information remains. The only numbers on this course are on the baskets. I've uploaded a map for the next fool brave enough to venture here.
- SAFETY HAZARDS - Hole (1) plays down a pathway and brings a shelter into play. Hole (8) plays across a garden.
- POISON IVY - It was everywhere on my May 2018 visit.
- UNIQUENESS - Actually not too bad for a nine hole course, but still well below average. There are a couple of nice benders. Hole (5) is a fun blind horseshoeing right hook. Hole (9) is another fun long right pocketing shot. Hole (1) is similar to nine but was playing down about 10 to 15 feet. The layout is very unbalanced with all the right plays. Elevation is minor other than the before mentioned hole (1). A mix of moderately wooded, lightly wooded and open holes. All par 3s and no water.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - A bit of a rundown look on this part of the campus. The tees are overgrown and an eyesore. There are some torn grasses from the mowing equipment. Tree limbs and leaf dump piles are along the fringes of the layout. I scored the course a 1.375 out of 5, which actually brought the overall rating back up a bit.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - I'd say that the difficulty here is most closely aligned to the lower Recreational level. I think intermediates with average around 2 down and advanced players will average around 5 to 6 down.
- MAINTENANCE - The course is not maintained other than the mowing of the open field areas.
- PARKING - The course is a good 500 foot walk from the closest parking area.

For anyone that's ever wanted to quickly see what I consider a top 5% and a bottom 5% course could just visit the city of Carrollton Georgia. I had partly wondered to see if some of the negative reviews was due in part to the phenomenal course next door. Nope, it's bad. The West Georgia University layout is a shell of a course. For the extreme necro course baggers out there, I would not be surprised to hear that these baskets are pulled within a year's time. It's pretty much a dead course now. Play it now before the coffin goes into the ground.

Mostly open and flat course - should be great for the beginner

Quiet - I was the only player out on a nice Saturday morning

Free parking - but it's a walk to the first tee or last basket

Missing hole #4 basket

The cage on hole #6 basket is pretty bent but playable

Hole #8 fairway has a garden to shoot over

Holes 6-8 don't seem to be maintained

Natural tee pads are not flat - recommend teeing off on the grass/dirt around them

No tee signs

No next tee signs - since there isn't a course map, look at the pictures of this course before playing for first time

Short course overall with no par variety

I came to this course knowing it's not going to be a favorite since Hobbs Farm just opened nearby. The course at West GA is quite simple and could use a redesign. It seems like the designers here just crammed the holes together without much thought. I have played courses at other universities like Shorter and Berry where the designs are much better in that the holes are spread out. It appears that the campus has the greenspace to accommodate a larger course. I hope the success from the new course will excite the Carrollton area and then spill over to this course to get new life once more.

The University of West Georgia hosts this basic nine hole course. It's a short course, ringing up at only about 2200' and doesn't ask for many technical shots. For that reason it's quite friendly to beginners and recreational players, which I guess for a college campus is probably ideal. The course seems to play in its own little area for the most part. This means that you shouldn't have to deal with others on the course which is a problem at some other campus courses I've played.

The layout is pretty basic as it pretty much follows a counterclockwise loop around an open field. While the course is pretty flat, hole one gives a taste of a downhill shot while number nine hints at a somewhat uphill shot. Nine brings you right back up to one's tee pad so in that aspect the layout makes some sense.

Good ol' reliable DISCatchers are on all nine holes.

Unfortunately the course design will put you to sleep quicker than a glass of warm milk. While I mentioned it's probably ideal for a college campus, it's not for an experienced/advanced player. A steady diet of short, right turning shots on a pretty boring piece of property will leave you wanting more.

I was disappointed with 1, 2, and 3 finishing off right on the edge of some thick and punishing woods/shule effectively cutting the green in half. Then 6, 7, and 8 play on an unmaintained area with tall grass.

You'll find poorly marked natural tee pads, dilapidated signs, and a general lack of basic amenities

I was never sure where to park as the closest parking lot says reserved for staff. I pulled up to the dirt area near the old trailer at the entrance of the course area but worried the whole time that I was going to get towed. A marked parking area would be nice for some peace of mind.

As other reviews have pointed out, the course is in an ideal area to create your own safari course and ultimately, this is really just a big practice area. The open field is a great place to practice drives, there's enough baskets scattered around that you can throw at several of them placed around the field and then, for a fun challenge, run through the course and test yourself to get as many birds as possible.

While this is not a highly rated course, it is better than nothing and I'm sure the players who attend the school are glad they have somewhere to play. I was glad I was able to add another course to the list.

9 discatcher baskets.....

Signage is missing: No tee signs or navigational aids. I had to get the locals to help on half the holes.
Hole 5 had no tee at all, I never would have known where to throw from. I never did find the tee for 7.
Grass was shin high in some areas. On hole 8, I had to sprint after my drive to be my own spotter.

It took longer to find tee 1 and basket 1 than to play a similar 9 hole course. Unless you live on Campus or with in walkign distance, there is no reason to play here.

13 miles from Flyboy, Where do you think I am going to pick?

- The University of West Georgia disc golf course is located on a open field with beautiful scenery and little foot-traffic along the surrounding pathways and trails.
- The baskets are not is perfect condition but are in good working order and the grass is well maintained (in the fall and winter)
- Great for in-between class practice, and safari holes.

- Almost every hole, with the exception of about 1 hole, dog-legs to the right to some degree, making this a boring course if you play if frequently.
- There are no long holes, and everything can be played as a par three, though the last hole plays up hill and is more consistent with a solid par three hole.
- All dirt tee-pads, though on most holes, finding the pad can be a challenge.
- during the summer, maintenance lets all the brush and undergrowth grow so high, if you toss a disc into the woods, expect to look for a while and practically swim through thorns.
- One hole (#8) plays across a garden the university plants in the fall, and next to that are bees are kept. They will bother you if you bother them.

Overall, this is not a course i would drive more than ten minutes to play. It's saving grace is that the land it is on has so much possibility for neat safari holes and unofficial new holes. Playing backwards and from new tees is the way most students here play. It's nice for practice, but should not be considered if you are looking for a challenge or serious course.
