You can come to First Tee's course and play a nice 9-hole round of disc golf. Or you can see what the facility offers to golf and see how its impact could translate to disc golf. That was this place has to offer.
- This is a relatively basic course that hugs the entire perimeter of the golfing facility. The tee for #3 is the only time you actually step onto the golf course. In this golf course university, disc golfers are definitely the townies.
- From the short tees, you've got a simple, wide-open course. Several holes have been modified to make the layouts even easier than what the course map/pictures show. Most notably #6 & 8 went from wooded layouts to open ones.
- The course has two distinct signature layouts - #2 & 7 long tees. The following sentence contradicts everything I've said up to this point about the course being simple. #2 long, at 211 feet, is one of the toughest/most nerve-wracking tee shots I've faced. Your throwing over mostly swamp to a nearly non-existent gap between trees. Your other two options are throwing above the trees, which makes the hole much longer, or trying to land short on a small landing strip of grass. I think this would be an excellent hole if the clearing in the trees was better defined.
- The other scenic, memorable hole is the pond hole - #7. From the long tees, it's a 360 foot hole based on the tee signs (or 420 feet, based on outdated info on DGCR) with all but the last 50 feet being water. You can bail out left towards the short tees. At least the alligator warning sign isn't seen until after you've thrown.
- Fantastic facility and concept. This is an introductory course/practice range for kids just learning to play golf. There's a driving range, putting/chipping green, a short 9-hole course, and hundreds of golf balls just laying around for whoever wants to use them. I passed a group of 4 kids, probably all ranging between six and 10, with their mothers.
- There's got to be a way of incorporating this concept into the disc golf world. Sure, there are school courses. But it still requires kids to provide their own equipment. Why not a disc golf training center at a rec center with baskets, ranges, discs, and an instructor or two on hand?

The disc golf course is clearing second fiddle. Also, be prepared for the looks of being an adult male showing up at a kids golf course. If you're a dad and you've taken your kids to the playground, you've gotten THAT suspicious eye from mothers while you're just sitting there and watching.
- For a kid-friendly course, there's a somewhat high lost disc/be careful factor. The rough along the right sides of holes #1 - 6 is very thick at times. And the whole alligator thing too. And the pond. And the green swamp on #2 long.
- The long tees weren't easy to find on some holes. I'd probably have a more favorable impression of the course had I played more long layouts instead of the shorter, open ones.
- The course may not always be playable, whether in actuality or implicitly stated. If you're showing up, and there are families playing golf, they're not going to care about someone wanting to fling some discs. This is a golf facility first, disc golf course second.

First Tee is a nice option if you're on Hilton Head. If the park is empty, go crazy unleashing some 800 foot drives.
- Course is easy to navigate. There are signs guiding you to the first tee, evidence the park does value the course.
- Being here, there's got to be a way to come up with a golf & golf combo tourney - alternating shots/holes/rounds between the sticks and discs, for example. You do something like that, and this could be a fun destination.
- Besides #2 & 7 (the water holes), the course is forgettable. There's the open hole with woods along the right side on #1. At least the woods/rough is behind the basket on #3. Then don't forget the wide open holes with rough on the right on #4 & 5.
- Hole #9 ends next to the equipment storage area. At least you're on a part of the property the golfers won't be privy to.
- If I had played the long layout, I could say this is an average 9-hole course. As is, playing mostly short tees, this is a basic course aimed solely at beginners/kids.
