(2.766 Rating) A medium length course with water in play on most holes.
- EXHILARATION - Every time I throw over the abyss, I get an adrenaline rush. Thus on this course, where the water comes into play 16 times!!! I felt I could lift a car off the ground post round. A couple throws were a bit too hair raising for me, so I played a safety lay-up a couple times from the long tees, but several were a ton of fun to throw. Hole (17) was personally the most rewarding. A true island green with water on all four sides. Carding a birdie on this hole was my highlight moment of the work trip.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - In addition to the exhilaration factor, water always seems to add a little bit of natural bliss to a course layout. I really liked the looks on hole (5) with the basket located in a little jut out into the lake. A few holes later, hole (10) is a striking full length easy water clear shot. Overall I thought only a couple holes were average looking, while the rest were above that notion. There is a little detraction with the amount of manmade structures in view the entire round. Plus numerous park facilities are not in good shape.
- CHALLENGING - Several holes will take a lot of trust in one's own confidence. It felt like a solid Intermediate level course post play considering the amount of placement and shot shaping requirements to stay dry. Advanced players who excel in these aspects will murder the course and could average 10 down or so.
- NAVIGATION - Getting around was decent. Big course map posted near tee (1) and also a second time near basket (13). I'd take a picture of it as the layout snakes around a bit. There are a couple navigational signs as well in the trickier spots. These signs however are falling apart.
- TEES AND CHAINS - Good sized concrete tees with two of them on nine holes by my count. DISCatcher baskets in relatively good condition.
- PARK AMENITIES - On the non disc golf related front, there are big shelters and large playground areas in the park. I saw restrooms in a couple spots and there is a tranquil small walking trail threw a heavily wooded area that I hoped a basket was in. There was not.

Prepare to be wet.
- LOST DISC POTENTIAL - The odds of losing a disc here is substantially higher than the typical course. As noted above, water comes into play 16 times. Sure, some of these holes it will take a major error to end up wet, but there are seven or eight tee shots where the water plays a major impact. I almost lost a disc on hole (5), but since it was only 20 feet in and shallow, I took off my shoes and socks and walked in to grab it.
- SAFETY HAZARDS - The amount of interaction between the general park activity and the course is too great imo. Walking paths come in to play numerous times and it's even blind on (12). Several holes and tees are also very close together. Daydreaming players on (6) could get pegged from tee shots on both (4) and (5).
- TEE SIGNAGE - Several tee signs are now in bad shape. Some sun exposed ones are completely faded while a few others are rotted or broken. They need to be replaced.
- FLAT - Florida flat. Maybe 12 feet of grade change on the entire layout. Hole (18s) mound at the end felt like mountains considering the run of glass-flat terrain shots on the dozen or so prior holes.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - Ha. This course is not going to grow the sport. One-disc Beginners playing here will lose their disc before the end of the round.

It felt like I was back in Florida when playing this course with its flat terrain, constant water element and general park activity along the field of play. I personally like water plays so I felt right at home here. This course however is not going to be kind to many players and I doubt its produced many addicts considering the disc loss potential. For veteran players traveling along I95 I'd say this is a decent and possibly entertaining pit stop. Likely not a destination course beyond a 45-minute drive.
- TIME PLAY - 64 minutes for me solo. This includes a 1,000 foot trek back to (5) where I forgot to retrieve my bogey putt sitting in the basket.

I've put off writing my review for Luther Britt. On one hand, this is a near-excellent, challenging & uncommon layout. It's also maddeningly frustrating. Prepare to be confused.
- At its peak, this course is as good as Trophy Lakes in Charleston, SC. One of the two courses to best incorporate water making for a challenging round.
- Water comes into play on 14 of 18 holes. A fair amount of holes, the water is more of a mental block than a realistic challenge. Unless you fishhook a tee shot 90 or 180 degrees off line. Of course, on a windy day, the water is in play on all of those holes.
- They get the worst hole out of the way immediately. Take your easy 3 / birdie run on a simple straight ahead layout. It gets tougher from here.
- #4 from the longs is a fun one to air out a tee shot. Wide open, 449 foot, slightly downhill shot over a nasty looking canal. Put it this way. My disc splashed down in the canal. A non-floater disc....and it did not sink. I could see it 20 feet away....and there was no way I would step foot in that canal. Lesson learned. Don't leave your golden retriever at home.
- #5's basket is picturesque, and challenging too. On a peninsula, it's the first of many shots that challenging one's willingness to be aggressive versus playing extremely safe. That 125 foot approach shot suddenly seems nerve-wracking, especially after having just lost a disc on the previous hole.
- The course weaves counterclockwise around the lakes. As such, a good many holes dogleg/fade off to the right. Extremely beneficial for LHBH or RHFH throwers.
- #11, and 14, and 15 are holes that seemingly have the hardest landing zones with either narrower landing zones, most exposure to the lake, or highest risk of wind coming into play.
- #17 is going to be a love it or hate it layout. You'll either want to throw multiple discs to the island green or you'll play the short tees, or skip it entirely. Nobody will play here and not remember the island hole.
- You like to gamble? This is the course for you. Tremendous risk/reward factor on many holes. Take the water out of the equation, and this is a ho-hum design. We'd all be taking dead aim at the baskets. Instead, you're left assessing how confident you are in your arm, your nerves, and the wind that may not be felt until your disc leaves your hand.
- There is a shorter/easier layout. This layout does take water out of play on additional holes, making this an easier, more enjoyable stroll around the lakes.

This is not a beginner friendly course. This is not a good course for a quick round.
- Here's my thought about the course. You're a couple hundred feet from I-95 here. If you're travelling up or down 95, this is a great place (in theory) to stop and stretch your legs. As such, if you throw a disc in the water, you're not going to retrieve it. You're not coming back later to fish it out.
- There's no sense of a local disc golf club being involved with this course. Were this course as well maintained as Trophy Lakes, or a part of a big club, a la the Charlotte DGC, I know any disc in the water may find its way back to me. I had 3 discs land in the water. Two got blown off line by strong crosswinds. After the third (and best) disc ended in the lake, I finally had to go in and retrieve it. At least this one was in clean, clear water.
- I don't like playing courses where more than 75% of holes involve water and I know any disc in the water is gone unless I retrieve it myself. Shoutout to Trophy Lake and other courses that have dedicated divers.
- I tried to contact the Lumberton DGC and found out there seemingly isn't one. I found its FB page, left a message, and got a 'this page is not monitored' default message. Nearly a month later, I still haven't gotten a response. That's why I don't like the idea of losing a disc on potentially nearly half of my throws on the course.
- Water aside, navigation/signage could be better. In several spots, multiple holes cluster together. After #4, you walk past #7's tee to get to #5. After #11, it wouldn't be hard to go straight to #14 because the tee for #12 is a pain trying to spot.
- Tees need working on. Not the best.

I think Luther Britt has a great layout. It's a great challenge that requires players to be on their game for nearly every single shot. I think the support, or lack thereof, going into this course is what hurts its appeal and overall quality.
- There is a lack of overall variety. The dogleg/fade right holes along the water all have a general common feel to them. Throw straight or slightly right 250 - 300 off the tee and you just avoided the water. Congrats! Take your par 3 and do it again. And again. And again.
- It's a long walk around the two lakes to play this course. Don't get to #16 and realize you left a disc back on #4 or 7. When you look at a map, it's impressive they were able to fit a full 18 in here with so little land actually available.
- That said, it would be nice to see another wooded/non-water hole or two, especially on the back nine.
- #18 is an odd closing hole. After longer and/or water holes, having a 249-foot open hole in a field is just....different. At least you're not going to lose a disc here.
- If I felt confident a lost disc was going to be returned, I'd bump my rating up at least a half point. This is close to being as good as Trophy Lakes in terms of the course itself, nothing more. This would be in the 3.5 - 4.0 range due to all its positives. Due to the negatives, I'm giving this a 3.0. And I suspect many who've played here will think it's far worse than that.

The only other "water course" I've played is Buckhorn, and it has 6 water holes. Britt has *14* water holes. This is one of the most unique and fun courses I've played.

- Island green #17, a great signature hole.
- Mostly open, but still a few tight woods holes.
- One of the best risk/reward courses I've played.
- You really have to think about how to approach some of the water holes: go for the basket? Play it safe? Hyzer towards the water? Flick over the water, but fading shoreward? I love courses with multiple ways to play holes.

The lakes are nice, but the park itself isn't all that aesthetically pleasing. Just average in the scenery department.

I agree with previous reviews about the layout favoring lefties and flick throwers, but this isn't much of a con, to me. Just throw it straight or direct your hyzers further away from the water and you're fine. Simple!

p.s. I lost one disc here.

I played Britt with a thunderstorm about to roll in, so the wind was kicking up and the waves made the water holes even more intimidating. The setting was great. No course traffic whatsoever when I played. No complaints other than the lost disc. I will definitely plan a stop here the next time I'm traveling down I-95.

-2 Tee boxes for almost every hole.
-Hole 17 is a particularly nice looking hole. Shoot across the pond to a small island.
-Clean park
-Nice concrete tee pads, and discatcher baskets.

-Too many holes follow the shorelines of the 2 ponds. I drowned 3 discs, but only managed to recover one. I blame myself mostly since I chose to take the shots but having half of your holes have shots over water is tough.
-The fairways also intersect too much with the public walking paths in the park. I went on a Monday at 11am, and the 2 of us were the only disc golfers, but there was a bunch of times we had to wait for people just crossing with no care in the world.
-One of the ponds is a sewage pond or something, because it smelled pretty rank. The other one allowed swimming and was fine though.
-Hole 16 also has some wicked pine trees just before the basket that like to grab discs and hold them up high out of reach.

-Usually Par 3 courses are on the easier side. Help newcomers get into the sport. Even though most of the alternate tee boxes skipped throwing directly over water, I feel it would still be a little too close for comfort for beginners.
-Not a bad course, but I don't think I'll make the 1 hour drive from Wilmington just to play it again.

- Sweet atmosphere. The park itself is really nice, offering a playground, picnicking, walking/biking trails, and plenty of scenery to enjoy around the several acres of land it occupies. When I played in Spike Hyzer's Sink or Swim tournament this year I even saw people on horseback. In short, there is plenty for others to do while you play your round(s) if they're not into hucking the plastic.

- Nerve-racking design (but in a good way). Despite being mostly wide-open, this course will test your accuracy. Being set around two large ponds/lakes, water is in play on nearly every hole which, if you value your discs, will make you seriously evaluate each shot. Even when you're playing the few holes away from the ponds, there is still a canal that runs behind the course you have to throw over or avoid; although the elevated tee on #4 is a real bastard that seems to dare you to take a run at it. As a relatively new player, the anxiety caused by the prospect of drowning a new G-Star Tern in the drink can either settle you down to ensure every shot is on point or work your psyche into a frenzy that results in grip-lock or early release. The woodlands, though relatively sparse, are challenging themselves due to the clearly defined fairways they outline. They offer a nice change from the bombs you'll throw most of the day, encouraging you use both your brawn and your brain. The pins on the peninsula and island holes are exceptionally well placed and really motivate you to play them well, if only to make sure you don't bring home a light bag.

- Easy navigation. The flow of the course is logical and the sensible tee & pin placements offer a natural progression to your round. Teepads feature signs that indicate your target and the organic flow to the course leaves little doubt as to where you'll be teeing off from next once you sink your putt.

- Picturesque. It's tough for a relatively flat, open course to be really pretty, but Luther Britt dresses up nice. It's not going-to-church-Sunday-morning-in-Atlanta dressed up, but it's very peaceful and the local club members take good care of it. Being so large and set around two huge ponds it gives a real feeling of tranquility despite being at a public course. Mornings and late afternoons are particularly charming.

- Good equipment. The well-kept Discatcher Pros are forgiving enough and the concrete teepads support your wound-up, full-force drives without fear of slippage.

- EXTREMELY lefty/flick friendly. Playing counter-clockwise around the ponds nurtures left-handers and those who can flick with serious snap. On the majority of holes RHBH'ers are fairly limited to throwing understable discs they can easily turn without fading too much. Because of the course dynamics any RHBH shot that doesn't stay straight is liable to end up in Davy Jones' locker.

- Benches....there are very few. The long walks around the ponds would make having some on at least every other tee a nice amenity. Especially when the water's up and the tee boxes and fairways get overly sloppy.

- VERY breezy. Being such an open course it's hard to fault it for wind and barometric pressure, but as we all know wind can make your disc do unexpected things, which only adds to the angst of throwing so close to, over & around water.

- Pedestrians/potential danger. Because it's such a nice park there are bound to be plenty of patrons on nice days when disc golfers tend to flock to the course. The walking paths run right down some of the fairways and the bike lanes route parallel to many of them. Kids and joggers are often in the way and there are no signs (that I saw) that indicate the potential danger of flying discs. Golfers need to be mindful of this and take steps to ensure that they're playing safely.

- No topless Hooters girls frolicking along the #8 fairway.

Overall, Luther Britt is a pretty darn good course. It's unique and a nice change from the wooded courses you often see in North Carolina where power takes a back seat to technique. Here you can really air it out while still very much needing accuracy to finish even. It can be very frustrating too if, like me, you have a noodle arm and an unpredictable forehand. Nevertheless, Luther Britt is definitely worth playing. It's not my favorite by any means, but I'll be back to play again and encourage y'all to check it out.

The best "water" course I've played yet. If you have some floating discs or some throwaways, it's a great time. Only twice do you HAVE to throw over water (#10 and #17), so you can play it safe if you want. Good mix of holes. Nice park in general.

The water is a factor--even on a good day you may lose a disc, so this is not a course you could play aggressively very often. Water was very high when we played, which made for some messy fairways.

Super fun course, but is more of a novelty in my opinion. They don't let you jump in after your discs so if you catch a bad roll, you're out $15! Really unique and a good time though.

Really nice course, just off the highway, set around two lakes. And by around two lakes I mean around two lakes. Play circles each of them in turn, meaning water is in play on almost every hole. It is relatively easy to stay out of, as most pins aren't too close to the edge, and from the white tees, it should be no trouble to stay out of the drink. It does offer some memorable holes where the lake is certainly in play. 5 plays to a peninsula green, with the blue tee directly across the water and the shore line to the left of the carry. It should be fun whether played or gone directly at the pin. The other obvious great one is 17. The island hole. It's not a particularly long carry, but there's just something about playing to an island. It definitely just looks cool for one. I have to imagine that walking across the bridge to get the green plays into the effect though. It could be knowing that not only do you have to make it over the water, you can't go too far either because of how islands and having water on multiple sides and such. Really fun hole though.

Two of the better holes don't even feature water at all. 2 and 6 give the course a little surf and turf feel. Both are tight holes down very narrow fairways. It's not a wooded area, but the trees on these two holes from precise lines to throw down. It's a great change-up to throw something like that when flight path doesn't matter on the majority of the holes here. The other memorable hole is 4 which sorta employs water. The tee is elevated on a long dike. It throws from the high point over a canal and then over a large flat space to a tee tucked into the woods. It's not the most challenging hole on the course but aesthetically, it's second only to 17.

For as much water as there is here, it's not often used in fun/creative ways. There are three straight holes where the tee is by the water and the basket just ahead and to the right. For a RHFH player, or anyone that can throw straight, the water might as well not be there. The 9 tee is on a small peninsula and its impossible not to think that it should have been the basket location for 8. It would have been a little bit similar to 5 but it would have been in the opposite direction. There is also that long walk between 14 and 15, in the middle of that long unused stretch there's an awesome spot where a corner of the lake could be thrown over. I'm guessing it's not used because there's some picnic tables in the area? I feel like picnic tables aren't that hard to move though and it's not like more than half of the holes here don't throw over areas that non golfers are using.

That's the other thing. There is a walking path and it was mostly empty on the Friday morning that I was there but with people walking, fishing and apparently riding horses, a ton of fairways traverse areas that are used for other activities. This could potentially be a nightmare of having to wait on path-users to clear holes or having to skip holes entirely. (I did have to skip one. After teeing of in the general direction, and looking confusedly for the several minutes, I realized that it was directly behind (one foot about) the SUV that someone had driven down the path.)

I also feel that the holes are crammed in a bit around the first lake and then spread out too much around the second. One of which is 15, a strange hole that parallels a fence on the other side of which is a working warehouse. There's this wonderful location, and all of this natural OB in the form of two massive lakes and after walking around a third of one of them since the last hole, the next hole is laced near this fence?

In any case, there is a ton of water here, but partly due to the shape of the lake(too wide to carry, few nooks) it's not used very interestingly during most holes. At least in the standard layout. From others comments, another layout is sometimes used and I could see that being fantastic. I'm guessing this layout does something like removing the short and unnecessary 1, combining the stretch of similar short holes into one long one, etc. Moving pins and/or tees to use the water more could make this a great place to play.

This course is situated around two lakes with water coming into play on nearly every hole.

Risk reward- the holes are usually situated where you have to throw an anhyzer over the water, or you can be safe and throw a righty hyzer to the right and steer clear of the lake. Most of the water holes, if you come up short or throw long. You might find yourself swimming.

Navigation- next tee signs were helpful, most of the next tees were located relatively close to the previous basket.

Multiple tees- twos sets of concrete tees, the longer tees having bigger concrete tees. The tee signs were located at the long tees, but from most of the short tees you were able to see the holes basket.

Fun factor- this was a very fun course to play, but i could see a newbie getting very frustrated seeing their discs hyzering out towards the water

Favorite holes-
2- interesting tunnel shot. It is a turnover for a RHBH player.
4- tee off from a big hill, over a canal to a basket tucked into the woods.
5- 300 feet all over water to a basket located on a peninsula
6-another tight turnover shot this one is a sweet tunnel shot through a row of pin trees.
17- probably the coolest disc golf hole that i have ever played. It is a short hole only 265, entirely over water, to an island, the basket is 40 feet from the water tucked into a row of pine tres with water another 40 feet behind

Safety issues- some holes play over walking paths and play close to playgrounds. Errant throws on some holes when there are alot of people playing could result in someone getting hit. I could see this place getting very crowded during the summer, because there is a beach and it seems like bosta would be in the water.

RHFH or lefty friendly, most of the shots require a right turn especially over the water.

Huge chance of losing discs-the shorter tees will provide some relief from this, but a beginer could get very frustrated seeing their discs hyzering out towards the water

Great stop if driving up I-95

This course is offers very good signage,easy flow, great tee pads to throw from, easy access from I-95. Plenty of holes to air out your long game and just a few holes that have tree lined fairways.

I cant think of anything bad about this course other than maybe painting a spoke on the basket that points to the next tee-pad

A fast round here if you need to stop as my wife and I done to stretch out, we did see only one problem here and that was that the service road that circles the ponds here did have cars parked olong side the road

Full 18 hole course playing around a couple small lakes and a canal. Some of the largest and nicest tee pads you will find.

Even though there is a lot of water, don't let it scare you. For the most part you can play safe here if you don't like to risk losing discs. If you enjoy the shots over or near the water then this will be a treat for you.

Mostly open holes. A change of pace from most NC courses.

Good use of the water and what little elevation there is. One tee is up on a small hill so you can throw down over the canal. One basket is placed on another hill making the green a little dangerous for roll-aways.

Short and long tee pad positions. The shorts are marked, but are not huge concrete like the longs.

Signs at pads showing distance and hole layout.

Kind of boring if you like to shape lines and use accuracy. Most of the holes are open with little obstructions.

People fish around the lakes. I was forced to skip hole 5 due to about 10 people along the fairway and near the basket. This probably just depends on luck and timing.

Very RHFH friendly and straight shot friendly. Not many places where you are forced to make a disc bend to your will. Throw straight and long, or straight with a little right fade and you're good.

When I played this course some of the baskets were in a temporary long position for an upcoming tourney. It made the navigation a little more challenging, and the tee signs inaccurate. Normally this seems like a very easy course to find your way around.

While there wasn't a ton of really fun holes here, there is some challenges. You need to navigate the water holes without shanks or roll aways. There is also some trees by a few holes to make the approaches difficult.

#6 is a classic pine tree tunnel. 264' of tight bark for your enjoyment.

#12 and #15 have enough trees in the fairway or by the basket to force some accuracy. If you aren't careful there will be no birdie opportunity.

#17 has to be the signature hole. Tee of from the main land, and get to a basket sandwiched in the pine trees on an island. Not a huge throw, but a great looking hole, and fun to play.

If you're driving up or down 95 this course is definitely worth a stop. If is very different from other NC courses so give it a try.

I ran into Bravethrower out there, and it seems there are some good plans for improvements also. With a a few tweaks this could be a very nice course.

this course is a fun throw. lots of open bombs, and plenty of water to get you in trouble. not much in the way of elevation, 2 pads for most holes.good signage to guide you along the course.

there was a ton of flies and knats the day i went, the walk from 14 to 15 was pretty long,

there is alot of water at this course but you can avoid it pretty easily. wind could be a factor too, but all in all a good course to play on the way to the beach

Multiple tees for differant skill levels. Shorter tees make the water less intimidating on most of the water holes

open course with a few wooded holes to start off and even a unique Island hole #17

Well maintained by the Lumberton DGA

On a sunny day this is a beautiful course to play

Water....Tons of it. This course is not for beginers for the pure fact that they WILL lose plastic.

Long walk from 14-15. It's necessary because of the layout of the park (ampitheatre, boat ramp, Playground) but it still takes away from the flow of the course when you have a long walk between holes.

The course isn't that hard for the average players and up if you can get over the intimidation the water brings. On a windy day it can become much tougher.

Ldga is adding baskets for the upcoming PDGA event that are even more water happy and would make the course VERY hard

Overall I like this course but i do not like losing discs. If you are prepared to risk your plastic or go swimming you'll probably enjoy this course more

Addition: The Win or swim layout is a bear! The LDGA is rotating some of the basket positions from time to time and I will try and keep it updated. If you are out there you can see where the alternate placements are by the White buckets that stick out of the ground.

Brief description of the holes that are different when in swim layout:

Hole 2: The Alternate basket is moved farther to the right by about 120ft and makes the anhyzer line much tighter. There are more trees between you and the basket OB Fence to the right and a Steep drop off to the left to a creek.

Hole 3. The hole is moved across the Creek on the dike to the right of the original pin making it a much longer shot and likely a par 4 from the longs. OB water Right of the basket.

Hole 4: One is right on the edge of the dike making it a "death putt" type green with the creek behind.

Hole 5: Penesula hole is made harder as the moved 25 ft right to where it is almost touching the edge of the lake. Don't miss your putt!!

Hole 10: The Basket is moved across the creek to the dike. It is a ways down the dike across the bridge.

hole 14: The basket is moved past the peninsula about 150ft+ to the skinny part of land. Very small landing zone with water on the left. Possibly a par 4

Hole 16: The basket is moved about 120ft straight back from the tee.

Hole 17: The Island Hole. The basket is moved to the far right side of the island making it a bear! position is really close to the bridge.

If the hole locations are changed i will attempt to keep them updated on here.

A great walk around and between two lakes. Good signage but some distance between last hole and next tee. Two tees and both concrete. Play short tees and be good. Play long tees and you better be good. Because of counter clock wise layout around lake a right hander with a good tomahawk might do well.

Other than gap from one to the other none.

Beautiful day with 20 mph wind. On two holes I thought I could reach, 1pen. 1 island, lost two discs. I can buy my replacements at Dick's for less than $20 dollars. Saw no reason to go in deep water. Pretty lakes and restrooms on premises. Good fishing in lake according to locals. Isn't disc golf wonderful? I have 5 discs in my bag costing less than $75 dollars total and have yet, but may sometime, paid a greens fee. My friend has $1500 tied up in clubs and pays $35 to $100. No wonder this sport keeps growing. If coming down I-95 you are within 1/4 mile of course. Suggest stopping strongly at least once.

great course with even better friendly locals
not that hard of a course water can be avoided

they have 3 or 4 holes that have no water and no lack of water
stood waiting for my disc to come back and it didn't, usually doesn't when 40' out in there. rest in piece sidewinder.

best course i ever played with this much water
don't be scared, be dry

I like the entire course from the distance and open drives down to the semi tight holes through the woods. Mando holes are always a favorite. The tee boxes are awesome regardless of skill. Their club is very organized, and course is well maintained.

water, its everywhere.

all the wide open shots make for some very nicelay ups and the course itself from the white tees is an easy par, the greens are more challenging but as long as you stay dry you should enjoy yourself and still come out with a good score.

Challenging course from the long tees, a lot of 300'+ throws. Much easier from the shorts. All holes are Par 3's. Concrete tees, two tees for every basket, great tee signs. Beautiful park. Permanent Rest Rooms. Playground for the kiddies, walking trail for the family, fishing for fish and/or discs. Great use of water to create risk/reward on most tee shots. Easy navigation, except for #15. Course is clean and well-maintained. Good use of the elevation available. Good work to make the short tees and the long tees play very differently. the signature hole is #17, a 200'+ throw to an island green. Very nice.

Water. The course plays counter-clockwise around two lakes, so the predominate throw for a rightie will be flicks, thumbers and anhyzers. So it gets a little repetitive. I throw LHBH so it was a pleasant day in the park for me. My RHBH and RHFH playing partner was a little frustrated by all the flick shots off the tee. Another thing, be careful of pedestrians. There is a walking trail/road that runs around the lakes, along with the course. Make sure to check your flight path for walkers before you throw. I would have liked some Par 4's or 5's. For longer-throwing players, this will be a pitch-and-putt. It seems like they have the space for this.

If you don't have a good flick or annie, play the short tees. Bring a floater. Be warned, that these lakes are not pleasant. They are green and mucky, so if you are planning on fishing your disc out of the lake, be prepared to go knee-deep in muck, chest-deep in water. That's not a negative, but worth mentioning. The lake gets deep fast. I know because I fished a disc out. I have played the course in the summer, and it can be hot. There isn't much shade while playing around the lake. Bring a hat and sunscreen. The wind can be a factor, which adds to the challenge. Overall, I like the park. I travel about two hours to play here. There is an active club that supports the course. It is a great course and definitely worth the trip. If you haven't played this course, you're missing a treat.

Challenging, interesting, good signage, and multiple tees.
Hole 17 is a clear signature hole over water onto a tree covered island.
Signs everywhere warning people to watch out for flying discs.
Several risk vs. reward opportunities with baskets sitting near the water line, or surrounded by water on 3 sides. Hole 18 tries to utilize some elevation requiring an up putt to sink your final shot.

1 starts off close to the playground and a parking lot, so too far in either direction will get you in trouble. Risk of disc loss is extreme. I threw a dolphin and a dragon for 90% of the course. Hole 15 was hard to find, the sign telling you where the tee was located was 600 feet from basket 14.
A couple was sitting on the tee for hole 8 and there was a lot of other traffic on a Tuesday afternoon. 2 holes appear to have you throw risky shots to get to the basket (11 and 15) If you throw towards the wrong basket you will lose your disc needlessly, on both holes the disc is tucked into some brush out of sight on the right.

Course flow could be difficult, but currently signs guide you to the next hole pretty well, so it is not an issue.
If you type Branch St. instead of Branch road your navigator will take you to an old man's house whom coincidentally has the last name Britt

I think this course has the most potential to be great than any other I have played.
Lots of risk/ reward with the numerous water holes here.
Easy to follow the course and was easy to find since it was just off of I-95.
There are some really challenging and fun holes here including a shot across water onto an island.
-multiple tees
-easy to navigate
-not crowded

I have read the other reviews where it says it is clean but it wasnt clean the day I was there. Most of the trash was in the water. One lake even had a neon green color to it. I also don't think I would have felt safe if I was by myself. The restrooms were filty too.
*edit* I have made it back since I reviewed the course and it was much cleaner! Not perfect, but enough for me to raise my rating and to have a better impression of everything.

Water comes into play on many holes. The water of the back 9 is very clear so if you do not throw it too far in then you should be able to see it. Overall, I really enjoyed the course the 2nd time I was there.
Keep it clean and this place can be really nice!

Nice and informative tee signs on each hole. Good size cement tee pads, with alternate tees on most holes. Each hole has its own unique challenge, whether it's semi wooded, an elevation change, water or a combination of these, you won't feel like you played the same hole twice.

The course has a nice flow around both the lakes, and even without a map, was fairly easy to navigate. There is little chance of losing a disc here, other than throwing it in the water.

There were bathrooms available at several locations around the course, along with plenty of parking. The park is very beautiful and provides plenty of other activities to do for everyone.

The walk from #14 to #15 is long, but is necessary to avoid park patrons. On #11 tee, you see #12 basket, so if you are not familiar with the course, it might be somewhat confusing.

The walk back from #18 to #1 is long, plus you need to cross through the parking lot, so watch for traffic.

You can literally see this course from I-95, and is very quick and easy to get too from there. As mentioned before, two beautiful lakes make the trip worth while.

Each hole isn't particularly long, but the course has you doing a lot of walking. You will get plenty of exercise here.

Best hole on the course is #17. The basket is located on a peninsula. If you throw too short or too long, you will be in the water. If you throw a bad hyzer shot that goes too much left, you will also be wet. It is definitely reachable, but will punish bad throws.

- This course had a lot of semi-challenging shots around the water that make some easier holes a little more exciting.
- Almost every hole has 2 different tee boxes to throw from and are generally two different shots (I played the long tees)
- The course starts out with a few wooded short wooded holes to ease you into the more open holes around the water.
- I thought the tee signs stationed at the longer tees looked very nice and some of the best I have seen. They reminded me of what you might find on a nice ball golf course.
- Very nicely sized tee pads for even the long run uppers.

- Since the course has a lot of open holes it can get pretty hot during the summer.
- While there was a temp hole in for the tournament between the two holes the walk between 14 and 15 is pretty long but it appeared that the area was a popular picnic area so that temp hole basket can't stay for regular use.

I really enjoyed the course. For never players the short tee's shouldn't be too challenging and the long tee's offer a good course for the more advanced player. I thought they used the lakes very well and incorporated some good pucker shots from the long tees.

If you plan on coming during the summer though be warned it is open and quite hot. I walked around with an umbrella and it still took everything out of me.
