Pros: -Super clean and well kept/groomed.. BEAUTIFUL!
-Lots of long holes to really throw for distance
-A few water hazards that are fun but with easier retrieval because of the shallow and clear water. Unless you go to deep into the pond on the right of hole 18
-Seems to keep a classier crowd.
-A decent amount of variety from hole to hole
-They have free color maps & score cards at the first hole!
-There is a huge tent/pavilion at the start of the course with a grill and picnic benches
-Small gazebo in the middle of the course (which was great because as luck would have it, it started raining right when we got there. So it was nice to have a place to keep dry until it stopped.
-Very nice to have a paved parking lot WITH CAMERAS! So I feel safer than at some other parks.
-Lots of benches and areas to sit if you need
Cons: -The overall layout of the course does tend to wander back and forth a bit so some of the holes seem a touch too familiar. I.e. you have to cross a stream on 16 and then turn around, go back across it and use it again for hole 17.
-Even though the course is clean so there isn't a lot of debris there are a few holes that still have a lot of trees right in front of the tee as though there is no true fairway. It's not real bad because the area around the trees is still clean especially because they are older pines typically so their isn't a lot of underbrush. It's just that there doesn't seem to be a fairway or any way to make a planned approach.
-A few holes are can be hard to find but not bad overall
-Not a LOT of trash cans even though there seem to be enough right now
-Look for ants before you grab for your disc in some areas.
Other Thoughts: -Be aware that if you are advanced enough to know how to use different discs for upwind/downwind conditions you will likely be able to take advantage of those discs here. Because of the distance of many of the holes and the location of the park (outside of town in a more open geographical area, the wind can pick up more that in other local area.
-The place is practically brand new and it's great to be able to take advantage of such a beautiful park paid for by high tuition for ECU students for free!
-Not a LOT of trash cans even though there seem to be enough right now but as mention previously, the no tobacco, alcohol, or pets rule does make for a better potential experience (depending on who you are I guess). But I agree that it is nice not to look at a trash can filled with forties at every hole.

Pros: Very clean. Easy to navigate. Good mix of shots required. Benches and/or trash cans on most holes.
Other Thoughts: Coming from Raleigh not used to so much wind.
After the recent rain there was casual water on many holes.

Pros: *Very clean course- Maintained by local club and ECU groundskeepers. Trash cans at most teepads makes it easy for even the litterbugs to be clean.
*Concrete pads and well marked signs-Very easy to navigate through the course, no question at where any of the holes are from the tee box. Finding the next tee was never a problem either. They also have printed out course maps and scorecards at the first Tee!
*Variety of distances-Front 9 is a great way to warm up for the bombers on the back 9.
*Good amount of people-Has enough people on it usually to make sure it stays maintained, but not too many that you'll run into everyone during your round.
Cons: *Holes seem repetitive-There is only so much that can be done on flat land. In fact hole 6 and 7 seem like almost the exact same shot.
*Some of the trees are still new and growing- This will help shape the course differently in the future, but for now, some of the holes are similar.
*College campus rules-While I don't drink or smoke, I do like to bring my dogs out with me. The ban of those 3 does make it an inconvenience to people who normally can do those things while playing Disc Golf.
Other Thoughts: All in all it's a great and fun course. There aren't many cons about this course other than it's new and still developing. It has come a long way in the short time it has been in existence. I love the warm-up holes on the front 9 to get ready for the bombs on the back 9. Hole 18 has claimed more than a few discs from golfers; but it adds to the challenge. There are future plans for the Sports complex which include the addition of a parking lot between holes 17 and 18's fairways which will add OB on both the left and right side of 18's fairway. It's nice that they put up another course after removing the Old ECU course, adding to the variety of courses available in the Greenville area.

Pros: Very Nice course!!! Nice, new tee markers, easy to navigate from hole to hole. Not too difficult. Some holes are wooded and others are in open space.
Cons: Can't really think of any cons. but watch out for hole 10, on a windy day you could lose a disc.
Other Thoughts: very nice course, seems fairly new, not very crowded. Overall, Great Course to play if you're in the Greenville area.

Pros: Great Course, Very clean, The pads are concrete, and the course flows well. While going through the course it changes often with open areas with wind, or blind baskets with trees, to along water, or over a run off ditch.
Cons: Some of the holes have too many trees with a confusing fairway, you may need to brush up on your thumber before taking on some of the holes. Once again no trash cans which its a new course so its clean now, but there are lots of college age people.
Other Thoughts: Ther is NO smoking, NO alcohol, NO pets. People were smoking on the course. I dont care BUT course rules over ride what you may want to do. ALSO there was no drinking water fountains and NO trashcans. I see issues with these coming up at another time and place. Other wise GREAT COURSE!

Pros: Course offers a relatively comfortable round. New park is free from trash and rough hazards. The difficulty increases as the round progresses. Plenty of variation in shot selection, with a few nice boomers. 18 is a beautiful hole to finish.
Cons: The terrain is flat and monotonous. Many baskets are blind and until tee signs are erected they are hard to find. As a collegiate recreation center, golfers must follow school rules including bans on pets, alchohol, and tobacco.
Other Thoughts: A fun and friendly course good for casual and advanced players alike. During summer evening or morning rounds are preffered, due to a prevailing lack of shade.

Pros: This course has both a variety of short and long shots. The long shots dont have too may trees in the way. All the short game goes though tall young pine trees. Since This course is a part of campus there are always people out and about. Tractor mowers make it real easy to see the fair way sine the OB grass is almost a foot higher then the fairway. The last holes 16-18 are golf course like.
Cons: OB can sometimes be tricky to see your disc. However they are still clearing out stuff. Today when i was there i had to play 16 off the tee since they were clearing the area with a backhoe. It is easy to lose a disc in the young pines since branches are from the ground up.(unlike older pines where the only thing to hit is the trunk)
Other Thoughts: There working hard to clear all the debris and brush out of the way. In the next month they plan to put signs at the tees to help explain where the basket is.Since this course is part of the ECU campus there is no alcohol or tobacco allowed. I like going out and not having to look at 40's in every trash bin along the course. Best place to park is left of the second club house.Overall very cool course. Sometimes it can be hard to find the next basket so be on the lookout.
