Eager Beaver at Elon Park

Practice basket: Yes, 3 baskets, good enough distance between them to not get in the way of others as well as practicing some upshots or long putts Parking situation: Somewhat limited, there’s more parking behind the main building if the one next to Hole 1 is full Number of holes: 18 Difficulty level: Family/Beginner+ (probably one of the best full courses in south CLT to bring new players or the family to since it’s relatively short and scoreable while still giving you a taste of what the full game is like) Cart friendly: For the most part, some areas are a little rough Water Dangers: Yes a lake, Hole 15 it’s short enough not to worry about but it’s still there behind the basket Other Dangers: Not really, just watch out for cars on Holes 7 & 18, also watch out for people early releasing on Hole 17 if you’re on Hole 18s tee pad Bathrooms/Water Fountains: Yes to both, both are located inside the main building when the building is open Tee areas: 2 sets of tees (shorts & longs) both sets are concrete tees with a few tee signs missing Benches: Yes, almost every hole Trashcans: Yes, Holes 1, 9, 15 have them Signage/Wayfinding: No signs but it’s easy to tell where the next tee pad is just by looking, can also use UDisc Overall Rating: 5/5 Rating Reason: A great course for all skill levels from anyone looking to try it out or for Advanced players looking to work on their short/approach game. It’s a fun shorter course with some ace run opportunities, some gaps to hit, and some fairways to lace. Nothing too challenging for Intermediate+ players Improvements: Updating Hole 11 from the longs as in clearing some brush/limbs/trees to make it more noticeable what the line is or make it slightly more open because currently it’s kinda a throw and hope hole, replace missing tee signs and also update tee signs Other Notes: Would love to see them utilize the other side of the pond(across Hole 15) to add more holes to make it a 21 hole layout (can try to include old hole 2&3 from angry since the tee pads are still there it seems), would also like to see them try to grow grass or add mulch to the one practice basket that’s all rocks and dirt

Very pretty, tees can be a little confusing to find but overall one of my favorites I’ve played so far in NC
