Virginia Wesleyan College 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 13, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

My three pros-

+Surprisingly nice signs showing hole info
+very easy flow, once i found the baskets it was easy to navigate as there are consistent little sign posts that are easy to spot from a distance
+pretty campus with nice landscaping

Cons:

My three cons-

-I parked at the nearby 'ebenezer baptist church' and walked across to the campus but once there i walked for another 20 minutes looking for the baskets. There was a nice landscaping guy who pointed me along the right way but the walk to find the course was exhausting.
-The first hole is somewhat blocked by overgrowth and kinda unplayable especially considering the heavy traffic walking paths around the basket; holes 2 and 3 were super close to a building and full parking lot along with more walking paths so there is some serious risk to hitting something. I was amazed how close the holes were to the building and parking lot, if the course got much usage id think broken windows would be very common. A couple holes couldve been longer such as #8 and one teebox is setup directly behind a huge climbing tower thing which creates an interesting obstacle but i doubt it was planned that way...
-the course is only supposed to be 9 holes and the 9th is missing

Other Thoughts:

I was without a phone when i played and had a strict 45 minutes to play so spending 20 minutes wandering the campus looking for the baskets was a downer. I did see a campus security guy while looking for the baskets but i just tried to blend in as a student and wasnt bothered. The campus is nice and felt tiny compared U. Texas where i went but i was quite jealpous tey had there own disc golf course. This course seemed like maybe an old class project and i could see it being phased out over time, though it could be really great with a few improvements.

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 16, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice easy course to play. Does not take alot of time to play a round. Hard to lose your disc. Not busy. Signage at the tee is good. Baskets in good shape. Easy access.

Cons:

1st hole has been removed, looks like a new memorial and landscaping has been done recently. Signage leading from one hole to another could be a little better. Just a little work would make this a fun daily course. No formal tee box but you can figure it out.

Other Thoughts:

Nice little course and fun, I think all skill levels would enjoy it. If you google "virginia wesleyan disc golf" the first link has a nice map of the course. We started at hole 2. Security van passed us and waved no problems at all. Did not run into the bike security which a previous review said they got kicked out.

Virginia Wesleyan 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 11, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Uncrowded, and by the looks of it, an unused course. Fun and close to metro area. I liked this course because it was a good way to get in a quick round or 2 without having to drive too far or wait to play due to crowds. Easy to park and walk to since you need a pass to park on campus.

Cons:

Only a 9 hole course with the first hole missing. There is some kind of a memorial where the first hole used to be. But we just used hole 9 for hole one since it was close. Also by the sounds of previous reviews it seems this course is open to the public as long as you park off campus and walk on...not the case! The first few times we played we saw campus security several times. They would wave to us and even say hello until we ran into a security officer on a bike. He stopped us and asked if we were students or in any way affiliated with the school. We said no and were asked to leave the campus because it is private property. There is no way of knowing this due to the lack of signs or fences . If you decide to try to play here, you will be asked to leave if you are not a student or have any affiliation with the school. Also when you look up this course on line, it is not listed as a private course which it should.

Other Thoughts:

This course needs to be listed as a private course. It is a fun and seldom used course. Good luck if you try to get on campus and play because you will be asked to leave by security.
