The bag hangers, signs, concrete tee pads, manicured grounds and overall look of the course lend a very professional atmosphere. Some money and care have obviously been, and continue to be, put into this course. I really liked that there are no walking trails bordering/running through the course and that the holes seem to be laid out in a logical manner. Had a great round here even with a mediocre score. I played from the reds and found some holes, such as 2, pretty challenging, and others, some short, wide open holes relatively easy. I found opportunities to use, or at least attempt, forehands, hyzers, anhyzers, and even a couple of grenades (tree trouble-not much out there but I managed to find it). I think it's a good challenge but after a couple more times there, I think the reds will be a bit too easy. Overall, a great experience and a course I will definitely return to in the future.

Will quickly grow too easy from the reds but that's why you have the blues to play from, right?

Course doesn't come back close to the parking lot after nine, so if you are trying to get in only nine, running out of daylight, you have a hike back.

Bag holders are awesome (wooden post) but would have preferred wooden or metal dowels (which are what your bag hangs from) to plastic. To be fair, I didn't see any broken ones but they don't seem very durable.

Soon, I think I will start playing a mixture of red and blue tees and then, eventually, move up to all blues. That being said, playing from the reds was a lot of fun, if somewhat easy. It's a really good course and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

This is the course that introduced me to disc golf. I'll always enjoy playing it, but some love is tough love.

Equipment:
As many have said before me. The quality of the tees, signs, holders, benches and upkeep is better than any course I've ever played. They did a good job building it and do a good job with keeping the woods under control and mulching it.

Layout:
This is a great place to learn to play. The red tees are a good mix of technical and open shots. The odds of losing a disc are decently low as well.

Layout:
The better you get the more monotonous this course becomes. A lot of the holes have you throwing from near or slightly in the woods to a pin that's near or slightly in the woods. It wouldn't be that bad, but oftentimes you can look behind the blue tees and see an alternative spot that would make the hole a lot more interesting.

Rounds generally take 1-2 hours if you're playing solo..

It's a good course in a great park. Play some disc golf, have a picnic and enjoy your weekend.

Excellent signage. Signs are at both red and blue tee pads giving distance and layout. Flow is fairly intuitive, but there are signs pointing you to the next tee at almost every hole anyway. You can not get lost on this course.

Excellent tee pads. They are large and level at both tee locations on each hole. There are bag hangers at every tee pad. Benches and trash cans are plentiful as well.

Course is very well maintained.

I prefer wooded courses and this one is mostly open, but most holes start or finish in a wooded area. The elevation and basket placements on a few of the open holes make them more interesting. The fairways are wide even on the wooded holes. No plinko to be found here. #2 and #7 are tighter than the rest, though.

The two sets of tee pads offer different options for shots on most holes and don't merely add distance as some courses do. I'd probably prefer to play a mix of the two, but haven't played it enough to determine that mix yet. I played the reds and the difficulty seemed about right for me.

This is a really nice park with great facilities.

Patriot DGC is a bit too open for my taste. I have no idea what restrictions may have been put on the designer, but there seems to be a lot of wooded areas that could have been utilized more.

There is no single hole that makes you say, "Wow!". But most all of them are fun.

If you are in the area and ticking off courses, we've made a day trip of Patriot>Johnson Street>Creekside>North Asheboro Park and spent less an hour traveling between courses overall.

First for starters, the amenities here are impecable. Great park atmosphere, a wonderful memorial for NC's fallen soldiers, wonderful picnic shelters and restroom facilities. 2 kiosks at first tee area with course map and distances, a pristine practice basket. Great hole signs on every hole, multiple park benches, and bag hangers on every hole. Great tee pads and navigational signs.

Now onto the course. Both blue and red tees offer very different course layouts. Reds are much more forgiving. Mostly all par 3s with usually fairly achievable lines. This layout is great for beginners as it offers a lot of birdie looks and easy pars, and could definitely serve to draw new golfers into the flock.

Blue tees are a different animal. Much longer course, and with that comes a lot of difficult lines. Some requiring severe S curves and others stretching par 3's well over 400 ft. Though it is not the hardest course, it is certainly one that can give you a lot of trouble if you either don't know the layout or miss in the wrong direction. But with that challenge comes again some fair opportunities at par and birdie.

Great mix of holes. The park terrain mixes a ton of wooded holes with some huge open fields for bombs. But this course plays more than just a bombing course on the open holes as the baskets are often protected by a few trees or tucked just into the woods. There is a great variety of both up and downhill approaches, as well as right to left and left to right doglegs. This course asks a golfer to have a mastery of a lot of different shots and seems to be a fairly good test of disc golf.

Hole 6 is really fun. It is a huge L-R downhill hole off of a cliff and tucked into the woods on the R. Its really awesome to have to plan for a disc to be in the air for that long, and the line is beautiful

Only a few things that I definitely noticed could be improved here. The blue tees on a few of the holes are headscratchers, requiring almost extreme curves on the disc. Hole 2 comes to mind, but there were a few others that fit that bill.

A few of the open holes definitely needed some grass cutting as it was at least shin high on the day we played on a few holes. Along that line, there is a ton of poison ivy in the woods. I realize it is a wooded course, and some of that is to be expected, but it is very dense in spots here. It would be nice to see some of that sprayed.

I really enjoyed this course after having played both the reds and the blues. I think if I were a local, I would play a mix of red and blues. I think it would be cool to add a third set of tees here, the whites, to go with the whole red, white, and blue theme of the memorial park. Plus it would be nice to have a set that had a bit more distance than the red, but a little less difficulty than some of the blues expect.

Overall, again, this was a very nice course that I would recommend any in the area come to play. The reds are great for beginners, and the blues would be a great competitive course.
