South Piedmont Community College offers a fun 9-hole layout. It's a good mixture of open and wooded holes, giving players a reason to stop in Polkton.
- Fun mid-range course. No distances listed, but holes all appear to range from about 140 feet (#6) to 240 feet (#2 & 5). I played two rounds with a Buzz and a putter and had birdie putts on every hole at least once.
- For a 9-hole layout, course offers solid variety in layouts and looks. Every hole has a varying degree of trees in play, with #6 being the most wide-open. #3 is a relatively straight hole with the basket surrounded by trees if your shot strays off line. #4 & 5 play dogleg right to a sharper dogleg left layout. The final three holes all have trees protecting the basket. I threw high sweeping, RHBH shots and finished both rounds with three straight tap-in 2s playing the same shot each time.
- Solid course for beginners and casual players. I thought the course was much more enjoyable than most 9-hole layouts, even if it wasn't the most difficult. That said, birdies aren't automatic, you've got to earn them with solid shot-making.
- Nice, small-town campus. Other than hole #1, you play away from the highway and have a pleasant, quiet stroll through portions of the campus.

Biggest con is that the course is in the middle of nowhere. You're either driving east towards the beach or heading west towards Charlotte. If you don't pay attention, you'll drive right past the school and not even realize it.
- Holes don't have distances listed. If you don't have a good eye/feel for your throws, that can be frustrating.
- Navigation can be a bit tricky at times. There's a long walk from #3 to 4. To the designer's credit, there are disc golf flags marking the trail. The long transition from #6 to 7 isn't marked. You must walk straight past the amphitheater to find the tee markers for #7.
- No trash cans or benches. Also, coming from the west, there weren't any gas stations/fast food joints close by. You'll need to drive east towards town to find places to eat, drink, use the restroom, etc.

This is the second-best disc golf course I've played at a South Point Community College campus. Dry Creek is on Monroe's SPCC campus.
- There appears to be plenty of good, unused, wooded land on the campus if the idea to expand is ever explored. You could have an 18-hole layout that looks and feels just like Oakboro District Park 25 minutes away.
- Nobody is ever going to drive this far away just to play this course. You'll need to tie it in with other courses. I was already in Monroe, so I knocked out Wingate and this course. From that perspective, I could justify the time and distance.
- Disc golf has given me the chance to stop in some small towns I would never otherwise visit. I've now stopped in out of the way towns like Oakboro, Troy, Weaverville and now, Polkton, simply due to their disc golf courses. It's enjoyable stopping in these small towns, if only for an hour.
