About the course
Located next to the Hickory Ridge golf course, this disc golf course is hard (but pars are soft). This is a true championship level course that will exploit your lack of distance and accuracy. Wooded and field holes. Field holes have a narrow fairway with high grass on each side. Wooded holes have “natural” OB if you get off the fairway (spotter helpful on a few holes). Quite a bit of poison ivy and briars in the summer so wear pants. This is the BEST course in the area but is plagued by lack of maintenance. Usually prime for play in cooler months.

some type of tee would be great instead of uneven mud splotches, otherwise I had a blast. pick up some sticks while you play and toss them to the side

Fairways are ok. Play conservative. Do not go into the rough, it is ultra ouchy.
