One of a slim few tracks in NE NC 2+ years

Pros:
The main pro of this course is that it's one of a very few tracks anywhere -- for miles -- in Northeastern NC and it's close to the main highway to this region. If you are driving from the Triangle to Elizabeth City, this is one of your only options east of Rocky Mount. And while it ain't much to look at and just a beginner-friendly track, if you're a relentless course bagger, you'll appreciate it.
+ It's designed for beginners and for that goal, it delivers.
+ Ace runs on most every hole.
+ Good place to work on upshot and putting game. There are a few uniquely designed holes, using a few scattered trees as obstacles.
+ While the rough bordering the fairway is straight-up Eastern NC jungle (thick woods, briers, and underbrush), the fairways themselves are mowed and decently well-maintained.
+ The short concrete tee pads are adequate for a small course. There are tee signs at each hole and navigation is easy.
+ Love the basket hanging from a clothes line on hole 8. That's some Bertie County ingenuity right there!

Cons:
For what this course is designed to be, it's fine. That said, this isn't a destination course (just one you can add to your collection if you happen to be passing through).
- All but a couple holes are < 200 feet. Very short. Not much too it. Not a serious challenge for most players.
- While the fairways are great, you're not going to want to search for your disc if you make an errant shot into the rough. Too thick and too many briers and who knows what else. A couple of the better holes (I'm thinking #2 and #4) have a decent challenge to them and tempt you to make an aggressive shot at the green. However, the disc-loss concern was too great for me to even try to throw something aggressive. Just not worth it on a course like this.
- There's a little "parking space" on the left-hand side of the little road to the course, in between the hole 9 basket and hole 1 tee. Park there. It's a short walk from there to hole 1. There's a decently long walk from hole 8 to hole 9. Then another short walk back to your car.

Other Thoughts:
Nothing to write home about, but worth a stop if you get the chance.
