Classic Course - Great for Beginners! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 9, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Very well kept, no real trash or any other unsightly features. Hole placement is just challenging enough for beginners and maybe some intermediate players.

Cons:

Lots of windy paths that lead from hole to hole. The paths are intertwined with a jogging path that can lead you in the wrong direction. No real signs to tell which way to walk to the next hole.

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 13, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Well manicured course. basket layouts are challenging and vary hole to hole. Not too many holes seem similar. Gives player a chance to practice various types of throws.

Cons:

This course can get pretty littered with junk, bottles ect. Compared to Renaissance (charlotte) or Richmond Hill (Asheville) the landscape doesn't really change hole to hole. It is all just throwing to various basket placements in wide fairways set in moderate woods.

Charlotte RULES! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 20, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Nice decent course, mostly all in the woods. The unique thing about this course is that although it is wooded, the fairways are so large, its like you are not throwing in the woods. Baskets were in the longer positions when I played. Very nicely done. As with most North Carolina Course I have played, the concept seems to be to get your 2's early, because the back 9 has fewer opportunities for a score of 2.

Classic Charlotte Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 26, 2003 Played the course:never

Pros:

Well maintained, length, amenities.

Other Thoughts:

Kilborne is a nice, manicured, easy to follow course, great for all skill levels of disc golfers. The course features well defined, nice looking fairways surrounded by thick woods, so I'd hesitate to call it a "woods course," but it's close. To excel at Kilborne you need to be able to throw long fading shots, both left and right. The course didn't feature any hard doglegs, significant elevation changes, or water hazards, but only a couple of straight shots. Everything else is a fade of varying degrees, including a surprising amount of shots that need to fade right. Also, this course plays a little longer than I'm used too, but not like the really long courses - Trophy Lakes, Patapsco Valley, or Rockburn Branch. A local pointed out that the course was in its longer configuration the day we played.

Like Newport News, Kilborne benefits most from its amenities, with perfect tee pads, benches at every hole, great signs, and perfectly maintained fairways. Also, the course is laid out on not too much land, and is very easy to follow, but one hole does not interfere with another anywhere. The woods lend a sense of isolation to most every hole. And the woods, plus trees left in the fairways here and there, give a solid challenge to every hole on the course. But the landscape also prevents variety, with no water or elevation challenges and no hole layouts way outside the average. Overall, Kilborne Park is a professional grade course, and well worth a stop if you're in the Charlotte area.

Favorite Hole - #18 - Long shot coming out of woods into sparse grove of pine trees.
