About this course
Tucked into the pines of New Hope Park, Diavolo earns its name — Italian for "devil" — across 18 holes that punish the loose tee shot and reward the disciplined line. The front nine eases you in with open, rolling fairways; the back nine tightens into a corridor of loblolly pine where par feels like a small victory.
Designed in 2016 and refined every season by the local club, Diavolo hosts the region's premier A-tier each spring and stays busy with leagues the rest of the year. First-timers are welcome — there's a shorter set of tees — but bring a midrange you trust and leave the distance driver in the bag until you've learned the gaps.

Took my buddy here for his second-ever round and we both had a blast — challenging but never mean. The pines on the back nine at golden hour are the best stretch of disc golf in the Carolinas.
Hole 10, the Devil's Elbow, is worth the trip on its own. Bring extra discs — that blind dogleg ate two of mine. Pro shop staff were super friendly to a first-time visitor.
Course is immaculate and the layout is brilliant. Knocked a star because hole 12 gets genuinely swampy after rain — wear good shoes. Otherwise a bucket-list track.
