Milligan College's course is located just by some apartments, and goes from there to a maintenance yard. It's got some character because as is the nature of this area, nothing is flat. (well, almost nothing. hole 1 is pretty flat)

I like the orange discatcher baskets. Just a nice change from the standard yellow. and there's some good college deco of bison statues overlooking the parking lot.

There are a couple pretty good holes, with some lengthy par 3's, and short easy birdies. It kinda doesn't work well for new players because the long three's are almost tweeners. So maybe it's not a pro, but the individual hole design was ok.

I'm going to start with the worst one- ending the course so far from the parking lot. The course starts in a field across from the rest of the course for hole one, then you cross the road and play farther and farther away until you're done, and have to hike back up the huge hill. There is plenty of space to make it a loop, and even put all the holes in the same area. It took almost as long to walk back to the car as it did to play the back half.

The tee's are just wooden posts in the ground. You can kind of figure out which basket to throw to bc with such a straightforward navigation, you'll never loop back or really see another basket.

Some of the hole designs are just silly. Super sharp doglegs, long open holes, and ending on a downhill semi-tunnel (it's not super narrow, but you have to stay in the tunnel) shot just to walk back uphill either through or around the course.

As much as I'm knocking it for poor course layout, it was a pretty decent round. I played with my step-brother, who had never played before, but had a great spirit about it and wasn't crushed by this course. We played the ETSU course after this and both of us liked that one better.

If you're playing for fun- it's nice to play once.
If you're a bagger - it will be more pleasant than some courses you've played, I'm sure.

When I visit my family in Johnson City, I like to play the courses in the area, some of which are worth returning to. This probably isn't one of the ones I'll play again.
