I had been driving for what seems like forever in torrential downpours and though I didn't feel like I could brave a full 18 holes in moderate rain this 9 hole flat college campus course seemed like an ideal leg stretch location.

It's mainly a field/rec area with a good amount of smaller trees dotted around and hole lengths in the 200-350ft range but the design is actually pretty decent. Some actual shot shaping needed on several holes and the saftety around greens and tees was clearly thought out by someone who knew disc golf.

Pads are just wooden planks holding in mulch, but it seemed fresh and every hole had a rake which is something I've not seen.

Baskets are disccatchers with custom Coastal Carolina teal bands and are numbered.

Navigation has no signs but is fairly easy to follow as long as you look in every direction.

No signs, mulch pads, and just nine holes though the fact that they are on the campus and actually are legit holes needs some respect.

If you know what your going there for you won't likely be disappointed.

I had a good time throwing there in the rain and it was a good place to practice for upcoming events where the weather might suck.

The Coastal Carolina 9 hole disc golf course is located on its University Grounds . You can have the hassle of a parking pass or paying to park , or just park across the street from the course at a college bookstore in the far end of a big lot . I saw no bathrooms here , but the course is fast and there are plenty of fast food places to go afterwards or before .
The Equipment - The tee pads for this course are natural and mostly pegged with white pegs . The tee signs are kind of a circular laminated plastic with hole number and distance in yards ( ? ) . I saw some with par 2 on them . . What The ?!? The baskets are yellow numbered Discatchers .
The Landscape - All of the course is located on a piece of lawn , and really shouldn't hold all 9 holes . The lawn was freshly mowed and bushes and trees trimmed . Maintenance keeps up on college property well . The course is parking lot flat . It's not wide open , though . It will remind you of a park style course . There are bushes and small trees to negotiate on every hole . Mostly just 1 set of them per hole .
Course Appearance/Atmosphere - The grounds staff has done a great job of keeping the campus trash free and clean , If you have tunnel vision , the course itself looks okay . In a small part of the backround , it will remind you of being on the CCU campus . The other 3 sides either have roads or sidewalks surround the course . The street traffic is constant , and any remnants of nature might have become road kill by now . Some bushes help block out some of the cars .
The Highlights - Not a lot of highlights here , but some surprising length . Don't put a lot of fact into the face page of Disc Golf Review . Sine CCU designed and put in this course , they have upgraded some things . I saw some basket tubes here which means that there are now alternate pins to go with the upgraded Discatcher baskets . #4 is a good hole if you are aware of which basket you are throwing to . The basket is hidden and just to the left of the tee , with some large bushes hiding it .
Signature Hole - I liked #9 ( 325' ) . It is a S shot with the basket tucked into a small green deep between a set of trees . Disc Risk - The lawn is well taken care of . There are chances to throw your disk into some deep bushes , but they can be easily retrieved . The risk is low .
The Time - Since the course is all on one section of lawn , it took me about 27 minutes to play this course . A group of 4 will go through in less than an hour .
CCU is not that big , and Georgetown College right across the street will benefit from an accessible course within walking distance of both main campuses . .

#1 Logjam - If 4 or more groups or even singles are on this course at any given time , there will be some standing around . The course plays mostly back and forth or at an angle , with the exception of maybe #4 . No real blind shots , so no one will be in danger unless someone throws a plastic rocket into the wind .
#2 Navigation - The tees are numbered , as are the baskets , but without a map , you might end up shooting at a wrong basket ( like I did when I teed off on 4 and ended up playing to #6 basket ) . You will definitely find all of the 9 holes , you might just get turned around some , like #8 to 9 . .
#3 - This course might bore some of the better players . Lots of straight or slightly angled shots . A flat course with no water or length will only make for a practice facility for them. IMO , this is the next step up from local courses Sherwood and Waccamaw ,
#5 Parking Safely - I am guessing that as long as you park as far away from the bookstore as possible no one will bother your car . You will only be out of it jor just over 30 minutes . I still checked on mine a time or 2 , just in case an employee or manager saw me pull out a disc bag from the car .

This course is an okay play for the students of both colleges to let off some steam and grab a quick round before cracking some books or some beer . Looking this course over , I saw some potential for some night golf for the students and locals to get a glow fix on a Friday or Saturday night . Maybe have a part of some proceeds go toward some better tee pads . I think that they have the cheap signs because they pull right out of the ground and most of the grounds can be mowed without any trimming . At least they have the school mascot/logo on them . I thik it a good idea to put a disc golf course on campus grounds , It is good advertisement for players to stop by and admire the campus , and introduce themselves to the local population .
My Recommendation - This course can't be in a much better location than where it is . Students from 2 colleges have access , it is right in the small town of Conway and even the locals can tell you how to at least drive to the campus .
Families , coeds , dates , faculty , locals and 1 disc wonders should fall in love with the course . Intermediates and up might be able to play here with just a couple of midranges and a putter , and it would be a good warmup course for Socastee , less than 20 minutes away . As good for the traveler as it is for the Course Collector . This course sits right off of 501 , and is on the way to or from Myrtle Beach , is a fast play easy-on-the-legs stretcher , and can be grouped with several other courses going either way . Not a place to put a lot of emphasis on playing , it is still worth a try , and maybe drive through the campuses and the city .

Coastal Carolina's layout gives you a sense of low country disc golf: flat, field disc golf. It's perfectly suitable if you've got the place to yourself; otherwise, she looks much different.
- Wow, this course plays so much like Park Circle in North Charleston. Instead of crossing roads after every hole at PC, the layout is all in one field here.
- Nine holes in a five to six acre field. Nine holes averaging 284 feet in a space that size. I'll give the designers credit for making it work.
- The layout flows nicely with holes mostly having slightly different looks. That usually means the obstacles on the course are trees, shrubs, or plants located near baskets. Slight dogleg right around trees on #1, basket protected by a tree on #7, basket behind tree and bushes on #9. You get the idea.
- #4 - 6 is the best stretch of holes on the course. #4 has the most flow to its fairway. It's the longest hole on the course at 327 feet. It's also the only hole on the course where you can't just bail out far left or right.
- #5 & 6 have trees lining the right side of the fairway. They serve as a nice buffer from the roads while potentially penalizing any shot that goes too far right.
- Excellent course for field work and/or a safari layout. I'd reckon locals/students have created more enjoyable layouts than the actual course itself.
- Course is good for casual players. I imagine a lot of students with one or two discs hit up this course a lot.
- Very clean course. Lawn was freshly mowed. No trash or anything else that I noticed.

Navigation. It can be better. In a singular field, and with the UDisc app map, this is a complicated course to play as a first timer. A lot of 'is that the correct tee?' or 'wait, which basket am I throwing to?' questions to myself. On one hole, I met a local who pointed out the tee markers were actually in a different spot that what's marked on the app.
- Along those lines, tees are flagged by two white markers in the ground. There were also other white markers throughout the field that seemingly didn't have anything to do with the course. Maybe they're alternate tees perhaps?
- Without a course map or guide, first time navigation is tricky. On several holes, the markers were in different spots than what the map indicated. So, who knows?
- Overlapping holes. If you're building a nine-hole layout in a field, make sure the field is big enough. CCU's layout is tight, especially for being so ambitious with length. I would not have fun playing here if there were players on every hole. I'd have to watch for errant shots from multiple directions and I'd be too concerned about keeping my tee shot dead-straight. I think #1 & 6 are the closest things to having isolated layouts.
- Unused space. The grass field to the right of #6 could be used for one or two baskets. Take out baskets from this space, put them over there, and suddenly everything isn't so congested.

- Your impression of the CCU course will most likely be based upon the number of other players at the time of your round. If you're like me, and there was only one other player, you will enjoy your round as you've plenty of space to throw. If you're playing when the course is crowded, you won't like it as much. She doesn't look the same when you're sober.
- As much as I can appreciate or criticize the holes themselves, it really is about the spacing. It wasn't until #8 that I noticed an obviously less-than-stellar layout. You can easily play this course with nine straight 3s and never be at risk for a bogey or have a birdie run if you throw away from the trees. You can also try to hug every corner, risk smacking trees, and most likely salvage par with minimal effort.
- Tee markers should have hole numbers on them. That would help with some confusion.
- With this field, the course could be getting redesigned all the time. Why not get creative, have multiple pin positions, and create different looks all the time? The current layout would get repetitive pretty fast. Make the best of this use of land and get weird.
- Based on the course at the time of when I played, I liked it. It's a longer layout than previously, based on older reviews. It does give players a chance to throw multiple discs off the tees. Just avoid the crowds and it should be a nice round.

Nice grass on this pretty piece of campus.
The baskets are all in great shape.
Easy to locate, right at the campus entrance from 501.
Not much chance of losing a disc here.
Plenty of distance for a niner.

No tees or tee signs. Most holes have PVC pipes marking the tees, but not all. I just walked a few feet toward the next tee, and picked a spot.
A little tough to find the 1st "tee", the map on here is not current.
Parking in the lot next to the course could be a problem, park across the campus drive, by the bookstore.
No water, restrooms or any signage.

Set in a nice, park-like lot on the campus. A good place for students to come out and unwind, without being difficult. A good place to bring beginners, great grass, limited trees, not much chance of losing one. A great place to bring the little ones, they can make their own tees and run around all they want.
This course does have some good points, just not too challenging for anything above a beginner.
As another reviewer noted, the tees, tee signs and old, shorter layout are gone. These holes now take up the entire lot and it creates some nice holes. There are some trees to shape lines, but not a lot.
It looks like someone started to redesign it as a longer course, but after they moved the baskets, they moved on. A little TLC and maybe some challenging tee positions and this could be an interesting niner.

Wide open holes.
Good practice course.
Easy to find and get to.

No signage. Hard to figure out where was next a couple of times. No wooded area. Not a good balanced course.

It wouldn't be hard to put 9 stakes in the ground with numbers and arrows to show where the next basket is. The PVC pipes help on most, but not all. Signage would make this a great little practice round.

Coastal Carolina University (CCU) is a fun 9-hole course on a pretty piece of property on the campus of CCU and the adjoining community college.

+ The entire course is on a beautiful tract of land, park setting, bordered by campus roads and the main highway. For a quick causal round of golf, this is the best option in Myrtle (as far as 9-holers go). I don't see a reason to pay per round at Tupelo Bay when you can play as long as you want to at CCU for free.

+ Good baskets.

+ I was really surprised by how long the holes were. Most 9-holers are pitch and putts. Not CCU. All holes are over 200 feet, almost all over 250 feet (maybe 8 out of 9?), and about half are 300+. And if that's still not long enough for you, you can play CCU safari style. It's really just a big field dotted with baskets and beach trees. The tees are natural and marked (for the most part). But you can throw to any basket from anywhere you want to.

+ Very clean and well-maintained. Manicured grass. Feels like you're on a ball golf course. No risk of disc loss. No underbrush at all.

+ Easy to get here from Myrtle Beach, right of a main highway. Park at the bookstore across the street from the course.

CCU is a fun 9-hole course, but does have some frustrations:

- The course is not well marked for navigation. Tees are marked with dual white PVC pipes. But they don't indicate which holes they're for. Sometimes it's intuitive, but not always. I played to the wrong basket a couple of times and didn't realize it until I got close enough to see the number on the basket. Also, the way they've laid out the course doesn't match up with the UDisc map. You can choose which one you want to follow though. Like I said, there aren't real tees, so you can play it however you want to.

- Tees are natural and not always well marked or easy to find.

- No elevation. (They did a good job of using the space they have though, including nearly 100% of the property and good guardian trees.)

- Not much variety. They mix it up some with distance and trees, but not much.

If you play 1 9-holer in Myrtle, play this one. If you play 2 courses in Myrtle, play Socastee and this one. Socastee is clearly tops, but Tupelo Bay is a distant third.

Landscape kept very well, beautifully mowed grass.
Bring a putter and a mid, you won't need much more. The course is great for practicing those shots!

No tees
No signage
Pretty confined space

I was disappointed when I visited this course. The pictures I had seen all showed tee boxes and great signs. When I went, all tees had been removed in return for a couple pvc poles spaced about ten feet apart and grass in the middle. All signage had been removed. The only distance I had to go off of was what had been provided on DGCR previously and was then outdated. I was unsure about a couple of baskets and their correlating tees because the only hole information was the number on top of its target, my eyes just aren't that good. Hopefully the absence of tees and signage means they're testing for a longer hole layout!

Course is easy to find, located just off a major intersection. It's well laid out, and easy to follow. No problem whatsoever getting from tee to basket to tee. I'm told there is nice signage during the on-season; off-season tee boxes are marked with PVC piping. Course is in terrific condition with few obstacles. There are a few strategic trees, but mostly wide open. Will be better as it matures. Excellent for beginners and short hitters.

Sadly, not very challenging at all. Course is wide open with very few difficulties or distractions. Will be boring for good players. Tees were barren ground, although mulch is reportedly laid down during warmer months.

Convenient to Myrtle Beach resort area and easy to find. You can easily play 9 while friends grocery shop; 15-20 minutes tops. Park across the street at the CCU Book Store, as the closest lot requires sticker.

The title says it all! Very nice well maintained course. I was on vacation when I played the course, so I was able to get in and get out when playing. I was able play the course in 15 minutes.

Other than having some weeds in the a few of the tee boxes and one of the signs being knocked down there are no other cons.

Fun short little course if your on vacation. Not much variety but the cleanliness makes up for it.

I am on vacation with my family in Myrtle Beach and this was the first thing I did this morning @7am. The course is open from sun up to sun down and is an excellent practice course.

Simply put- you only need a mid-range disc and a putter to play hole 1-8. You MIGHT need a fairway driver (thrown at 3/4 speed) for the 9th hole. I used my mid-range and putter the entire time.

The course is absolutely beautiful and the baskets are excellent.

Its short and could use a little bit more diversity

If you are looking for a course to perfect your short game, approach shots and putting, this is the place to be. I wish I had a course like this near my house for the practice it would allow.

Nice to see disc golf officially incorporated into the local university to grow the sport. The grounds of this course are impeccably maintained, far better than most short courses I have ever seen. Beautiful shrubs and flowers lined almost every hole.

Baskets were all gently-used Discatchers.

Tee boxes were ample and allowed far more runup than would be needed on most of these holes.

There was actualy fair variation in the shot types needed on this course, and a few ornamental trees actually became obstacles if the golfer missed in the wrong position.

This would be a great course to introduce a beginner, or for someone to come and play this one using SuperClass discs. I think SuperClass might make this one a lot more fun now that I think about it.

Most high level players will be able to easily birdie every hole, and have mostly unrestrained ace-runs if that is what you are looking for.

The tee signs here are really nice...far nicer than I would have expected from such a short course.

The obvious - most of these holes are well under 200 ft. I think the yardages on the signs may even be a bit generous. This is a complete pitch-and-putt. It was so short that I actually found it hard to get myself invested in the round. I can see where that would be nice for someone trying to sneak in a quick round in between classes though, so I suspect this course is filling exactly the role for which it was intended. I'm not sure if that is something that I can fault the course for.

I didn't enjoy the woodchip teeboxes. They were very uneven, so even if I had wanted to do a runup, I'm not sure if it would have been a very stable platform. Luckily a runup here isn't generally a necessity.

I am always supportive of schools setting up disc golf on their property, especially when they let outsiders come in and join in on the fun. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the available terrain used in the making of this course so it could have a bit more challenge to it (there are stakes and flags out right now with hole signs, so as far as I know this might be happening in the near future...maybe a redesign or a back 9?).

(I'm revising this review to reflect the course remake. This part still applies) Well maintained, easy access, never crowded. I have had a lot of fun on it.

Was super short, now it's better. Still a Par-3 on every hole, but now the holes are longer and there are some trees you have to navigate. The course drains poorly, and after rain it gets sloshy and the tee boxes may even fill with water.

It used to be this course was ridiculously short, with few holes over 200' and some under 150'. Now it's more reasonable. It's still an easy course, well maintained and beginner friendly. But I played it today (with an ultimate disc) in a big wind and was happy to score 27, where under the old configuration I was trying for a 2 on every hole, and usually ended up scoring 20-23. So it's better.

-very good location right on 501
-the grounds are on the ccu campus so it is very well keep
-no water or another chance to lose disc

-Very short holes
-most baskets are located Very close to next Tee

Over all this is a nice little course. Very short and easy so any good player looking for a challenge should skip this one. On the other hand if you are looking to introduce someone to the sport or work on your short game this is the perfect course. It has a few obstacles and could have made better use of the land available.

Coastal Carolina's on-campus disc golf course is located in a small landscaped section of a field just off of US-501. I've never played a disc golf course that looks like it was designed by a landscape artist, but this short little 9 hole has young trees and woodchips galore on this pristine little patch of land. Very thoughtfully maintained and manicured.

Because of its minimal length and solid Innova baskets, this would be the perfect course to teach children to play the game, practice your short game in a somewhat competitive setting, have an ace run, or set the world record for most holes played in a 24-hour period. Play this course for 30 minutes every day after class and you'll be the Phil Mickelson of disc before you know it.

This course is short enough to be designated disc putt-putt or disc mini-golf. You'll only need a putter and maybe a mid for this one. As a result, there's no opportunity to stretch your arm or even feel like you're doing anything other than killing time. A fairway obstacle or two would've helped make this a little more interesting and challenging, but you'll have a clear path to the basket every time in this complete openness.

Woodchip tees are loose and uncomfortable, but you won't be doing much of a run-up anyway, so the impact is negligible.

Almost all of the baskets are located extremely close to the next tee. Coupled with the length of the holes, and there could be some serious safety concerns. Luckily, the course seems like it's rarely crowded, but as a previous reviewer mentioned three's a crowd in this case.

Despite being on-campus, the course isn't particularly close to any academic buildings. Personally, I would use the course as a way to kill time between classes, but having to hoof it out to the field makes that a less likely prospect for students seeking a casual way to waste time.

Seriously, this course is very, very short. I finished four successive rounds in about 50 minutes while waiting for a basketball game to start at the HTC Center on the other side of campus. This course is a fun way to waste time, but nothing more.

Great beginner course. My short game and putting has improved drastically. Great for a quick game and to practice your throws with no chance of a disc getting lost.

Almost no obstacles. CCU decided to cut almost all the trees. Pins and tees are close together. Dangerous if more than a couple people playing at same time.

Greens beautifully kept as it is on campus. Great place to introduce someone to disc golf. Where I first played and now hooked.

This course is really well maintained and easy to navigate. Very nice signage with hole # and distance noted.

Only nine holes most of them being really short. The longest hole on the course was only 258 feet. Out of 9 holes 6 of them are less than 200 feet. Tee pads consisted of wood chip mulch which can make for some loose footing, but not a real issue here being there really are no holes that call for the long bomb.

This course was in really good shape and you can tell it is well taken care of. A really experienced player will not find this course challenging at all.

Very well kept grounds.
Tons of available parking.
Right on Campus.
Great for beginners (like my GF).
Only takes 1 disc to play.

Very short holes.
Tees are mulched not concrete.
Can get flooded with decent amounts of rain.
Only 9 holes.

Lot of fun for a short course. Close to other course.

The course wasn't crowded at all when I was there. Showed up on a Thursday evening and played 27 holes without seeing anybody there. This is a great place to work on your putting and short game. If you're at the beach with a bunch of non disc golfers, this will give you something to do while they are out shopping (there's an outlet center just up the road). VERY well maintained grounds.

SHORT. Nothing over 260 feet, so all I brought with me was a mid and two putters.

WIDE OPEN. I like some danger. I like playing wooded courses - I like playing in the woods. I like courses that penalize me when I throw a bad shot (maybe I'm a masochist). There was no risk on this course at all. It looks like it was laid out with a "ball golf" mentality -- short grass, few trees in the way, nicely manicured fairways. But no disc golf challenge here.

The layout is a bit of a problem too -- hole 1 starts nowhere near a parking lot -- I parked in what I thought was the closest lot to the course, and ended up starting on hole 7. It works, but I really think that they might want to consider renumbering the holes.

UPDATE: Ignore this review, since it looks like the course has been changed. I wil try to get over there this summer to play it, and will fully update my review then ;-)

This is a great course to hit when the rest of your family is off doing something else that you don't want to do. It's great to bring kids to, it's great to introduce someone to the sport. But you need to remind them that not all courses are like this. You need to tell them about the trees that will jump out in front of your disc and knock it down, the slopes that will carry an errant putt 50 or 75 feet away. Tell them stories of the schule, and the water. Make them know that it isn't all as short and neat as this course.

I was disappointed with this course, to be honest. There is the potential to build a decent nine-hole course on the property, and it was missed. Just another example of an athletic facility at Coastal that has been done better by Liberty

- For me any course is better than not having one.
- They did install top-notch baskets and nice tee boxes, so for first time disc golf players it leaves a good impression
- Convenient location off of Hwy 501
- If I was a student on campus I probably would go over there for practice for sure.

- As others have mentioned it is way too short.
- There are a few more acres right next to the existing course. I feel like they could have lengthened the nine hole course to make it a more enjoyable course (Not enough land to expand to 18).

- Was really stoked when I drove by the first time and saw the top quality baskets. Went back to play a few weeks later and had to laugh all the way through the round. Again glad it is there, but I think they missed an opportunity to put in a decent 9 hole course, giving the available land not being used right next to the existing. They tried but unfortunately kind of failed.

Great signs. Good Tee Boxes. Easy to navigate. No chance to lose discs. No traffic from non players.

9 holes and Very, Very, VERY short course. No water or bathrooms near course. Fairways intersect.

On the plus side, this is a very attractive course on a beautiful campus. This course is WAY too short. Not sure if it was designed that way on purpose, maybe it was for first time players at the school. If so, that is why I scored it as passable (1.5). It does that job (My wife played her first full round with me, never having played before and almost got par, 1 over,) I don't have an arm to brag about at all and nearly aced three holes (just missing and flying past the baskets) and birded just about all of them. Good course to bring someone that has never played before, but if you are experienced, I'd say skip it for sure.

NOTE: Was only in Myrtle Beach for a week and could only play some nearby courses. Reviewed CCU and Tupelo. Skipped Socastee as the reviews said it was incomplete and hard to navigate. With time being an issue I couldn't see walking around stumbling around a hard to navigate course. So I don't think CCU and Tupelo are great examples of SC DG. Had Socastee been complete or easy to navigate I would have played a full 18 in a SC park in a minute. Still both CCU and Tupelo were beautiful courses just short and easy.
