-Well..................hmm. Some holes are average. I guess with the space they used they did an okay job on some holes. I like hole 4, and holes 7, 8, and 9 were good too.

-Dual sets of pads, so can be played as 18. If you play here, just play the reds except hole 2. The tee-signs are nice too.

-You get to see the Blue Ridge Mountains. And there's a concession stand with a good variety of food options.

-If you live in Tryon, you have options of playing Jackson Park in NC, or Holston Creek and Shoally Creek near Spartanburg. That's pretty cool.

-Oh man, is this Ben punk going to throw another rant? Yep. If you don't like it, then don't read this. I did not enjoy this course, just like I don't enjoy most courses around the Asheville area. If you do, then great! But you can't deny that a designer should either give it all he's got to make a good course and attract other players, or he should say "This isn't a place for a good course." Seems like most designers say "Yes! There is land! So there shall be a disc golf course!" ...This course is so screwed up. And you will see further in this review how Harmon Field was so screwed up to where I would have rather read my CIS textbook.

-It's so repetitive and boring. Most holes are similar, but There is NO elevation. Like none at all. That to me is a con. Especially when it's in the freaking mountains.

-A few tee signs are placed STRAIGHT BEHIND the frickin' tee-pads. You can't have a straight run up from the pad, your run-up has to be weird and has to catch you off guard.

-#2 (the red pad) is a mediocre hyzer shot so whatyoumaycallit huge to where it's impossible to park this 325' hole. You'd have to throw the most overstable disc you have in order to have some sort of look at birdie. And the shot is forced too. There is a tree right in front of the tee-pad with maybe a 35' limbspan.

-#3/12 has you throwing over a designated plant area. Unique some may say, but if you want plants to be protected at all times, designing a hole over it is not a good idea. And while #4 (the red tee) may be a good hole. #13 (the long tee) is a bad design. The plant area is right in front of the tee. It's a par 4 that is reachable but it plays as an anhyzer crush over the road and through the trees.

-Hole 10 (gold pad) is where it gets bad. Course is okay but then you see this hole. It's a 427' par 4. But is just bad due to trees lined up in front of the pad. You have to throw a ridiculous roller anhyzer or test out your luck and try to get so lucky and go through one of the trees. Because you won't clear one of the gaps between them.

-#14. This hole is an ideal flick. Over a bridge this is. Least they didn't make a mando forcing you to throw through it.

-#17. Just don't play it. This hole is horrible. It's next to the road, so it's a left to right shot. But there are pine trees in front of you and behind you, so you can't really hyzer or anhyzer. Not to mention the American FLAGPOLE is in front of the pad. This hole is terrible. I think the designer had to drop a deuce when he pulled out his sketchpad and it gave him a crappy idea. "Let's make #17's tee shot a facade full of .............." (you know what.)

-Most holes play beside the jogging trail. Like right beside it. And when you play hole 2, you might shank an intended hyzer that it hits the 35 mph road.

-I could do what some reviewers do and sugarcoat by giving reasons to come to a course that isn't great. I could ignore the bad and make you want to come here, and set myself up to get cussed out in a PM because I lied. Or, I could tell you the truth and say that this was yet another letdown in the WNC, just like most of the courses in the area. I don't know what it takes to get this through.

-Harmon Field is similar to candy corn. It has a bad and bland taste, and every hole is too similar to the others; there isn't any variety to this course.

-Harmon Field is not an ideal place for a disc golf course. It's crowded, it's really busy, and the course is a hindrance in some ways. I don't know if the county paid someone, or if locals got the green light from the county, but the baskets should go to another park. Locals: Not every park with excess space needs a course. Designers: If you don't think you can make a good course out of the land available, find somewhere else, or if the county paid you, then tell them it's not going to work. Give it all you've got! And to the county: Never pay someone to design a course, or pay for baskets if the place isn't ideal for a course, or accept ideas of holes being over bridges, plants, fences, etc. Do they realize they are practically on a parade float throwing money out of their pockets, spending money to design lame courses?

-The WNC has all the ingredients to make an awesome course. WNC has mountains, and is in the middle of nowhere in some parts of it. There are many parks that could have an awesome course. But instead (unless you play Jackson or Richmond), you have the option of playing something open and bland or something so wooded and mediocre. It's like a candy corn option or a black coffee with roots, acorns, sticks, and if you're lucky, cherry stems. It's time for a change. You would've thought it's getting better after the gem of a course Jackson Park, but there was a relapse. I go to Western Carolina, and I'd rather drive to Walhalla or Seneca than play most courses in the Asheville area. And Holston Creek, which is like 20 miles away is literally Idlewild in KY compared to this course.

-If you take offense, well I warned you. And besides, it's just disc golf. No shame in liking what you like.

Very open, good for a newbies like myself. Basically all in the open, shouldn't lose a disc. Easy to navigate. Signs on each hole. Each hole has two tee boxes (for 18 hole play.)

It's a beautiful park you can't really complain. On a busy day you may have to watch out for people on the walking trail.

My wife launched a brand new innova beast into some kind on septic tank on hole 3. There's only like 2-3 areas where you could possibly lose a disk. She found it with style.

Harmon Field is a perfectly suitable disc golf course. Located in a great park with gorgeous natural surroundings, it's 18 straight holes of relatively average holes.
- This is a 9-hole layout with two different tee pads, giving you 18 holes. The alternative tees range from putting one tee behind the other to two, true different looks.
- Course weaves nicely through one edge of a nice-looking park. The first four holes play in one section; #5 plays over a creek; and the final four holes play beyond said creek.
- Course offers some plenty of chances to air it out and/or be aggressive with plenty of open layouts.
- Course is nothing if not consistent. 15 of 18 holes range in length from 270 to 398 feet, with the other three being 200 feet (#5), 427 feet (#10), and 424 feet (#13). That said, the longest hole on the course was an easy tap-in 3 for me due to being wide-open.
- You can bring beginners and the casual two-disc-owner players here and be fine. Because of the consistency, even if you're only chucking a disc 200 - 250 feet, you're going to score decent.
- I love the covered, outdoor basketball court. It'd be a blast playing a game on the court at night, or with a downpour going on while you're in the middle of a game.
- Great tee signs. The signs are for holes #1 - 9. Hole numbers and distances are written on each tee box frame.

The course felt like 18 slight variations of the same hole. #1 might offer the most variance simply because it's a sharp dogleg right around the school building. After that, just avoid the fenced in area on #4/13 or the rough that borders many holes and you're fine.
- This was 18 holes of bland mashed potatoes. Add some salt; some butter; some hot sauce. Anything please just to make some holes feel different.
- The tee shot for #13 is asking for trouble. You're throwing blind around an obstacle, over the walking trail. If you're in a group, you'll need someone scouting 50 or 75 feet away. Yes. It's a small chance something could happen. But it's better to make that chance 0.
- There are a couple other holes that play over or alongside the walking trail.
- The hole numbers need to be adjusted by 1. When you pull into the first, small parking lot, you pull right up to a basket and tee. Perfect, right? Well, it's #1's basket & #2's tee. I had to walk backwards the length of #1 to play the first hole. Then 9/18 ends in the back of the park. Why not make #2 the new first hole and make #1 the closing hole? Much easier flow.

Glass half-full view: Harmon Field doesn't have a single bad hole. Glass half-empty view: Harmon Field doesn't have a single great hole. The Lakers were Showtime in the '80s because of Magic, Worthy, and Kareem. Glass half-empty view: Nobody came to see A.C. Green play. Glass completely-full view: This course gets more action than A.C. Green.
- I probably would have had a slightly higher view of this course if it were only 9 holes. But, playing 9 repetitive holes a second time is even more repetitive.
- My two favorite holes are #4/13 & 6/15. Both holes (all 4 holes) have the creek running along the right side of the fairway. #4 has a low ceiling with some trees/branches; #6's basket is tucked back close to the water. On this course, they're both high points.
- This was a nice 45-minute round. I made the prudent decision to cut down on needless walking. After playing #9; I decided to play the final 5 holes first (#14 - 18), staying in the back of park rather than walking back up front. Smart choice.
- I'm giving this course a 2.0. In the end, being a one-trick pony was the course's biggest flaw. Even by simply changing one or two holes would give this course the flavor it needs.

Brand new Innova disc catchers

9 of the tee boxes had nice tee signs

The other tee boxes had sufficient information written on them

Beautiful scenery

Some water in play

Grass was mowed/short

Easy to follow layout

Very repetitive. The holes had similar distance requirements and played either straight or to the right. So not hard to select the disc needed for each hole, I threw the same disc over and over. Natural tees were okay, but of course concrete is always nice, especially when you need to throw pretty hard on the tee on most of the holes.

You play over the walking path at least a dozen times. So this course would be a nightmare on the weekends. There was quite a bit of walking path traffic on a Monday morning. It's a very open course and not much in the way of obstacles, other than people. Playing over the creek on one hole was fun. It's a lefty's or RHFH's paradise. I think all 18 holes would favor those players. I'm not sure this is the best park for a disc golf course, with all the surrounding land, you'd think the city would set up a course off on its own somewhere. We went to this course on our way to Jackson Park and had to go out of the way about 30 minutes to get there. So we probably won't be back, it's not worth the detour.
