-Potter's Grove is like an electropop/rock version of disc golf. It sounds a little unusual with its slight holographics. It isn't purely techno or electro, but it has those merits here and there. It was a lot like The Ready Set version of the song "Airplanes." Doesn't really sound like the original, but sounds REALLY awesome. If this is the first course you play, then the way that you picture disc golf courses may be a bit distorted. It's a different look that is difficult for me to explain and part of that may just be the location. Pine trees, the different baskets, the cooler looking tee signs, and the appearances of the wooded greens on the final holes left an excellent taste. It looks extremely cool!

-For future reference, I'm going to name the holes as of the actual layout order. Not the tournament layout order. The first ten holes utilize the elevation more than the last eight holes. Most holes here have a little bit of it. A few utilize it very well. I really enjoyed the challenge on hole #5. This is the only hole with a second pad. The short pad is a significant uphill par three along the road. The long pad is a 480' par four that's lower down the hill. I really love how there's a long pad on this hole that capitalizes on the available terrain here. And #10 is an awesome par three. 480' long and downhill the entire way onto a green on a slope. A legit hole! The tee shot is very intimidating since there are a few small gaps through cedars. Miss the gap, and you'll probably lose a stroke.

-Enjoyable for anyone. I found this course shockingly fun.
Beginners that are interested will really enjoy this course. Pros will enjoy the high fun factor as well. It's primarily open. Has a few slightly wooded holes and one real wooded hole. So that is a very special aspect considering the fact that most of the eighteen holers in NC are at least moderately wooded. The wind was very strong when I played, so the course was challenging. Good practice for your wind game at a shockingly good course.

-Unlike the previous reviewers, I really enjoyed the ending. #16 is the only real wooded hole and it is really gorgeous! One of the prettiest wooded holes that I have ever played. It favors a sidearm for right handed throwers such as myself. If you don't have good control, you could land in jail on the right side. A two or five could occur. It was in the longer pin when I played and I think that should be the only pin on this hole. #17 is the shortest hole on the course and favors a hyzer over the trees. Another hole you want to birdie, but the green (another wooded green) drops off on the left side maybe 20' from the pin. If you hyzer too much, you'll be pitching out instead of making the birdie. #18 was great too because it has two pin positions. The B pin is 615', uphill, and to an elevated pin. Love it! Short pin is good too. Before you get to those holes, you get to play an awesome downhill bomb that is #15!

-Being a huge fan of Dynamic Discs and an all trilogy thrower, I really love the DD baskets as well. They look really awesome and they catch well.

-Love the tee signs as well. They look cool and have all of the hole info. They give the elevation changes. The tee pads are nice and lengthy as well.

-Most holes here have at least another pin position. Hole #15 has three. One of them is a par four. When I played, it was in the 455' par 3 pin. That was an awesome bomber hole for me to unleash a big drive on. The short pins offer a more beginner friendly layout while the longer pins are more challenging. The first hole's long pin gives you a genuine idea on how challenging this course can get. It's 350' long with the OB fence in play the entire way. Basket is perched on a hill.

-Mostly par threes with a couple of available par fours on #5 and #18. This course is like an amusement park. You see a lot of shock value, at least I did. You'll have to wait in line at times for the next potential signature hole but you'll see something really fun once you get there. Many holes here that could be your favorite. #2 is a nice valley shot with danger all over the place. It's only 185' long so it's heavily designed for accuracy. #12 has a 240' water carry, giving another one of the perks to disc golf. That is water. #10 was my favorite along with #15 and #16. #10 and #15 are great bomber holes that are downhill. #16's really made me appreciate the use of the woods. The long pin was spectacular and very picturesque.

-Came back on 4/17th, 2020. Many of the pins were in different placements. Whoever is in charge of the pins does a great job moving them around.

-#18 plays along the soccer field. I love the hole itself! The problem is that it isn't always playable due to soccer events. I think this is probably the most appropriate hole to finish on since it's the only one with a second pin and it is elevated. The short pin is still a cool hole in my opinion.

-Holes #7 and #8 are kind of bland and similar to each other. Throw a hyzer around a tree and are both about the same distance.

-I think some of the elevation changes listed on the signs are not correctly stated. For instance, it says on #16's sign that there is no elevation. The hole is a good bit downhill. Probably about ten feet. #5's sign on the short says the increase is 25 ft and it says that it's 50 ft on the long. The long pad is slightly below the short but definitely not an incremental 25 ft. There were a few others I was skeptical about. I'm a number person.

-Potter's Grove is extremely fun and not what I would call the "Carolina Average." The pine trees do show an indication that you are in the Pinehurst area so you do see that NC aspect here. The fact that it's open with many par threes, and the fact that you are throwing at DD baskets instead of Machs or Disc Catchers makes the experience different than it usually is in NC. You'll see a difference here at the Grove and I think you'll like it.

-It's courses like this one that excite me for the future of disc golf. It's young, fresh, and hot! It's kind of like Rolling Pines from the short tees with some adjustments. I love it!
