Although this course plays mostly through the woods there are a surprising amount of nice open shots. For bing in the woods I never felt like I didn't have a place to throw. Very technical course to play but also very rewarding. We had a random dog walking the course with us (we named it Charles.) Overall I think this was a great course and I can't wait to play it again. Reminded me of Golden Hills in Blacksburg. There are also some medium length holes to let you throw a bit further. Woods are also pretty forgiving. Just a fun, short, technical course to help tone your short game. This course appears to have been well taken care of. However, I would like to see better signs and the tees could use some more gravel, but other than that I don't see anything into change or add.

This course has been well maintained. The school has a disc golf team, and I imagine they are the ones providing the maintenance. It's easy to navigate the course, with signs for all tees and alternate tees. All of the tees are gravel. Although a bit small, they are all in great shape. Somebody had actually raked the areas between the baskets and the next tee to make the trails between holes more obvious. It's a fun, challenging technical course. Good throws are rewarded, but bad throws are not necessarily punished. None of the holes are too incredibly easy, since all but #3 are in the woods. There are about 5 trash cans on the course, and the course is extremely clean.

Some of the gravel tees are a bit small, but there is usually adequate room behind the tees so you can run up. The signs only say the distance, there isn't a map, so you might have to walk up the fairway to spot the basket on a couple of holes. There isn't really a bathroom, so bring your own TP!

I would recommend this course to anyone in the area, or anyone traveling through. If you're coming from Blacksburg/Christiansburg, be careful which way you go. My GPS nav took me through a road marked "4x4/ATV Only, road not maintained." I took it anyway, all 3 treacherous miles of it. Straight downhill, huge ruts, 400 foot cliffs, and huge boulders to drive over. "DRY HILL ROAD" I don't think anyone else had driven down it in years! Definitely take 221 around.

- A great course nestled right on the campus of Ferrum College.
- Typically quiet on the course with low traffic.
- A fantastic and creative use of the terrain available.
- A short wooded course that has plenty of risk/reward shots and elevation changes.
- A challenging, yet reasonable layout that will test your accuracy on many holes.
.

- Small, gravel tee boxes on most holes can cause footing difficulty on tee shots.
- Beware of the thorns on/near Hole 5. They will puncture through your shoe and into your foot!

- For a full day of disc golf, play Ferrum and then drive over to the 18 hole course at Sontag and enjoy the full Franklin County 36!
