3 sets of real teepads, Red/White/Blue. I've never seen anyone put so much work into the red tees, which are usually an afterthought in design if they are thought of at all. I don't do 4.5 very much, but the designers deserve this one. You could play so many different variations, like red-white-blue-red-etc that it is easy to go around twice and have 18 different holes.

Hole 9 is kind of a throwaway hole, just a wide open field shot. Completely different from the other holes.

I don't understand why people knock down 9 hole courses for having 9 holes. Rate it for what it is.

Permanent nice size cement tee pads
Signage at tees very helpful
Entire course well maintained
Good grade of baskets

Hole #5 tee is located behind the recycling bins & a bit challenging to locate.
Many baskets with little or no throwing lanes to them

I was disappointed in the number of holes that had protected baskets with little or no paths to the basket. On my first round I hit a tree early and had a long second shot to the basket but it had a clear path. The second round I had a great drive and no shot at all to the basket. Overall it was a fun course but I prefer a course where you are rewarded for good shots and do not have to rely on a poke and hope.

- Nine more holes of golf in Alamance County!
- High potential for 9 more holes, mostly wooded.
- The existing 9 are a great mix of mostly midrange tee shots.
- The Red tees are a great beginner course.
- The Blue tees offer some challenges for the experienced.
- Top notch baskets, tees, and signage... even scorecards.
- Great design to utilize all available land efficiently.

- Alas, only 9... but hopeful.
- Watch out for the walking track folk.

Guys, this is just a fun little niner, mostly consisting of fairly tight wooded lanes, with a couple of open holes, one of which is a pull at 365'. It's short, even on the blues, and plays pretty quick, but you can play it twice, or best out of 3 is what we usually do. It's a great course on the Red tees for "Metals"... throw 3 discs off each tee trying to ace, or hit metal. Hitting any part of the basket is worth 0.1 point, while an ace is worth 10 points. No need to putt out, just running aces...
Many thanks to Tom Wagner for his codesign and input to get this course built. And thanks to Alamance Co Parks for helping to make this county an awesome disc golf community.

Pleasant Grove Community Center is a well-designed, beginner-friendly 9-hole course -- with the potential for a full 18 in the future. Of the "Pleasant Grove" courses I've now played in North Carolina (2), "Community Center" tops "UMC."

+ Perfect track to introduce new players to the game and for Rec-level players to work on improving accuracy, particularly with putters off the tee.

+ Rare to see multiple tees for a beginner-focused 9-hole course, but Pleasant Grove has red (rec), white (intermediate), and blue (advanced) tees. The red tees are gravel and are perfectly fine for the length and layout of those holes. The blue tees are concrete. The white tees share with the reds at times, with the blues for others, and solo for a few.

+ Ace runs! Play here long enough, and you'll bag some aces. Don't sweat it if the red tees are sub-200 feet. An ace is still an ace!

+ Navigation is a cinch, with an easy-to-follow flow, Next Tee signs, and accurate maps (both on UDisc and at the info bulletin board).

+ Technical, wooded track to test your putter (and maybe mid from the longer tees) accuracy.

+ Holes 1 and 9 are more open and give players the rare chance at full pulls.

+ Fun, brand new little track that is well-maintained and is beating in nicely.

This track probably meets its full potential as an easy, fun, intro-level course. It could get a ratings increase from me if it gets 9 more holes. But then again, if that happens it would probably be reintroduced as a new course, as far as DGCR goes.

- Not designed to be a challenging course to most players beyond the Novice or Rec levels.

- Not much variety in terms of the discs or shots needed.

- Only 9 holes

Great place to introduce people to disc golf, as a stop on the way to legit courses, or one just to bag for your collection.

Great new DISCatchers.
Small gravel tee pads, they really don't need to be very large for most of these holes.
Natural, Long tees marked with landscape flags.
Good mix of left and right holes, most had large enough fairways.
#1 is mostly open and #9 is completely open to provide a little variety.

Still a little rough after a lot of fairway clearing for the wooded holes. Weeds, briars, and stumps all make this a "watch your step" course right now.
A few of the wooded holes were pretty close together, due to the small area allotted for these holes.

This short 9 hole course has a name very similar to the also recently opened Garden Grove DGC in Pleasant Garden, NC, less than 30 miles away. GGDGC is a Blue level 18 hole layout that is very challenging.

These Nine holes were recently installed in a wooded area behind the Community Center building in this unincorporated area north of Burlington. They definitely spent some money on this one, brand new DISCatchers, framed gravel tees and quite a few trees taken down. Like any new course through thick woods (no matter how small the lot is), it will take some time to get beaten in.

Just about all the holes are ace runs, so it is a pretty quick play. #3 is dead straight and slightly downhill, most of the other wooded holes were either tight Hyzers or Annies. #8 was kind of fun, slightly elevated tee, into the woods and finishes left around probably the biggest tree on the course. I couldn't see the basket, looking from several spots on the tee.

The plans are eventually to make this part of an 18 hole course. #9 finishes in the middle of a wide open, mowed field, that does not appear to be used for anything else. I imagine that area will be used as well as the area to the left as you pull in, with scattered trees. So, 18 holes here should have quite a lot of variety, including these seven in the woods. I see online that there already is a weekly doubles night on this course, so there should be a lot of interest in another 9 being added.

Nine holes of undeniable disc golf with the potential for more. The course features seven tightly wooded holes bookended by long, open field holes. Open up your round with distance drivers than put them away for seven holes until hole 9. The wooded part is putters and mids all the way, unless you like to get freaky with rollers and overhands, etc. Hole 1 is wide open but the basket is so locked down that Gary Payton would find it obsessive. The wooded holes are generally straight shots with a slight lefty/FH bias. Most of these are very ace-able, extremely so from the short tees which are often in jump-putt range. Hole 9 is absolutely wide open, like surface of the moon open.

Not a whole lot of disc golf in this area so this is a nice warm-up spot on your way to more fertile grounds. The open holes let you get some field work in whereas the wooded holes hone that technical, finesse game.

Natural tees, very natural in regards to the longs (I expect this to change). The short tees are tamped gravel but will probably suffice with the traffic this course will see.

Navigation isn't great but it's not a very large space to get lost in either. Had no probs finding tees but the longs are currently marked only with flagged stakes in the ground so not exactly permanent.

Holes 2-7 are very shoehorned in this stand of woods. It's not bad but holes 6, 7, and 8 are very cluttered together. Could be a pain in the Avenger SS if there are many players on the course. Hole 6 in particular is a bad, obvious filler hole.

There's a lot of annoying viney briers but this is a new course so that's to be expected. It plays around a recycling area and perhaps relatedly there are lots of old bricks dumped around the woods. The ground is uneven enough with dead trees without these hazards.

I'll probably never play this course again except to break up the drive on my way to Roxboro but it's not that bad. I don't think there's much differently I'd do with it in regards to design. I'm curious to see if it gets expanded to 18 holes in the future. My gut feeling is that you could make a really fun 9 hole course using the combined land of the current nine holes and the future holes. But 18 on this property is pushing it. But I've seen much, much worse. I'll probably upgrade my rating in the future to a 2.5 tops if it gets beat in nice and long tees are installed.
