Course Reviews
This is a beautiful campus, and well worth the walk. However, the course is very frustrating!!! The tees are unmarked, as are most of the baskets. I frequently found myself 500 feet down the fairway, and I still couldn’t find the basket. Even with a good course map, it was not worth the frustration. The baskets on the gold course are way ridiculously long. I never quit a course, but I quit this course after hole 12.
another great course in SC...look out for babes on the fairway when the weather is nice in the spring....there is also a couple of huge water hazards i play at this one...most of the time there is someone out there dredging the lake and pulling out discs...can't believe the US championships are there every year....a must play if in the area...
Winthrop Recreational is the first course I ever played on, the course that taught me to love this sport!
It is an excellent course. It is challenging enough for the pro's and fun enough to keep beginners interested and motivated to work hard at the game.
I recommend this course for everyone!

Winthrop University DGC! Wow! Of course, there's not many things I can say about this course that hasn't already been said, but I will give it a try. So when I played the course, I didn't get to play the full USDGC layout, although I will make it back to play this layout at some point. I played the Lakefront layout which is much better suited for amature disc golfers like myself. However, in this layout, several of the holes are the same, or shortened versions, of what you see during the USDGC so we still got to see a ton of the prestigious design. The layout of this course has a great mix of open and wooded areas and of course some outstanding elevation changes. This particular layout had a mix of concrete tees and turf tees which can be tricky alternating between, but honestly not that big of a deal. From beautiful open fairways, to tight wooded lines and tricky water holes, this course has it all. If you are anywhere near the area, this is a must play course! Give the Lakefront layout a try if you are looking for a more casual disc golfer type course and if you really want to test your disc golf game, take on the USDGC layout! Either way, you are going to have a blast! If you want to see the Lakefront layout on video, please consider checking out these videos that I filmed there:
