The past reviews are old . The course is in great shape with tru disc golf lines you must hit. The staff has been putting in lots of hours with clearing cutting trees a making lines .there new equipment is keeping the fairways clean and the mowing has this course shaping up better than any course I play in my area short of williamsburge.getting the rest of the concrete pads in would get this course in the A+ range. I wish the local tds would talk to staff and iron city problem with insurance for tournament play . I love a course that has tru linesfor both right and left handed players

This course needs a club to sponsor it and get more traffic through. Once worn in, I think it will be a phenomenal course but you can tell it doesn't get that much use (no stickers on baskets, no trees with marks from errant drives, litter, and the fairway looks like it doesn't get much traffic). It is an austere sort of course. I played mid-morning on a solo round and it was cathartic playing a round here. The woods are thick and it punishes you if you don't hit your line perfect. It does get wet and muddy very easily and I'm sure it will have mosquitos to high-heaven come summer.

I hope that the green fees start going towards grooming the course a little more. All other courses I've played with green fees at least have the fairways carved out a little better, whereas here some holes are very "poke and pray" types, with one or two holes that will let you bomb it. All in all, it is a fun course, just a little rough around the edges.

Totally densely wooded, very muddy with puddles everywhere (January 25, 2017), well marked with both long (white) pads and red (shorter) pads and also hole map signage at tee pad showing distance and layout. Look for red blazes on trees down the fairway on the many holes that are long or too dense with trees to be able to see basket and use as a reference target to get you there. Ran into a player at Bayville in Virginia Beach the next day and he said in summer 2016 he played and came out with 13 ticks for himself and 8 on his partner, and his father (a state Park Ranger) told him there were more rattle snakes in that woods than any where else on the East Coast, which I can believe judging by the total wildness of the topography, which boarders the swamp. 3 or 4 par 4s and one or two par 5s gave me 3 birdies for the day, but the trees took that away with 5 bogies. It is the most densely wooded park I ever played, I thought Benett's Creek in Suffolk was tough!
