Pros: This course really surprised me the first time I played it. It's a decent drive from Raleigh but is definitely well maintained and has a great layout. In the past a few tees were missing signs but they've all been replaced; signs are hand-drawn but do a nice job of conveying the whole layout, distance, and par. Most every hole has signs pointing the way to the next tee and #3 is easier than it used to be to find (a previous reviewer mentioned it was a bit tough). To find it head left (when looking at the road) along the sidewalk after the #2 pin and then take the path through the woods after about 15 ft. As others have mentioned, minor elevation changes, good mix of open and wooded holes, makes use of the stream on a few of the holes, and thoughtful layout. The woods do not have a lot of brush unless you go well off the beaten path, so not too much time is usually wasted on disc finding. Course can be challenging to score well but is not punishing for a beginner.

Cons: There are no alternate tees or pin positions so the course is lacking a little replay variety (although it's yet to keep me from going back!).

Other Thoughts: I was tempted to put this as a Con but it may just be too much work to fix for the park system of this small city. The last hole has a couple of small stream beds that give the hole a bit of a challenge for an errant or short drive. However, the landing area past the fork of the creeks is a very small area because beyond it are two patches of extremely swampy/marshy area with a narrow path between them to the pin. These are easy to throw into and will easily ruin your day. Your disc will be wet and your shoes will most likely be after retrieval. That in itself isn't so bad, but the problem is this water is stagnant and has a lot of decomposed leaves in it, so it STINKS.

Pros: Having "grown up in the woods" so to speak (when it comes to DG) Zebulon makes me feel right at home. For the most part, this is a wooded course, maybe 1/3 of the course is out in the open, with a couple holes sort of in between, using the woods either as a border, or as a starting/finishing point. The course is largely flat, but does have some minor elevation, a creek that comes into play, and a nice mix of direction (lefts and rights) that keeps it interesting. This course is interesting to me because of the scoring diversity it ellicits. I've shot anywhere from 43 to 56 during tournament rounds. It's all there to get, but its all there to getya at the same time.
Porta John is permanent on site
Nice Shelter
Multi use park includes BBall, Baseball field, tot lot - hardly any of which conflicts with the DGC.

Cons: Although it flows well, the circuit doesn't return to the parking area until the end. So take your supplies with you or be prepared for a long walk for supplies.

Other Thoughts: Well taken care of, and definitely fun. Challenging, but not taxing. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Awesome course. This course has it all. Good layout and tee boxes. Well kept. They just recently added signs for each hole....makes this course that much better!

Cons: Tough navigating your way around the first time. Hole 3 is kind of tough to find as well as hole 17.

Other Thoughts: One of the tougher courses that I have played. Very well worth the drive wherever you are coming from. Be prepared to be challenged though!

Pros: This is a great course. Now, I have been playing golf since 1989, and have just started playing disc golf. So- based on a regular course - this course has many pros, but very few cons. First of all, this course was the 1st course I ever played as a beginner. I found it to be very challenging, extremely fun, and very well maintained. The grass was well cut, the tees well maintained, the OB cleared quite well for retrieval, and the water and terrain beautiful.

Cons: It was very difficult to find my way around the course. There are very few signs aiming you to the direction of the next hole. I wandered around aimlessly searching for hole 16. Note: It is located behind the baseball field, not where you would intend b/c it does not flow in the direction you are heading on 15, but could be easily found if a sign was simply placed there.

Other Thoughts: This course would be perfect if it had signs directing you to the next hole. It would also be nice if there was a course layout and score cards available.

Pros: This course will test most shots in your bag. There are some great short, tight holes and some that require all out power. Most holes are picturesque and well maintained. For the most part the course design and the flow of the course is good. The tee pads are also very nice.

Cons: There are a just few little things about this course that I don't like. The first and foremost is that there are no tee signs and no course maps. A few of the holes can be hard to find because of it. The first time I played there I was wandering around looking for holes in some places.

There are a few holes that I don't like. It's not that they don't test your skills but they're just not as good as the rest of the course. The long hole #3 is one of them. I think it's positioning along the road and next to the fenced in ball field is poor. Unfortunately is seems like it's required to aid with transition to the other holes. Errant drives can end up in the ball field on one side or they can interfere with players on hole 5. There are also a couple other holes on the back 9 that run close too or cross roads that are used in the park. The roads are used occasionally and these "cons" are nit picky but they deserve to be mentioned because they are a safety factor.

Other Thoughts: This is definitely a nice course. It's very challanging and very fun. There are just a few things about the layout of the course that I don't like because I feel there's the possibility of injury. I'll definitely come back here though. Also... if they ever put good tee signs out here I'll bump up my ranking for this course.

A comment regarding my evaluation of courses. I am not trying to insult or hurt any ones feelings when I review a course. I'm just trying to evaluate the course on what I feel are important characteristics of a good course. Disc golf has become a large enough sport that I feel we should strive for better than we have now. Just putting 18 holes in a park isn't enough. 18 pole holes does not make a disc golf course. It requires tee's, signs, maps, solid course design and constant maintenance. Any less than that and we will never advance the sport to a reputable level.

Pros: This course has the potential of developing into an excellent course over the next couple of years. There is a great mix of open and woods holes and plenty of distance variety. Holes range from 230ft to over 600ft with a large number coming in between 350 -450 ft. The course was very well maintained.

Cons: There were no tee signs and the course was marked very poorly in general. It was hard to find my way around (I played it for the first time today).

Other Thoughts: This is a course well worth playing. It has the potential to grow and become even better though. Simply marking the course and installing tee signs with distances would make all the difference in the world. Overall however, I really enjoyed my round and certainly recommend the course.
