Solid Woods Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 2, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good mix of open and wooded holes.
Some really great holes and interesting throws.
Mostly fair throwing lines.
Water is in play enough to be interesting, but not enough to bring 10 extra discs.

Cons:

Some bad holes you just have to endure.
On some holes, you can lose a disc 2' in rough. Other holes more clear--but wear long pants if you don't have total control.
Navigation could be better.

Other Thoughts:

I would definitely play it again, but would choose Rockness if you don't have time for both. Also highly recommend playing all 3 Monsters for a day trip: Rockness, Kraken, and Sasquatch.

Pros:

Beautiful park with a lake. The tee signs are awesome, cute little sasquatch dude and very informative. Three tee locations, red, white, and blue, if I recall correctly but this review is mostly from a white perspective (cuz that's what I played, sucka). Not bad variety, you have some fairly open holes sprinkled here and there but mostly technical woods holes and of course the lake comes into play on ~4 holes. The wooded holes are generally on the shorter side but fairly designed, hardly much pinball action unless you aren't very good at disc golf (hey, we were all bad once). Not crowded at all, we might have been the only people playing there on a lovely Saturday afternoon (the park was packed otherwise). It flows alright, the white tees aren't too much trouble to locate, just look for the Sasquatch signs and benches. Pretty sure there was a bench at every white tee.

Cons:

Specifically, the tees are very natural and rutted right now, bummer. When you're praying for a perfect shot over the lake so that you don't lose your disc, you really really want a smooth teepad. Speaking of the lake, hole 2 is frightening. You have two different baskets to throw at but neither one is much disc losing hazardous than the other. One is on a peninsula (not bad, I like it) the other on the bank and behind a barrage of big trees so if you don't hyzer over the lake just so and throw too straight you can easily kick back into the water.

For the holes being no longer than they are, it seems like you do as much walking between holes as you do actual playing and a lot of feels like you're going uphill all the time. Strange.

Biggest complaint is that the course plays over and along lots of trails and park roads. The trails didn't look very popular but still. Discers beware of others.

A couple of tee signs had the basket position in the wrong place. No biggie. Not intuitive at all where you start the course. The transition to hole 17 is long and semi-confusing. The first few baskets are old and beat to hell.

Other Thoughts:

Still though, this is a really fun course. Reminds me a lot of Lake's Edge (Reidsville). Some concrete tees would greatly boost the fun factor. Bring some throwaway discs for a few holes, a Roc and an Eagle for example.

Update: This course just isn't being played enough to keep nature at bay on the fairways. Poison ivy abounds and until they get better tees it's going to sit under a 3 disc rating for now.

Update 4/25/20: Since I reviewed this course they've added 9 holes, denoted by letters, that are interspersed among the OG 18. They're all pretty fun, arguably better than 9 of the originals. They only have 1 tee position but they are easily looped into the original layout so playing all 27 is seamless. If you're a quantity over quality guy, you might rate this course higher than I did. Tees are still natural but in good shape.

Not quite there yet 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 21, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very scenic park that has elevation and water mixed throughout. Lots of potential here. Course seems very balanced. New baskets on 90% of the holes. Designed to have dual tee pads whites/blues. Situated in a very developed clean park area with restrooms and camping available.

Cons:

Navigation I think comes into play here especially if you are trying to play the blues. There are "next" tee signs fastened to the baskets but they only point you to the white tee pads. The blue tee pads are hard to find and in bad shape. Hole 2's blue pad had a tree 2 feet of the ground where you couldn't even tee from it. The fairways for the blue tee pads are really rough and boarder on the edge of unplayable. It would be nice if all the tee pads whites and blues had a better tee "box" area. 3-4 of the holes utilize "walking trails" I don't know enough about the park to know how busy these trails are but it would have been nice to see them design around that.

Other Thoughts:

I played this course from the blues and white tee pads by myself for the first time. From the whites the course is playable and a good time can be had here with fair lines that will challenge most levels. From the blues the course flow is challenging with longer than expected complicated transistions from basket to next tee pad only to arrive at a more primitive tee pad with an even more impossible/raw looking fairway. This course needs more time to open up and a fix some navigation issues after that I can see my rating going up a whole point. Lots of potential here.
