Piedmont Community College

one of my favs. i dig this course. not just because its where i work, and i get extended lunch breaks on some days, but because its one of the most thoughtful courses out there. the designer took everything into consideration, most of all other players opinions, instead of just throwing it haphazardly together. probably a boy scout. i'll list my review from positives to negatives. positives: great mix of heizer/anheizer, long/short. technical and what's the opposite of that?. 3 tee pads (b ...

one of my favs. i dig this course. not just because its where i work, and i get extended lunch breaks on some days, but because its one of the most thoughtful courses out there. the designer took everything into consideration, most of all other players opinions, instead of just throwing it haphazardly together. probably a boy scout. i'll list my review from positives to negatives.

positives:
great mix of heizer/anheizer, long/short. technical and what's the opposite of that?.
3 tee pads (beg, inter, adv)
incredible elevation changes and use of natural surroundings
great challenge from blues
amazing signs (*wink wink*)
alternate basket locations (6 holes - 3 front & 3 back)
new, so never crowded
benches, stairs and bridges where needed

negatives:
no concrete tee pads
summer bugs (spiders, tics, bees and so on - so watch it)
hard to walk/navigate for beginners
new, so not worn in
no main kiosk

in time a few of the negatives can be taken care so that's why i'd put this course on the definite upswing even though it's new. give it a few years and pro tourneys should be lining up as a destination. a definite course to make on your "must play list"

Starting off I like to let everyone know what Im personally looking for in a course. I love the scenic aspect of disc golf (this includes boulders, lakes, wildlife, and plantlife- I do study horticulture). With that being stated, I rate a course based on a combination of the scenic factor and the overall course aspects (this includes layout, fairway lines, divesity of holes, and amenities) Ultra scenic front 9 works its way thru a middle aged forest with some decent sized oak, maple and hickory ...

Ultra scenic front 9 works its way thru a middle aged forest with some decent sized oak, maple and hickory trees.. Huge moss covered boulders (eye candy) line the fairway and scatter many of the sloped greens.. Native azaleas, wildlife and a peaceful meandering stream await you on the back 9 just adding to the aura of this nature filled round.. The signs here are world class, top of the notch giving the intended line and elevation gain/lost.. The monster is pretty tight and will leave you scratching your head if you get off the fairway as it is a rather new course, but pull out the gator (RHFH) and you can manage your way thru the very an-hyzer (RHBH) friendly front 9 and rough.. I love this place and is/was in my top 5 the first time I played it.. With Sasquatch DGC just up the road, Roxboro (in my opinion) will slowly become a semi-mecca for dgers who want thier fix on scenic, technical golf
