Old Glory has all geographic features that make disc golf great, and has continued to evolve and improve year after year. 20 holes that go from wide open, to wooded, then comes the great elevation changes into the mix, a little bit of water, funky mound pin positions and tall or hanging baskets. Benches are on most if not all holes. The tee pads are almost all good rubber mats, and Discatchers that are also fine. Multiple tees on all, black long, blue mid, and red short. The longs can be Very long, and blues are all manageable. Sometimes the variance isn't a lot, but they're usually very different. Grass fairways are well maintained, and many of the holes have O.B. roped off. Three mandos. The hole to hole variation of all of these elements is terrific.

Hole 1 is a wide open flat hole, with the basket at the center of a ringed landing zone that is small enough to be hard to hit, especially in the often blustery wind. Hole 2 is 90% flat dogleg right with a mando, and a line where a downhill slope starts about 20' in front of the very tall pin that keeps the rim of the basket visible from the tee. Hole three is flat and open center, but it has woods right, O.B. to the left and around the green, and and short mound and extended pin under the basket. Hole 4 is almost flat and wide open except for some power lines, with a fence blocking the front of the green and O.B. behind. Hole 5 enters the woods, but with a open fairway that allows access to the basket directly or via a big hyzer, one o'clock window. Hole 6 craziness includes a three sided mando doorway into the low ceiling, tree laced fairway, and leading to a basket which is buried to the rim of the bucket in the dirt. Then, on hole 7 the elevation changes really get serious, on a downhill drive that has tall fence running the left side, woods to the right side, and the green is behind a short stack of logs as the fairway begins to climb the next hill. Hole 8 is uphill hard dog leg right at the end, with thick tree coverage that can be punishing. Hole 9 is a tight and lengthy tunnel drive that is downhill all the way through heavy woods, and the basket is hanging between two trees at the bottom. 9 is one of my favorite holes. Hole 10 is uphill dogleg right again with very tough rough, similar in shape to hole 8. Hole 11 is another favorite of mine, an elevated tee, wide open downhill rip over a pit and flying to a basket sitting on top of two red barrels on the hillside, with a ring of trees defining the landing zone. Hole 12 is a nice uphill throw over a bunker with trees sprinkled along the fairway, and a taller than average pin atop the hill. Hole 13 is short, but some tight gaps in the trees running down the hill make it hard to avoid ricochets and knock downs. Hole 14 is another tight tunnel off the tee box that climbs a little near the basket, on a gradual downhill to the left slope. Hole 15 exits mature trees emerging to a fairway split by left side flat open and right side rolling down a grassy hill, and a 10' earthen cone that has the basket at its point and countless terrible rolls at its bottom. Hole 16 steps back onto the flat grassy area for a long hole with O.B. roping off the right of the fairway, a basket on a short berm that contains the pond directly behind it. Hole 17 tees under a couple of mature trees over a flat terrain that also has a pond, this time in front of the basket offering little solid ground in front of the pin, and a bumpy grass covered landing zone. Hole 18 is a short spike hyzer tee shot using the open space to the right of the large cluster of trees blocking the bullpen that contains the basket in the middle of it's ring. Hole 19 is slightly uphill, kind of long, with a couple of big trees on either side of the fairway mid point, and basket that hangs from the gallows, backed by several big evergreens. Hole 20 is a dogleg left with a mando to the right of a telephone pole, and green fronted with a ring of big concrete planters and backed by the same shallow pond from hole 16.

The wind is usually a significant factor in play for large sections of this course. There is some thick, thorny rough and thick woods in the other sections. Ravines, pitfalls, ponds can get unfriendly in a hurry. Cost of $5/player full day, but also includes 20 hole Hogback course that is very fun as well.

Old glory has become a truly great course over the years, and began with a landscape that is incredibly well suited for disc golf. Always very well maintained and clean. I like the elevation change, challenge of needing to execute multiple kinds of shots, and the risk/reward that takes the difficulty up a notch on every hole. The other course on site is equally wonderful, and there is a driving range/putting green. On the blue tees every hole is par 3, except for hole 16 (a par 4). There is so much variety and lots of strange obstacles to navigate. There is a pavilion near the parking lot, and one in between the two courses in the middle of the property. The Hippodrome complex is the site of the disc golf collegiate national championship each spring. Really high quality disc golf here for a reasonable price.

Very unique basket positions make for an interesting round.

Complete variety of shots that will test all skill levels.

Plenty of opportunity for low scores if you have the skill off the tee for an accurate shot.

Cool views of downtown Augusta from the first few holes.

Multiple tee boxes.

The pro shop does not stick to its hours. Your likely to go during advertised hours only to find it closed and having to drop an envelope with cash into the drop box. They say to write stuff on the envelope, but dont leave a pencil to write with.

Really cool course that you can totally enjoy. Will come back to this one often when I come back to town. This is just one of several courses at the facility, although some are closed except for tournament play. Maybe they would consider opening them for a higher fee or something, but it would be nice to have the extra courses for more variety.
