Great Holes on a Faulty Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 23, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is full of potential and has several holes that are very fun to play. A nice job is done to give a variety of holes that force you to use an abundance of discs off the tee. The trek through the course includes a decent amount of wood time as well as some open sections and even a few creek crossings.

Cons:

As others have said, the location has made this course very difficult to maintain. The path between hole 12 & 13 almost no longer exists. As recently as two weeks ago, the grass on the majority of open holes came up to my knees making it very hard to find discs in the middle of the fairway. The tee pads have also been overrun with grass, covering up all of 2 & 11.

Other Thoughts:

Navigation is fairly easy on the front 9 but can be somewhat confusing once you get onto the back. Expect to get scratched up if you kick off the fairway on the wooded holes. Baskets are sometimes used for multiple holes, but this overall isn't too big of an issue as the course never has heavy traffic.

When played from the late fall to early spring, this is honestly one of my favorite courses. But I would not touch this course in the summer once the foliage takes over.

A Decent Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 20, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course has a good variety of holes, including a few wide open throws, a couple of shorter potential ace holes, and many technical ones in the woods.
There are rarely many players so a round can be played quickly.

Cons:

There are a few spots with excessive briars but keep it in the fairway and you'll be ok.
A few of the holes share a basket and are similar in nature.
Signage needs improvement but the local club has plans to fix in 2016.
The tees are recycled turf from UVa, most in decent shape but a few have grasses growing through them.

Other Thoughts:

There are 13 baskets used to create an 18 hole layout. The front nine is an easy start with multiple birdie opportunities followed by a back nine which is more technical with greater distances.

A lot of potential 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 26, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has a lot of really nice shots. I was impressed about the time I threw on hole 2. This course is better than what it is chalked up to be and could be something special if a bit more work was done.

There are more than 11 "holes". There is an 18 hole layout that allows the course to seem bigger than what it is. Technically, though, there are still only 11 baskets as many holes share the same basket.

There is a lot of variety out here to be on such as seemingly small plot of land. You'll have a few open bombs, a few open lobs, some tight wooded doglegs and tunnels.

I used most of my bag within the first 6-7 holes. The wooded holes were really nice and unexpected. I loved the tunnel shot. Once you're out in the open, you'll have a few opportunities to open up and throw drivers.

Cons:

The tee pads are a carpet type, which can be pretty hard to play on in the rain. I suppose it's better than natural tee's and a necessary evil until the final course layout gets figured out.

My biggest complaint is that this isn't a legitimate 18 hole course yet. I imagine there are budgetary restrictions, along with a smaller community of golfers. A proper 18 hole course can help grow a community and is an investment into the future of disc sports for the county. I would recommend the county helping any way they can to give this course the proper shot to be great. The land is there.

There are multiple places where losing a disc is likely. An errant shot can send you into some nasty stuff, so be careful.

Other Thoughts:

It's hard to see such a beautiful location with so much potential be dragged down by the negatives. The course needs more baskets, proper tees and signs and the ability to use a little more land. Once this is a legitimate 18 hole course, I'm sure it will be one worth traveling out of the way to play. As it stands now, I'd recommend experiencing it once, but not regularly (yet).

Potential...lots of potential 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 13, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

There is a lot of variety in this course. Some wide open, some very narrow fairways, some open to woods and woods to open. A little water, but nothing you would loose a disc into. Views of the surrounding mountains are great. I saw bluebirds, cardinals, minnows, deer , and rabbits. The wooded holes are not so overgrown that you are likely to loose any discs. I think this is a great beginner to intermediate course. If you can throw 150-200 foot drive you have a par potential on nearly every hole, which for an intermediate player like myself is fun and fantastic. Now I only made 3 pars, but that's why this is a great course for my level of play.

Cons:

The signage is confusing and poor. Most holes have 2 different hole numbers, and though there was some instructions at the start, they didn't make sense to me.
The course map doesn't match either set of signs exactly. No next tee signs (why don't all courses have these?), though some of the tee signs did shown where the next tee should be.
Tees are not in great shape but playable enough.

Other Thoughts:

A little course spruce up, especially with signs would make this a very good course and one I would recommend. But without that, an out-of-towner like myself would just get frustrated.
