Roy Winthrop Gold Course stands out as a designer Harold Duvall creation from 1992, offering a distinctive 9,793-foot layout that balances precision with power. With a heavy concentration of par-threes—seven of the eighteen holes—this Rock Hill, South Carolina course rewards players who can launch bombs down the fairways and control their approach shots. The OB severity of three out of five means water and out-of-bounds fences are frequent obstacles, requiring careful placement. The playing experience here is marked by moderate wind exposure and a flat elevation profile, so wind management becomes a key skill as you navigate the 7 par-threes and 11 par-fours. Distance is a premium skill, with the course demanding arm strength on many of the longer holes, though the par-threes offer opportunities to reset and tighten your approach game. The course hosted the 2025 US Disc Golf Championship, where Anthony Barela took the MPO title, cementing its reputation as a venue that tests disc golfers at the highest level.
