Pros:
Unique green DISCatchers, not sure if they are the school colors or not, but they look good.
Basic tee signs, with hole, par and distance, both if there are two tees.
Many different types of holes, open, heavily wooded, moderately wooded.
Holes are on mostly unused parts of the campus. They don't cross, or border, any campus roads or sidewalks. On a couple of holes, if you are really wild, you could affect others, but it would be rare.
Nice job of having 18 finish right back where you started, not always an easy thing on a campus course. This one circles the entire campus.
Beautiful scenery, not just the surrounding mountains, but the pond and mill at the start and end of the course.
Cons:
Gravel tee pads, but overall, they were in decent shape.
Several really short holes, they were pretty technical, a few needed more clearing. #10, on a sidehill, with thick rough - #12 short downhill, hyzer shot, with no clear fairway - #14, tight drive with weeds and underbrush on both sides.
Most of the walks between holes were fine, 9 to 10, 11 to 12 and 15 to 16 were kind of tough. Use the map on UDisc.
Other Thoughts:
I really enjoyed playing the course, the variety of holes, nice elevation changes, usage of all parts of the campus and oh that finish, three really good holes in a picturesque setting. In fact, some days that could be a problem, there may be too many walkers and picture takers around to play those holes.
For a course with natural tee pads, and several short, too thick of rough holes, there were quite a few that you will remember after your round:
#1 - you see it as you pull onto campus, park right there, and a nice long, side hill hole in the open, nice grass slope.
#2 - we've played tunnel shots before, especially through pine trees here in NC, this one is a pine tree tunnel, straight up a 25-30 hill!
#6 & 7 - wooded holes, but not too tight and no underbrush.
#8 & 9 - moderately wooded holes, on grass in the front of buildings, 9 gives you two lines to choose from, down to a depression with the basket on the edge of the hill.
Then, the final 3:
#16 - kind of a tight drive, with a low ceiling to a fast green on the side of a hill, plays right past the campus garden.
#17 - probably the Signature hole of the course, tee off next to the pond, pretty close to the restored Mill, then a 250' hole that hyzers around the lake. Trees around the bank to prevent short cuts and wide open fairway for a safe place to drive.
#18 - downhill, mostly wide open that funnels down between large trees.
Before teeing off on 18, I spent some time talking to a walker about the game and even showed him the different discs. I think he was impressed that all weren't the same frisbees. Kind of nice to linger a little bit in that setting, almost didn't want to leave.
With a little more work, this could be a better course, still limited by several short holes, but still a lot of fun to play. Very easy to access off Hwy 74 in Canton, if you are in the Smokeys!!
