Reinhardt University - Old Layout reviews

Beautiful area, boring course 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Jun 23, 2021
Played the course:once
Pros:
Pros are it's got 9 good baskets on a beautiful plot of well maintained land on the campus, in an area that doesn't have a lot course wise nearby.
Navigation is easy enough, and though I believe all tee signs have recently been pulled, I didn't see a single one even throwing from the mulch area, it's super easy to see your line. Especially if you are using UDisc, which actually has a more fun layout listed other than the standard 9 as well.
Good baskets, nice property... that's about it.

Cons:
It's super short, not very technical, mainly one note and there are too many shots near the roads.
The parking is a little dubious as well. No clear visitor parking and the spots by hole one are all staff spots. I parked by 3 and it worked pretty well.
Just not super impressive design wise, could be a little better on this land.

Other Thoughts:
It's cool the college out it in, I would be playing safari on these all the time if I went to school here or possibly even if I was a local.
It's somewhat fun, but not super special.

Solid for Beginners 2+ years

Played on:Dec 11, 2020

Pros:
A pleasant environment offering a beginner-level challenge.
-Basics and Flow: The tees are clear, though they and the signs have major issues, see cons. Chains are good. This means that it's pretty easy to follow from hole to hole throughout the course.
-"Friendly": My label for the combination of easy-to-play, well kept up, and hard-to-lose-discs.
-Minimal Shaping: Although all the holes are short, they do utilize a minimum of shapes. (1), (5), (6), and (8) present trees to throw around, while (2) is a very challenging hole requiring either a huge RHFH hyzer or a precision gap hit. Elevation adds some interest, whether side hills on (1) and (9) or more direct ups and downs like (3), (4), (7), and (8).
-Beginner Friendly: With the longest hole topping out under 300', Reinhardt presents a good starting course. I encountered a couple learning to play, and I think these holes were the perfect difficulty. New players can make par on all of the holes, and even have a birdie opportunity on (3)-(5).

Cons:
-Amenities: The tees are deteriorating boxes of rubber mulch that are too small to be useful. The signs on them are apparently from a previous iteration of the course and have incorrect distances.
-Gap: (1)-(5) play in one area of campus, but then there's a long walk to the grassy space where (6)-(9) are located. This is annoying, and without a map, would be very difficult to figure out. The only parking convenient to (1) was all marked reserved, so there's also a walking gap between parking and the first hole.
-Hole Overlap: Definitely could be some issues if multiple groups played. (3)-(5) are almost on top of each other, as are (6)-(9). A couple of times I had to wait for players to tee off on the next hole before I could throw my first shot on the previous hole safely.
-Lack of Challenge: For a rec or better player, Reinhardt will be easy breezy. Anything but a birdie on the 130' hole (5) will be an embarrassment, with every other hole presenting a good chance to two as well.

Other Thoughts:
Reinhardt is a perfectly lovely beginner course. In terms of challenge for most players, it is pitiful. Overall, a solid Passable worth a play for locals with only a little experience.
-Personal Vendetta: For me, Reinhardt holds the dubious distinction of being the first course where I lost a disc down a sewer. A one-day-old putter didn't get off the ground enough and skittled along the road and through a drainage grate on (2).
