About the course

Sugaree offers a diverse collection of 30 holes which weave along the contour of Sugar Mountain at 4,000 feet elevation. Boulder outcroppings, cliffs and ledges provide elevated tee pads and precarious basket locations. Most holes are tightly wooded, but the course intersects with our Fraser Fir Christmas tree farm multiple times for an added open component. There are 5 different layouts, but each is a hike that does not loop back to your car until the end of the round, so be prepared. There is water and a porta-john mid-way through your round. Unless you are an extremely fit advanced player you should stick to one of the OG layouts on your first visit. * If you are planning to play other courses in the area; it is best to play Sugaree first, when your legs are fresh.

After being called crazy by the owner, I was kicked off the property. Not sure what happened with communications but I can share some "rules" that were not expressed to me clearly. The owner does not allow teeing off after 11am and will not let you play other disc golf courses on the same day. This is the 2nd time I've had to post this review. Be careful what you say to the owner, he can be sensitive.

Absolutely a blast!! Technical lines with great elevation changes, while it may still be a little primitive as far as tee pads and signage the holes make up for it. Amazing rock formations and a Christmas tree farm create such a fun landscape to play disc golf in. The hosts are are super nice and helpful, they even have on site camping! I recommend you check this place out!
