Excellent mix of wooded and open holes, 10 and 8 by my count. Baskets are in good shape and they now have concrete tee pads, added after the pictures on this site.
The wooded and open holes are broken up pretty well, 4 wooded, 3 open, 4 wooded, 1 open, 2 wooded and it finishes with 4 open.
Good mixture of right and left holes as well as using all the elevation in this multi-use park, primarily down by the creek.
The distances felt reasonable, for the type of hole. Finishing with a Par 4 on the open 18th.

No maps available, but pretty easy to follow, once you find #1, be sure to check out #4, you won't see it from #3.
It looks like they made an island green on #3. Problem is you have to play over the entrance road and right next to the softball field, could be unplayable quite often.
I'm sure the holes by the creek (8,9,10,11,13) would get pretty wet with rain. They've fixed #11 real well, with a boardwalk back to the tee. But some of the other holes just have pallets to walk on over the soggy areas.
Also, the underbrush it pretty bad on these, could use some more trimming and cutting.

Overall I liked the nice variety on this course, the use of the creek for danger, the elevation changes on 11-15. Except for 3 and possibly 18, this course stays away from the other park users pretty well.
#15 is a fun, elevated tee to a mostly open fairway, just enough trees and brush to make you hit your spot.
#16 has a pretty unique tee shot, a row of tall pine trees down the right side, that you have to go around, left to right. Problem is, the branches hang down real low, so you can't just throw a forehand flick. Perfect place for a roller off the tee, I tried, but definitely don't have that shot!
Nice park, plenty of other activities, restrooms available, but a little sketchy. I understand the other course in town (Stoney Creek) stays flooded most of the time, so this course must get the many rounds it deserves.
Funny story on this course, in March I was in Tucson on a trip. Just pulled up at Marana Rock and another player arrives, with a Carolina Panthers shirt. Turns out he moved there from Goldsboro and use to play this course all the time! It's a small DG world!!

- New, massive concrete pads for a majority of holes
- Improved drainage and walkways
- Surprising amount of elevation change for eastern NC (including a downhill tunnel shot at a hanging basket)
- New design for hole 18 (par 4) now plays like a real par 4
- Great variety of wooded/open, L to R/straight/R to L
- Some holes have alternate basket positions that help lengthen the course

- First few holes are hard to navigate (1-3 are separated from 4-18)
- Some holes are pretty short ace runs (7-9) limited by land available
- If it rains hard, the course can get swampy on some holes (though much has been done to fix this recently)

- Add a hole in the unused area right of 1, behind hole 2
- Merge 8 and 9 to create a longer, more technical par 3 instead of two dinky ace runs.
- Next Tee signs to help navigate, especially 3 to 4.
- Put in a few benches

Great mix in my opinion. Hole 1-3 are some what tight in the trees. 2nd basket is on a mound so watch out for that roller. 4-7 open up a bit and allow for a few bombs. Then it is back into the trees for some more control. Get ready to break out a hyzer, anhyzer, tomahawk, and maybe even a throw from your knees. The designers even hung a basket from trees to elevate it. I thought this was unique. Fun course and now the best in Goldsboro in my opinion. Sorry Stoney Creek.

BEWARE! Hole 8! The park neighbor is not friendly and if you toss a disc on his property your disc is now gone. **unless you risk trespassing** Signs are posted
A few holes are in low lying are and subject to flooding/mud. So wear old shoes/boots.

This course sports a variety of shots and basket placements testing even the best disc golfers. Playing here, I have noticed that the local club takes pride in the up keep; bridges, walkways, and tee pads have been built to help golfers get through some of the more wooded holes. There is nice mixture of open and wooded holes; just when you think you can just air out a disc you are walking back into the trees, and the trees can be very tight to get through. This makes for a challenging and fun round.

All of the cons that I have are relatively superficial. Concrete tee pads, distance markers, benches, trash cans (in the wooded holes), and a map are all lacking in this course. These missing niceties can all be easily remedied.

I wish that I could rate this course higher, but it is still young, and it is still in need of players to "beat it in" like your favorite disc. It just keeps getting better. Good job, GDGC.
