+ Surprisingly diverse course. There's a lot of elevation changes, some doglegs in both directions, multiple raised baskets, a hanging basket, and some legit par 4's and 5's.

+ More challenging than I expected. The front 9 was pretty easy except for 2 & 6, but man the back 9 felt like a completely different beast. Long, wooded par 4's and a par 5 featuring heavily wooded fairways with dramatic elevation changes. I enjoyed the back nine as much as any of Charlotte's premiere 18 hole courses.

+ Incredibly peaceful atmosphere. Had the course to myself the entire time, and it was extremely quiet out there. Mostly listened to birds singing and woodpeckers hammering away during my round.

+ Couple of nice ace runs. #3, #4, #7, #9 and #15 all have potential. Managed to hit #15 during my round.

- This could be both a pro and a con, but this course doesn't feel like an 18 hole disc golf course. It feels like two completely different 9 hole courses that just happen to be next to one another. On the front half you have clear signage, marked holes, and ace run after ace run. On the back 9 you're facing longer holes in denser woods with no tee signs, that don't share the same care free ace run feel as the front 9. While the front half is defined by elevation and ace runs, the back half is all about demanding wooded holes forcing you to reach deep in your bag of tricks.

- The front 9 sort of feels like a pitch and putt. The holes are quite short besides #2 and #6, and skilled players won't find a significant challenge to the other 7. There are enough trees to punish errant shots at least, they aren't wide open park holes.

- The back 9 is not shown on the kiosk map, and about half the holes have no number marked, and none of them have distances, pars or signage of any kind. The distances listed on the course info page here feel off.

- Tees are a mix. Some are concrete, some are paver stones, 18 long is just a carpet layed down on the forest floor. They all worked well enough though.

- Few benches on the back 9. Don't remember seeing any until late in the course near the last two holes.

- One more bomber hole that's a little open would be nice. Taking 9's teepad back another 50' would make that hole a lot more memorable.

- Can be confusing at times. On the front 9 there's times you're facing 2 or 3 baskets at once. The back nine lacks signage to tell distances etc. Two different holes, #3 and #11, had two different baskets. I'm not sure which ones were intended to be used, or which ones are used for the measurements on dgcr.

This was an awesome course to experience. If the entire course had the same feel as the back nine a 4 is the minimum I'd consider....more than likely it'd get a 4.5.

I cannot overstate how impressed I was with the back half of this course. I would rate it as highly as any other course I have played - it far exceeded expectations.

As it stands it's a nice mix of holes. The front 9 is a fun ace filled romp with some fun elevation changes providing diversity. The back 9 is a beast, requiring a diverse selection of shots and distances to score birdies.

Finding the course was easy enough following the directions I got. It's not far from I77.

Signage on the back 9 would be welcome. You'll do a lot of walking back and forth spotting baskets since there's no signs.

Not recommended for people looking for a more manicured park style course. It's a fairly rugged experience. Highly recommending if you like secluded feeling wooded courses. I enjoyed my round immensely and will be back.

Absolutely go out of your way to experience this course. If you're visiting the charlotte area and want to experience the best it has to offer, this course is a must, up there with renny gold and hornets nest.
