Pros:
Do you like hiking? If so, this course is for you! No, really, apart from maybe Highland Hills in NC, this course and it's twin brother will require the most hiking you'll experience on a course.
There are multiple "tees" for each hole, in typical Mitch Hoeppner fashion, just in case you want to throw your putter from a little further back...
Holes 1-3 had me excited. Neatly manicured fairways and gaps to hit, nice pads and signs and hole 3 is a sweet shot straight down the hill. If you float a putter, you might lose it. I recommend flicking a firebird as hard as you can at it! (Read as sarcasm)
The scenery is really nice. As I previously stated, this is essentially a hike with a little disc golf sprinkled in. There is plenty of wildlife, trees, creeks and other natural beauty to behold, so soak that up.
I recall a few benches here or there that were definitely necessary along the way. BRING LIQUIDS. Especially in the summer, you'll need all you can carry. There is also a very nice gazebo area at the entrance to both courses which will give you a perfect picnic spot between the two or a break at the very least.
Cons:
You know how when you hike you discover little things along the way? It's the same here as well, but what you discover are disc golf holes. I don't mean that in a good way, I'm alluding to the fact that there are significant navigation issues here. There are several spots where the walk between holes are FAR too long and spread out. It isn't intuitive in the least and you'll regret not having a map.
The holes here are really too short. Apart from the first few holes and maybe 1 or 2 in the woods, you'll be throwing mostly putters and mids.
The tee pads aren't pads at all once you get inside the woods. They're toe boards. Like I said, you won't really need much of a pad to stand-still bomb your aviar.
You know how the hiking was a pro above? Yea, well some could certainly view it as a con. My wife was ill-prepared for our round and I suspect others will be as well. This isn't a course to go casually play with your family unless they love that sort of thing...
You won't really test your entire game, at all...Tight wooded putter shots will be the name of the game here. If you need work with that sort of thing, this is a perfect place to start.
Other Thoughts:
Plenty of ace runs to be had out here, all the while soaking up the natural beauty the blue ridge mountains have to offer. Don't expect to bomb out any drives, you'll be practicing your putt and approach. Bring hiking boots and plenty of liquids/food. You'll want to play Golden Bear too, it's the better of the two courses.
