-Lots of shot variety. You will need your full arsenal of shots here.
-Pro and Amateur tees make it play like 2 different courses. Pro tees aren't just longer they make you play a completely different shot on most holes.
-Family friendly
-Good for any skill level

-No signage or benches for the most part. There is a bench by hole 11 and 15(kind of in-between them) and a picnic table you can chill out on number 8.
-Local schools sometime use this park for cross country practice, so you may have to wait to throw at times. Not a big deal to me but others may not be as patient
-Easy to lose discs on a couple holes. I personally haven't but I have found at least 5 discs there in the retention pond by 17 and 18.
-Construction on some parts of the course

Overall this is my favorite course that I have played in the 6 months or so since I've started. The pro tees definitely bring a challenge where the amateur tees aren't easy by any means but a lot more forgiving on several holes. 12,13,14 are "closed" but like many have said you can still play 12 from the am tees and 14 you just need to make your own tee box. Luckily this is my home course so I get to play it a lot. At least 1-3 times a week.
Once you play it once or twice the lack of signage isn't really an issue either. This wouldn't be the first course I would play if it were my first time out but it really is fun for any skill level. If there were signage and a couple benches here and there it would be just about perfect in my opinion.

Beautiful course with minimal trash. They really have done a ton to this park.

You really have to work to stay under par here. You have all kinds of shots here. Elevation, super long, tight/technical, up/down.

Finally has an excellent bathroom area.

Changes have been made to make this a challenging course to play.

Finally has a good bathroom area but it isn't anywhere near where you would park to play the course. You really have to drive there before you start or after you finish.

No signage - I hear of new signs coming so I am excited to see those.

I'm not a fan of some of the changes. Hole 2 really makes no sense to tuck it even farther right on that long anhyzer. Hole 11 again a dogleg hard left and a hard 3 although I did manage to 3 it today. I guess I just enjoyed the previous shot long up the hill on the right.

In the end it is a course that just drives you nuts sometimes but I enjoy myself when I come here.

- Va-Du-Mar begins with a couple of fairly open holes before working its way up the side of a wooded hill. A stream wanders through the course, coming into play nicely in several spots. A couple of small drainage/retention ponds also come into play. Overall, Va-Du-Mar provides a solid mix of hole types with shorter technical holes in the woods, and several bomber style holes in the open. Up, down, left, right, it's all well-represented here. Pro tees add distance and difficulty, changing the angles of approach in several spots.
- Great risk/reward on some of the water holes. #14 stands out as a hole you can either safely lay up on, or go for the glory. The risk is that the pin is positioned on a small bump of land with a marsh to the left and a real chance of rolling down the hill behind the pin. # 15 requires a RHBH hyzer shot to the pin, with the stream hard to the left and wooded hillside ascending on the right. #7 is a short downhill ace run with the stream directly behind the pin.
- Most tees are concrete, although a couple are natural. Signage, when encountered is good. A few trashcans located throughout the park.

- I'm probably being nit-picky here, but the biggest cons for Va-Du-Mar are mostly cosmetic issues that don't impact the quality of play, just the natural beauty of the course. I visited Va-Du-Mar in the early spring, before the leaves had budded. I found some parts of the course to be quite lovely, but there were a few spots that were complete eye-sores. One of the retention ponds had (according to our local guide) recently been stripped of the marshy vegetation, and basically looked like a big, ugly mudhole. I'm not sure if that's something that will grow back in summer, but it looked bad at the time. Rock and dirt piles, as well as large concrete industrial tubing lay along numbers 10 and 11, again spoiling the natural beauty. Also around this area is a path of ankle breaking rocks, waiting for a misstep to turn into a twisted ankle or worse. Nothing that would keep me from playing this course regularly if I was in the area.
- Signage is a bit suspect. Where it exists, it's fine; however, in many places no signs existed, or were missing, or were only for either the am or the pro tee. A few places could benefit from a "next tee" sign.

- Don't let my "cons" section fool you. This is overall a very lovely course with some very good golf to be had.
- Friendly locals. Our group was allowed to finish our round quickly despite a junior's tourney that was starting up. The gentleman (TD?) let us finish after we told him we were from out of state, which was very gracious and cool of him.

Nice variety of hole types, some really good woods holes, a couple open bomber holes, a few holes with water hazards involved, ups and downs, doglegs and more.
Great tees both short and long, decent sized, not huge but I am not a huge run up kind of guy so it doesn't bother me.
No real interference from other park goers.
Very nice terrain for a course.

Little to no signage, lots of hole numbers missing.
Initial play kind of confusing with some long transitions between holes.
Some next tee signs would really kick it up a notch.

This is a sweet tract of land that kind of breaks you in slowly. The front 9 is challenging but not hard but the back 9 will kind of slap you around a bit. The hole lengths from both tees are of a good variety and of course the terrain really makes the difference too.
There are holes where you have to choose whether you want to play it safe or go for it over some nasty retention ponds. There is also a creek in play but it is relatively easy to get your discs out of there (15 is a prime example of very easy to get wet).
This is the kind of course that you want to play another round as soon as you finish your first, I will get a nervous twitch to veer off the interstate any time I pass Boiling Springs.

There also seems to be some potential for some killer safari or temporary holes (look left from 12s basket and you will know what I mean).

When I think of what of Disc Golf Course should be, I envision a course like Va-Du-Mar. It features lots of wooded hole and some water but offers 'fair' fairways on every hole.

The course features two-sets of tee pads marked pro and am. The changes from the tee pads add more than just distance...the longer tee pads on several holes also offers more challenge of having to 'hit' certain gates or lines that the short tees don't offer. However, the short tees also offer more than just a short hole. The challenges from the short tees also offer lines not present on the longer tees.

The course takes advantage of the elevation changes as well. Allowing for some harsh penalties if you don't stay on task on the holes with drop offs to one side or the other. Not only will you play along a ridge with drop off to one side or the other, you'll also have a few holes playing up the hillside with danger if you don't hit the line and also have a couple of options playing downhill with a few dangers present...like an OB creek just past the basket.

While the course has great tee pads and a nice mix of holes, I found the lack of tee signs frustrating. The course works through several areas in the woods that also features several walking trails through the woods and with the lack of directional signs, it can take a bit to figure out which way you go once finishing a hole.

This is a course that I would love to be my home course. It offers all that I enjoy about playing the game of Disc Golf. My rating would be higher with be tee signs and better course directions from one hole to the next tee pad.

I really think this could be one of my favorite courses in the Upstate area of SC.

Great variety, not too crowded, and based on these reviews I had to try the sh*tters (they're magnificent)

Tough finding the first and second tee (first is across the parking lot from that giant playground, second is in the field). Prone to mud

Variety - 5/5. Every throw, every disc

Beauty - 3/5. I went before the leaves came back, but it's a pretty park and the streams are nice. I took pictures of 15 to show my lame friends who didn't come.

Trackability - 2/5 - After hole two there are beaten paths to the tees, however it seems like little signs wouldn't take too much time/money/effort

Lost Disc Hazard - 3/5 - Again, winter, easy to find discs. It looked like the ponds were drained and I'm sure the brush grows up

Vibe - 2.5/5 - I caught it early but by the time I was done there were boyscout troups walking the course, etc.

Safety - 4.5/5 - very chill family style park

3.5

*Review is from the longs, although I'll give my two cents on the am tees*

First and most important pro in my book is two sets of concrete tees. Right of the bat, I had an option to play the course two different ways. Fantastic.
-The park wasn't very busy as it appears there still working on making it active in other areas
-Intelligent design, with a variety of shots needed here
-Wooded holes are tight, fair, and some surprisingly forgiving
-Transitions are pretty good here, no next tee signs but with footpaths its fairly obvious
-Variety! You'll get some wooded holes, some open holes, a mix of the two, some holes that will feel woodsy off the tee then open up (I'm pointing the finger at you Hole 13!)
-Water and OB: I absolutely love water and OB, Va du Mar delivers with aplomb due to the creek, mini marsh, and "drainage pond"
-Risk vs reward, if you want that birdie you're going to have to go for it

-Signage is inadequate, but even by myself I didn't struggle to find the nice yellow bands of DISCatchers..pro signage is pretty much nonexistant but this stuff doesn't bother me too much
-Transitions could be a bit tricky/annoying for some, not a problem for me though
-I don't remember any benches next to the tees but I saw some away from the tees

7-8 minutes off of I-85, this course is a must play. I was going into this one expecting something big and it delivered. You get everything here, woods, long bombs, water/ob, ace runs, tunnel shots, etc. Like I said before, if you want that birdie you HAVE to go for it, shining example is 17 from the longs. You'll have the draining pond muck mud crap all along your left and creek to the right, theres really no option for a layup. I won't beat a dead horse by going into a hole by hole analysis but this course is extremely well rounded and an excellent example of a well designed, and most importantly fun, disc golf course.

-Excellent tee pads. Each hole had a pro and am tee.

-Great Innova DISCatcher Baskets set up very well.

-Variety of shots required here. Many tight wooded lines, right-to-left shots, left-to-right shots, and overhand.

-This course forces you to concentrate and hit your lines

-There are a few long, open holes which are a welcome break from navigating the tight wooded holes.

-The course has a great flow. It's very easy to navigate your first time there.

-There are a few Ace opportunities, but no gimmes.

-There are a couple of poor transitions. Some baskets you had to walk up to know where it was.

-Poor signage. Most holes had a laminated sheet of paper with the hole # and distance. Some tees had a wooden pole only with no sign or number. Permanent signs would help this course tremendously.

-Still lots of areas with thick thorns and ivy.

-Course located on a fairly busy park with some activities on the course (dog walkers, track runners, etc.)

This course has the most variety of almost any course I have played. No matter what level player you are, you will not be disappointed. Extremely fun and easily accessible from I-85.

Nice mix of open and wooded holes

Nice mix of length's

Every line you can carve is needed here

Challenging, but fair

Solid concrete pads and amenities

Very busy park, this may not be a con to many

A couple angles seemed awkward...like hole 3 from longs. It was ace run length, but I couldn't find a line to the pin.

There is a cool flow here. The course never gets monotonous. You are constantly bouncing between open and tight shots.

You will need every shot in your arsenal to score well here. This course rewards a balanced game. Some courses tend to favor folks who have arm canons. Some favor the technical mid game. Not here. If you are weak in any area, it will be exposed at some point.

The play is quick. There are no significant walks between holes. There are plenty of ace runs. There is some length, but nothing crazy. There were a couple holes in the 500 range, but typically you shoot in the 300's.

This is truly a fun course. It's the kind of course you can play over and over. The diversity will keep you comming back.

Very quiet park. Great long layout, each hole offers something different. Has both wooded holes section and long wide open ones too. A little stream funs through the middle and a couple of retentioon ponds. Great for unleashing some big drives, and for practicing some tight shots. Great course to check out if you havent played it yet.

Very challenging especially when trees are not dormant.

Beautiful course. I played and am Reviewing from the longs. Also, there are 2 new hole additions/changes. 2 and 3.
There is a mixture of everything here. Up, down, water carry, precarious pin placements, tight shots and open shots. A thumber came in handy here. Holes 1 and 2 are great open holes. On hole 1 you have the option of going straight for the basket or way around the trees. 2 is a nice open bomb and then down a fence line to a protected basket. 3 is changing and is new. The new hole is a gauntlet with a creek on your left. i really enjoyed the new hole. 4-10 are great classic holes that fairly wind up and down a hard wooded hill sloping down to a creek. 11 is a beautiful LONG bomb down a gas line and over a creek. 11-12 are open shots. 12 is cool, you have to hit a gap right off the tee to a wide open field. 13 is a rear end clinching 340' swamp carry to a pin on a retention ridge. 14-17 play along a creek or retention swamps and put a premium on long distance accuracy. 18 finishes and then you have HOLE 19! An extra hole, who can ask for more. Course is maintained well and I saw almost no trash. The bathrooms are AMAZING, but far away from any part of the course except hole 12-13 Concrete pads are level and dug in.

I can't say much bad about the design of the course. A few places are eroding and need some attention. Hole 6 long tee needs a better route cut and the corner softened. If you ignore the course beauty, you will notice that there are no trash cans or benches for the DG course. There are a few benches for park users near some of the fairways but none at tees. There is no signage for the long pads. The information is on the short pad but it is temporary laminated paper and many are missing. None of these effect DG, just enjoyment level. Pads are 10'. I saw most people having to start behind them for some of the longer throws. They are all mostly sunk in so its not a big problem but 12'er would be better! It started as a cliche joke about each hole being lefty friendly because I was playing with a lefty. It seems like lefty or side arm is the best shot for either fairway curve or because safety is on the right for a majority of the holes; not a big majority, but maybe 10 of the holes depending on how you look at them.

Great course, a must play if you are on your way down Rt85 South. I will drive the 90 miles again to visit. I have 30+ courses closer, but this is in my top 10 that I have played country wide.

Baskets - Double chained Innova DISCatchers!
Concrete Tees - I straight up love me some concrete tee-pads and so do you.
Multiple tees - I played the am tees on the first round. After my first round I gave a shot on the pro pads. The pro pads give this course a whole new variety of shots and shot placements on several of the holes.
Isolation - It was amazing that on a beautiful Saturday morning that there were almost NO other DGers or trail-walkers to be seen (for the most part). It was a great feeling to basically have the whole course to ourselves.
The Variety - There was almost every type of golf shot imaginable on this course from tight tunnels to longer dog-legs to wide open hyzer bombs. Several open holes and several wooded ones and even a little bit of "over the swamp" danger as well as a few OB creek shots came into play.
The Elevation - Most of this course sits on a ridge at the back of the park and they made good use of the elevation in the layout design of this one.
The NEW restrooms - I had to drop off a hot stinky before the round and found the new bathrooms that had just been built. Man, talk about CLEAN. I was impressed. No stinky outhouse like down at Squirrel Lake or Ocala Greenway on this course. You could practically EAT off those floors.... not that you would want to though.
Hole #19 - To make it a great ending to a great course they have this last extra hole that is a "Cubby Ace" for you just waiting to happen. Go ahead and empty the bag on this one; You deserve it.

What? No benches? - I was surprised that not even the Pro pads had at least one bench every couple of holes.... zilch. After traversing over all that elevation, sometimes you just wanna have a seat. Just a personal pet peeve of mine (Now's the time to get that folding tripod stool!).
No signage - I did remember seeing only one sign and that was on the very first hole. Other than that you pretty much had to go take a walk up to look to where the pin was located.
Trash cans - This isnt a major gripe but I remember only seeing 1 trashcan throughout the course. But then again I didnt remember seeing any litter on the ground either.
No practice basket? - Again, not a major gripe but it's always great to work on your putts before starting a round... I guess I am too pampered living in Charlotte where every course has a practice basket near the first tee.
Watch out for the bikers (and the occasional kid running up one of the fairways!) - Even though I felt miles from civilization through most of the round, there was the occasional brief moment of cyclo-cross bikers playing "Tour-de-France" through some of the fairways. Also: I was about to tee-off full force with my Star Valk on one of the holes when (thankfully) at the last second (through my run-up) I stopped because this little girl came running up the fairway from behind a blind spot. Let's just say from the size of her dad that I am glad that my ninja reflexes kicked in and I did not release that disc. How was I gonna explain the fun sport of DG when his little princess is laying there with busted glasses and a broken nose?

Van-Du-Mar Park is a beautiful "family centered" park with multiple ball fields as well as bike trails and a playground area for the little tykes. It has something for the whole family.... Shoot, bring the dog too, just bring a leash when you do.

I met up with DGCR member BennettUA and played the first round off of the am tees with him and his brother. They had to take off but I didnt get enough of this one yet so I met a group of 3 other guys that got there as Bennett was leaving and they were nice enough to let me join there group on the Pro tees. They were helpful and kind and that was the vibe I got off of a few other locals there.

I really enjoyed playing this one and with the addition of tee-signage and some benches on the pro tees with some additional pin placements, this course could definitely be a 4.5 disc rating. The near serenity and isolation of the course being separated from the rest of the park gave me the feeling of playing on a private course. This course just has such an awesome flow to it as well and that makes for a happy round.

To sum it up, if you are in the area, this course is a definite must play!

All concrete tee pads, plenty of length and in great shape, Innova baskets in very good condition. The course page lists it as being 5 years old, but it sure doesn't look it. Tee signs are mostly there (on the am pads), and navigation is no problem, even lacking a map. Nice newer park with plenty of parking and other facilities. When crossing the creek several times, very nice bridges were in place to help you get across. The course, and the park in general, appears to be very well-kept, all grass was mowed, minimal trash, etc.

I am a fan of tighter, more technical holes, so this course really catered to me. Not too many of the holes are very long, but they definitely make up for it in difficulty and/or uniqueness.

This is also one of the very few courses I've seen where the pro tees play COMPLETELY different and more difficult than the am tees. It is almost like two distinct courses.

My memorable holes:
3 - First hole that is really in the woods. A little downhill, tunnel-type shot, and don't go left very far, as the creek and beyond is OB.
5 - Not terribly long, but uphill, sloping from low right to high left. Pin is up on a ledge about a trail that runs across the fairway. Killer roll-aways! One of those holes where the pro and am tees are almost two totally different holes.
7 - Down a steep drop to a clearing. I've played this type of hole before, but this one seemed so easy, yet after three throws, I still hadn't gotten my disc to stay far enough right. Visually stunning hole.
8 - From the am tee this is almost silly short. But don't let the length fool you. Up a short hill then hard right up a narrow path. Creek downhill on your right, slope on your left. All sort of danger on this hole.
11 - One of the few fairly long holes on the course. Plays through a long straight opening in the forest, about 50 feet wide. Start at the top of the hill and the basket is across the creek and up a hill. Be very careful to keep your drive low, or you will be spending some time searching through the trees on the left.
14 - Now this hole is just plain tough. Not all that long, but not too far off the tee you have OB swampy area. The "green" is just behind that, on a berm that runs left/right, and drops of behind the pin about 6 feet down to a clearing. Do you go for the layup on the berm, and risk swamp or dropoff before and after? Or do you risk ridicule from your buddies about laying up before the swamp for an easier upshot?
15 - Over the creek and through the woods...no I won't go there. But if you can stay dry off the tee, you then have to be careful to not get over-zealous in your putting since the pin sits just next to the creek.
17 - Pro tee has to clear a good amount of swampy lowlands, then you are in danger of a creek on the right. But be careful how much you put on your drive, the pin sits lower than the tee and it is easy to over-throw.

There is not much to complain about at this course, other than just a couple minor things.

Several holes seemed kind of similar, just a tunnel-type shot through some trees, 200-250 feet (am tees), but there was definitely enough variety to keep them interesting. A couple of the open holes (2 and 13, notably) were just long throws most of the way, then play a little into the trees at the end.

The only other complaint that I had was walking down the hill to 7's pin from the tees. It was very steep and the soil is a bit loose. There are some rocks/roots strategically placed to help, but I believe a set of steps would work wonders in avoiding potential injuries.

My rating of a 4 is based on the fact that this course is high on my list of courses I've greatly enjoyed. It has some open, but more wooded holes. They are technical in nature, but fair, and not completely punishing if you go a little off. I could stand for some holes to be a bit longer, but in now way did they seem TOO short. I have not enjoyed a course this much (despite the 95 degree heat wave) in a long while. With a couple issues fixed, I think I could rate this course a 4.5

If you are in the vicinity of this area, I highly suggest making the trip. It is well worth a little drive, and being a little shorter than a lot of the championship courses, you could play it a couple times in 3 hours throwing solo.

A good variety of shots, elevation change and distances. Beautiful venue. Easy to follow flow without a map or guide. The long tee pads create a quality tournament level course.

Needs tee signs, benches, drinking water.

I really enjoyed this course! It was very user friendly and presented challenges without being over-punishing. I came her from Furman University course which challenged my pathfinding skills, and was delighted by the difference! Although I played the short tees, I tested several long ones, and found them to be worthy for pro and advanced players. The short pads present a tough recreational challenge for intermediate players. This course is worth seeking out for a good experiece. With a little more development this course will be 4-4.5! THANK YOU CHAD!

A beautiful course that forces you to throw lots of different shots. Hyzer, anny, uphill, downhill, long, short- this course has it all. The pin placement is VERY good, with only a few approaches that could be called easy, but always fair.

The course itself is quite beautiful, and utilizes many different geographic elements. Some holes are tunnel shots, some are open-ish, and there's both a creek and a wetland area. You never encounter a boring shot because each hole is different than any before it.

Mostly, it's just really fun. It can be quite punishing from the pro tees, and very demanding not only in terms of distance and accuracy, but also in the combination the two. At the same time there's lots of birdie opportunities and even a few aces runs.

The signage is pretty bad but the flow was pretty natural so navigation isn't a big deal. There definitely needs to be a water fountain because this course gets HOT in the summer.

It would be nice to know what par is. It's not listed on anywhere I've looked. I think a 54 isn't enough. Holes 6, 10, 13 and 15 would all be reasonable 4s from the long position.

If these improve I'll update my score to reflect that. With a few more improvements I could give this course a 4.5.

This course reminded me a lot of Idlewild, and my friend came up with the nickname "Idlewild Lite." I think that's a great analogy, and a great compliment to this course. If you live anywhere nearby it's definitely worth the drive.

There is a nice variety of holes, with a good mix of longer looks and shorter ace-run type shots, as well as a few really cool uphill and downhill holes. The mix between open and wooded leans a little more toward the open end of the spectrum, although trees are potentially in play on every hole.

The use of detention ponds and a creek for OB is excellent, and creates great risk/reward opportunities.

Dual concrete tees are the norm throughout, with only hole 7's short tee being natural, and hole 19 having only one tee. The long tees seem to add considerable challenge to the course. I especially enjoyed the longs for holes 14 and 17.

The baskets are all new DISCatcher Pros. There was a little rust on some of the inner chains, but I'm under the impression that Innova had some issues recently with their supply of chain, and will send out replacements for cases like this.

Some of the pin positions are excellent, with the wooded holes being fair and well guarded, and the open holes having OB to deal with, but with greens not so small to make it seem unfair.

The park is new, and still has that "new park" feel to it. It is clean, and I don't recall seeing a single piece of litter. Obviously there is someone who is taking great care of this course.

None of these are a big deal at all, but they are cons none the less.

The signage is adequate at best, missing in some cases. There are only distances and hole numbers listed for each tee, and the signs seem only to be located at the short tees. Navigation, while very straightforward, could be a small issue if you only wanted to play the long tees, as they would take a little more time looking around for without a post sticking out of the ground to spot.

There are no trashcans or benches out on the course. Again, I don't recall seeing a single piece of litter, so no big deal here.

The course is a little more open than what I typically prefer, so sunscreen is a must for me, and I found myself looking for shade on many of the holes.

There are Port-a-Johns near the first tee, and they sit out in the open under the beaming sun, so you can imagine what that's like. There is also no drinking water currently at the course, so bring plenty, as you are out in the sun a good bit on this course.

There are plenty of stores and restaurants about two miles from the park that you will go right by if you're coming from I-85. (And I would imagine from I-26, also.)

On the whole, Va-Du-Mar is a terrific course, well worth the trip down from the Charlotte area. It doesn't have a lot in the way of amenities, but it is loaded with great golf shots to be made.

Very well designed, new course with unbelievable potential! I was very pleased to find this gem. My friend and I just picked a random course near us and drove an hour to get there. After playing 10 holes, we noticed a sign about Sunday Doubles on one of the tee 'sticks' (not exactly a tee sign) We joined the guys from the Hub City DGC on hole 1 and they welcomed us with open arms. I want to say that those guys were awesome, very nice and friendly. If you get the chance, join them for Sunday Doubles (only $7 and two dollars goes toward making this course better) This course could be a 4.5 or 5 in a few years

Honestly, this course is new and all of the cons that I will list will be taken care of by the Hub City Disc Golf Club. However, the course needs tee signs, needs directional signs, needs trash cans and benches. It would be nice to have a practice basket to putt on near the first tee pad. (In their defense, they have a 19th hole that ends near the first tee pad that could be used for putting)

Of the courses I've played, this is by far the most scenic.
Well layed out and thought out.
Holes are challenging and well marked.
Some open, long holes and some tight short ones, good mix.
Tees are concrete and well marked.

No established par, leaving the assumption that course par is a 54, despite a few 400+ feet holes.
Could benefit from the placards that are in place at Century Park, showing basket locations and obstacles.
Two swamp areas that come into play on three holes, bring your waders if you throw into there, or at least a change of socks and footwear.

This is my home course as well as being the first course I ever played. There have been some major improvements over the past five months to the grounds and paths (mulch has been laid down on much of the pathways). There was a huge pile of trees and scrap wood when I first began playing this course, but that has been removed and I no longer have to climb thru it to find my disc! Spartanburg Parks and Rec has the upkeep and have done a great job, even being very accomodating to someone who throws very erratically when they are working! Some football/soccer fields and a nice playground for the kids. Of the three area courses I've played, this is the most purpose built for Disc Golf and would be very good as a tournament host.

Alot of the fairways in the woods are narrow and challenging. Looks like the park caretaker is in the process of clearing out more dead brush.

Mostly dirt fairways with a few holes with grass fairways. When we started playing, this was our first course and there were no signs whatsoever, so Kristy and I found this website and we are the ones that printed, laminated and stapled the signs to each post. That was last October. Now most of them have been ripped down. There needs to be more permanent signage for newbies.

Overall, we really like this course and it has many challenges! Jim

This course was a lot of fun! Great mix of short holes and long holes with some fun elevation changes. Nice integration of the creek as well. The course plays as a trail kind of - each basket had a distinct trail that led you to the next tee. The park looks pretty new and there weren't too many people there.

Every hole has a pro tee and amateur tee except one in which both tees were on one pad. Every hole has concrete pads and a laminated distance sign (was missing on one hole, probably got ripped off the post and blew away). Many holes feature good risk/reward shots with the integration of a creek, swamps, and several steep hills. There were several benches along the course and a few picnic tables. Currently there are porta-potties but it looks like a nice restroom facility is in the process of being built. Baskets and tees in good condition.

When playing from the long tees, it can be difficult to see the basket and the tee sign is at the amateur tee which means you have to walk past the pro tee to the sign and then back to the pro tee. The swamps/ drainage ditches were a pain to throw over. If the disc were to go in (it happens) it requires some wading through weeds, mud, and water to find your disc and get it back. I actually saw a few discs sitting out in the middle of one of the pond swamp things because no one could get to them.

19th hole was an interesting idea. The park seems to still be under construction to a point so in a year or so the course could look completely different.

The front 10 holes play through the woods and are tight and technical and the back 9 turned into longer, more open holes but still required skill. This course was quite fun and enjoyable to play on and I am looking forward to going back.

Side note: Every Sunday at 3 they have doubles on the course ($7 I think) so keep that in mind if you were planning on playing on a Sunday afternoon.
