Pros:
I loved Waller Mill. Lots of elevation change and woods will almost always garner a high rating from me. Adding dual tee pads and dual baskets on every hole can't hurt either. Water is in play, but only on a few holes. There are signs at each tee that help when you don't feel like walking the fairway on a blind tee shot. I used different tees and baskets on some holes, but mostly used white tee to blue basket. This is a course I would love to play a few more times. It would factor in as a major benefit if I were to consider moving to the area.
Some of the tees are carpeted. Not ideal, but they were pretty good. Chainstar baskets were doing their part well. The layout is pretty easy to follow, but having the map can be helpful, starting with finding the tees for hole 1. A sign here and there will aid in navigation between holes. There are blind drives on several holes. Usually the line is pretty intuitive and the tee signs offer a general idea of where to aim.
Every hole presents a different look and a challenge. All are good, but hole 7 grabbed my attention. A major downhill drive, over a creek at the bottom with baskets on the opposite side. There are trees that need to be avoided out of the box, but lines are there.
Cons:
Upgrading to concrete tees all the way around would be nice. The existing ones are fine, but if I had a con I guess that's it.
It is a pay to play course, but it is well worth the price of admission. $2 park entry and $2 for disc golf.
I wouldn't bring a beginner here, it is an advanced level course. Even the short tee to short pin layout requires a good skill set to play well.
Other Thoughts:
Awesome course. It's been quite a while since I played New Quarter, but I think Waller Mill is the best the area has to offer now. Not a lot of the classic grassy park vibe here. Intense play through dense woods, with plenty of elevation change, and a little water that could eat some plastic.
I think the combos I played added up to par 64, and I was not close to that. I did manage to make a couple of birdies, but was a dozen shots over at least.
The weather was excellent for mid February, and the course conditions were good. Inevitably some leafy debris lingered toward the end of winter. Recent rains left a bit of mud and a few puddles along the side of the 14th fairway, but everything else was great.
It is worth the drive from Virginia Beach. Traffic was congested due to construction, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
