Pleasant Grove Community Center is a well-designed, beginner-friendly 9-hole course -- with the potential for a full 18 in the future. Of the "Pleasant Grove" courses I've now played in North Carolina (2), "Community Center" tops "UMC."

+ Perfect track to introduce new players to the game and for Rec-level players to work on improving accuracy, particularly with putters off the tee.

+ Rare to see multiple tees for a beginner-focused 9-hole course, but Pleasant Grove has red (rec), white (intermediate), and blue (advanced) tees. The red tees are gravel and are perfectly fine for the length and layout of those holes. The blue tees are concrete. The white tees share with the reds at times, with the blues for others, and solo for a few.

+ Ace runs! Play here long enough, and you'll bag some aces. Don't sweat it if the red tees are sub-200 feet. An ace is still an ace!

+ Navigation is a cinch, with an easy-to-follow flow, Next Tee signs, and accurate maps (both on UDisc and at the info bulletin board).

+ Technical, wooded track to test your putter (and maybe mid from the longer tees) accuracy.

+ Holes 1 and 9 are more open and give players the rare chance at full pulls.

+ Fun, brand new little track that is well-maintained and is beating in nicely.

This track probably meets its full potential as an easy, fun, intro-level course. It could get a ratings increase from me if it gets 9 more holes. But then again, if that happens it would probably be reintroduced as a new course, as far as DGCR goes.

- Not designed to be a challenging course to most players beyond the Novice or Rec levels.

- Not much variety in terms of the discs or shots needed.

- Only 9 holes

Great place to introduce people to disc golf, as a stop on the way to legit courses, or one just to bag for your collection.
