The Charleston County park system just doesn’t “get” disc golf. They have let unqualified players “design” really poor courses. And they never committed to the course because the 526 road (if passed) would make it impossible to have the course there. One time I played it with a PDGA administration official, kept my mouth shut until he said “there’s not really a disc golf shot here is there?” I had to agree. There have been improvements since then but In my opinion it is not worth playing. We have two good courses here Trophy Lakes and Sewee Outpost ( which is a real “technical “ course, not just a basket and trees with no fairway. Both are pay to play and worth it.

I was very surprised to hear that this course was designed by someone who plays disc golf. It's a very poorly designed course. Tight 10' (sometimes less) wide fairways with nearly impossible angles and low ceilings on 300' holes. Course still has multiple portable/temporary baskets. Swampy terrain and not very well manicured. ZERO open holes so very little variety. Not to mention the course "opening" at 12 pm and being pay-to-play. I was expecting a lot from the re-done layout, but this is pathetic. The course should have been left in the main park area, not near the climbing wall. I am very disappointed with this course.
