Pros:
The course at VHCC is a beautiful 9 hole course, set on what seems to be a nice campus in the quiet Virginia town of Abingdon. I came here during non-school hours, and there were no students, so I had the course mostly to myself.
To start, the tee pads are nice, concrete pads, allowing for full throws on the longer holes, and a controlled stance. The tee signs are beautiful and very descriptive. I really wish they were the standard for all courses.
There were a few fantastic holes, such as hole one, a 375 foot valley shot playing into some pine trees, or hole 8, another valley drive playing for a lefty hyzer down into the hillside.
The course loops back to the parking lot after nine, and sets up for a quick round or two whenever you are able.
There are a couple short ace runs, during my two rounds of nine, with two player, (so 36 drives), we had three metal hits, plus a cubby ace.
Cons:
While there are a few great holes, the short holes are duds. Three holes play under 150 feet, and are easy for even the less skilled player. While one of these holes is not bad, 1/3 of the course being a short ace run definitely isn't ideal.
The baskets were Mach II's I think, which caught most putts well, but I did have a 200 foot shot spit out, so I'm putting it in the cons because I still haven't emotionally gotten over it, and I'm allowed to make it a con because I'm salty about it, even if it wasn't the basket's fault.
Off the fairway, there was a good bit of poison ivy, which I'm sure would suck for people who can get it. If I were you, I would send a buddy in to receive your disc from the woods.
Other Thoughts:
While this is a great 9 hole course, there is a lot of untapped potential. According to the tee sign, there are 100 acres of land on campus, not including buildings. With a smart redesign of a couple holes, and the addition of a back nine, this can truly be something special, but right now it is a good nine hole course with a few dud holes.
