I think they are 1-2 weeks away from completion, but there will be a 9 hole course on campus right near the lake. Wahoo. I love living on Centennial Campus!!!

sweet, now i know where to find a new weed source

8/24/2009 11:24:07 AM

yo Douce Bag,

where did you hear this glorious news? And why just 9?

8/24/2009 11:39:10 AM

nice- another place close to home to play other than kaplan (and hopefully this one won't be full of high school douchebags who just go out there for an excuse to smoke cigarettes and *sssshh* don't tell anyone I am saying this - weeeeed! )

Nobody smokes weed on disc golf courses. It's an urban legend.

8/24/2009 11:51:25 AM

woo! Disc Golf within walking distance! I approve this message.

8/24/2009 11:52:22 AM

^^I could honestly care less what anyone does out there... I just don't like the groups of like 20 people playing a single hole just tossing a frisbee around, dicking around, and wasting everyone elses time

8/24/2009 12:00:07 PM

I pretty much don't play Kentwood anymore because it's just too crowded. Those huge groups are terrible and most times they won't let you play through.

Too many stoned college kids! Get off my lawn!!

8/24/2009 12:02:27 PM

that one off of millbrook is ok

Castle Hayne's is nice as hell, but i lost a disc there

8/24/2009 12:03:27 PM

is there a website up or any other way to find out when it actually opens?

I played the UNC course yesterday afternoon. Shot even. Was -1 going into the last hole, which I bogied.

8/24/2009 12:08:51 PM

awesome. thanks!

and

^^^maybe

8/24/2009 12:12:46 PM

I saw the holes when i took my dog swimming in Lake Raleigh. I get NCSU Centennial Partnership emails since I'm a resident living on Centennial Campus. It was in that e-mail.

8/24/2009 12:55:36 PM

^you mind sharing the part of the email about the new disc golf course?

from Campus Rec:

"Additionally, Centennial Campus is building a 9 hole disc golf course that is anticipated to open this fall!"

booooo, we need 18 holes!

[Edited on August 24, 2009 at 12:58 PM. Reason : !]

8/24/2009 12:57:30 PM

played some course in hickory once (Glenn C. Hilton Memorial Park?). it was pretty freaking tough, not helped by the fact that i suck at disc golf. i think we called it quits after 9

8/24/2009 1:02:49 PM

^then you missed the best hole on the course...

18 @ the Hickory course (Hilton) is one of the most scenic holes in the state.



that pic doesn't do it justice


[Edited on August 24, 2009 at 1:06 PM. Reason : pic]

8/24/2009 1:03:57 PM

you fucking hippies and your damn disc golf....

8/24/2009 1:06:47 PM

^^hole ten at the ashe county course puts that piss ant hole to shame...no pics for proof, so your statement still stands

[Edited on August 24, 2009 at 1:29 PM. Reason : d]

8/24/2009 1:28:30 PM

so when you were with your dog the baskets were already in?

i am actually moving soon so i would REALLY like to play this before i leave....might have to sneak over one night even if it isn't open so long as there are baskets in place...

8/24/2009 1:35:26 PM

^^there are certainly more scenic holes (8 @ Buckhorn, anyone?), I was just saying that 18 is one of the more scenic holes in the state.

^I'd be happy to show you around one of these days

8/24/2009 1:44:40 PM

^^^ the big downhill at Ashe is #9, i think that's what you mean.

but, 18 at hickory is bad ass, something about tossing over that holler makes it seem way longer than it really plays. only played it once, but parked it i think.

You are right, it is #9....Yeah, i remember hole 18 at that course...but i beleive it was me who parked it right near the pin....you couldnt make it there

8/24/2009 7:12:45 PM

This is kind of awesome. Too bad it's just 9

8/24/2009 7:23:55 PM

have you played middle creek yet?

8/24/2009 7:26:38 PM

personally i love middle creek. all the right turns really favor my throw and so i feel like a rock star

8/25/2009 11:51:50 AM

disc golf: when hackey sack doesn't cut it anymore

8/25/2009 1:19:08 PM

Middle Creek is my jam. I went out there and helped clear fairways before the course was officially opened so I have a special place in my heart for that course. They are in the process right now of changing hole 1 and adding concrete teeboxes to all the holes.

8/25/2009 1:40:51 PM

yeah i would say nice teepads are the only thing truely missing out there.

the hole (9?) where the pin is up on the giant steep dirt mound is hilareous with a lot of moderately skilled people. i have never seen discs roll quite so far with so much cussing.

8/25/2009 2:00:25 PM

^9 is the worst for roll-offs. If you don't get it in the basket or resting nicely on the ridge, that fucker will roll for days.

I'm still waiting to get a 2 on that hole. I usually have a decent drive that lands at the base of the hill, but can't seem to close the putt. But then again, my putting is horrible.

8/25/2009 2:02:14 PM

yeah the only roll i have ever had worse than that is at the course in Blacksburg...

hole 16 (i believe) runs along the top of a ridge. my drive went a little sideways and hit the edge of the ridge...i walked over just in time to see it wagon wheel the ENTIRE way to the bottom through an insane amount of obstacles. had to have been a solid 300-400ft roll. my dad felt so bad for me he screamed, "MULLIGAN!" and went running down the hill to retrieve it for me

8/25/2009 2:05:39 PM

i too live on centennial, neato

8/25/2009 2:07:51 PM

what a good dad, treating his daughter like prom queen and all.^^

8/25/2009 2:19:14 PM

eh usually he just laughs at me, but it was around christmas so i guess he was feeling nice

8/25/2009 2:31:09 PM

he did the right thing by laughing too

8/25/2009 2:35:30 PM

all the best disc golfers were brought up by disc golfing parents.

I bet marlndarln could kick my ass in disc golf.

8/25/2009 2:41:34 PM

Disc golf sucks, but I guess it gives you something to do on centennial campus.

8/25/2009 2:44:33 PM

ha actually we did it backwards...i got into it and then showed my 60 yr old dad

being retired and having lots of free time he decided he was going to get awesome (built his own course in the yard) at it and kick my ass (which he did)

of course i believe he might have had a predisposition toward disc golf being a long time drinker/toker/hippie

^^oh and i don't know about that...you sound like you have got your game together

[Edited on August 25, 2009 at 2:46 PM. Reason : ]

8/25/2009 2:46:16 PM

well, after all, disc golf is a lifelong sport and if you're an ex-hippy, it might even appeal to you more!

now I'm jealous that your dad has a course in his backyard. I want one!

[Edited on August 25, 2009 at 2:53 PM. Reason : or current hippy for that matter...]

8/25/2009 2:52:39 PM

anyone know who designed it? or is designing it?

8/25/2009 3:05:51 PM

no clue. yesterday was the first I'd heard of it.

no one seems to know much on the rdg message boards either.
