Other Thoughts:
White Bank Park is an excellent park on a branch of the Appomattox River, with playgrounds, a boat ramp, and lots of picnic areas. The disc golf course plays throughout the entire park and features a wide range of challenges. While it is only of average length, it does feature plenty of variety, including alternate natural tee pads that change most holes, as opposed to simply adding length. White Bank is not exactly a destination course, but it is the kind of course most any disc golfer would love to have nearby, due to its classic DG landscape, variety from hole to hole, and the options of playing the holes at least two, and in most cases three different ways. White Bank is not a course you will tire of easily.
The big strength of White Bank is the course design, the variety of each hole. You've got some woods holes and some open holes, and some that are a mixture of both. You've got holes that fade right and holes that fade left. You don't have any big uphill shots or downhill chucks, but you do have some slight downhill shots, and one true signature hole that plays over a big gully. You've got some 200 foot but challenging touch holes and you've got a couple 400-foot air it out holes. Most holes at White Bank have three tees - a shorter red tee, which is appropriate for beginners and young people probably, and then two separate white tees, which come at the hole from different angles. Each hole has once concrete tee and then alternate tees marked by a painted "toe board" that is flush with the ground. Every hole has one good sign, and next tees are indicated by painted rungs on the baskets. Overall the course is first time friendly in terms of wayfinding. The issue is many baskets are hard to see from the tees, or even from your second shot. Protected baskets are kind of a thing here. So first timers will spend some time scouting, and may sacrifice some scoring due to the lack of familiarity.
Variety is the spice of a good course, and in this regard White Bank succeeds as well as any course in Central Virginia for the most part. My main concern is the two or three holes that play right over parking lots, and maybe the one or two holes that play very close to other roads in the park, or the main playground. Those holes could be a problem on a busy summer day. No one wants to hit a car with their disc, and that's possible at this course. In addition, a few holes are a bit boggy, but that's a minor issue.
As far as a neighborhood park course goes, White Bank is pretty sweet; it is a good complement to the array of Central Virginia courses, and with the multiple tees and nice park landscape, one that warrants many visits from locals and is certainly worth a stop if you're passing by.
Favorite Hole - #15 - Short hole over a deep gully with basket at an equal elevation to the tee on the other side.
