Disc Golfing On A Savannah 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 26, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

First off let me say that I am very pleased and grateful for all of the new church courses going in. It gives them something to do with their extra land, provides activity for the congregation and nearby neighborhoods, introduces new people to the sport, and of course provides more courses to bag!

This course is one of the longer church courses that I have played and will provide a decent challenge for new-int throwers (pros will prob finish -16 or better). The holes range from around 250-500+ with most set in a series of open fields. There are a couple of holes with trees on them to force a little shaping here and there. We tossed this round during the dry season, and it was bone dry. Judging by the topography, there could be water hazards during the rainy season. The course has nice tee signs that show distance and layout.

The course was litter-free and mowed tight.

Cons:

The cons unfortunately are many.

The tees are natural and in bad shape. It's pretty much "throw from wherever you want to" near the tee sign now. Hopefully concrete is coming. Most of the holes are vanilla straight field holes with only distance changes for variation. It can be very windy. This will not be the best summer course. There is not a lot of shade on this one. The course is next to a very busy road and the road noise is loud and everpresent on some of the holes.

Other Thoughts:

It's a course. It's open to the public. It's playable. There is a good chance that you will have the whole course to yourself because folks will gravitate to the better courses in the area. If I had anything to do with this course I would plant a bunch of trees etc and let this course grow into a possible 3.0 course.
