Great Course & Lots of Fun 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 1, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nice flow to the course and I believe it's well designed. Not very much walking between holes. There are a lot of different shots from some 350+ to some very short technical (holes 4 and 14). My favorite hole was #9 which is a 242 ft shot that's tucked away to the left and makes you hit a perfect high hyzer shot to drop it right in there. 13-18 should be called birdie alley since they are all pretty easy shots except for #15 which is easy to reach but beware of the downhill slope where the basket is located and there's a creek right behind it.

Cons:

Natural tee pads are hard to throw off. The only area I found difficult to navigate was between 13 and 14 - tip - after #13 keep right around the loop and then head left into the woods near the cabin to the left.

Other Thoughts:

All in all this is a fun course to play, it's no championship caliber course but if it's fun disc golf you are looking for with an absolute beautiful scenery this is a great place to play.

Be ready to cross over a small water bridge in your vehicle so I suggest to bring your truck or SUV instead of a car cause the roads are a bit rough. They have free WiFi at the Outpost where you begin at hole #1. If you want a nice picture with the mountains in the background do so on basket #18 over by the Outpost. I spoke with a guy that worked there and he said that they were looking at re-designing a few holes because some of the shots are too close to some cabins and roads.

good course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 26, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Wide open course with a few wooded shots. The course plays around a large retreat so there is also other stuff to do there. The first hole is near the last hole so not alot of backtracking invovled. Course hole length varies from as short as 200 to close to 400, some easy and some are herder because of location of pin. But that adds to the challenge. Also the course is fairly flat so not a lot of elevation change.

Cons:

Natural teepads, which in the setting of woods actually isn't much of a con. 2 holes are hard to find, but you do get a map so not impossible to find. Alot of other people out doing other things can make you take some off your shot czusing it to be in 4 shots instead of 3. And a few holes are way to short in my opinion. Also a few pins are located to close to cabins for my comfort.

Other Thoughts:

Over all this a nice course. It is private but open to public. Me and my family chose to make a day of it up there in case we drove up there and they say we couldn't play. But they didn't. They were very nice employees who seemed to make you as welcome as the ones who pay to stay. We had so much fun up there that we are planning a vacation there soon so we can play more and also enjoy some of the other stuff like rock climbing, canooing, horseback riding, sking, swimming, camping, and much more.

disc golf and rafting! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 17, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good variety of shots: anhyzer, hyzer, downhill, blind shots, uphill, open, and wooded. Nice signage and a nice scorecard you can pick up in the main outpost.

Cons:

Tee pads are natural, which some people don't like. In the middle of the summer there can be a lot of campers passing through the course on the way to activities.

Other Thoughts:

Whitewater Express has camping and cabin rentals on site. Great place to spend the weekend playing disc golf in the mountains. You can also whitewater raft on the Ocoee River, ride horses, climb the ropes course, play paintball, or mountain bike as well.
