It is at a brewery. They give you beer AND you get to play disc golf.
Two tee pads per hole with nine baskets and the tees are just different enough to make it feel like 18 holes.
It is on an island.
Ok, look, this is basically a putt putt course - most of the holes are 150' - 200'. However, it is still a very difficult course to score on. Most of the fairways are 12' wide or less (notoriously holes 8 and 9 are like five feet wide!!!). What I love about this is, if you play a lot here, you will be ready for pretty much any upshot or scramble you could possibly come across.
There is a statistical likelihood of getting an ace anytime you go on the course, who doesn't love an ace?
It is on private property but you can play anytime regardless of whether the brewery is open. Glow rounds every Tuesday at 6:30 during the winter!!!
If you come here pretty much any afternoon, you are guaranteed to run into some Pleasure Island Disc Golf Club members who are all very nice people.
Very good usage of a relatively small piece of property - the layout is great.

I mean, it is very short. Some would call it a putt putt course, but, it is still fun. You are guaranteed a few ace runs, which is cool.
Mosquitos can occasionally get bad on the island, especially after hurricanes.

Disc golf at a brewery is a game changer.

Trinity 9 hole Disc Golf is a Course that sits directly behind Good Hops Brewing . The parking lot is smallish . You can always use the bathroom inside the bar during business hours . Even though the bar hours are 1-8pm on Mon-Sat and 1-7pm on Sundays , they still welcome the disc golfers from dawn to dusk . ( Thank You ) .
The Equipment - There is a kiosk with map close to the ground near hole #1 . There are 2 types of tee pads . cement tee pads are at the original spots , and wood tee pads were added to make it an 18 hole course ( really 9 with alternate pads , but ,,, okay ) . A wood elevated tee pad is used for #2 . The tee signs are prevalent on both sets of tee pads . The 9 baskets are yellow banded Discatchers .
The Landscape - The course was in good shape when I played . Maybe a few small trees could be cut back , but maybe it adds to the challenge . The course goes mostly back and forth with smaller trees making most holes tight , technical and tunnel shots .There are going to be some cool twisted trees that you will have to throw around . The fairways are sandy , so you might want to empty your shoes after coming off the course .
Course Appearance/Atmosphere - The course is confined , but almost every other shot has the bar in your peripheral vision . Lots of tunnels , this is a novelty that looks to be enjoyed by the patrons wanting to get out and move around a little . Since they allow you to bring beer onto the course , I saw no less than 2 couples having fun drinking their beer while throwing the holes .Fun Factor is alive and present here.
The Highlights - This is a pitch and putt course . There are no epic holes , just fun little ones .#1 is a fade to the right , #2 is a throw from a wood elevated platform and #9 ( &18 ) is a 186' narrow shot to a hanging basket .
Disc Risk - Pretty much zero . If you lose a disc here , then you were too drunk to take it out of the basket .
The Time - it will take you 15-18 minutes to play 9 holes here depending on how much beer you want to spill during your round .
The course is not to be taken too seriously , but it's good fun and draws people out to socialize and even have disc golf in common .

#1 Challenge - Challenging ? I don't think it's supposed to be . Because of the low ceilings on most of these holes , it's a tough ace run , but an easy birdie fest .
#2 Sand - it will get in your shoes , but you are near a beach ! Can you imagine that I said it was Crabs , instead ?

Another bar setting itself apart from local establishments by adding a disc golf course on it's grounds . Since the course opened in 2015 , the idea and costs have been covered 10 times over since then . They will get travelers/vacationers like me to come in and buy a couple of beers that would have passed this establishment by , not knowing it even existed . Free advertisement through disc golf review is a beacon for local players to create a buzz , and promote the Wilmington/Carolina Beach area and keep money in the economy . I kind of wish there was a hole or 2 of any length or challenge that would have made me work a little harder , but it was still a fun run .
Be aware that they have something going on Tuesday nights on the course and avoid that evening . ( can't remember if Doubles or League ) .
My Recommendation - An easy fun play that gives tourists and locals alike to have an excuse to drink beer and throw the disc around . An easy course for the curious - and a deuce fest or ace run for the seasoned . This is a great place to meet people , sit on the patio and relax . In the area , play the course and have a drink !!

Short, fun course right beside a brewery. Course has 9 holes, but two separate tee boxes on each hole, one for the front 9 one for the back. Very short, makes for a quick round anytime. Course is all sand, so wear proper footwear.

Short course, not necessarily a con, just keep that in mind when going. Course is all sand, again not a con per say, but keep that in mind and wear proper footwear.

Great short course with the added benefit of grabbing a beer for the course.

This course is attached to a brew pub and they provide to-go cups to take craft beer on the course. Multiple tee positions to change up the play.

It is a small course. No real driver throws here if that's a bad thing. Great for practicing short game though!

-Course on the property of a micro brewery.
-Solar light under every basket and nearby streetlight allow night golf here year round.
-Concrete pads and signage.
-Did I mention it's at a brewery?

-Only 9 holes and quite short, low ceilings make the holes difficult to ace.

Great way to spend an afternoon/evening if you don't want to play Joe Eakes.

Great tees, signage, baskets
Good mix of shot types required

None really; it's a 9 holer in a small wooded area bordered by a brewery and two roads. As long as you know that, then it's just about as good as you could expect.

Had fun here. Great mix of hyzer/anny/forehands required. One mando on 7 (I think), mostly to stop a spike hyzer out over the road I believe. Lots of tight lines to hit, so even though it's a short course, birdies aren't super easy to come by. Lots of low ceiling shots too and pretty ugly rough. Originally planned to just bring a Judge but decided at the last minute to bring my small bag. Glad I did. Some of the low ceiling shots are better executed with a mid I believe than a putter. Still, threw putter most of the round. Had donuts at Wake and Bake (world famous), got through all 9 holes in just over 30 minutes, saw a couple of hawks looking for breakfast and then visited the aquarium down the road. Great little course in a great area.

Nice short course that's good for ironing out the kinks in your short-game.
Tee signs are a plus.
Any tees that are close to the previous basket are protected by an obstacle or shrubbery.

Highly susceptible to flooding. I played after a rainstorm and there was significant standing water on hole 1, 2, and 9. I suspect that the Hole 2's tee is on a platform for that very reason.

Not worth a trip if you're going to play it and not one of the neighboring courses.

Literally, in the backyard of a brewery (Good Hops). Need I say more? Ok a few more things...
Brand new DISCatchers, cement tee pads, a few benches also on the course.
All holes are about 150 - 180', shouldn't need more than putters.
Had a couple of left and right holes, but most are straight.

If anyone thinks of any Cons, see my first Pro above!

Fun little course to use as a warm up or cool down after playing Joe Eakes. In fact, Dow Rd is a great "bypass" from the normal beach traffic. Heading south on Dow, the speed limit is 55, the road makes one turn and you are at Joe Eakes. Like a DG Highway!!
It would be fun to play this, have a beer, play again, have another and see how your game is affected. Just remember that DD for the ride home.
Most of the holes have ample lines to hit, but 8 and 9 get real tight, you will earn birdies on these two.
I ran this course on a Sunday morning after playing Joe Eakes, so I didn't get to sample the product, but that Topless Amber Ale is definitely on my list to try!

Trinity DGC is a nice little pitch and putt course at a brewery, Good Hops, at Carolina Beach. It's only 5 minutes from what I would describe as a white level (intermediate) course in Kure Beach, Joe Eakes Park. Trinity is perfect for a warm-up round before Joe Eakes or it its own right if you're checking out the brewery, want to play a putter-only round, or introduce a newby to the game.

+ Designed to be a beginner-friendly and/or putting practice course. For these objectives, Trinity hits the mark.

+ For a short 9-holer, there's a good mix of anhyzer holes (2, maybe 3 for RHBH), 1 hyzer hole, and a lot of dead straight holes. This course will make you work on putter drives. The fairways are tight.

+ Located at a brewery.

+ Brand new baskets.

+ Good signage and easy navigation.

For what this course is intended to be, Trinity is really strong. Don't misinterpret my 2.0 rating as a knock on this course. It's simply a short, beginner-in-mind course.

- Not particularly challenging. Nothing over 200 feet.

- Some of the beachy underbrush isn't fun.

If you're visiting Kure, Carolina, or any of the southern New Hanover beaches, definite check out Good Hops and Trinity DGC.

behind a bar; bring the friends and have a drink to celebrate if u get a hole in one! Cool nine holes like a mini Kure beach. a good chance to score your first ace. safe environment.

No signage.

Sure wish it had nine more!
