About the course

Moderately hilly Heavily wooded Water in play on 3 holes Host of the 2019-2021 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championships, 2018 Amateur World Championships ,1997 and 2012 World Championships . Very challenging, requiring length and accuracy. Wooded and open holes. Very well maintained. Holes A and B are the old holes 8 & 9, not played in the 18 hole layout. After hole 7, continue down the road past the restrooms and parking to hole 8’s tee pad adjacent and to the right side of the road.

Iconic course that looks VERY different without its DGPT clothes on. Super fun holes pulling out almost every shot in my bag. Definitely worth the stop.

Incredible course in a stunning park. Signage can be a bit confusing because there are lots of teepads to choose from but overall relatively easy to navigate. Definitely come play here if you’re in Charlotte!

Signature course. Hornets Nest lives up to its reputation. Established in 1979 this course has been kept up and holds any amenity you may want except a swimming pool (but I may have missed it). The course will challenge the best in the world while also allowing intermediate players enjoyment.
