Greatness in the works 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 12, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Amazing variety of shots required.
Water used to good effect, not over used.
Long tees and long baskets add a degree of difficulty each.
Elevation used well, some holes are deceiving due to this.
Definitely a long course but not just a bomber course, accuracy is required.
Very much an exercise in 'Risk vs Reward'.

Cons:

Still in the process of building...
All the current Cons relate to the building process
ie. teepads currently natural, some holes currently don't have second basket... Tee signs missing on several holes.

All of these are very understandable, considering the construction process, and the lack of vehicle access to the course

Other Thoughts:

This course will end up (provided a little TLC) being an absolute gem for the local disc golf community. I can see it in the future as being a course that people travel to come and just play here. Very picturesque in the fall, water and elevation provide great views.

As it gets colder, ticks and chiggers are disappearing.

EDIT// Played this course in its first PDGA tournament on Dec 12th, for a new course the course is in amazing shape when you consider how rough the land used to be here.
This is not a course for beginners, I watched as several people lost discs into the water due to not being experienced. I wouldn't advise playing here after heavy rains at the moment just because of the dirt teepads (temporary).
Once concrete gets poured the designers say there will be two tee pads and two baskets on each hole.

Give it a couple of years and this place will be amazing!

unfinished 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 20, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Right now it's a 9 holer while the last 9 are being finished. Holes 1-6 and 16-18 are available right now. There are 2 baskets and 2 tee areas for each hole. The elevation is used nicely. The temporary tees signs and natural tees are adequate while the details get added later.

Other Pros:
- water comes into play
- variety of elevation, turns, distances
- nice views and clean park
- navigation is easy and a scorecard/ map is given at the check in

Cons:

Most of the cons are based on the unfinished aspects. So I will need to redo this review when it's completed.

Many stumps are spray painted but many are not. I tripped several times.

Other Cons:
-$2 parking and $2 to play an unfinished course
-some distances are long for a wooded course, making it unfriendly for new players

Other Thoughts:

You can see where the next 9 fairways are being cut out. I'm excited to see the finished product because so far it's looking pretty good. My favorite hole was #5, a downhill shot with water lining the end of the fairway near the basket.

**The address listed brought me to a dead end road on the wrong side of the park. The entrance is on Airport Rd.

Still working on it 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 1, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

There is some waterside play, the course has a lot of elevation changes for the coastal plains, some beautiful views, challenging holes and 2 tee boxes and two baskets per hole.

Cons:

Still a work in progress so the paths are not there, the signs are temporary and it has a lot of problems you would expect for a course under construction.

Other Thoughts:

Obviously I will update this review when it is done, but I am excited to see another course here on the peninsula. I love that this course is very different from New Quarter and Newport News. While it is nowhere near complete I see a lot of potential. Be sure to wear your walking shoes, this one will be longish when it is done. I look forward to its completion.

Work In Progress 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 11, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Two pads and two cages for each hole giving you lots of options. There is a good mix of directions, dogleg lefts, right, straight.

Cons:

Very hilly in places, lots of water, delaveaga type rolls, more than a couple "death putts"

Other Thoughts:

This is a new course being designed and built by the local disc golf club.

The course is open to play, however it is nowhere near being done. There will be a full 18 holes at some point, but for now there are around 12 done. Signage is so so, tee pads are natural still and the fairways need to have many more small stumps brush hogged etc.

the design seems to be good, so in a year or two this may be a decent place to play, some of the locals even think it may be a pro level course. We shall see.

In the meantime, be prepared to pay to play an unfisinhed course. Parking is 3 bucks and it's 2 dollars to play
