"Great course. First time playing a mountain course. Though it was challenging, it was such a fun and beautiful course. I hope to be able to come back and play the whole course next time. "

"Amazing course! Will require everything you've got. Played in the wind and it made an already difficult course pretty dang hard. Worth playing just for the beautiful views and hike as you play. Definitely want to come back on a good summer day."

"Hard af but a blast to play"

"Great technical course. Very scenic. Lots of elevation changes throughout the course. The course Winds through the woods and Christmas tree farm."

"Incredible variety of holes and routes. Well worth the $10 suggested fee. The views were delightful, and the holes are laid out so that you don't have long hikes between them. The owners were very friendly, and they have some cool tshirts for sale. "

"The owners are super nice and helpful,they even helped me find 2 discs I couldn’t find. Very impressed!"

"The best DG course I’ve played in NC. Thank you to the owner for having the course trail lines blown out for ease of guidance and the water and snacks at the top were the chef’s kiss!! Thank you!!!!!!"

"Great design and use of the mountain. A lot of hours have been put in to this amazing gem of a disc golf course! Every hole is unique and has picturesque qualities! Bring your A game and have a spotter when needed! "

"This is a bucket list course. Very unique layout and tons of elevation. Some holes look like there's a hill in the fairway but when you walk up to it you see a 30 ft cliff drop. Be careful. The dog will bark but don't fear. "

"Amazing in the fall time!"

"Beautiful, mostly wooded technical course, but fair. Many awesome views from pads, especially in the fall! "

"This course was amazing. I have been playing since the 80s and frequently carry disc's when I travel. I have played a lot of courses over the years and this is my new favorite There has been a tremendous amount of work put into building this course. The views are amazing. This will become a definite stop for me whenever I am in the area"

"The best disc golf I've played to date. We played all 30 holes and I'm so glad we did. Do not miss this course. Had a wonderful time talking with the course creators, great people."

"This is one of the premier courses I have ever visited. Challenging holes with tough lines but fair rough. The owners are very nice and love to meet the guests and see them having a good time. Do the full Monty, don’t skip any holes!!!"

"Most scenic course in NC. Wild variety of shots,. Lefty, righty, uphill, downhill. Used most of the bag. So much fun..:! Hosts are amazing. Provided snacks and water. "

"This course is absolutely insane. Especially if you’re doing the 30 holes it’s a hell of a hike. Definitely the craziest and coolest course I have ever played. A lot of the holes are tight with lots of trees and pretty difficult but it’s a beautiful property. Will definitely be back!"

"This is the only course I’ve taken the time to rate, the place is amazing. Would recommend to anybody visiting the NC mountains to please please check this place out! It will be well worth it!!! "

"Well maintained, super lovely and scenic "

"Such a gorgeous course! The rough can be a little thick, but the lines are good and varying distances. Also, great place to practice death putts!"

"Must play"

"Super challenging but fun! Owner is super nice!"

"A masterpiece."

"Amazing really tight but, a fun course. With cool basket locations."

"Owner is amazing, and I used every disc in my bag (which is a rare feat). 5* experience for sure"

"One of the most fun and creative courses I’ve ever played. A lot of technical woods golf with some of the scariest putts I’ve ever seen with a few holes giving you a chance to stretch your arm out! You will use every disc and shot in your bag!"

"This just seems like what a disc golf course is supposed to be. It’s a great hike with beautiful scenery and a really run course!"

"Incredible course! Can’t wait to bring my friends!"

"OG course - Beautiful scenery, wonderfully devilish course with a lot of elevation changes and elevated baskets. Technical, fun, and a good, solid workout. Want to come back and play the Full Monty. Labor of love of the owners who are absolutely delightful. "

"One last voice is calling you and I guess it’s time you go… This course won’t remember your name but you sure will remember hers. "

"By far the most beautiful course that I have ever been too. It is a tight technical course, but there are plenty of viable lines. The course is very clearly deliberately designed to fully show the beauty of the land that it is on. It will take you on a magical journey that is challenging, but what journey is worth having if it’s not challenging. This course is worth making a trip too, and should be the course you play next if you are local or in the area."

"Absolutely beautiful mountain course, gorgeous scenery. Excellent course design, not your typical "all straight up, all straight down" mountain holes. Tough, but accessable fairways, with very cool pin locations. You can tell thousands of man-hours have been put into this course with beautiful hand-crafted wooden and stone teepads, benches, etc. throughout the course. Rich and Jeri are great people and have put together an incredible layout. Can't wait to get back to it! "

"Hands down the coolest course I’ve played. Layout was outstanding, challenging lines on every hole, mostly wooded, and rock features were beautiful. A definite must play for disc golfers."

"As someone who lives both hiking, and disc golf, this is a wonderful course! Definitely plan on spending the day!! "

"The course is beautiful! The owner came out and brought us water throughout the course. Very nice guy and he keeps up a nice course. A lot of technical shots on this course and also a couple open shots as well. Definitely a great option if you’re in the area."

"Fantastic! Beautiful! Difficult! I recommend water and long socks for poison ivy. I also suggest a spotter down hole to help speed up the round. "

"Superb and difficult course. Beautiful property. Hard not to take pictures on every hole. Will be back for sure. "

"Very nice private course. Technical woods golf with a lot of elevation. Prepare for round like you would for a hike."

"Beautiful property, well worth the drive out from Charlotte. Unique terrain coupled with tight wooded lines. Very well maintained, but you will need long pants to venture off the fairways."

"Beautiful property and fantastic disc golf. Definitely a must play if able to make the drive. Surrounded by a Christmas tree farm with some shots even crossing! Property owners were fantastic. We will be back!"

"Absolutely wonderful "

"Spectacular disc golf in an amazing environment! No redundancy with any holes and each hole provide a unique tee shot and catcher placement is outstanding. This course should be on every experienced players wish list but might just make a beginner hate disc golf forever ;) Definitely come prepared with plenty of hydration and snacks because you'll definitely need them!!!"

"Started playing golf in '92. This is, by far, the most epic and amazing wooded course I've ever played in my life. I cannot describe how epic it is! Between this course and North cove, North Carolina has true gems on the disc golf scene. I cannot recommend this enough! Granted, some permanent tee pads would be nice and some of the baskets could use a little work, but that pales in comparison to how beautiful the course is. The pin placements are out of this world!"

"A very beautiful course. Probably the best I've ever played. Bring your hiking boots."

"Absolutely a destination course. This is the coolest property I have ever had the pleasure of playing disc golf at. Short pins keep it interesting for beginners and long tees keep things challenging for more advanced players. The only con, as some others have mentioned, is the tee boxes but the overall experience makes it hard to even reduce the rating down from a 5 star. A fairy tale dream course. I’m already planning my excuse to be back in the area so I can play it again. Thanks Rich! "

"Most beautiful course I’ve ever played, gorgeous boulders everywhere with some extremely fun holes and nicest hosts ever. Planning to come back at least quarterly to see the seasons and support some awesome folks who’ve created a true gem of a course. Can’t wait to play all 30 holes next time!"

"This is the most beautiful course in Western North Carolina. Absolutely dazzling property with rocks and boulders with some of the most gorgeous hole placements in the world. Gracious and wonderful hosts who have created a true gem. Bit of a drive from Asheville, but worth every mile."

"Simply amazing. Every shot shape and throw type required, (at least when playing the full Monty) - epic views and unique features on nearly every hole make this a destination course for me. Just be sure to pack lots of snacks and water in your bag, it’ll be a long round and your legs will get quite a workout. "

"Amazing course with challenging holes. If you’re looking to go hiking as well, this is also the place!"

"Uniquely challenging. A must visit"

"Great course! Love the different lines and the owners. Great supporters of college disc golf!!"

"A Beautiful Disc Golf Course on a Mountain! "

"Do what you have to do to play this course. Make the drive, book the flight, whatever. It's a Southern Appalachian disc golf paradise run by the kindest folks you'll ever meet. Incredible views from our campsite, which was right on the course. Rolled out our tents and had the D and E holes at our doorstep, a gorgeous set of throws from craggy outcrops across verdant fields of Christmas trees."

"This course was one of the best I’ll ever play. Top of the line views, distances, and challenges. The tee boxes were great and the owners were incredible. Great basket locations and pitches. "

"Incredible experience and worth going out of your way if you are anywhere in the area. The owners were so welcoming and helped to explain the course. Good combination of holes with well wooded technical short holes and some open downhill long holes. Overall an incredible experience and on our groups top 5 favorite courses hands down! "

"Easily one of the best courses I have ever played. A great hike and fun disc golf all in one! The people who own this course are amazing too, really appreciated the hospitality. This is a must play course in NC!"

"Hard to accurately put into words how amazing this course is. Every hole is unique and the definition of wooded disc golf. Simply a must play, worth the drive from wherever you live."

"Absolutely love this course and the people who run it!"

"This course is amazing!!"

"My new favorite course. "

"This beautiful course in the mountains of North Carolina is a must play and #1 in the State for me. It is heavily wooded yet fair and uses the natural elevation along with the granite outcrops and cliffs to make it a one of a kind and unique place. Rich and company are wonderful hosts and cannot wait to return. "

"Absolutely Such an awesome experience if you’re within a few hours drive, highly recommend. Challenging ups and downs with baskets on boulders and edges of cliffs. Makes it quite a little trek for the average person just to simply navigate the property. I love a good challenge when playing disc golf. This definitely provides a good layout with clear lines.. getting off the path can be hard to recover, but the obvious fairways are maintained and wide. May-October mostly due to the cold weather. "

"Amazing course to play. Put it on your bucket list. Beware that lots of leaves means you’ll probably lose a disc. Owner is super nice - it’s like the bed & breakfast approach to disc golf."

"Risk and Rewards a plenty. "

"This course has come a long way since I first played it 8 years ago. Rich and his wife are always a pleasure to be around and you can tell they pour they’re heart and soul into the course. "

"Amazing place!! Rich has created a truly unique disc golf experience!!"

"I had an absolutely amazing time at Sugaree. I’ll make a better review this weekend. "

"I still haven't shut up about this completely amazing property and course. It's a must play in my book and well worth the almost 3hr drive."

"An amazing piece of property with a course that every disc golfer should have on their bucket list. "

"The baskets and teepads aren't the best out there, and I still can't help but rate Sugaree 5 stars. Why? The thing is, when you're out there playing you don't care about the baskets or tees. It's a stunningly beautiful property. The holes are creative, fun, and challenging. This is a labor of love you need to experience (/support). It also helps that the owners are extremely kind and welcoming. Do yourself a favor and prepare for a day of hiking with your discs and head to Sugaree ASAP"

"Incredible course, played here twice on vacation. Not for the faint of heart, really technical wooded course with plenty of distance and LOTS of elevation change. It’s very obvious how much time and care have gone into this course."

"2nd time here and it’s left me speechless again. "

"If you are reading this, just go here. One of the best courses I’ve ever played. Challenging both physically and with lines. Absolutely gorgeous environment. Rich is friendly and helpful. If you’re in the area, it’s a can’t miss course."

"Absolutely a blast!! Technical lines with great elevation changes, while it may still be a little primitive as far as tee pads and signage the holes make up for it. Amazing rock formations and a Christmas tree farm create such a fun landscape to lay disc golf in. The hosts are are super nice and helpful, they even have on site camping! I recommend you check this place out!"

"What a true disc golf gem. You can really feel the love put into Sugaree. It’s a must for anyone in WNC."

"Owner is great and friendly. Worth it. "

"Wow, what a fun course. Challenging and really well designed. I recommend anyone to come out here!!"

"I do not know that a more photogenic course exists. Epic pin placements. Fanciful teeing locations and fairways that make you wish you could throw purely. I was heading home from Worlds and decided to check it out. Boy was I glad I did. I definitely was not prepped for all the elevation even after a week of Worlds, but my camera tried to capture the beauty until it died. Seriously. This is a bucket list course to end all bucket list courses. You don't need a ridiculous arm to have fun. "

"I’ve played some of the best courses in the United States and this place tops every single one. Beautiful views. Well groomed course. Creative basket placement. Signs are as good as you need them to be. Owners are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. This is the best course in the USA hands down. "

"This course is hands down the most scenic, technical and well designed in North Carolina. Sugaree is truly a special place"

"Truly an adventurous course with challenging terrain. A few blind corners around rocks and boulders. Not a forgiving course for beginners, choose your line and stick with it. Accuracy is the key. Make the trip and experience this course for yourself. You wont regret it. Several different layouts you can choose from."

"Beautiful course all around! "

"Best private course in the country!!"

"This is one of my Top 3 Favorite courses of the 880+ courses that I have reviewed!! The rock formations and basket placements are mind boggling. This course has the most incredible terrain and beauty in all of North Carolina! And the owners are super nice!"

"Great course! Absolutely one of my all time favorite courses. The amount of grooming and maintenance really shows on this super unique course. "

"This is course is legendary! You will remember the huge boulders, views, rock ledges and beauty of this course your entire lifetime. "

"Awesome, challenging course full of elevation change and natural beauty. The owners are super welcoming…well worth the drive from Charlotte."

"The BEST course you will ever hope to play. "

"Legendary course of WNC. Played on a July Thursday morning and had the whole course to myself. Owner was outside to greet me and give me a rundown. Good mix of short and long holes"

"This was the sickest course I’ve ever seen. Beautiful course very well taken care of very well marked really enjoyed it."

"This challenging course is a must play. Really well mapped, scenic location, challenging pins placed atop rocky cliffs, unique, diverse lines to play with on each hole. What more could you ask out of a course? It’s also quite open, and extremely well groomed, despite being primarily in the woods. Worth a visit even just for the natural elements of the course which include an array of colorful mushrooms, gorgeous foliage, and even a couple of wild orchids. Do yourself a favor and check it out!"

"Absolutely gorgeous course!! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us! "

"Absolutely beautiful property and course! Challenging, scenic, and a large variety of shots. Highly recommend! "

"Course is extremely fun and challenging, Definitely bring boots and long pants, since it's a hike in itself. Owner is very welcoming, left cold soda at a rest area on hole 17. We were extremely impressed on how he maintained the course himself."

"Great Course. Very Challenging, very easy to lose a disc. But scenic course with a good mixture of forehand and backhand holes. Owner is very friendly, even helped us look for a disc. "

"Amazing course in the mountain forest. Very well maintained. Several awesome holes with tee box up high allowing you to grip and rip! Loved it and will be back. Very much worth the $10 donation. "

"Phenomenal course. Death putts and roller risk everywhere. So much fun. Bring your brightest discs"

"Amazing elevated technical course! Owners extremely friendly. Will definitely be back to visit this gem and try some different layouts! 6⭐️"

"This is one of the best mountain golf courses you can play. Do yourself a favor and take the trip here"

"Unbelievable what they have built out here. Keep your eyes peeled as it is easy to lose a disc. Props to the owners I dont know how they maintain a literal mountain!"

"I don’t know how anyone can rate this course less than 5 stars . It was incredible! The owners were awesome, the land was beautiful and the basket placements were mind boggling. Definitely will be playing again. Do not bring a cart it will be useless. This course is a HIKE, if your not prepared you will get winded quickly. Last but not least make sure you have bug spray, the flies are ruthless. "

"Truly amazing! Unique course that meanders through tons of cool rock outcroppings that the owner used to his advantage when creating the fairways and greens. Homemade feel but well-designed. Easy navigation with green arrows. Tough but fair. "

"This place is seriously incredible. "

"One of the most beautiful and unique courses I've had the good fortune of playing. Challenging holes and fantastic hosts. A must-play if you get the opportunity!"

" Love this course. The owners/operators are the best. Challenging for us flat lander michiganders. Will stop here every time I’m in the area. So worth the suggested $10 rate. "

"Best course within 200miles. Owners are the best ppl an host. Played the first sanctioned event. An had a blast can't wait to go back."

"Fairly new to disc golf but the best course I’ve ever played. You can’t just fling it out there you have to think about it. Owner was so nice"

"My favorite course to date. Challenging but fun. Tons of beautiful views and fantastic owners who are incredibly welcoming. "

"Tough Course, Unique Layout, Beautiful Natural Features and you can easily tell the owners put in a lot of time and effort to keep this course maintained! Thanks for allowing us to play!"

"Super great course with amazing views. 10/10 would recommend playing this course. Leave your ego at home "

"AMAZING!!!"

"Course is looking great!!! Can’t wait for next weekends tournament!!"

"Great layout! Lots of challenging lines. You can tell the owners put in a good bit of work to make it as nice as possible. "

"Wow 👀"

"Gnarly. Played the Full Monty layout and it’s a hike...incredible holes all around. Super unique course, Well, worth the entry fee. Could use updated baskets but with the pin placements you can’t really set a basket in the ground. Will be back"

"If you want to experience Maple Hill without going there look no further than Sugaree. Rich and company are extremely down to earth and easy going."

"Super fun course amazing people that run it"

"Best course, every hole is super unique, bring food"

"Awesome course!! Beautiful"

"Hands down one of the best courses in the state. Every hole seems like a signature hole. Incredibly thoughtful course design with tee pads for beginners and advanced players alike. Pristinely manicured with breathtaking views. The property is stunning! Plays through a magical forest with amazing basket placements alongside unique rock features, wide open fields and even winds though a beautiful Christmas tree farm! Drove 3 hours to play here and it was worth every minute of the trek. Incredible!"

"Great course! Variety of shots off the tee with a good amount of death put basket placements. This is not a quick play course but certainly something worth planning a day around to enjoy the hike and views. "

"This is a spectacular, course! Most enjoyable round, I've played, in a while. Hard to describe, in words how beautiful the setting is. Bring your A (technical) game and prepare to be challenged. This is not a course for beginners, so beware. Rich and his wife, were gracious and I can't thank them enough, for the opportunity. They will be closing up after November 10th, so get there while you can. Well worth the price! "

"One of the most wildly beautiful and unique courses you will ever play. Quite challenging but super fun. Every hole presents a different puzzle. Truly a mountain disc golf course so be ready to have a blast but also be tired afterwards. "

"Absolutely amazing. It's hard as all hell, we played the extended jam from the back tees with two people in 3h30min. Lots of holes really need a spotter from the long tees and even more so if you don't really know the course. Every hole has a legitimate line, they're just not always easy. Lots of death putts! Bug spray, long pants, and a willingness to lose a disc or two are recommended. The owners were awesome. Thanks SO MUCH for putting this together!"

"Extremely difficult. Not for beginners but fun. Beautiful course with very challenging holes. Be prepared to lose a few discs "

"Amazing "

"Wow! Beautiful course! Thanks for having the crew form Wilmingron NC today! "

"Fantastic course. Needs some concrete tee pads and would be as close to a 5 as possible. "

"The front 9 is extremely technical, but as the course continues it becomes much more enjoyable."

"This place is epic. Fantasy disc golf. Breathtaking views, breathtaking basket placements😲. The owners are fantastic folks. If you are not able to throw a disc where you want it to go consistently, this course will be one of the more challenging tracks out there. If you get a bad kick you could end up quite a ways toward the wrong direction. Keep an eye on your plastic. This is one of my favorite places on earth. Woods/mountain dg at its finest. "

"The most beautiful and hardest course I’ve played. LOTS of elevation, tight woods, rock escarpments and endless death putts. Rich was amazing and course was a blast. Christmas tree farm was a plus! I love this course. "

"Amazing, one of the most scenic courses I’ve ever played"

"Amazing woods course. Epic lines, tough greens, and big/beautiful boulders."

"The most unique and beautiful course I've ever stepped foot on. The topography, views and rock formations make it feel like a mytical Romanian forest. Even with the less than ideal teepads (on just a few holes) the lines and landscape itself trumps minor amenities. Nobody can beat Rich as a host either, one of a kind place that should be a mecca for ever disc golfer"
