3.00 star(s) - The setting was gorgeous. You can see the mountains all around, and the creek that runs through the campus is pristine (not muddy at all). This is far and away the best perk about playing this course. - As you can see from the course map, the progression from hole to hole is very logical...

2.50 star(s) - This course had a laid-back feel to it, which was really kind of nice. Maybe that's due to the "retreat" aspect, but I really felt like I could play it at my own pace and not really get stressed out. It was a much more relaxing round than usual. - The flow was good. You don't have to walk...

4.00 star(s) A Tahoe adventure - What can I say about 27 holes? I'm not used to playing a course with a legit 27, so that is a major feather in Bijou's cap. - On a related note, you would almost expect that with 27 holes, they would start running together at some point, but I didn't find that to be the...

2.00 star(s) Deceptively difficult - Nice mix of difficult and easy holes. It keeps you on your toes a bit because you quickly go from wide-open shots (3 and 7) to tight, wooded shots (4 and 8). You can never get too comfortable playing here. - There are nice, long concrete tee pads for each hole, which...

1.00 star(s) Good for practice - Not much traffic. - You can play a quick 9 (or 18) in no time. - Great course to work on different shots. The hills can challenge your throws, especially when it gets windy (as it was the day I played). - Make sure you check out a course map beforehand or you'll be totally...

3.50 star(s) Addictive - Kilborne has a lot of variety, particularly since the baskets are moved from short to long positions throughout the year. Some courses have holes that aren't distinguishable - where many seem to run together - but Kilborne definitely isn't like that. Every hole stands apart. - The...

1.50 star(s) Easiest course I've ever played - Excellent course to work on midrange, putting, etc. You only need two discs (max) on this course. - This course is great for beginners, and a confidence-builder for anyone else. Lots of ace possibilities and birdie probabilities. - Whether you play 9 or 18...

2.00 star(s) - Davidson is certainly what you would call a technical course. It's short, but there are trees aplenty to keep it (mostly) interesting. This is NOT a course where you want to end up in the woods. It has the potential to be an easy course, but it can punish you in a heartbeat if you get off...

3.50 star(s) Reedy IS Charlotte disc golf - Reedy has variety and elevation, which are it's two strongest assets: - Although some holes are similar, each has a distinct flavor. Between the blind shots (6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 18), holes with water in play (numerous), drastic elevation changes (6, 14), and tight...

3.00 star(s) Charlotte's secret - Not crowded at all. I don't know if it's that people don't know about this course - or park - but it hardly ever has much traffic. - Very tightly-packed course. You never get too far away from the main road/parking area. I always consider that a plus because if the...

3.00 star(s) The potential is there... - Excellent course for short-game practice. Trees and other obstacles are laid out nicely to provide challenges without making the course impossible to play. - I actually thought most of the long tees provided a nice contrast compared to the short tees. The long tees...

4.50 star(s) A must-play - The natural beauty of this course cannot be overstated. The mountains alone add a scenic backdrop to just about any hole, but the view looking down on the pond was equally breathtaking. I can only imagine how it looks in the fall with the leaves turning or in the winter with some...

3.50 star(s) - As others have said, this course gets better as it goes. By about hole #6 on, the course started growing on me. - I really enjoyed the wooded holes. There was a lot of variety to those, and the creek running through many of those added a nice touch. - My favorite wooded hole was #12, which...

3.00 star(s) Fun, and great for practice - Great practice course. It's hillier than it seems at first glance, so the elevation helps test different throws. - It's definitely a fun course. #1 is a great hole to empty the bag, and #2 is a great ace hole. I always enjoy playing Mint Hill. - Not crowded at...

3.00 star(s) Variety - This course has great variety, as others have mentioned. You will get tested every time you play it. - Along with the variety, the Sugaw designers did a great job with basket placement. The baskets are positioned to test your accuracy. In particular, I think of holes like #10, #12...
