Pros:
The middle holes were very picturesque as a creek runs through the center of the course. Provides a tranquil and serene experience.
The fairways are cleared and well defined on most holes, as the underbrush is cleared.
While the course has no tee pads, they were flat with no real root or uneven tee area issues.
Each pathway was bordered by tree limbs - a nice appeal to the natural feel of the course - as much as a guide to the next tee.
It is brand new, so baskets are in excellent condition.
Cons:
No signs - no tee signs, no next hole signs, no signs stating that the course is there. It is fairly easy to navigate if you have the map, but still would improve the experience much more.
There is a cross country path that goes around the course - some errant throws (long or tree hits) might interfere with runners on the trail, but seems like that would be a rare occurrence.
Some of the creek crossings are a little treacherous (#3 for example) - looks like a log bridge might be in the works there though. You have your typical NC hazards - briers, ticks and possibly some snakes, due to the creek holes.
The course is still maturing, so foot traffic and ceiling cutaways will help with it's development, but it does have that raw feel and some throws will be affected by low ceilings.
Other Thoughts:
Charles did an absolutely great job with the amount of land and terrain he had to work with and the layout of the holes.
The course is short. I didn't find this a con, but it is a variable that keeps it from a high rating as well. This is billed as a short wooded course and fits that designation.
This is a dense forest, so there are many tight fairways and a few blind dog legs.
Orange pads are, basically, a green-level course. Black pads are, seemingly, for intermediate players - not tough, but offers some tight shots, especially in the final holes. Tees are defined with black or orange squares on white rocks. Signs (tee, next hole and that a course exists on Campbell) would move this up to a 3 disc rating.
From a Raleigh perspective, this is a fun round for some ace runs or to work on your woods game. If you are on the south or east side of Raleigh, and Cornwallis is farther away, then this is your woods option. No other decent courses in the area (Jack Marley Park is a joke) hurts this course's usage - although that might be a positive for locals.
