-Green Valley: This course is not in a public park like Don Shannon or Tyus. This course doesn't interfere with any other activity, so you don't have to yield to anyone aside from other disc golfers.

-For a course with only one layout, as in one set of tees and no alternate pin positions, Green Valley is quite good. I found it to be a bit more memorable and more distinctive than Tyus because it's more "suburban" and the water holes create a fun and rewarding challenge with lots of risk involved. I enjoy this style of golf. Most of the holes are pretty straightforward, but you still have to focus hard because there is no luck rewarded here. It's not easy on first timers at all, even though the holes appear to be pretty simple for advanced players. The rough is not easy to throw from, and is less forgiving than the rough at Tyus. But even with that, many of the short holes are right in front of you and can be tackled with high concentration and accuracy.

-The water is aesthetically pleasing. The first water hole, #8, is visible from the previous two holes but is a difficult "first water" hole. It's the only par five on the course. 784' and open with the lake in play entirely to the right, making it scary to unleash a big drive on. Yet, if you want to have a chance for eagle, you have to take that gamble. #11 and #12 both require some amount of distance to clear the lake. #11 is just over 300' and #12 is 286'. #11 is more wooded and has you throwing completely over the water and then past a couple of trees before you reach the hill. #12 is open, but the water is tougher to avoid. If you go right, you are in the water. Luckily these holes, along with #18 have drop zones all under 200'. Making those water holes less intimidating. I remember when I first got obsessed with disc golf and had limited distance. I would've needed those drop zones.

-There's a pretty solid mix of elevation here. Many holes are relatively flat, but there are some holes with a good amount of elevation. #15-17 is the stretch with the most elevation at Green Valley. #15 is a downhill bomb that's only 507' with the road in play to the right. #16 is back up the hill. Shortest hole on the course at 236' but plays probably just over 300'. It's up more than 20' in elevation. #17 is my favorite hole here! It's open most of the way and plays slightly downhill the whole way into the woods.

-Green carpet pads that aren't slick. I played after it rained, so it was a bit wet but there were no slip hazards that I found.

-Blue 28 chain disc catcher baskets. Nice tee signs with accurate hole diagrams. I don't think the distances on every hole are correct though. It's mainly just the first five holes that I'm skeptical of on the distance.

-You have more opportunities to throw longer drives on the longer holes as well as throw some interesting shots. Starts off with a fun 245' par three with low branches. You could throw low with a midrange or driver or throw a big spike hyzer over the trees and have a look for birdie. #2 is a straight and slightly downhill putter/midrange shot through a line of trees. #3 is the first hole with significant elevation and being 339'. It's open but there's one tree in the fairway and rough on both sides, forcing you to go big while covering the least amount of room as possible. #9 was a nice ace run facing the lake. The basket is quite close to the lake and #10 was the exclusively wooded hole.

-Not easy on first timers. I shot a 58 blind in the Hotlanta tournament in the open division and I wasn't pleased because it was 20 points below my rating. Considerably, 58 is a good score. However, if I had the time to play a round here beforehand I think I would've played a lot better. The rough sneaks up on you. It's very tough to throw out of, and the wind can play a major factor in considering what disc to throw. If you miss the fairway, you won't land in it. There aren't any good breaks here. But then again, there are plenty of holes that are extremely reachable and open.

-#5. This hole is pretty much impossible. No birdies even in the pro division here. Pro division as in consisting of the Robinson brothers Isaac and Ezra that is. This is a 400+ par three with very thick rough on both sides. This hole requires a hyzer that doesn't turn until maybe 300' ahead and the approach shot is over 100' and fades left at the end. On top of that, there is a low ceiling from the get go. Holes #13 and #15 had a lower scoring average than this hole and both of them are par fours. Soft par fours that were eagled. Hole #5 needs some rough cleared out and needs to be shorted by maybe 50'. Every other hole here is birdieable. Some holes are much easier than others at Green Valley, but all the other hard holes are very fair. Hole #5 is just a bad hole that doesn't relate to the rest of them.

-Parking is difficult. Many of the players had to park on the side of the gravel road because the parking lot is limited.

-Only one set of tees and baskets. It's a bit disjointed. Holes #4 and #5 suggest that newer players avoid Green Valley because #4 is very tough and hard to grasp for newer players (not that it isn't a good hole, it's great). #5 is just impossible and is what dropped my rating from a 3.5 to a 3. And once you are done with #6, you see an easy 237' par three on #7. Holes #13, #14, and #15 are all very birdieable for newbies as well along with a few others. But then again, there are some barriers to entry. Many easy holes, and a couple holes that are extremely difficult. To sum this up, needs a few more short pads.

-Green Valley is the open course in the area. Some of the holes are pretty wooded and even some of the open holes forbid you from throwing distance shots. #4 is a 523' par four down a winding fairway with extremely thick rough on the left. While practicing before the round, I threw a soft putter off the tee and then threw a midrange from the fairway into the woods where the basket is. #17 allows a bigger drive, but you want to be cautious. The fairway leads you to the woods right past the 400' mark, so if you rip one over 400' and it doesn't go straight then you are in the rough. The fairway bends at a 90' angle at the last 100' of this hole, so you have to be pretty creative in order to birdie this par four. #8 allows you to bomb a driver, and you could always aim for the left side in order to avoid the water, and #15 is a fun hole to launch several drivers on since it is progressively downhill the whole way.

-This is a more memorable course in my opinion. It's very fun and I'd give it a 3.5, but since there's only one layout with a wide variety of challenge, I'm giving it a 3 for now. As an open player, I'd liked every hole here just about except for #5. I'm not a fact based individual. I like to figure out the reasons that lead to the fact and I review courses based on how I feel and on my personal enjoyment. I'm extremely against the whole concept of setting my personal opinion aside because there's a reason for everything that I believe and feel. This is a fun course that needs a few more tee pads or pin positions in order to better define a set skill level because I can't decide who this course is aimed for. It's enjoyable for pros, but the diversity in challenge for one layout is a bit extreme. There are holes that I could've birdied when I was a newbie with limited distance, but I wouldn't have been able to clear the lake on #11 or #12 and I wouldn't have been able to score less than a five on holes #4 and #5. It would be a great start to establish tee signs on the water holes with drop zones as an effort to accommodate to more players. Generally, I don't find it necessary to deduct points because a course isn't beginner friendly. This course is beginner friendly on some holes, but other holes would deter a newbie from coming back. But as for me, I will end this review stating that I like Green Valley.
