Tourney Prep 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 31, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Tee signs
-Creek in play is not too deep
-A couple of interesting holes
-Goals are in good shape.
-Brand new concrete tee pads!

Cons:

-Some holes are way too short

Other Thoughts:

I learned to play the game in Oklahoma. Out there, the game is a lot of power disc golf in wind play. It is not uncommon to see 370+ ft par 3s that require some shot shaping.

Since I have moved to SC, I have found the game here different and it has challenged my skill set to be retooled for shorter more technical tight lines. I recognize this as a weakness, and I have embraced the process to change up my game.

I draw the line at this course though. There are many holes with lengths much less than 200 ft. This is too short to be considered a great course. The scenery is quite nice, and the stream is refreshing (especially when you wade in it to get a disc), but the nature does not make up for this course falling a bit short (pun intended.)

The tee pads used to be a concern. They replaced them all prior to the 2019 GODG Spring Fling and they worked very well.

There are 4-5 pretty good holes here. I look forward to playing those again. There is also one long open bomber hole that was fun, but not very difficult.

wow let's go for sertoma 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Y'all ready for my first drunk review? I don't care- buckle up son 'cause here we go!

Sertoma is a freakin prom date of a course. She is beautiful. At first I was like, "oh man, two forehand holes in a row?" But then hole 3 bursts out at you and this course says, "Hey man, here's an open downhill let-it-rip hole for ya." And it only get's better from there.

Eighteen holes of fun short-range controlled shots. They may all be par 3, but they aren't all gimme's. Sertoma is going to make you work for it, and you're going to like it. Just when you think she's not being fair, she opens up and says, "hey, hit this hyzer line baby, you can do it." And you may over throw, but that's ok. Sertoma is gentle so you can still make your par.

Are the tees concrete? Honestly I can't remember. I played three courses today and at least one of them was gravel and I think it was this one but it wasn't too bad. Are there tee signs? Yes and they were great. Were the baskets old discatchers like every other damn course you've ever played? Absofrickinloutly. Are you going to thank this course for the pleasure of playing it? You better.

This course comes with scenic woods and open fields, with mowed fairways bordered by the effing Savannah from Africa. I'm talking waist high grass you could hide a whole pride of lions in. But they mow a generous amount of fairway to make sure the way is actually fair. So don't complain.

OMG I almost forgot to talk about elevation. It's here. And it's beautiful.

Cons:

Alright. Now the cons. I hate it but we have to talk about the ugly stuff. For starters, there was a lot of broken glass on hole 9. It came out of nowhere and I didn't know what to do about it. I hate seeing that on a course because kids play this game man, c'mon. Just stop taking glass out on the course.

And what's keeping this from being a 4.5 star/disc review? There aren't any par 4's or 5's. Honestly I like it like this and thought this layout was super fun. But in today's world, you know what it takes to succeed and that's the challenging placement shooting of longer pars. I'm sorry Sertoma, that's just the way it is.

Other Thoughts:

This course was a freakin' great stop on a road trip from Atlanta to Johnson City. Did I love this course? Yeah I did. Was it beautiful? Like a freakin sunset from a hilltop sitting next to a pretty girl you have a crush on but you're not sure if she likes you back so you play it cool but you're pretty sure she does so you let yourself enjoy the moment and have some feels.

There's even a freakin' creek on this course and I threw into it on hole 18 because I overthrew the basket. Don't do that if you can help it. The bank is basically a 5ft straight drop and the small vines/roots/saplings aren't the most stable. I can tell you the water is very cold and refreshing, but if you don't have a bunch of laundry in your car because you're on your way to your parent's in Johnson City I do not recommend falling into the creek. It by no means dampered my experience and I absolutely loved this course. So should you. Now go out there and freakin play it you goonie!

Thank you for enjoying my first ever drunk review. I think I may drink before all of them. Let me know if that's a good or bad idea because I may not be in the best decision-making space right now

Technical and Attackable 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 30, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Wow! Sertoma is a good course! And it's closer to WCU than I thought. So you are next to the mountains when you play here.

-Pro and con. It's deceiving for the first couple holes. They are okay. But then you get to hole 3 and you're like wow! This course is great. Hole 3 is a 407' downhill bomb. And she's a pretty one! And then the hole quality stays at a rather pleasing level. Most holes are short, but they don't get repetitive.

-Elevation is used quite well throughout the course. There are many downhill ace runs that have good opportunities for an ace, and the uphill ace runs, well. Same here. #8 comes to mind. It's 143' and steep uphill, and I hit chains.

-Very well maintained. The grass fairways were cut, and the rough wasn't too rough either. The biggest risk in losing a disc is throwing near the creek.

-Already said this previously, but the hole quality is spectacular. Many holes really stood out to me. I loved the long downhill bomb on hole 3. I also loved 8. I thought hole 9 was a very unique shot down a tunnel. The more challenging holes (10 and 11) were great as well. Hole 10 is a narrow 300' foot putter/mid shot out of the woods. #11 has two lanes. The safer lane would be a big hyzer and go for par. The left lane has a better birdie opportunity, but is through a gap with a ceiling and woods to the left. Hole is open, and is really beautiful.

-Now my favorite hole was #14. It's a sweet downhill right to left small hyzer onto a green that slopes downward. Another beautiful hole, and sure is a fun one.

-The signage is very accurate for the most part. The fairways are well defined, so on the holes that you can't see off the pad, you could look at the diagram and just throw without walking down the fairway.

-Nice tee-pads and the baskets are in good shape.

Cons:

-There is danger on holes 5-7. The creek is in play, and since I played pretty awful, I threw in there twice. And it's straight down about 10' from the fairway. So it's dangerous to retrieve discs if you aren't careful.

-Really, it's just the first hole. It's kinda boring. The second hole is okay, but can be irritating if you aren't a RHFH thrower or a lefty backhander. I also think #12 should be a bit longer as it is 141' and downhill about 20' in elevation.

-It's more of a casual ace fest. There's a good bit of character for a course full of short par threes. It's not a superb course with a lot of variety, but it does require different throws on every hole.

Other Thoughts:

-It doesn't bother me that there aren't any par fours, even though a couple of holes here could probably have long pin positions that play as fours. It's obvious that the county was serious about wanting a course up in Walhalla because it's well maintained and kept up with.

-Course is great for starters, but can still be penalizing. And it's not penalizing to where you can't blame yourself for a bad shot. A low score can very well happen here, and there are many redemption holes to look forward to. I strongly recommend this course, it was worth the hour drive. The Shaver Recreation Center course is also closeby, and is a good course as well.

-Finally, the course is not directly at the entrance. You've got to drive past the fields and park toward the end of the parking lot. You'll see the practice basket in a fenced field.

Sertoma Field 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 3, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Has practice basket

Has tee signs

Has some concrete tee pads

Has many benches throughout course

Has next tee signs posted throughout - easy to navigate

More wooded than open fairways with doglegs and elevations

Short course that is great for a beginner or for one to work on the short game

Free parking - but it's a walk to the first tee and from last basket

Restrooms - closed at the time I was there

Cons:

Some of the gravel tee pads are not flat

Many opportunities to lose discs in the creek with steep banks - recommend backup discs

No variety in pars - par 54

Other Thoughts:

This is a short, fun 18 hole course in Walhalla that I enjoyed playing on a sunny Sunday afternoon after an ace race event which was held earlier in the day. When I pulled into the parking lot, I found the practice basket right away. I walked past the practice basket and then located the first tee further down on the left side near the creek. From there on the course is easy to navigate since there are next tee arrows posted throughout the course. The course has much improved its tee signs because they're more readable now.
Although the course is a short par 54, it has a good mix of flat, uphill, and downhill holes with a number of ace runs here. Holes 12 and 15 are very nice ace opportunities with the putter. A few of the holes have a creek with steep banks on the left side which can be intimidating for those not capable of maneuvering steep elevations. Thankfully I was able to avoid the creek and not risk injury as I didn't have any rope. The course was in great shape but the restrooms were closed. If you're in the area, I recommend playing this good course. I made a day trip of playing Grand Central Station and this one afterwards and had lots of fun.

Fantastic 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great direction signs to a large degree of varying layout along some well maintained paths. Absolutely fantastic course for the intermediate to the beginner and a good course for the more advanced.

Cons:

Starts with nice concrete pads bit then changes to fine granite sand which gets kicked up into your shoes.

Watch the water hazard a of the disc hours on it is probably lost forever. There are a couple of holes which this is highly likely if you go at them from a distance and it would be nice to have a catch area here which could easily still be marked as ob.

Other Thoughts:

Played with my daughter and we both have a 150, and really enjoyed the course. Never had a problem locating the next tee our problems finding a disc. Has been a few years since a review has been written so wasn't sure how we would find the course a they sometimes fall on rough times but we were not disappointed and glad we had chosen this course. The shorter course really made it fun for us.

Walhalla if ya hear me 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 17, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Sertoma Field Is a fun, shorter-length course. The course offers a great range of variety, making this one of more enjoyable courses in the upstate.
- Course has a great flow to it. I never felt like I was playing the same type of hole back-to-back, or even too often. You have an uphill, open hole, such as #4, you get a wooded, mid-range layout on #5; you go from a tight wooded fairway on #10, and it's followed by an open dogleg right on #11.
- Course overall is pretty short, yet there's still plenty of challenge. The average hole length is 236 feet with only three holes longer than 300 feet, with the longest at 402 feet, and even that one is wide-open and downhill. Throw is some good elevation (I enjoyed #8); good dog legs (#7 is a good challenge) and water holes (lost disc factor on #6 & 7 if you're not careful).
- Adding to that challenge, there's a great risk-reward factor. For intermediate level and above, every hole is deuce-able. Getting too aggressive can also lead to possible bogeys, bad bounces and/or a high risk for lost discs.
- That said, this course is also good for less experienced players. You can play this course very conservatively and walk away with 18 straight pars. Because there are no true long holes (as mentioned #3 plays much shorter than 402 feet), big arms are not needed.
- Course is very easy to navigate. On many holes, there is a short walk from basket to next. Also, on most holes there's usually only one path and or next arrow signs, so you really can't get lost if you tried. The hardest hole to find might be the first one.
- There's a huge fun factor at this course. Going back to the flow factor, even when there is a less exciting hole, you end up with something better immediately after. It got to the point that by around hole #5 or 6 that once I putted out I would already be looking forward to what the next hole would be like.
- The course is good for a quicker round. My buddy and I were trying to get a round in before the sun went down. Without much struggle, or at too harried a pace, we played through in 50 minutes. The biggest detriment to the fast pace of play will probably be the drive because this course really does seem like it's in the middle of nowhere.

Cons:

I'm really struggling to find anything glaringly wrong with this course. This course is pretty close to achieving its optimum level. If most courses maxed out their quality, the majority of courses would be far superior to their current states. That said, let me nitpick.
- Minimal benches or trash cans throughout the course. Basically I don't remember seeing a single one, but I didn't pay attention on every single hole, so there could be one or two. That said, a couple more could be useful.
- Tee signs could be improved. I like the wooden, hand-drawn, simplistic style for the most part. For some of the more difficult (meaning blind tee shots), a more descriptive sign would be helpful.
- Some people may not like the lack of truly challenging holes. Like I said, this is a course an intermediate-level player could easily get 18 straight pars (or better) with little challenge. One could also play the course throwing nothing more than a midrange disc, and still see plenty of birdie chances. That said, spacing issues probably preclude this course from adding any more length.
- #1 seemed like a somewhat odd beginner hole. At 118 feet and without much challenge, it's atypical to get such an easy, almost throwaway type of hole to begin a course. It's probably the easiest opening hole on any good course I've ever played. All that said, the view and the layout do make it interesting, which is this course's theme.

Other Thoughts:

Sertoma Field really is a solid course. It's never going to be confused with an elite level course. For what it offers, it does it well.
- This region sure knows how to build great short courses. Between this course, Trails in Anderson and Timmons in Greenville, these are three of the best shorter courses I've played anywhere. I don't what your secret is, but I wish you could show others how to build great short courses. I'm not always a fan of courses where the driver can stay in the bag, but these are all exceptions to the rule.
- This course should appeal to players of most skill levels. I also see this being a great course for an ace race.
- I didn't see or feel one true signature hole at this course. There are just a bunch of good holes that make the round quite enjoyable. I wouldn't say that's a positive or a negative, so the thought goes here.
- Perhaps my best compliment to this course is that I played three days before writing this review. And in the days since that round, my interest and excitement in the course has only grown. I liked the course then, and now as I'm replaying the course in my mind, I'm ready to make a trip back that way for another round.
- This course is a solid 3.0 in my book. The fun factor is much higher, which is why I understand how others have rated it higher. For me, it just doesn't meet the challenge, or overall quality of courses I have rated 3.5. That said, this is a solid, very enjoyable course. The next time I'm in this area, I'll make sure to head out of my way to play here again.

pitch and putt reward time 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 30, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Set off to the side of a city park you are away from any non disc golf activity. Most of the 18 holes can be easy birdys if you have a controle drive. The course uses creek/river to its avantace with more than one hole having you shake your head as you go diving for you disc.

Cons:

Tee pads need to be updated along with the signs. (at this time it is in the works to start fixing this issue)

So far away from greenville that this jem of a course could see a little more use

Other Thoughts:

If visiting the lower part of the upstate i would make a stop on out. its a fun little course that has its own look and feel. I do have to give props to the park and rec guys they do put a good amount of work into making a great looking course

Interesting, fun course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 22, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-good use of land and elevation
-fun and easy
-ace runs
-set apart from rest of park, very little interaction with other park users
-no big views or anything, but very scenic woods with several mature trees and a good sized creek

Cons:

-only one con, but for me it was a big turn off...too many really short, semi-repetitive holes
-some people didn't like the gravel tees; I thought they were fine, particularly because none of the tee shots are full power

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this course. For an intermediate player like me, a doable course with lots of birdie possibilities is always welcome. BUT, for me, this course gets ridiculous with the several super short shots off the tee.

I will play this course again and would recommend it. I would really like to see an experienced designer take a shot at stretching out a few of the super short tee shots.

Small town Beauty 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 11, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Let me start this review by saying I have always enjoyed this course, it is a beautiful piece of land with water, rolling hills, nice wooded holes and a few ace runs. While this isnt a top level course it does serve a very good purpose. Getting people off the couch and throwing discs. when you come into the park, there are baseball fields all along the parking lot and the disc golf course is actually a separate piece of land. This always earns bonus points for me. being away from the rest of the park makes the Disc golf more enjoyable. This course has a great mix of open and wooded holes, tight gaps, and ace runs. The local club has moved Hole 1 (yay!) to a more reasonable distance. It used to be a jump putt. I think this course can really show you what you need to improve on. It will certainly not challenge top level players, but it can be a place to work on approaches, hitting gaps and control. on a few holes, namely #5 you need to not go left. if you do, the creek(more like a roaring river right now) will take your disc forever. same with hole 6 as the basket is about 5 feet from that creek.

Cons:

The length is not really a con for me. I think that it is designed to be a course that is fun for everyone, and that is exactly what Sertoma field is, FUN!. But if your idea of fun is throwing drivers for distance then maybe skip this one, and Shaver park and head up to Chatooga Belle Farm.

Bathrooms are not always open and could be an issue for disc golfers with families.

Poison Ivy all along the rough on hole 11. I have never seen so much Poison Ivy in my life. if you play this course and are allergic to the stuff do not go left on hole 11. play something safe and to the right.

Tee signs could use an update, they were nice handmade wooden signs and they have just faded over time. It is very difficult to read the distances on some of the holes.

Teepads- they have updated some of the most important teepads from the gravel that used to be on all of them. if they could find a way to make them all cement or get the rubber mats to go over the gravel it would earn at least a half a disc from me.

Other Thoughts:

I love playing Sertoma (or as I call it, Walhalla). my only problem is that it is about an 1:20 from my house.

for anyone visiting from out of town, I would say go play this course, then go to either Grand Central Station or Shaver Recreational for a little more challenge. both courses are within 30 min or so of Sertoma.

This course is set aside from a recreational park, which makes it good for more than just Disc Golf. There is an equal amount of open holes as enclosed holes.

I've played this course in Snow, rain, and shine and I have to say that no matter the weather... you should get out and throw.

This may be a good place to practice approach shots and such but its not a "destination" course. For anyone other than locals this course is good (read: very average) but isn't worth a trip out of the way, in my opinion.

A Fun Saturday Leisure Round 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 23, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun course, secluded from other activity and with a good layout thru the property. It was a really fun (2) rounds played with friends at this here. This course is well kept and easy to navigate. Lots of Deuces to be had here. Worth making a stop to play.

Cons:

Some older tee signs are harder to make out the hole details. So it pretty much meant taking a peak around ther corner or taking a few steps forward to gage the required flight paths, distance etc. but by no means a major henderence.

Other Thoughts:

Mostly short holes but a few offer some challenge(especially with a drop off to deep water close behind a few of the targets) I recommend making a leisure round of DG at this course. Only about a 35 minute drive for me so... I'll be back again for anopther fun round.

Fun short course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 17, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

First and almost foremost...land is for one thing only - throwing plastic at metal! No hikers, walkers, bikers etc. Just folks throwing them crazy frisbee's. It's also a pretty course, nicely shaded with a disc eating creek coming into play.

Though slightly technical, the holes are short so a beginner - when not bouncing off trees - can reach the basket after a few decent shots.

Not really a big-arm course, lots of short uphill/short down hill throws. Now, hole 3,4 & 10 let you rear back and crank it hard, two uphill/one downhill.

Cons:

Only one really, and that the very silly first hole. I mean, c'mon, I can throw my mini almost to the basket! I say back it up across the road and make it a real throw! We all like ace runs, but this is crazy.

Pretty course to learn the game 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 27, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course is in the back of the park and separated from other park users. Everything is perfectly maintained, and well kept. Grass is mowed, benches and trash cans are matching wood, and the course has a nice, clean look and feel to it.

18 tees with well kept pads. Mostly sand/gravel tees, but thee is a couple concrete pads mixed in. They all work fine.

Decent variety as far as shots go. There are some up hills and some down hills. There are some wooded holes and some open holes. Mostly plays in the woods, but with a few open holes to change the look and feel.

Could be considered beginner friendly as about 1/2 the holes are around 200' or under. There are also a few wide open holes that would allow a newer player some freedom to make mistake without punishment.

Signs give decent indication of hole layout and description. Not fancy or modern, but they fit in with this course well, and give all the important information.

Cons:

There is a 118', 143', 180',141', 187' and a 173' hole. Too many overly short holes for almost anybody, but a beginner. The 118' is almost a putt.

Not really any memorable or signature holes. There is some decent disc golf holes here, but nothing to get overly excited about.

No long distance holes for people that want to throw drivers. #3 is 402' downhill and #11 is 322', but those are the only holes that really give you any driving freedom.

About 1/2 the holes require a pretty straight shot. Not a bunch of technical shots.

Other Thoughts:

While my impression is that this course was designed for beginners, and to get more people involved in disc golf there are all a few holes here that could really frustrate a beginner. The creek plays to the left of several holes, and would give a new player (RHBH) with a classic big spike hyzer fits. There is also a fairly low ceiling on a some of the fairways adding a little more challenge for someone just learning the game.

This is a decent little course, and definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. It mostly plays as a beginner course, but there are a few spots where it can even challenge the average player.

If you live in the area and are learning the game this course would be a great place to start, or to bring someone new to the game.

Disc Golf Welcome in Walhalla! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 19, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Clean park setting. The course is set off away from the main park so disc golfers is all you see. Easily navigated even without a map. Never once did I feel Like I didnt know where to go next. All shots are included: Long & short, tightly wooded & wide open. Open to wooded shots & visa-versa. Elevation changes from hole to hole. Tee pads are large size with packed sand base. The edges are low so you can run up on them. The tee signs are unique wood design. All info is listed including hole number, Par, Length & a basic picture of the disc flight path. On the open grass holes the lawn is cut to two different lengths like a (ball) golf course with 'fairways' & 'rough' at the edges. Just enough benches to make the round enjoyable. There is a creek that comes into play on some holes. They have a practice basket in the large flat (open) field near the parking lot. New Innova DisCatchers. Lots of birdy/ace holes.

Cons:

No course Map. Leaf cover in winter makes losing a disc easy. Loose gravel on some tee pads made run up slippery. Some pads are concrete. I wish they all were!

Other Thoughts:

#1 starts you off with an Aceable shot & it keeps getting better as you go! I was suprised at the lack of people. I saw maybe 2 people the whole time I was out there. I would've loved to throw a round with some locals. Favorite hole? #3 & #8. The course is right outside of downtown Walhalla so food, drink & lodging was readily available.

Nice break 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a great beginners course and i really like playing it. I thought the holes were a good combination of open and tight, long and short. This course really helped my confidence and improved my game by allowing me to make some birdies. I also thought the scenary was AWESOME anytime I play on a course surrounded by mountains i find myself just looking around.

Cons:

I did not like the gravel tee pads!! I busted my tail on hole #2 and threw my disc in the woods. I got up and i asked my wife where my disc went and she didn't know cause she was watching me fall. I also love and hate the hole with the creek directly to the left, at the time every backhand shot i was throwing was turning left like a nascar driver and i ended up in the creek. I took my shoes off and got my disc and another disc that i returned to a fellow player.

Other Thoughts:

I enjoyed the simplicity and ease of this course. I had been playing other courses that were very nice but a little over my skill level. This course was just what i needed at the time.

Fun for all 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 20, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great variety of hole types and terrain. You get ups and downs, open fields, shots that go from open to woods, woods to open, completely wooded shots, annys, hyzers and maybe even a roller or two if you got the sack. The easy to get to pads are all concrete. Ability to shape lines is a must, if this was your home course you would not be a bomber but your accuracy and upshot game would probably be unbeatable.

Cons:

Sand teepads take a little pre work before you can feel comfortable throwing. I imagine on a normal day this wouldn't be an issue, but during the tournament there was a lot of traffic obviously.
Signs could use a re-do but most holes were pretty self explainatory.

Other Thoughts:

This course screams fun. This is evidenced by hole one basically being a long putt and the kind of hole where if you don't deuce you just want to hang it up for the day. The field holes are very nice with mowed fairways and large concrete pads. I really enjoyed this course, it may not be long, it may not be particularly hard (but if you go offline...look out!) but man is it FUN. If you leave with a scowl just go ahead and jump in the creek and drown yourself because there is no joy in your life.
