By far the most complete and satisfying woods course in Virginia. CRDGC has elevation, water (pond hazard and namesake creek hazards), a few short but tight holes, holes where accuracy rewards and power can punish. Top notch baskets (Discatcher Pro) and pads. All pads are all uniform 5x12 cement and the surface is nicely finished for traction. Fairways and putting areas are well drained after rains. The 80-100' tree canopy easily takes 10 or more degrees off a hot day.
Fair yet challenging layouts that demand a near 1000 rated round for par. Shot diversity on this course is amazing. There is only one true hyzer bomb shot (hole 15 off the pad), otherwise the shots are mixed: left, right, straight, doglegs, up, down, short, long, water carry, and roll aways around putting circles. Bring your complete game because every type of shot can be useful here: forehands, backhands, tomahawks, thumbers, rollers, etc. Out out of bounds is only governed by open water (hole #2) and the namesake creek on several holes (i.e., Clark’s Run) 8, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. If you get off the fairway too far, it’s its own punishment. Discing down for control can lead to more scoring opportunities, but getting greedy with high speed discs can be punishing.
Navigation is pretty clear cut with the exception of the transition from Hole 16 to hole 17. However, if you look for the white arrows mounted to the trees, you shouldn’t have any problem navigating from basket to next tee. Walking trails are pretty clear as to which way to go. Foot bridges where you need them to navigate across creeks when necessary. Benches or seating on most holes. Bathroom on the property just a short walk from the #1 tee pad.
A large brown kiosk in the parking area has a course open/closed sign, information and the #1 tee pad is found just past it to the left. If you aren’t a member of the local club (LoCo Disc Golf Club), you are expected to donate $5/day to play. A blue donation box is mounted to the kiosk. A white lost and found return box is on the back side of the kiosk (nice).
New alternate tee locations, currently turf, can be found on holes 3, 4, 10, 15, and 16.
The course will have you always coming back for more.
