Pros: Layout - Yea the layout is totally bodacious. If I was ranking this course on layout alone it would be a 4 easy style.

Great lines that make you work the disc, the baskets all seemed in just the right place and distance. Multiple routes/options on holes.

Great mixture of hole types and distances. 2 pads; whites look to be good and fun for all players. I played the blues which are challenging but fair and still a ton of fun.

There's a good disc golf terrain out here with some nice elevation changes and fast greens. Really tricky pin locations on some holes that make you be accurate on approach.

Some solid par 4's out there where you have to hit a good placement shot off the tee to have a good look.

Course flows really well, basket to next tee is usually very close.

Atmosphere - Really good spot for disc golf, nice little area with some good looking holes. You get a nice remote feeling when you're out there and it wasn't even close to busy. Nothing else in the park except for disc golf so it's great.

Equipment - New large/level concrete pads for both tees. New baskets. New Tee signs which are great looking and informative.
Cons: Layout - Not many complaints here. I could see a few spots where some additional limbs could come down, especially higher up in the fairway.

It would be nice if more of the immediate rough could be cleared out, it's thick in there with a ton of underbrush. A lot of the stuff that has been cleared just got laid down right off the fairway.

Equipment - Some of the pads can get very sandy, might be nice for the locals to stick some brooms out there to keep it safe.

Atmosphere - Again a lot of the stuff that got cut is laying around right off the fairway, looks a bit ugly. Still a raw area and needs some traffic to beat it in. There's a pond on the course that is utilized but no water is in it. When they fix it it will look bad arse.
Other Thoughts: My favorite course in this area, when some of the cons I mentioned are fixed this course will be even better and I might bump it up.

I'll say again the layout is top notch, Stan did a good job with this one and kudos to everyone who helped get this in the ground.

Pros: UPDATE:
NEW Signage for every hole. Picture includes layout from both tee pads, intended direction of shot, and direction to next tee pad.
FRONT NINE
Hole 1: Slight Dog Leg Right, it's tough because you can't see the basket so it's pretty much a blind tee off, but it's a very doable par 3.
Hole 2: Dog Leg Left, this is another hole where you can't really see the basket and I like that because it forces you to have control and be able to accurately place your shots.
Hole 3: Dog Leg Right, this hole is very deceptive at first glance. again it's a blind tee shot into a guarded basket up a hill. Great use of terrain and just enough elevation to make it fun. You've got to set up a good second shot here in order to make par.
Hole 4: Straight Shot, a few stumps make for small obstacles, the fairway is a little tighter than the first three holes, but it's a doable par 3, possible birdie.
Hole 5: Uphill Shot, pretty similar I think to the distance of hole four, nothing crazy to have to throw around.
Hole 6: Downhill Split, you can go right or left. I think the short tee would be a much easier look on this hole. It's a little tough to get the angle for the right side from the long tee. I'm sure once it gets played more a few of the branches will get knocked down and it'll open up a little. Similar to hole 3 the difficulty factor is higher and accuracy is rewarded.
Hole 7: Dog Leg Left: I'd almost call it a double-dog leg. It's a longer par 3 that really continues to curve left. Seriously doubt anyone's going to ace this one. I'd almost call it a par 4 a least from the long tee's, it tough but not impossible.
Hole 8: Slight Dog Leg Right into an Up and Over, throw over a hill and the basket is at the bottom of the hill. Again a blind shot, it's a doable par 3.
Hole 9: Dog Leg Right, tight alley way but if you can hit it, you can set yourself up for a birdie. Very easy to end up in the wood on this one. It opens up after the tunnel and there are a few trees to throw around.
-These leads you back around to the start, I like that both the front and the back nine start and end pretty much in the same place makes for good course flow and the ability to get in a quick 9 holes.

BACK NINE
Hole 10: Straight Shot with a slight Downhill and Uphill at the end. It's a tight fairway because of the trees, I'm sure in the summer the growth adds a lot of difficulty in terms of visibility.
Hole 11: Probably the shortest hole on the course, a straight shot 200+ ft., should be a pretty easy birdie.
Hole 12: Backwards S-Curve that ends Downhill. This is a great hole another one with added difficulty. Again I'd almost say the pattern of this course is every third hole has some added challenge. Another blind tee off, but if you can set yourself up to the right of the bottleneck of trees you'll have a much easier approach.
Hole 13: Uphill, narrow fairway, the hole is on the left when you get to the top of the hill. Very doable par 3, gotta keep it straight.
Hole 14: Straight Shot with Slight Downhill at the end. You can fade right and still be ok. The trees bottleneck as you get closer to the hole. I don't know why but I enjoyed this shot. It's not particularly difficult but you have to be accurate.
Hole 15: Downhill Curve to the Left. Again every third hole, this is an awesome shot, possibility for an ACE!
Hole 16: Straight Shot over a small hill, and then the basket is uphill. The trees make it a tight alley way. Great design and use of the terrain.
Hole 17: Throw from a hill top, carry the "water" and dog leg hard right at the end. Great hole, I'm sure when the water level is up it's one of those mental mind F's. I'd say 14-17 make for a great finish. I played the loop twice, I liked them so much.
Hole 18: Blind Continuous Curve Left, very similar to hole 7 except you're throwing downhill instead of uphill. And the basket is on a little hill. I'd say 17 is the harder of the two, which messes up my every third hole pattern, but it is a tough shot from the long tee.

Lots of interesting shots on this course. Most of the fairways are pretty open, but control and accuracy are greatly rewarded. I really like that every hole isn't a par 3, gets a little boring when all the holes are the same.
Cons: Signage is up.

This biggest issue is not being able to see the baskets from the tee pads. Obviously, adds to the difficulty of the course, just makes it tough for people who have never played the course. I still gave this course a 4.0, I'd say it's a 4.25 not quite a 4.5 just because the park isn't finished. The work that's gone into this course is EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE.
Other Thoughts: Overall, I'd say this is more of a "pro-level" course compared to those in the area. The design and use of elevation and terrain is awesome. It's certainly one of the better wooded courses I've played. I really like that although it's wooded it's open enough to use a driver.
It's a tough course to score well on. Lots of blind tee shots and good use of elevation especially on the back nine. It's a humbling course compared to the other courses in the area. Some of the fairways are pretty narrow, but from the long tees this is a course that will test your skill level for sure. Accuracy is key

Pros: An overall great course!


-Teepads! The teepads make a huge difference for this course.
-Variety of shots and fair for lefties.
-Tough (In a good way!)
-Lines... Beautiful Lines!
-Numbered DGA Baskets.
-They now have a parking lot.
-There is a nice big field to practice some drives.
Cons:

-Like most have said some fairways can be rough.
-The Course needs signage. The ribbons on the trees works but it will be much easier to navigate once some signs are put up.
Other Thoughts: This is now my favorite course in the area and I can't wait to play it again!

Pros: It has the potential to be one of the best courses around. It has terrain and elevation changes that will definitely test you skills. The front 9 is fairly short and mostly straight, with a few hole of 350'. The back 9 is longer and the fairways are kind of tight. Hole 12 is 610' and it definitely challenges your placement skills.
Cons: It could use some tlc, needs more traffic to beat down the bushes. It could use some teepads, but the tees aren't difficult to throw from as is. It could use some markers showing the location of the basket from the tee, and the next tee from the basket. The back 9 is in worse shape than the front. Holes 15 & 16 have alot of debris left in the fairways from cutting the trees down.
Other Thoughts: This course is going to be fantastic once it gets broken in and the signs are put up. It will definitely be a course i play regularly.

Pros: There's some fantastic looks on this course highlighting well defined angles, very tight gaps, some length, elevation changes, and even a ceiling or two. All 18 holes will challenge your whole arsenal and demand respect as the rough can be tough and the trees can be mean. (We played the longer flags.)

It navigates pretty easily, with a bit of common sense. I'll elaborate more on this a bit later.

I enjoyed the back most. There's a few longer holes to air out precision shots and utilizing elevation more. 15 and 16 had a nice summer ceiling; 17 over the "pond", 18 to the "cliff edge" pin setting. The whole back rocked actually!

I'll edit my rating to a 4.5 when it gets broken in like Pine Cone Crush, if it gets played. I hope it does.
Cons: It lives up to the wilderness for sure, still needing a lot of traffic and mowing/bush hogging on many holes.

Some tee pads would be nice, but I don't see that happening here for now. Better tee markers and some hole layout's would help a ton in the meantime. The tee flags worked but it was hunting for tape in the woods, followed by checking the lines on many holes. The transfer from 9-10 is slightly less than intuitive, but manageable. A "to 10" (Right facing out from 9, Left facing from THE parking spot) sign would be helpful in the parking lot.

With some of the tight lines, length, and the wild, there's some blind shots. We used a spotter on quite a few holes, but it was our first time there.

The pond on 17 was a puddle! It'll be a nice one if it fills in with some rain.
Other Thoughts: A sign to the parking lot would be extremely helpful, turning onto a dirt road into a seemingly empty field. DGCR has great directions though using the map function :)

Pros: So well laid out! I love it! The 9th brings you back to the "parking area" and you don't get the same play on any whole. The wood are nice, the terrain is great and it is the hardest course I can get to in under a hour. if you have a favorite throw you will get to use if here. I love s curving flicks and I get to use them at least twice with heart breakingly good effect. Its always nice to have one or two holes made just for you and it seems like this course has a couple for everyone.
Cons: TICKS,TICKS,TICKS!! This course just became a 18 holer about two weeks ago and doesnt get a lot of play because of its location and the locals dont like seeing how bad they really are when they leave Pine Cone Crush. The fairways are rough with lots of stumps sending up shoots and dead fall from all the trees that are still standing.
The course is owned by the Village of Pinehurst and is located on what will one day be a sports complex but that is many years off I am sure and therefore it doesnt get any love from town workers. The ticks are bad. 40% Deet doesnt touch them. The Best thing I have have come up with is two table spoons veggie oil, one table spoon aloe, and 28 drops of lavender oil all mixed together. Ticks hate lavender and the aloe makes it hard for them to move and the oil keeps it all on you. To be honest my buddies wife found that for us. Also POISON IVY/OAK big time. If you dont know what this stuff looks like make sure you check it out online or play with someone who knows because it is everywhere. On 13 you have to hop through a field of the crap.
Other Thoughts: The course needs love, big time, but you can just see what a great place it will be in the end. It needs bushhog and some herbicides to get ride of the undergrowth on the fairways and the poison ivy/oak respectively but I cant stay away because I know the first I shoot under par will be like the first time I... uh, well, nevermind

Pros: UPDATE: I was prophetic when I rated this 9er a 4. As an 18, it is definitely that, no worse than a 3.5 at least. Excellent variety of hole shapes, extremely well placed and poured concrete tees, good use of elevation, and the back 9 is some great golf. This course offers a little for everyone except maybe a challenge for elite players but they can't have fun here then they might be Russian or something. The course still flows very well.

These are nice woods. Not Appalachian Trail pretty but still, pretty nice stroll.
Cons: Well, it's new so there is still some rough rough and nature is trying to reclaim the fairways in spots. Patches of briers exist here and there and a freaking horsefly accompanied my head practically the entire round. A couple of holes were a little tricky trying to discern which way the fairway went but not too bad.

^A lot of this should be greatly alleviated with traffic which, with the quality of this course is all but assured to come.

This park is super new, there is nothing else here but 9 quality holes and a port-a-john. Don't bring family members. For some reason, the parking lot is cordoned away from hole 1 and hole 10 is actually the first hole you'd naturally walk too. No biggie.

Other Thoughts: The guys working on this course did a bang up job. As far as design goes, they receive very high marks. There's not much that can be improved upon outside some additional multi-shot placement holes (obvious par 4's and 5's) to make it more of a gold level/championship caliber course, not that it really needs it. With some underbrush smoothed out and amenities like benches and other finishing touches like that, this course could easily be rated higher without much ballyhoo.

I wish there was a course or two as good as this one in the immediate area, it would make it a nice little weekender to drive too on the regular.

Fave holes: Hole 15 you just want to empty your bag on, super fun downhill ace run. Hole 10 is a very nice hole too.

Pros: This course has a great mix of shots, for all (most) skill levels. Some very well thought placement shots and a great use of the topography For NC, it's fairly open (in the fairway!) I really like that it will have long (pro) pads also. Very easy to navigate and the front 9 brings you back to the parking area.
Cons: I didn't find very many cons. Off the fairways can be rough, but the trees are short and most rough can be powered out or over.
Other Thoughts: I have played NC for over 15 yrs and seen my share of courses. The 9 here were easily some of my fave golf. I have played Rennissance, Hornets Nest, and Sugaw in Charlotte and you can feel Stan's presence on every hole. The back pads are a beast! Some nice placements, around blind bends, up and down hills. It really has "every"shot out there. Plus its 15 minutes from me! Watch for this one over the years!

Pros: Pros: Great layout, unlike a lot of courses I have played it does not discriminate. This is a beautiful place for a course good use of topography. If you throw, back hand, sidearm, left or right handed it seems fair to all players. Concrete tees. It has a good verity of length, the longer holes require really accurate throws if you want a par The short tees are fair for the newer ankd or shorter distance throwers
The arrows that were put up are very helpful. The new back 9 offer some real challenges with #12 being a long down hill hole and 13 up hill all the way it may be the toughest hole there
Cons: Cons: Concrete tees are too smooth it dry weather and sand on the tees it is like you are on ball barings Still not the easiest of courses to find but the new entrance is very helpful, being as it is a new course the rough is thick, it needs a lot of play to break it Holes #12 & #13 have a goodly amount of poison Ivy in the fairways. The areas behind or to the side of the baskets on 12, 13, and 15 need more clearing and some of the small trees (saplings) around the 18th basket could be removed. The baskets are DGA's cheapest mach line basket the mach II and I was very disappointed in its catching. I have had several through putts, maybe it is that the chains are light it seems so and the disc just blows them to the side. I believe a 3rd layer of chains is needed.
There is a goodly amount of brush limbs etc along some fairways. Numerous holes have low limbs that hinder flight of the disc, A few benches sure would be nice. The parking lot is a fair walk from the first tee. sure would be nice to have a practice basket so you do not have to interfere with anybody on 9 or 18

Other Thoughts: the course now has 18 holes but more work is needed on fairways, and other amenities when complete this will be a 4.5 at least
there is a picture of the layout at http://www.dgcoursereview.com...14&page=2 I am not sure how to move it to this page. They now have a port-a-john at the parking lot

Pros: Good mix of distances and turns keep you on your toes. Like the use of terrain throughout. Very unforgiving of mistakes, but nicely reward a good throw. For the sheer beauty of a walk in the woods in peace I would say it is worth it.
Cons: Brand new course so a lot if these things are probably in the works. Our group went out to play using vague directions from a friend. No one was playing it when we drove by the first time and as there was no sign we completely missed the course. Some tee boxes were rather hard to locate both the path to the next hole and the tee boxes themselves. Personally like natural tee boxes so just put a little gravel to mark the spot would help greatly. Also several of the holes had piles of brush/limbs etc just off the fairway. These can be a pain to throw from and also
Other Thoughts: Looking forward to this becoming another great Moore County course. Can't wait for it to become an 18. Hope I can help when that time comes.
