Has Potential! Pros: - this course offers a challenge for experienced players without being too intimidating for beginners.
- a lot of shorty holes to bag a bunch of birdies if you're on your game. if you're off a little, you can get in trouble quick.
- the college seems dedicated to maintaining the course.
- a great mix of shots for RHBH and LHBH throwers.
- some nice elevation changes.
- a nice course to utilize your bag of tricks - especially if you get off the fairway.
- easy to get to.
- course map at entrance.
- a nice addition to the Spartanburg area. It's a great course that finds its place between the short 9 hole beginner course at Wofford College (downtown) and the 18 hole advanced course at Va-Du-Mar (Boiling Springs).

Cons: - not crazy about the tee pads, though i've seen a lot worse.
- distances/pin locations on tee signs need to be adjusted.
- a couple of blind holes.
- don't like the cross-up when finishing 18 and having to cross in front of the basket on 7, which is a blind hole, to get back to the parking lot. definitely keeps a heads up on that one.

Other Thoughts: - if the course is not maintained in the coming Spring and Summer months, you'll spend a good bit of your time looking for discs.
- the tee signs are nice and easy to find - the graphic designer did a good job, but think that he/she was given wrong information on a few holes.
- they've recently removed a few "player" trees which takes the guesswork out on a couple of holes. That's great for beginners, but not as challenging for others.
- i've played this course about 25 times (since before the tee boxes were put in - and both during the summer/winter) and it's nice to watch the course develop. It has potential to be a real nice one as long as the college/club maintains it.

Pros: 18 holes of fun relaxing disc golf with a private feel. We were the only disc golfers there.
-The front 9 plays a lot shorter so you can quickly pick up some birdies here if you have good tee shots. You can easily be seven down by hole 9. I've seen it happen. The back 9 is longer and lends the advantage to your longer throwers. You can still get in trouble on the back 9 if you aren't throwing accurate. You can easily give some of that seven down from the front away. I've seen it happen.
-There are some sweet shorter ace opportunites here.
-With some TLC this could be an excellent 18 hole course. I see potential for a 36 hole layout or two distinct 18 hole course. This could be one of the best in the upstate if the college allows it to happen.

Cons: -Tee signs lack proper distance. One hole had 336ft and it was all of about 136ft.
-With all the available space it seems they didn't utilize it well. This could of been a more wooded course with length and skill taken into account a little more.
-The longer holes appear to be at random in some instances. 17 being the only exception (really enjoyed throwing 17)
-It is as if they needed to make it longer so they just slapped a tee box in a random spot and tucked the basket waaay down without the possibility of a birdie. We want birdies on the long holes toooo!
-Rough is serious. Some clearing would help with this. Briars galore! You need a spotter on several holes.

Other Thoughts: -Teepads are woodchips. They did not bother me at all. I can see how some people don't like them. I did not like the slopes of them though. If you are going to make it woodchips make sure they are 10 feet long of woodchips.
I don't see what all the sad faces are about. I actually enjoyed myself here. I would come back for sure. I shot -5 and -6 in two rounds so given that those are my only two rounds there the course isn't super hard. Scores should be much higher here. It is within 10 minutes of Boiling Springs so take a road trip and you can play the more technical/harder course there.

2 Courses in One
Pros: -This is an intermediate level course that enables that level of player to work on skills to get to the next level.
-The front plays to the more technical player whereas the back 9 gives the advantage to the long bombers. This course really has two distinct feels.
-Fairways are well defined for the most part. Most holes have clear lines you are expected to hit.
-Shorter course (but not overly short) that can be a self-esteem booster.
-There are few holes that offer solid ace opportunities.
-Plenty of room to expand the course.
-Private Feel

Cons: -Tee signs appear to be well done, but some don't give you a real feel for where the hole is.
-Several blind shots with rough nearby. I would utilize a spotter at times and, as has been stated before, definitely on 18.
-The "rough" at times can really be rough. Briars abound! However, this should get better as the course is played.
-The silt fence comes into play on several shots.
-Teepads are not the end all be all, but are workable. You will end up with a woodchip or tow in your shoe.

Other Thoughts: Overall, this is a very fun course to play. It's not terribly difficult, but I don't think it's meant to be. It's a great course to learn on and develop skills. This is a good course to hit if you're in the area and makes a great day trip when paired with the course at Va-Du-Mar Park.

Pros: Just 5 minutes from the house. Set in the woods but not a lot of trees in your flight paths.
Cons: Tee boxes are horrific. I can easily see some sprained ankles.
Other Thoughts: Has a lot of potential. Just needs a few tweaks and some TLC.

Rough and short, but there's hope
Pros: Lots of potential here, and ace runs every couple holes. Will post more later with hole details.
Cons: USE A SPOTTER, especially on 18 but anywhere there's a chance of some deep thorns or blind throws.
Other Thoughts: I think a 2-Reasonable rating fits, nothing really unreasonable except perhaps the fairway on 1. There are some fun shots and good basket placements, but lots of work needed.
