About the course

Mostly flat Moderately wooded This is a private course. Text Tim Johnson for permission and directions. Great private course situated along the Tar River in Franklin County. Open holes require power and accuracy. Tight, wooded holes have real rough. The back 9 has nice downhills, and a few uphills, that play along the river bluff. Every hole gets nicer and more picturesque until the signature 18th hole along the river bank. A quick dip is easy for both discs and golfers.

Great private course, you can tell lots of time and attention has gone into it from Tim and his pals. Tim came out to give us a howdy and shot the breeze a little bit. Passionate disc golfer no doubt, fun guy. Not much for tee areas but they're not really needed for this style of golf. Mix of miscellaneous old baskets including some home made models. Nice level of challenge fore a couple amateurs like us. Aced hole 15! Thanks Tim!

Great course. Thanks to Tim for letting us play out here. Legend and legend course. Tee signs and pads are a little rough but to be expected on a private homemade course therefore its nothing too bad. Definitely enjoyed the course. Will be out here again.
