Pros: Lots of open flight potential. Good use of mando's - ups the challenge level - but can easily be played casual as well.
Common sense will get you from hole to hole with ease.
Clean park! Keep it that way.

Cons: Natty pads. Need Trash cans throughout course. A bench or two would be a plus.
Other Thoughts: Really looking forward to playing this course again in the spring and summer. I live and play in Charlotte as often as possible, but will make the 90 minute drive to catch a breathe of fresh air anytime.

Pros: Very Clean area
Opportunity for big drives on several holes
Mandos on a number of tight shots require accuracy
A good number of forehand-friendly holes
Two different tees (Red and Blue) provide for multiple levels of difficulty
A very good use of predominantly flat terrain. The elevation changes that do exist are used very well.

Cons: Layout gets a little confusing around hole 7, doesn't flow well for the next few holes after that.
Tee Boxes are currently just two PVC Pipes stuck in the ground. This is great if you've got a big run-up, but if there's been any kind of weather slipping on the drive becomes an issue.
Mandos are inconsistently marked. Some have orange flagging tape around the trees, some are rows of little orange flags, only one hole has actual arrows.
Grass on the course is not mown often enough, can make discs difficult to find.

Other Thoughts: I'm very glad to have this 18 hole course so close to my home (less than a mile). This is a very new course with lots of room for improvement, but the play itself is top-notch. Almost every time I pass this course there is somebody playing, and frequently there are 4-5 different groups moving throughout the course.
The popularity of the course suggests to me that the City of Morganton will further invest in this course and address the concerns the public has voiced about it.

Beautiful Park Course 
Pros: Clean, new park with large gazebos. Air conditioned restrooms with running water. Large parking lot. Nice new tee signs on red course placed out of the way of the tee pad. Brand new Innova DisCatchers. Easy walk with intuitive basket/tee box placement. There are many 'mando's to break up the repetition. The tee box markers are angled correctly towards the target on all holes. This makes it easy to spot the pin. A course map is handy but not totally necessary.
Cons: Grass/dirt tee pads. Tee signs on the blue course are a little weak compared to the red (hand-written cards stapled to a post). Course layout has many similar looking shots. Not much elevation change. Need benches & trash cans (although I didn't see a lot of litter). There seem to be a lot of 'mando' gaps to hit. But no 'drop zone' area for the shot if you miss the mando. Re-tee? On hole #2 there is a small creek with thick shule directly behind the basket. Dont throw too long! #17 blue is a par 3. This hole is marked at 537'. It should be a par 4 as it is very difficult to get to the basket in one throw from the tee pad. Blue tee pads throw over the red pads on some holes.
Other Thoughts: Very nice course with relatively easy navigation. The layout is about as good as it could be, given the available land & location. The walkways surrounding the course give a lot of exposure to non-golfers. My favorite hole: #8

Brand, Brand New. 
Pros:
Note: Since this is the first review, I am going to go off. Sorry.
Pros:
- New, New, New. The whole park is brand new… the entrance signs, wood fences, picnic structures, bathrooms (extremely clean), everything… including the DISCatchers which still had the plastic wrap on the top links of the chains.
- 2 Looks. Half of the holes at Catawba Meadows have two sets of tee-pads: red and blue (am or pro) and this provides for two different experiences in one location… with the blues being much longer in general.
- Good Shots. Harold Duvall did all he could with what he had and designed some really great stuff… taking advantage of the limited elevation available, the trees, and the disc eating brush on holes 2,3,17,18. Bring your bag, I had to throw hyzers, anhyzers, flicks, skips, a two-finger roller, putters, mids, big drivers, etc…
- Open-ish Wooded. The course plays through an open grass field sporadically studded with large pines. Every hole is influenced by trees, but never to the point of being unfair. The gaps require accuracy, but are large enough to let you throw big.
- Mandos Add Challenge. At least 8 holes had double mandatories marked by orange flagging tape… tightening up some open holes.
- Exposure. The course is along a "major" road and has a high exposure to passers-by. There is also a bike/walking trail that flanks the course and many of the passers-by seemed interested in the game.

Cons:
- Grass Tee's. When being asked to throw 400+' bombs off the tee, it's nice to have an actual tee. Large concrete tees please.
- Uneven Tees. When asked to throw 400+' bombs off the tee, it's nice to have a level surface to throw from. Level, large concrete tees please.
- Primitive Signage. The tee-signs were nice; however, since the money was going to be spent… a better tee-sign could have been designed. It would be nice to know if the orange tape on the tree was really a mandy or how far behind hole 2 the disc eating brush is, etc…
- Repetitive. Although the course has varying lengths of shots ranging from 175 to 600+', and varying doglegs, tunnel sizes, low ceiling, open bombs… the course feels repetitive. Everything looks and feels the same.

Other Thoughts:
- Going to Get Better. This course went in the ground in October 2009. If the rest of the park is an indicator, this course is going to get better. A local mentioned that concrete tees are in the works and there is the possibility of a gold layout too.
- My Score: Reds -7, Blues -3
