Easley One of the Simplest I've Played

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 22, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easley High School's course takes you on a tour of part of the school campus. Unfortunately, it's a simplistic one-way trip.
- Nine holes. Nine unchallenging holes. That's good if you're a new player.
- Nine baskets. Baskets are green for the Green Wave. And they're numbered.
- More than half of the holes have flags for tee markers. I assume that's what they're for. If not, I guess I picked an arbitrary tee area for every hole, not just a couple.
- #6 - 8 all incorporate a little elevation. #6's basket is on a slope leading to roll-away factor. #7 tees off from top of a hill down towards the basket. And #8 plays uphill.
- #3 has the most trees in play. By that I mean more than two.

Cons:

Everything else. It's as if the baskets were just placed in the ground at set intervals, then somebody had to figure out how to make some challenge. Other than several trees on #3 and one on #1 & 8, there are no obstacles on the course. Crosswinds will be the biggest obstacle.
- Layout is terrible. In addition to what I just mentioned, #1 tees off in front of the school and #9 finishes behind the buildings. You'll have a long walk back to the car when you're done.
- A lack of tee markers. I found small flags in the ground throughout the course. I treated those as tee areas. I could be completely wrong. For holes where I couldn't find a flag, I just threw from close to the previous basket (#2 & 8) or the sidewalk (#9).
- Not a negative about the course per se, but an issue trying to play nonetheless. The course pictures and map on this site are completely useless. Some local created his or her own safari layout and are treating that fake 18-hole course as the course. So, if you try to use the pictures or map on this site as a point of reference, you're just wasting time. There are no holes #10 - 18, but someone is trying to convince you there are.

Other Thoughts:

Easley is clearly one of the worst layouts I've ever played. Nine baskets in a relatively open area. Credit to the school for investing in baskets (or whoever spent the money). There's just nothing to this course that's appealing.
- Players would be better served if the baskets were pulled and either located elsewhere on campus or at a nearby park that can accommodate a layout.
- Baskets are in good shape. So there's that. There's also the opportunity to get creative if you want to throw at a different wide-open hole instead.
- This was as stat-paddiest of a stat-padding course as you'll ever see. Imagine if you've never eaten pizza before. And the first pizza you ever eat is the cheapest, $1.50 frozen pizza with fake cheese and fake sauce and pink slime-filled meat from some cheap gas station. You'd be turned off to the delicacy wondering why everyone else loves pizza. And if you've like good pizza, you don't eat $1.50 frozen pizzas. Same thing here.
