Winthrop University DGC! Wow! Of course, there's not many things I can say about this course that hasn't already been said, but I will give it a try. So when I played the course, I didn't get to play the full USDGC layout, although I will make it back to play this layout at some point. I played the Lakefront layout which is much better suited for amature disc golfers like myself. However, in this layout, several of the holes are the same, or shortened versions, of what you see during the USDGC so we still got to see a ton of the prestigious design. The layout of this course has a great mix of open and wooded areas and of course some outstanding elevation changes. This particular layout had a mix of concrete tees and turf tees which can be tricky alternating between, but honestly not that big of a deal. From beautiful open fairways, to tight wooded lines and tricky water holes, this course has it all. If you are anywhere near the area, this is a must play course! Give the Lakefront layout a try if you are looking for a more casual disc golfer type course and if you really want to test your disc golf game, take on the USDGC layout! Either way, you are going to have a blast! If you want to see the Lakefront layout on video, please consider checking out these videos that I filmed there:

very very very fun. if you dont have the energy to throw over 500ft all day you can still get some winthrop dg

people sit and walk all over course. the longest hole they lay a blanket down and sit on the fairway.

dont lose your discs

This place was beautiful. Long gorgeous throws. Plays around the lake. Extremely well kept. Challenging, even in the short "Lakefront" layout.

There was an angry Mutant Duck that chased us around most of the course. It was really messed-up looking and sounded like it had asthma.

This is disc golf the way it should be. In a picturesque outdoor setting. I love the tee on the hill ( I think its around hole 6)where you're throwing downhill from under a couple of trees out into an open field. Gorgeous shot. I would brave the asthmatic duck monster any time just to play this course. On a side note, my buddy tried flicking his putter through a crack in the bamboo fence on one hole. he lost his putter in the drink. We have teased him about it ever since because really, who loses their putter by flicking it through a bamboo fence and watching it sail into the drink.
