This course was super fun on my first play through!! Feels attackable and challenging at the same time. Great shot variety with some open shots and some tight woods, and has a few par 4s. Really the only thing about this place is the teepads. If they get those in, this place is going to be a go to for a lot of people!

Can’t wait for teepads!

Brand new course, so obviously not to full potential. Very fun layout with a wide variety of shots. This will be a gem as it beats in.

This course is going to be a staple of Upstate disc golf for years to come. The property is well maintained and the holes require a variety of shot shapes. There’s scorable holes and some where par’s good. The concrete tee pads are some of the nicest around.

Awesome replacement for the Firecracker!

Very fun and diverse course. The concert tee areas were awesome and the course was very well maintained. Will certainly play again!

Best Church course I've ever played! I think it might even be better than Firecracker!

Pretty nice course overall. Excited for it to keep developing, get worn in, permanent tee signs, etc. Will easily be 4.5/5 star soon if they keep taking care of it at the same rate

The layout is really great. Some signage but more importantly tee pads are needed. Slipped on a good 5/6 pads since they were muddy. Once those are added this could be an easy 4-4.5

They’re really starting to clean up the bad brushes and thorns will be great soon!

This is an exciting new course, with some great hole designs. It's definitely a bit punishing to newbies but there's a ton of variety. The tee pads still need a lot of work though as they are all dirt/mud currently.

This was actually a really nice surprise on a first play of a brand new course. Very fun layout with a wide variety of shots. A couple weird spots in terms of course flow (17 to 18 felt awkward in particular) but overall the course designers really made fantastic use of the property. On a wet day with no tee pads it played very tough but with pads I think it will be a nice intermediate level course. *I think starting on hole 3 would improve layout and flow overall*

This course has a lot of potential, especially considering how fresh it is. You can tell there’s been a lot of work put into it already, and there are several really fun holes with unique lines that make for an enjoyable casual round. That said, there are a few key areas that would really improve the overall experience: flow, tee pads, tee signs, and the severity of the rough. A few specific observations: • Hole 2’s tee pad feels a bit too close to Hole 1’s basket. • The transition from 4 to 5 (and similarly 7 to 8) requires crossing back over a fairway, which disrupts flow and could create safety concerns. • The routing from 16–18 goes back and forth quite a bit, which makes the closing stretch feel disjointed. • Hole 10’s tee pad either needs to be moved off the building or have proper decking installed to make it feel secure and intentional. • The rough off the fairway on 11, 16, and 17 is extremely punishing — comparable to Holston-level thick — and could be thinned slightly to improve playability without sacrificing challenge. • Several tee signs appear to be reversed (or at least a number of them are), which makes navigation confusing. I imagine some of this may be temporary and already planned for adjustment. Given how new the course is, that would make sense. With some refinement to flow, signage, and a bit of cleanup in key areas, this could develop into a really strong layout. As it currently stands, it might be challenging to host an event here due to the navigation and routing concerns, but the foundation is definitely there. Overall, it’s a fun track with creative shot shapes, and I’m excited to see how it evolves.

I really like this course so far. It stands out nicely compared to other courses around. Love the shot shapes and variety. Definitely has so much potential. That being said, tee pads are a big issue as there isn’t any. It didn’t bother me every hole but when more people play it, it’s just gonna be a huge mud pit with no footing. A lot of briars need to be cut or trimmed since the rough is very very rough . And holes 12-14 are a little gimmicky and could be cleaned up but those are the only holes I disliked . But I know this is a new course so it’s only gonna get better and it will beat in nicely .

Still under construction but going to be a challenging but fun course.

Wow, genuinely impressed by this new course. The designer thought things out pretty well, a few holes you have to walk back across the fairway to get to the next tee, but they likely did that to be able to use up the entirety of the property. There’s just some new course things that will surely take place over time, some high branches and lots of debris around the course including spikey vines down low in some pathways and on a few putting greens. Good variety of shots required, I like that there is a good balance of lefty and righty shots, felt very fair. Gaps early to hit off the tee on a couple holes, good basket placements that make for some tricky putts. The new tee pads are a bit small but perfectly textured and easy to step up onto if you require additional run up. All in all, I really think this is one of the best courses to come to Greenville.

Strong start with a solid front 9 and good flow through #11, then the layout feels squeezed and runs out of room on the back. • Fun, throwback design with simple shot shaping, minimal obstacles, and a few well-placed mandos. #7 is a standout par 4. • Several safety and design issues, especially #2 playing alongside a parking lot with real ricochet risk. • Transitions and navigation need work. Crossing fairways and weak signage make it easy to get off track without UDisc. • Back 9 lacks balance, with multiple short holes (#13–16) clustered together and limited variety. • Overall a good, above-average course (3.0). Enjoyable with some strong holes, but clear space and design limitations.

Tee Pad update. Pads for 1-8 and Pad 10 were poured 3/4. These are now cured enough and ready for use. Pad 9 and 11-18 are scheduled to be poured today 3/5. These will be ready for use 3/6.
