The Army 9 hole disc golf course at Fort Gordon is fun to play and well equipped. There are trash cans and signs at every tee. The rubber tee pads are ok, and the yellow Mach X baskets are awesome. The lollypops on top have a cool army graphic. There are signs making the layout easy to follow.

There is considerable elevation change on a couple of holes, and the woods are fairly dense in places. A few par 4 holes add some challenge. I liked hole 2 in particular. It is a dogleg left, but the basket is hidden behind a burm on th right of the fairway. Don't miss left on the approach, because there is a drainage pit surrounded by thick growth, with water in the bottom. Hole 5 is another fun throw, over a ridge with a tree forcing you to choose left or right side. 6 is a short, straight drive with a low ceiling, fun throw. Right of the fairway on hole 7 is another place to avoid, it drops off steeply. 8 is another tough one, especially in the longer pin position.

This is a new course, and thorny briars are still trying to keep their real estate in some fairways. As the course is broken in this may subside. Vehicles may be searched entering base, responsible behavior recommended.

Army 9 is fun, and the more difficult of the 2 finished courses at Fort Gordon. The terrain is more densely wooded, sandy, and better elevation changes than Navy course. There are a couple of great holes. I was putting far better than usual, and finished with a 26, 5 under posted par. Plans are to have each branch of the armed forces represented by a course here.
