Solid Course 2+ years drive by

Pros:
Good overall course, put in 9 relatively interesting holes rather than 18 mediocre/poor ones. Navigation was pretty easy.
Holes are generally tight and reward accurate shots.
Many of the fairways have obvious fair lines without trees even if sometimes a little narrow.
The par-4s are legit two shot holes, asking to hit a landing area and make an approach.
Cool basket in tree on hole 2.

Cons:
Rough is very thick, tough but not impossible to advance if you get off the fairways.
A few of the fairways are more 'close eyes and hope' (hole 7 approach and hole 8 drive)

Other Thoughts:
Puts other vacation courses I have played to shame. That being said I would go to castle hayne about 30 minutes south if I had lots of time or wasn't staying in surf city.

Pros:
It was a really beautiful course to walk. Good challenges on throws both left and right hooks. Long and short throws alike.
I really like the use of bridges and surrounding structures. Also a unique basket thats elevated.

Cons:
Again, it's a tough challenging course. If you get off fairway into the trees, it's difficult getting back. Some long blind throws makes it tough to stay in and find your disc.
If you're not alone, let one person throw, and the other scout ahead.

Though it was tough, and my game suffered 
, I enjoyed this course. It was a challenge, but that's the way to learn. It's a good play if you're traveling on vacation at the beach. Not hard to find either.
I'd go back for sure.

Pros:
9 holes of varying difficulty and design.
Very similar in feel to Castle Hayne.
Bring your bug spray.
Course has convenient parking and is easy to find the next hole.
Parking lot is right by hole #1 tee and hole #9 basket
Baskets are brand new and tee pads are mostly the rubber type and not an issue at all.

Bugs and swamp water ditches

If you get the chance it is a fun and challenging course.
