Hated it

I am not part of course volunteers, so my feedback is non-biased. I have played all Columbia, SC area courses, and over 80 courses all together (over a year and half at Pisgah) this course still ranks high for me. Yes holes 5 & 6 have been updated about a year or so ago. Hole 5 is now a very short raised basket par 3 (should be par 2), and new hole 6 is one of the few “let it fly” holes on this woodsy course. Walk back up to find tee 7 (from basket 6). UDisc might need an update.? Yes, finding tees 12 and 17 is a bit tricky the first time of play. And, yes the holes are near each other, but are very wisely designed that neighboring play really does not factor. In fact, the course feels bigger that it is- it takes intentional study to realize the exactness to which/what hole is near. I truly confess that while these holes are surprising close, it does not effect play. Basket 18 ends course; just look for a second, walking out of woods and back to parking lot is pretty obvious. I love the woods on these narrow fairways because finding a disc in the ruff usually is easily spotted in the very clean woods. Upkeep recently has fixed some wobbly baskets and cleaned up fairway edges. All tees have benches, and posts with hooks. Most tee areas have brooms. Tee areas are colored the same color as basket - colors are not “levels” (blue, white, red, etc.). Pay attention to hole color, and then the few times with neighboring baskets, knowing which basket to aim is obvious. Yes, they are numbered too. I have never seen this course dirty while trash cans are not on course (nor restrooms). But, it has a very clean feel, as compared to many courses I have played that have trashcans and restrooms. I have never seen this course dirty. Most definitely not a “1 or 1.5” course. No disrespect to other raters, but I have seen those type of courses, and this is a solid 3.5+ (I rate 4.5). Do not fear trying it out. Hole 1 is easily found, and allows good space for practice/warm-up throws. Holes 2-4 and 7-18 are in woods. Hole 16 still gets the better of me (a beginner)- chasing my first par there. Holes 2, 3, 8, 9, 13, 15, 17 and 18 have narrow drives or mandos (some more demanding than others); logical mandos - 17 might frustrate the typical 300’ “driver”. My favorite holes are 4, 7, 12, 14, 15, 17 - but, I typically can’t throw 300’ drives. Most love hole 6, and most will find 3, 9 and 16 challenging - basket 9 tucked nicely around tree with long overhanging branch (great design). Give it try!
