Pros:
1) Surprisingly this course has some variety. This is probably the thing that earns the course its rating. It may not be outstanding in any way but it is decent and it has a little bit of everything.
2) Outstanding distance variation on this course. There are holes in the 100's, 200's, 300's and even 400's. That was a little surprising also because it is just a community college. Most school courses just are not that diverse.
3) There is an interesting # plate which is a number actually cut out of steel. It is the shape of the hole number, but I swear #1 looked like the state of MN . . . perhaps I am wrong.
4) Beginner friendly course for the most part. While there will still be challenge, the general difficulty is not that high and distance is the main factor, not tight fairways.
5) Dual tees allow for varying abilities to enjoy the course.
Cons:
1) Tees are very hard to find with only a post buried in the ground to mark the front of the tee.
2) Very small but heavy chain makes these homemade baskets strange disc catchers. I had some fall out I thought would normally stay and vice versa.
3) There are a lot of rusty chains on these baskets. I sure wish people making their own would realize that stuff needs t be galvanized or protected from rust to remain a viable basket.
4) There is a parking lot completely in play on #4. You have to clear about 225' of parking lot before landing on the grass. It is a pretty good shot, and simply too risky to leave in as a hole design. It just seems like it could have completely been avoided with all of their property.
5) Baskets will leave gashes in your discs. They are sharp and my Pro Rhyno took some abuse even though I made just about everything. I believe I also had a putt fall out of the basket meaning the sizing was not appropriate.
6) Lots of strange and long walks which lead to getting lost. It doesn't help there are no tee signs but the walks alone were confusing. I actually played from a logical place in the woods on #15 towards the basket only to now realize in looking at the map that the tee is way down the hill and you end up walking the entire length of the fairway before throwing back the way you came. I just seems like better flow could have been achieved and even more variety could have been used if they went from #14 through the woods to the location on #15. Skip the extra walk and make a better hole at the same time.
Other Thoughts:
This course surprised me . . . it was fun, challenging, long, nice variety . . . but the tees, baskets, directionals, were all sub par. The challenge was mostly from distance and not obstacles which knocks it down slightly. I would go back . .. but only if Bancroft Bay or Oak Island were no longer in town.
