Pros:

Beaufort County Community College has an enjoyable 18-hole layout. After being a little concerned about its quality on the front 9, it got more enjoyable throughout the round.
- Excellent mix of all aspects of the landscape: open holes, wooded holes, a smidge of elevation throughout, a couple water holes, holes playing throughout campus, holes playing close to building, holes playing close to bridges, and secluded layouts. All told, a solid mix of everything.
- #1 is a fun starter. The wetland area to the right of the basket comes into play more than seems from the tee (as I found out when my disc landed in there). Thankfully, a recent spell of little rain let that area dry enough for me to retrieve my disc.
- #2 is a fun tee shot throwing over the same watery area. Your second shot leads to a basket on the edge of an open field. You finally get your first taste of the woods on #3, a short, downhill, dogleg right.
- Holes #8 & 9 are gorgeous layouts in the middle of campus. #8 plays across a small stream (#9 plays alongside it), to a basket protected by several trees. Road is OB to the right and a pedestrian bridge to the left provides a cool backdrop more than a challenge. I threw towards the road and left my disc fade back to the basket for an easy two. #9, has a mando in addition to the water. It's a tough par 3 to get a birdie on; but, it's a relatively simple par 3. #8 might be the prettiest hole on the course, even with the two water holes coming up.
- #10 & 11 are cross-crossing fairways going over a small pond. Both are easy mid-range, or putters, as the lengths are 267 and 240, respectively. # 10 is a more open fairway with a basket closer to the edge of the water. #11 has several trees in play, with the OB parking lot actually being more of an obstacle than the water. Two fun, scenic shots.
- #12 has more danger involved than seen from the tee. Seems like a relatively simple tee shot until I got halfway down the fairway and noticed a small drainage pond was to the right of the basket. Thankfully again, a lack of recent rains has the water levels down. Just be prepared.
- #14 is one final hole with the buildings in play. It's only 167 feet from the shorts. Go long and another pedestrian bridge comes into play. My disc sailed then skidded 40 feet past the basket. I had an interesting second shot either throwing over or under the bridge. Had to settle for an easy par with no real birdie run.
- The final 3 holes are all interesting, if not overly challenging. #16 is in the woods and one last challenge. #17 has a garden area in play to the left of the basket. #18 requires you throwing over the same water that's in play on #1.
- Excellent tee signs and signage throughout the course. Very informative; although, a bit too reliant on people knowing building numbers.

Cons:

I wish the course had a couple more tough holes. A couple more legit par 4s or 5s would add to its bite.
- I don't recall seeing a single long tee anywhere. As such, some of the hole distances are messed up. Hole #1 isn't 333 or 348 as listed on this site. It's actually 252 as listed on UDisc. The reason I went left of the basket with my tee shot is that the basket came into play sooner than I thought.
- Parts of the course won't be available while students are here. You'll be skipping a good chunk of holes #8 - 16, I'd imagine.
- #3 - 7 were the weakest holes on the course. I was thinking this was a dud after hole #7. Fortunately, it improved a lot after that.
- There's a lot of walking throughout the course. You're going 800 feet from #7 to 8, walking from one side of campus to the other.
- There was a decent amount of trash on the wooded holes. Clearly a lot of people hide behind the buildings near where #16's basket is located. That, or the disc golfers here are disposing of some funky stuff.

Other Thoughts:

I generally came away pleased with my round at BCCC. If the layout was flipped, and I played the back nine first, then i'd be feeling like I ended on a down note.
- Speaking of, #10 is the complete opposite side of campus from #1. You're in for the full 18, unless you bail out after #7, and head straight to #17. That'd be a depressing 9-hole loop.
- I like the backdrop of the buildings on the course. Those were some of the most scenic holes on the entire course.
- There were plenty of fun holes for sure, but the course did lack a true 'wow' hole. A lot of role players missing one star player to compliment.
- The best stretch of holes is easily #8 - 11. Four fun, scenic holes in a row.
- The stretch of #4 - 7 all blended together. It was a stretch of throwing a putter straight just to keep it on the fairway. Nothing memorable here. At least #3 was slightly different.
- I'll rate this course as slightly above average. I kept wavering between a 2.5 and 3.0. I'll defer to the higher rating. Part of me knows in my tougher rating days, this would have been a 2.5 at best. So, enjoy the more mellow me who's become a sucker for cheap, easy birdies.
