Best Courses between Richmond, VA & Charlotte, NC

[ellswrth]

I'll be traveling between Richmond and Charlotte and have time to stop and play one or two courses along the way. Based on reviews on dgcoursereview.com it looks like Bryan Park in Richmond is good.

Which of these is worth a stop? (I filtered the courses on my route by 18 holes or more and 3.5 stars or better)


Valley Springs Park, Durham, NC
UNC DGC, Chapel Hill, NC
Cedarock Park, Burlington, NC
Johnson Street Park, High Point NC
Old Plank Road DGC, Thomasville, NC 27360

I'm already planning to play Renaissance, Hornet's Nest, Rock Hill and maybe Brackett's Bluff when I get to the Charlotte area.

Cedarock Park in Burlington is highly recommended. Two side-by-side courses in a beautiful, historic park. The Cedarock course plays in the open with rolling hills while the Wellspring course is short and technical through the woods.

Don't forget to play Reedy Creek in Charlotte as well. A real fun shorter course.

I've heard nothing but great things about Burlington, NC.

High Point, NC is a pretty cool course as well.

The Wellspring course is a pitch ‘n’ putt, but a really nice one. I enjoyed all the elevation changes, and all the pretty bridges over the dry stream beds. The thing I love at this course though is when you walk out of the woods on hole#16 and gaze down from the long tee pad of hole seventeen. What an impressive sight: At 720 feet downhill, and with a picturesque pond on the right-hand side, this is hands-down one the prettiest disc golf holes I’ve ever seen. Throwing a long drive under three large mature trees and then an accurate upshot, scoring a birdie 3 on this true pro par four is quite a joy! :cool:

^^^ What Jeff said!

Wellspring #17 is my favorite hole in the Tar Heel state! :D

Johnson St. Home course of two multi-time Jr World champions Short, long and Gold Tee pads.

UNC - one of the best courses any where.

Cedar rock two courses. one open. one wooded. both must play courses.

Valley Springs Andrew and I only play it in tournaments. if we are in the area we play UNC.

OPR - Private course. favors leftys or right hand side arm. very tight. heavy woods. very technical course.

hope this helps. I you would like a guide for Johnson st. (Jsp) pm me.

I've only played two---Johnson St. & Cedar Rock, both worthwhile---so can't help finding the best course. However, in Burlington you can get in 2 courses with only 1 stop, if that's of any value. They are next to each other in the same park, and the courses are completely different from each other.

About an hour West of Richmond is Walnut Creek Park in Charlottesville. Not sure if you're headed South on 95 or West on 64, but Walnut Creek is 15-20 mins off of 64. I'll leave my home course bias aside, but point out that it has received favorable reviews on dgcoursereview. Also, we just had our annual tournament and the course is in great shape.

As for the other courses you mentioned, I haven't played many, but the two-fer in Burlington is fun, and Charlotte has TONS of great options.

Enjoy!

Zebulon, NC if it's not too far out of your way would definitely be on my list.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna try to hit Zebulon & the two courses Burlington. I'm expecting cool, but not freezing temperatures around the second week of November. Sound accurate?
