Pros:
- Concrete Tees and baskets are in good condition.
- Very easy course to play, most holes are between 150-220 ft.
- All holes are par 3, making score-keeping simple.
- The retreat does a great job of maintaining the grass and foliage.
- Aesthetically beautiful, always makes for a good hike if the throws aren't going your way.
Cons:
- Baskets are only one layer of chains, so discs may slip through if thrown hard.
- Intermediate and advanced players may get bored as this course can easily become a birdie run.
- Little variety, the course could be played with one or two discs.
- One tee, one basket; if you are looking for different levels of challenge give Athens Regional DGC a try.
- Tee pads are short, but this shouldn't be much of a problem. A one-step or short run is all that's necessary.
Other Thoughts:
This course is could potentially be deserving of a 3/5 rating, but currently the basket to hole #8 is gone due to a tree falling onto the course. The retreat plans on making a couple alterations to the course, so I look forward to playing and reviewing again in the future. Again, a great hike can be found here, the area is beautiful with a good amount of hills. I took a friend to play here for his first round ever, so I think the course proved to be fun for a beginner, but I found the holes to quickly become repetitive. I certainly recommend for any beginner or an intermediate player looking for something new.
