I want to start this review off by saying this course is rated high because it's EXACTLY what it's supposed to be - an easy, new 9-Hole course on brewery land where you can take Live Oak's canned beers onto the course and play some easy disc golf.

This is the main 'Pro' - you can grab 2 cans of their beer on-site, walk 100yds through the awesome courtyard and hit the 1st tee. From there, the course winds through the land behind the brewery. It's good for all skill-levels, has some good shot variety for experienced throwers, has 9 quality holes and 2 throw-ins for fun.

Now to the actual bullet review:

- Shot Variety - this course does have multiple shot angles, elevation changes and lengths for their holes. Multiple holes shoot up to a hill or from the top of a hill. This influences the length-feel as it adds an interesting extra amount of precision to hit the perfect spots on the course. Plus most holes have multiple routes to carve through to the baskets

- Throwing Lanes - many holes do have some technicality - whether it be a small tunnel or strong angle required. For how small some of the holes are, these add some difficulty to a few holes and it makes the course fun for experienced players to manipulate tons of shot attempts

- Clean - sometimes the grass gets a bit overgrown, but for the most part it's around a big field and playing in grass is always nice

- Seating - most holes have a place to sit and relax before teeing off once again. Since you're at the brewery, you may want to chill and enjoy some beer for a bit before playing. This course plays to that pace

- Pet-friendly - the brewery inside does not allows pets, but outside in the courtyard and on the course dogs are welcome. Course is dog-friendly

- Baskets - 9 of the baskets are Innova Discatchers and they're in great shape.

- Facilities - players can use the brewery's restrooms. There's plenty of water and shade to rest (and have a beer, of course) in between rounds

- Discs available for purchase in the brewery.

The cons come with a grain of salt - typically, these cons significantly dock a course's rating; however, as this course's purpose for now is as a good source of entertainment at a brewery, these are just some things I know they'll improve on but are currently lacking as compared to other courses in the area.

- Teepads - these are all just dirt patches with little to no signage as to where to go next. They're more than sufficient and usually well maintained, but often are just filled with bark.

- Signage - very, very lacking; however, the brewery will provide you with a course map and it's not a hard course to navigate whatsoever.

- Baskets - for now, 2 of the holes are non-permanent and are on old, rusted practice baskets. In the end, this isn't a big deal but worth noting while the course continues to grow and replaces these.

- Ants - many holes have random anthills, which can be a bummer if you get attacked

- Pedestrians - Many brewery goers elect to take their beverages and wander the campus. Sometimes they walk throughout the course. It can be a great opportunity to grow the sport!... but also the walkers can slow pace-of-play

I love this course. I always make an afternoon of coming to Live Oak to have some beers and play. I know our beer monies will go to growing the course (rumors are that they plan to expand to another full 9 holes in another adjacent piece of land...)

It's not a champion-grade course, but it's not meant to be yet. It's purpose of a great activity on a brewery campus is met and exceeded, and having 9 quality baskets and some cool holes makes this place well worth the visit.
