Augusta Disc Golf set out to do something different with the second course on the property, and they succeeded. They describe the course as their "Vision of the Modern Game" which turns out to be an 8000+ foot, Par 69 course with a great combination of open bomber holes and tight technical wooded holes.

Hole lengths average out to 450' over the 18 holes, and the holes themselves vary from 252' to 760' in length. Unlike many courses the some of the longest holes (including THE longest) are in the woods. So get ready for some truly challenging Par 5 woods golf with holes of 560', 592' and 760'. There are nine Par 4 holes as well.

The course begins (Holes 1-3) and ends (Hole 18) in the open, with 500' - 600' holes playing across a beautiful sloping meadow. The uphill/downhill aspect adds a lot of challenge, and there are enough trees and shrubs to keeps you honest.

But the real fun is in the woods, where a combination of trees (so many trees...), exposed boulders, rock walls and slopes give each hole its own feel. Many of the holes offer two distinct fairway choices. Hole 10 is a good example: A 272' uphill shot with one fairway requiring a sweeping left-bending drive, and the other offering the opposite sweeping right-bending drive. Pick one or the other, there is no straight route.

The long Hole 11 is a fine example of a complex Par 5 hole. The initial part of the fairway sweeps to the right, but reverses halfway down and sweeps to the left. You need to find the correct landing zone and be in the middle or you may find yourself cut off from a good second or third shot. Accuracy is more important than distance, even on this 760' hole.

All of the wooded holes offer reasonable width fairways, with some starting wide and narrowing toward the pin. A couple sort of devolve into widely spaced trees near the pin, so by the time you get there you'll have the choice of a couple of routes.

Course infrastructure is outstanding, with 28-chain DISCatchers in an interesting orange-yellow color. Excellent concrete teepads and colorful descriptive tee signs. Benches and trash cans at every hole, and plenty of next-tee signs make navigation a snap. There is a bathroom at the clubhouse and at least two porta-potties out on the course.

This is a long, challenging course and I'm glad that I played it first thing in the morning. My original plan was to play it at the end of a day after having played two other 18 holes courses, and that would have been a mistake. Try to be fresh when you hit this one.

There are plenty of roots, rocks and lumps on the ground, so ground play is unpredictable. Landing in front of the basket and expecting it to smoothly slide up may leave you a bit frustrated.

There is a single tee and basket location at each hole, though there is talk of adding Gold tees to stretch the course even farther. Yikes!

There is a unbelievable number of excellent disc golfs courses in the Augusta area, and the Augusta Disc Golf complex holds it own. Given it's location in the heart of Augusta it is popular.

I played the other course in this complex (Quarry Run) on a Monday evening and it was busy. I ended up playing through 3 different groups as a single. But at 9:00 Tuesday morning I had this one to myself, and enjoyed watching turkeys and deer on the course.

$6 for one round or $8 for all day is a small price to play for this immaculately maintained course complex.

I had the great pleasure to play this awesome course today, it was well worth the drive! I'd heard from other players that this track didn't mess around so I was a little nervous going into it.
I am by no means a great player, but I found the course very playable for my skill level and the pars to be quite fair. When I got out into the back 9, things got rough. (Get It? Golf puns) The holes back there can really test your mettle.
They have a beautiful facility there. I can't wait to make another trip up!

Watch out for wind on the 18th, it'll get ya!
