short but challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 20, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Permanent nice size cement tee pads
Signage at tees very helpful
Entire course well maintained
Good grade of baskets

Cons:

Hole #5 tee is located behind the recycling bins & a bit challenging to locate.
Many baskets with little or no throwing lanes to them

Other Thoughts:

I was disappointed in the number of holes that had protected baskets with little or no paths to the basket. On my first round I hit a tree early and had a long second shot to the basket but it had a clear path. The second round I had a great drive and no shot at all to the basket. Overall it was a fun course but I prefer a course where you are rewarded for good shots and do not have to rely on a poke and hope.

Small course carved out of thick woods. 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 11, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great new DISCatchers.
Small gravel tee pads, they really don't need to be very large for most of these holes.
Natural, Long tees marked with landscape flags.
Good mix of left and right holes, most had large enough fairways.
#1 is mostly open and #9 is completely open to provide a little variety.

Cons:

Still a little rough after a lot of fairway clearing for the wooded holes. Weeds, briars, and stumps all make this a "watch your step" course right now.
A few of the wooded holes were pretty close together, due to the small area allotted for these holes.

Other Thoughts:

This short 9 hole course has a name very similar to the also recently opened Garden Grove DGC in Pleasant Garden, NC, less than 30 miles away. GGDGC is a Blue level 18 hole layout that is very challenging.

These Nine holes were recently installed in a wooded area behind the Community Center building in this unincorporated area north of Burlington. They definitely spent some money on this one, brand new DISCatchers, framed gravel tees and quite a few trees taken down. Like any new course through thick woods (no matter how small the lot is), it will take some time to get beaten in.

Just about all the holes are ace runs, so it is a pretty quick play. #3 is dead straight and slightly downhill, most of the other wooded holes were either tight Hyzers or Annies. #8 was kind of fun, slightly elevated tee, into the woods and finishes left around probably the biggest tree on the course. I couldn't see the basket, looking from several spots on the tee.

The plans are eventually to make this part of an 18 hole course. #9 finishes in the middle of a wide open, mowed field, that does not appear to be used for anything else. I imagine that area will be used as well as the area to the left as you pull in, with scattered trees. So, 18 holes here should have quite a lot of variety, including these seven in the woods. I see online that there already is a weekly doubles night on this course, so there should be a lot of interest in another 9 being added.
