Course Description
One of the more challenging courses in South Carolina, geared toward
Pro & Advanced players, with a wide variety of open, tight, elevation, and O.B.
SSA (1000-rated round) is around 59 on the diamond layout.
(We do not recommend this
course to beginners, or those who can't throw a minimum of 220 feet with some degree of
accuracy, as you may lose discs or otherwise find it frustrating. Though
you're still welcome to try.)
We've striven for maximum variety---long open shots, tight wooded
shots; up, down, & level; balanced RH & LH, with danger on almost every hole,
and no two holes alike.
We currently have two overlapping layouts. They are:
DIAMOND---18 holes, 7310', par 61. Includes two holes over 700',
with plenty of O.B. to deal with.
QUARTZ---18 holes, 5350', par 57. Still very challenging with
lots of O.B.
Descriptions are from righthanded player, throwing backhanded.
Distances are deceiving, as most holes have large elevation changes.

Air it out! Drive off a
huge hill through power line fairway, landing (hopefully) 400-500' away
(bottom of hill is 400'; deep creek starts at about 550'). Then,
dogleg through gap into woods to basket, with creek running behind it, 580'
total.

325' downhill, with anhyzer to
right at end, with creek behind green to grab any shots that don't hold
their turns. There is also a risky but fun hyzer option, with
thick rough if you miss.

242' tight wooded shot.
Tee off down tunnel, over 3 bends in creek. At about 200', fairway bends
right for last 50', with basket sitting inside bend in creek. Lots of
trees, lots of O.B. to kick off them into, but at least it's level (rare on
this course).

500', uphill, tough
par-4. Drive straight up 160', dogleg left, another 300' down
well-defined fairway, and through gap in trees, into open
area, with basket on an open hilltop exposed to
the ever-present winds.

Tightly defined, winding, 629' par-4. Slight uphill drive through archway and
narrow fairway to wider landing area 250-300' away; dogleg right, and level,
another 250', then dogleg left, slightly uphill, another 150' or so.

295', slightly uphill.
Tee off raised teepad, through a fairway defined by a few large trees, then
out over a open hillside with basket located on a cut lawn. Takes long
straight drive with left fade at end; hill falls to right so, if you flip
it, no telling how far down you'll sail. |

A very tough 236', driving up steep hill across 170' of
open space, to hit a tight window in a line of woods. If you hit it
well, you'll continue about 50' up a tunnel, then fall left to a basket
sitting on a steep slope, with a long drop behind it and trees guarding both
sides. |

| 167', tight wooded fairway,
teeing from next to creek and angling up a steep slope through large
hardwoods, including passing (hopefully) a 13-'circumference beech tree.
Basket sits about 30' above creek with a steep drop---almost a cliff---on
left. Very cool. |

Straight down shot, 281'---a
dive-bomb ace-run!---with the basket in a little patch of woods, with an O.B.
creek in front of the green and O.B. road looping around to form a virtual
island green.

Level, slight anhyzer drive
down fairway with towering pines on right and dangerous hillside on left.
(After all the hills, you'll appreciate the level fairway). At end,
fairway doglegs right to hanging basket located just across perilously-close O.B. creek, guarded by
creek if you're short, O.B. fence if you're long left, and, if you're long
right, two huge trees to putt around with creek now behind the basket.
About 325' total, with danger all about.

[QUARTZ LAYOUT] Tee off
uphill and under archway, then hard hyzer left to basket on top edge of
hill. Only 223', but you end up with a lot of pucker-putts from above
the basket. |

then up tight peninsula with OB on either side to basket with OB beyond. |

[DIAMOND LAYOUT] In the

under archway and land a little beyond 14A basket, then LONG second shot.

235' "birdie" hole drives
uphill, bends right, then downhill to basket, set with a drop-off directly
behind it. A respite in a touch finishing stretch.

basket. Photos to come.

[QUARTZ LAYOUT] 295' throw off the dam, across
the pond, onto an "island" hole on one shore, with a huge dead tree guarding
the lefty hyzer. Rather intimidating. You must carry 250' of O.B.
on a straight line to the basket; somewhat less if you bail out to the
right. O.B. water to the left, O.B. road to the right, go to
still-long Intermediate Tee for drop zone.

across pond another 300' or so to basket. 608' total.

From there, up a defined fairway with 2 interfering trees. 465' total.

[QUARTZ LAYOUT] 272' shot along top edge of
hill to basket sitting at top of big open slope. Shots that drift or
hyzer left may go way down the hill....or, if errant enough, into pond.
Mando (must go left of cedar tree) makes it tricky; wind makes it trickier).

A great
finishing hole, calling for a level drive down a well-defined fairway for first 200', through a gap, into
an open
landing area 180' long (but hill falls to left; too much hyzer and you could sail down
hill). From the landing area, you must choose from 3 windows (straight, hyzer, or anhyzer),
then cross a deep quarry (O.B.) to basket location on other side,
perched atop a large, steep mound on the edge of O.B. Total
length 572' on the Diamond layout, 492' on the Quartz layout, through the tight straight gap, longer if you go around.

| Some holes were part of the
course but are no longer with us....some of which were just temporary,
filling in as we built. Here's a few memories. |

Plans to create more new holes and
have two overlapping 18 hole layouts, of different challenge levels, with only a
couple of shared holes. When? Depends on what volunteer labor we
get!
