Queen City Classic

Hornets Nest Park DGC

Hornets Nest Park DGC in Charlotte offers a compact 9,000-foot layout that rewards accuracy over brute power, with a distinctive mix of tight, tree-lined fairways and open, player-friendly stretches. The par-62 scorecard leans heavily on scoring opportunities—eight par threes and ten par fours—making it an efficient, fast-paced round that feels more like a strategic puzzle than a distance challenge. With only a modest 2009 OB rule and moderate wind exposure, the course flows smoothly across a flat, rolling terrain where shot placement matters more than elevation changes. Tournament history adds a competitive edge; the park hosted the 2026 Queen City Classic, where Gannon Buhr took home the men’s title and Jessica Gurthie the women’s, drawing pros to navigate the tight lines and tight corners. The mix of technical shots and straightaway opportunities gives players a balanced test, while the park’s mature trees and open fields create a pleasant, shaded setting. Whether you’re sharpening approach skills or just looking for a quick, enjoyable round, Hornets Nest delivers a compact, fair test with a touch of Charlotte’s disc golf charm.
