Reviewed: Played on:Jun 12, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Course seems relatively well designed with decent flow. Nice use of trees to shape shots without making it overly difficult.
- Concrete tee pads in good shape
- Innova DISCatcher baskets also in good shape
- Park has restrooms, vending machines, playground, spray park, picnic shelters that are all nice. This is also close to the course without being in the way so that an errant shot might hit someone.
- Signs at every hole, although these only have the hole # and distance (no map)

Cons:

- As the review title states, this course is terribly overgrown. Most of the course has waist high weeds that are terrible to trek through. Wear long pants if you go and be prepared to spend some extra time finding your disc.
- Several ditches crisscross the course and I found myself jumping over them frequently. Not a huge deal for me, but if you have a youngster with you or are not comfortable/capable of jumping a few feet over a ditch this could cause a problem.

Other Thoughts:

This course has a lot of potential. Someone clearly spent some time planning it, and with the exception of the first couple holes (which are rather uninspired) the holes force you to use a variety of shots and do not seem repetitive. There was also clearly some money put into the course, with nice concrete tee pads, nice baskets, and scattered trash cans and benches. However, this course is nearly unplayable due to the weeds being so overgrown. I only saw one other group on the course on the day I played and they quit after the first several holes. If someone could go around with a bush hog and clear it occasionally, it would be much better. But it appears the most of the course is not ever mowed. It's a shame because it could be a very nice course otherwise. Unless this changes do yourself a favor and drive down to Kinston or up to Greenville for a better maintained course.
