Summary Review: 3.5 Stars (out of 5)
The disc golf course at Century Park is better than your average city park recreational course. The course is not particularly long, even for a recreational course: 11 holes measure less than 300 feet. The course is also not persistently tight. That said, the light smattering of trees and other obstacles are used to good effect, and there is a nice mix of shorter more technical holes and longer more open holes. You will need decent power and good control of your disc to make birdies here even though most holes are birdie-able with a good tee shot. The course has enough elevation to keep you interested, but there is no extreme elevation. This course and park may be the most popular in upstate South Carolina: there were many groups playing the course and many people at the playground when I came here on a beautiful Friday morning in mid-May. Course maintenance is decent: several tee signs were missing or heavily damaged when I came here. Safety can be a problem because several holes are very close to other holes, park boundaries, or park roads. This course is a real work horse in terms of the number of rounds it sees, and it is popular for its convenient location and its recreational value. As long as you come here expecting a recreational round rather than a championship test, you will have an enjoyable round here.
Hole-by-Hole Review
Distances taken from hole signs or dgcoursereview.com; link provided above. Picture sequence for each hole is 1) tee, 2) approach, 3) basket to tee.
Hole #1: 264 feet, par 3
Comments: a dogleg left around the corner of the parking lot. A mandatory (mando) on the left keeps you away from the parking lot, as does a cluster of trees directly between the tee and basket. The parking lot is still a little too close for comfort. A good straight throw that finishes short and right of the basket will leave a makeable birdie putt. #2 tee is to the right.
Hole #2: 258 feet, par 3
Comments: a gradually uphill dogleg right. The fairway is rather generous, but several trees guard the basket from multiple angles. Give it a good throw and hope you have a clear putt. #3 tee is behind the basket.
Hole #3: 410 feet, par 4
Comments: The first long hole is a gradual dogleg left that plays down and up across a shallow ravine. The fairway is generous, and you don't really have to negotiate the dogleg until you get within 100 feet of the basket. Thus, big arms have a real advantage on this hole. The park boundary is to the left if you miss way left. Let it fly and try for an eagle! #4 tee is to the right.
Hole #4: 210 feet, par 3
Comments: Short and slightly downhill, this hole is mostly open until you get to the basket, but there are many trees near the basket including one directly in front of the basket. The easiest idea is to leave your tee shot to the right: the area around the basket has a left-to-right cross slope, plus there is more room to the right of the basket. Yet too far right will be stymied by more trees. The variety on this course really starts to show on this hole: the big arm was very helpful on the previous hole, but it provides no help here. #5 tee is downhill to the right.
Hole #5: 205 feet, par 3
Comments: This hole plays across a small stream and through a light smattering of trees, but the trees are strategically placed to create a tight fairway. 2 lines are possible: a fairly straight right line and a left line that requires a left-to-right disc flight. Both lines are rather tight. You will need to pick a line and execute an accurate throw to make birdie even though this hole is short. #6 tee is to the left.
Hole #6: 303 feet, par 3
Comments: The next 4 holes play back and forth across a depression in spaghetti fashion, and they are rather close together. This hole is a gradual dogleg left. Many trees are in play, and the low ceiling created by the overhanging branches could be a factor on a hole this long. Try to get through the first gap 125 feet from the tee with a slight right-to-left throw and hope you miss the remaining trees. #7 tee is to the left.
Hole #7: 230 feet, par 3
Comments: flat, short, and straight with 1 small tree directly between the tee and basket. If you get around that tree, birdie should be yours. #8 tee is to the right.
Hole #8: 207 feet, par 3
Comments: gradually uphill, you want aim at the big pine tree straight ahead and work your disc slightly left, going over a couple of small trees about 100 feet from the tee. This hole will become much harder when those small trees get bigger. #9 tee is to the left.
Hole #9: 240 feet, par 3
Comments: straight but tighter than the previous holes, plenty of trees guard either side of the fairway by the second half of the hole. Keep your disc flying straight! #10 tee is to the left, behind #8 tee.
Hole #10: 258 feet, par 3
Comments: Easily the tightest hole so far, this hole plays gradually uphill with a wetland on the left. There are many trees on the shore of the wetland, which is the direct line to the basket. The wetland is the most open part of the hole, so one strategy is to start your disc over the wetland and work it back to the right. Such a strategy is not without risk: a bad ricochet off of a tree will send your disc back into the wetland. But the left line gives you the widest line to get a tee shot close to the basket. The other options are through the trees or right of the main cluster of trees, and both of those options are very tight. #11 tee is to the right.
Hole #11: 374 feet, par 4
Comments: Short for a par 4, this hole plays down and up across a small stream with a tight fairway. The stream is about 200 feet from the tee, so you have to decide if you want to try to clear it with your tee shot. The woods around the stream are the densest yet, and the hill going up to the basket is the steepest on the course. This is a great risk/reward hole, possibly my favorite on this course. #12 tee is behind the basket and to the right.
Hole #12: 390/300 feet, par 4
Comments: the most downhill hole on this course. A mando protects the baseball field to the right, but the preferred line is the straight "tunnel" through the trees on the left. The trick shot artist might try a roller throw on this hole, but the ceiling is high enough that such a trick is not really necessary. There is dense woods on either side of the tunnel, easily as dense as the previous hole. There are also plenty of trees near the basket, so getting your tee shot further down the fairway is definitely an advantage. #13 tee is to the right.
Hole #13: 305 feet, par 3
Comments: The next 2 holes play back and forth along opposite sides of a small stream. The area on this side of the stream has a low ceiling, plus there is a large tree about 40 feet directly in front of the basket. A right-to-left disc flight gives you more room to work with, but you still have to be careful how aggressive you get: a small but heavily-wooded gully sits just past the basket, and the small hill to the right can kick your disc left into the stream. This is the second hardest par 3 on this course, second only to.... #14 tee is to the left.
Hole #14: 305 feet, par 3
Comments: similar to the previous hole, but now you don't have the open area to the right. In fact, there is a double mando: one to protect #15 fairway to the right and another to protect #13 fairway to the left. Thus, your only option is to attempt a straight throw up a tight fairway. More trees guard the basket, and the park boundary is just beyond the basket. 3 is a good score on this hole. #15 tee is to the right.
Hole #15: 540 feet, par 4
Comments: The longest hole on this course, but the fairway is the widest on this course. The park boundary is just left of the basket, so don't miss left. This hole is much easier to birdie than either of the previous 2. #16 tee is to the right.
Hole #16: 220/135 feet, par 3
Comments: a slight dogleg left with dense woods inside the dogleg. The shortness of this hole allows you to challenge the trees: even if you end up in the woods, you can still scramble for par. #17 tee is to the left beside the stream.
Hole #17: 215 feet, par 3
Comments: short but very exciting hole. The direct line encounters a large number of trees, plus the stream that starts to the right cuts across the fairway about 50 feet in front of the basket. The widest line actually starts across the stream to the right and then curves your disc back in to the left. The direct line is very tight, possibly unworkably tight. There is a lot to think about on this hole. #18 tee is behind the basket.
Hole #18: 295 feet, par 3
Comments: The closing hole plays between the park road on the right and the park's boundary fence on the left. The fairway is straight and reasonably wide; some large trees protect the road on the right. The park's south boundary is just beyond the basket, so don't get too aggressive. This hole feels forced and wedged-in, and it is not one of this course's better holes. The parking lot is several hundred feet to the right, uphill and past the playground.
