Winthrop University Disc Golf Course

I’ve sampled most of the DG courses around Charlotte and it’ll be hard to find one with more personality than Winthrop’s. Stacked with baskets dancing on the edge of the lake, riddled with wooden area, long and open drives, murders of geese and even a fortress of bamboo. Each time is different weather conditions and they make for different levels of play.
The landscape is absolutely breathtaking. Beautiful lake, huge trees, well-​manicured fields. All make for an advanced level of play and scenic views. Often, we have gone with friends and some of us go to play and others join to just walk along the course. It’s such a beautiful facility, you really can just enjoy the views without even picking up a disc.
The only downside to this course is that the direction, starting point and course map are not clearly laid out. You’ll have to google or check out one of the disc golf websites for further direction on where to start. We’ve ended up making our own course out of the available baskets. Some can be pretty hard to find, too. Also, there aren’t bathrooms around the course, so go beforehand if need be!
Happy disc golfing!
