By today's standards, it would be considered a Green level wide open bore, but I loved Bryan Park, north of Greensboro. It was the first North Carolina course that I played, after returning home from LA, where I had discovered the sport when it was about a year old. I found Bryan Park in early 1983, and didn't get to play it long, before it was bulldozed, to make room for cricket fields, or some such. It ranged in distance from 60' #16 to a longest Hole of 220/230-something, running alongside the forest, with pretty, planted Formosa trees defining the green.
Private, nine hole Hidden Valley, adjacent to the not so hot Massey Palace nine holer in the Bellemont community south of Burlington was an excellent wooded layout. Its coolest Hole was number 5, I think. Though deep in the forest, the Hole was fairly open, running alongside a creek on the left, with a green, green grass fairway and featured a slideable hanging basket.
As a pair, both courses made for a decent, fun, challenging 18, and were part of The Homegrown Tour. Massey Palace had a cool hanging basket in a very well defined green and one jammed into a four trunk tree. Targets ranged from nice new manufactured baskets to homemade washtub receptacles and tees were well placed rubber mats. Good open and wooded variety, elevation differentials, with several water hazards and a basket placed in a barn loft door. Benches scattered throughout and a couple of tarp shelters along the way. And closely convenient to Cedarock/Wellspring.
