Out standing in the woods, that is. But, for what it is, The Yadkin Outback is a truly good, nine hole course. For my playing partner and I, it brought back nice, nostalgic memories of shooting at the tone poles with the straight down chains, which were the original targets on the main 18. Painting them bright orange is a very good thing, especially for the eyesight impaired.
Of course, the biggest Pro for the Outback is its adjacency to the main course. Having it take off from a point at almost exactly halfway through the main 18 is, in and of itself, excellent design.
The course overview sign, as it were, with its overhead view of the layout and its course rules of "Don't feed the ticks" and "Don't hit the trees; go around them" is outstanding, function-wise, fun-wise and otherwise.
Otherwise, signage is minimal, consisting of simple, but informative tee signs and directional arrows, often denoting distances and doglegs down the tightly technical fairways. With their assistance, navigation through this thick forest was easy peasy, making it a very nice walk in the woods..
Though number one is a mostly open, up-sloped green grass glen with some guardian trees as you approach the green and bordered by tree line on the left and forest on the right, where the next eight holes are, this is a heavily wooded course, which is not generally my cup of disc golf tea. But despite our mediocre scores, we truly enjoyed this course. Its relative shortness in hole lengths and being just nine holes probably contributed to that. The design does offer a variety of directional differentials, from left and right turning doglegs and curves, to holes, like number five, where you are admonished to just throw it straight. Number five IS a VERY tight, but well defined fairway, as all of the fairways through the forest are. Except at the end, there is not a lot of steep elevation change, which is, by and large, a good thing, especially for old legs and lungs. I'd call it moderately hilly, rather than very. And though it's labeled as a Red level course here, it is more of a solid, White level layout, like the main 18.
Trash cans and benches are placed throughout the layout and there was no litter to be seen. There were, as on the main course, a couple of pairs of benches, again, perhaps, for smoking/non-smoking or toking/non-toking. We especially appreciated the stadium style setting of the two benches at number nine.
Speaking of number nine, with its very functional and aesthetic tee pad of interlacing bricks, it is reminiscent of, but far superior to number nine at Northeast Park. Shooting across a deep, steep valley, with the target at a bit of a higher elevation than the tee, this is absolutely an outstanding side ending hole, that will put you right back to the course's beginning, right beside the main course's number nine tee, where we imagined most players would pick up this course. Though it would be a bit of a hike from and back to the parking lot to play this course alone, it's not all that much further than some others I've played, like Dorton, Creekside or Blacksburg.

The tees, though well marked with outlining timbers, are natural and can be pesky, especially, we imagined, if wet. If one through eight were like number nine, this would indeed be a very good, or even excellent nine hole course.
Some minor mowing and limb trimming would be helpful. Spring growth has greatly narrowed the fairway at the tee end of number nine and the little bit of slightly tall grass could contribute to feeding the ticks.

Again, Yadkin Outback brought back fond memories, hearing the magical music made by the tone poles, whether struck dead on solid, or just barely nicked.
