Some nice holes, be prepared to walk

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 20, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

I have to say coming into this park it's one of the most beautiful facilities to include disc golf I've ever seen. Huge aquatic center/water park, all manner of sports fields, tennis courts and a walking path.

Parking was generous and on a Monday it was occupied but not busy. No one at all on the course.

You begin on some moderately wooded holes and then do some more open ones that line the perimeter of the baseball fields, including one that is on top of a large mound with drop offs towards the OB road on the right and just down into a ditch on the left. Could be the most interesting hole out there.

There are a few more that are over the roads/walking paths and in the wooded area towards the back of the course and then you finish with about a 270ft water carry that is pretty fun.

I loved the Mach 7 baskets and they have a cool tree/mountain scene on the band. Caught well and look sharp also, I really like this basket style.

Large columns with orange signs as tee markers that are easy to see from far off.

Cons:

SO. MUCH. WALKING. In between holes, 300+ft walk and when you finish you are rewarded with at least a half mile walk. Congratulations. Hope your round didn't suck because now you have a 10 minute walk to think about it.

The design on many holes probably makes holes 4-9 difficult to play if games are going on, and so many throw over roads and walking paths that if you aren't playing on a weekday in November you are probably going to be waiting all the time.

Also, no real tee pads. They are all on or near concrete so you probably have decent footing, but again if walkers are present you are waiting.

Signs are easy to spot but just have the tee number, if you want any other info you have to use the other mainstream disc golf app.

Other Thoughts:

Honestly there are good moments here, and the park is very well done but when I'm back in this area I'll be over at Kudzu Cove.
