Nice college course
Pros: Nice nine-hole layout on the campus of Gardner-Webb. Based on old reviews, the new layout is a big improvement. The course winds throw the back part of campus, behind the lake.
- A good array of hole layouts - doglegs, wooded & open holes, water in play and a little elevation throughout the nine. There is only one 'easy' birdie hole (#8), the other holes require a little shot making to earn your birdies.
- Good use of the land adds to the quality of holes. The water holes are all different from each other: #3 - water is behind basket on downhill shot, so don't throw long; #4 is an uphill shot over the lake & #5 is a downhill, dogleg back over the water. Other holes have good use of trees - #9 is shot around the trees to a protected basket.
- Easy course to navigate. Tee pads are close to previous hole's basket, so minimal wasted walking. Tees are marked by red minis in the ground. This all adds up to a quick round.
- Nice scenery and clean landscape, very pleasant experience playing. I played when no classes were taking play (between spring and summer classes), so campus/course area was deserted. There might be more issues & crowding while school is in session.

Cons: A buddy and I couldn't find the first tee. We walked around for 5 minutes and didn't see anything indicating the tee (mini discs, signs, marking on pavement or sidewalk, etc). No problems for the other eight holes.
- The water holes all have some lost disc factor. The water is brown and murky, so any disc in it will be impossible to spot. You also have to be careful not to hit the trees along the water on #5 (it's a creek at this point), or you might end up wet.
- Course is in a greenway area near a lot of buildings, so it might not be playable during school days. There might also be issues parking on campus during those times, so use common sense when playing.
- There is construction going on across the water. It might have an effect on #4 (basket is in the construction area) & #5 tee.

Other Thoughts: Course is pretty simple and straightforward. You won't be amazed playing here, but you're not going to be disappointed. Along those lines, no single hole is great, but it's a solid variety of 9 decent to above-average holes.
- This course is better (and cleaner) than another nearby nine-holer (Palmer in Shelby).
- Based on the reviews for the old layout, this is a major improvement. I never had a desire to play the old layout, so I was cautiously optimistic when I played. Easy to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of this layout. Good job to whoever decided to redo the course. It was a wise choice.
- I wouldn't go out of my way to play here, but if you're driving along 74, it's worth a stop. Based on the conditions when I played here (empty campus, no crowding issues), I'd say this is slightly better than the average 9-holer.

Pros: Course is challenging but won't hurt your feelings if you're a beginner/intermediate. Water in play on holes 1,3,4, and 5. Fair amount of trees and some decent elevation changes. A fun course to play.
Cons: Tees are marked with 2 red Innova markers in the ground. No signage. Often have to wait on students walking to and from class before throwing on a couple of holes but nothing major.
Other Thoughts: Course is in good shape. Plans are for the course to expand after completion of some construction projects going on on campus.

New Course at Gardner Webb
Pros: The course has been moved out of the woods and now sits in a wooded grassy area near the lake and fountain.
All holes are par 3's and offer up a good mix of technical drives, needed to get around all the trees, and rolling hills on most holes, requiring you to work on your throw elevation as well.
The tee boxes are visible from the catcher of the previous hole.

Cons: I couldn't find the tee for the first hole, I ended up just using the edge of the sidewalk as my tee box.
There is a lake that comes into play on holes 3-5, and there is no going into this lake to get your disc unless you want to fight with a goose or eighty.

Other Thoughts: I was happily surprised by the course as a whole. It is not overly difficult for beginners or intermediate players and offers some challenges for more advanced players as well.
I have yet to see anyone else playing on the course, but school hasn't been in session since I started to play here. I am hoping that when students come back I could find some other people to play with.

Could be geat Pros: It is on a college campus. It is in the woods.
Cons: It is hard to find and navigate. totally overgrown. limbs and debris everywhere.
Other Thoughts: could be great, it expanded and had people who cared and wanted to ulitize it often. the intramural staff said they planned to relocate the course to a more suitable area.

Pros: Great town and good practice course. good area and great location. Mostly short holes, so ideal for practicing your par 3 game!
Cons: Winds through the college so sometime students are laying out or in hammocks. Not fun to try and avoid hitting them.

D = Dis Course Needs Help (clear the underbrush maybe?) 
Pros: - The land this course is on makes for perfect DG course.
- Looks like several of the holes are really interesting/good.
- The baskets are in perfect shape - brand new Innova Discatchers.

Cons: - The course is totally overgrown and unplayable! See the pictures. Several of the fairways could not even be clearly viewed to see what was intended.
- Impossible to navigate. It took forever to find several of the tee pads.

Other Thoughts: Please clean this course up and promote it. I am sure it could get a ton of play from the students. It looks like it could easily be expanded to 18 great holes - many in the open/semi-open area ....and that would make it more visible and help promote it even more.
This remote college campus seems like it could use as many activities as possible for the student body to enjoy.

Great ~ Small Course
Pros: Holes are short but require a variety of shots in order to get close to the tee. Great course to practice your shots. Challenging but short. Tight, wooded and hilly. Tee marking were pretty good.
Cons: Course is sandwiched between parking lot (on top of hill) and road ( on bottom of hill) and the course is on the hill side. It's tight and is only 9 holes but they made the best of a small area. Also there are no tee pads.
