Good beginner course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 15, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very accessible course, little brush to lose discs in. Clear lines to throw on all holes. It is an easy course but I'm new so I like it. I consider this my home course until I'm able to play the long course a little better. I usually play it 3-4 times in 1.5 hours. The tees and baskets are in great shape as well as signage. I am trying to get more consistent with control and this is a great course to help with that. I'm sure for more advanced players it would be boring, but for beginners who are trying to get to an intermediate level it helps build confidence. Everyone of the locals have been welcoming and helpful.

Cons:

The ground holds a lot of water for days/weeks after a good rain. You can still navigate it but your feet may be wet. Some of the fairway terrain is very uneven, which some don't like, but it doesn't bother me.

Other Thoughts:

I think this course is doing it's job of getting more people into the sport. I know it did that for me as well as my son. I see a lot of experienced players using it as a warm up before playing the 18, and some using it after the 18 as a confidence rebuilder. From a design/terrain standpoint it is completely flat which I don't like.

Fun Warm Up Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 13, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

A great little warm up course for the monster 18 across the field. The Bulloch County crew has done a great job getting the two new courses out here up and running, and you can see their hard work in this little 9 basket experience.

The course is nested in a small plot of land that is littered with pine trees and small growth vegetation. Being that the course is so new, there aren't many well defined fairways yet, but each hole provides numerous lines for your disc to reach the basket in the air. Standing on many of the tee pads, I found myself consistently scratching my head contemplating what line to take. Should I go left of the tree, right of the tree, between the trees... you get it.

Each hole consists of brand new concrete tee pads and brand new targets. Most of the tee pads are clearly visible from the previous basket, and signage does a good job relaying information about distances.

You can get away with only carrying a couple of discs here. Most holes are less than 200 feet, with a couple stretching out longer than that. Be prepared to throw straight, left, and right off the tee.

I played on a wet, drizzly day and didn't get very wet. All of the pine trees throughout this course do a good job of providing a natural canopy over the area. I bet this will be appreciated in the hot, sunny summer days.

The teepad for hole 1 is located just off the parking area near the Disc Golf sign. Very easy to spot.

Cons:

Due to the relatively close proximity of baskets in this little area, figuring out what basket is the target on each tee pad is a little challenging. I had to walk around a few holes to figure out where to throw.

The vegetation can be rather annoying because it's just high enough to hide snakes and discs quite well. Luckily for me I went on a cold late winter day so I didn't see anything, but I imagine in the summer this place will have all kinds of critters running around. Bring bug spray just in case.

Other Thoughts:

Don't let the review fool you. It's a quick, short 9 hole course. If you're looking to get someone into the sport of disc golf, this is a great course to break them in. There's almost zero chance of losing a disc, most baskets are reachable for new players, and you can play a complete round in less than 20 minutes. I'm sure once this place gets broken in a little bit, it will be a real treat.

UPDATE - The vegetation has finally "broken in" and this little gem is a treat to play. The rough is manageable some windows have opened around the greens. Holes are easy to find and actually quite challenging. Practice your spike hyzers, thumbers, etc before getting a round on the big 18. Also a great place to introduce someone to the sport.
