Playable and fun (with some patience) 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 24, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

I found all 9 RED baskets---------------- - +

Tee signs (with hole # and footage listed) and next tee signs (very generic, but nevertheless there now) allowed me to navigate the course pretty easily.

Some of the holes really stood out (Hole # 2, played downhill towards some rock outcroppings with a hanging basket. # 9 played across a ravine)

I see progress from the past reviews (With adequate tee boxes and the fairways cleared some more this would be the most best 9 hole course in the area! and would raise my rating a point)

Cons:

The tee pads still are terrible, but playable.

VERY thick fairways, but I threw a pink sidewinder and didn't have much trouble finding my disc.

after a heavy rainstorm the hills are very slick!

Other Thoughts:

I read all the reviews before arriving at this multifuntional camp (White water rafting trips on the New River, Zip Line, Camping, swimming/hot tub) and I thought i'd give it a try since I was in the area.

As mentioned above. I see progress from the past reviews (With adequate tee boxes and the fairways cleared some more this would be the most best 9 hole course in the area! and would raise my rating up a point)

Maybe a local Boy Scout could earn his Eagle Badge by making raised tee boxes and have carpet thrown over it.

Need some steps or someone to do make some "nurse logs" pushing drainage away from the fairways while allowing some natural steps.

Plenty of room for 18 holes (at least it appeared so from me).

a must drive from here to Charleston is to to take HWY 16 and Hwy 60. Very scenic, lots of curves, a few waterfalls along the way.

A Fun Mess 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 29, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Fun layout with some interesting holes.
-Quite challenging for a 9 holer.
-Makes decent use of terrain.
-Baskets have 2 layers of chains.

Cons:

-Tees are DREADFUL.
-Relatively short.
-Many fairways could still use alot of trimming (for quality, not difficulty).
-Some discs can fall through the bottom of the baskets.
-Poor signage/difficulty finding basket.

Other Thoughts:

Remember, I played this course very shortly after it was put in. I'm really hoping that they're planning on working on some of the things I bring up here.

So, I like the style that this course presents, however my main issue with it is something I see happen far too often. The TEES! Dear lord these were horrible. They were just dirt (which I'm ok with), but they were very uneven and small. I think I was able to do a runup on one or two of the nine holes. It would mostly just take a shovel and a day or two to make the areas level and large enough. Small amount of work with a huge benefit. Other than that, the course mainly just needed to be cleaned up and trimmed a bit. There were a couple areas just off the fairway that looked like the Tazmanian Devil had come through (still new, so not a big deal). It was also pretty hard to find the tees/baskets a couple of times, but that's something that's never bothered me too much.

I also wanted to add, there was a pretty large semi-open area that could have some really great holes if they wanted to expand this into an 18 holer. However, I discovered when they're busy, that area gets filled with campers throwing their tents everywhere.
