Person County Campus visitors may still visit PCC’s Nature Trail or Rockness Monster Disc Golf Course when the campus is open.

The Rockness Monster is a 19-hole disc golf course located on the Piedmont Community College Person County Campus and is free and open to the public. The course has tee pads for beginners, intermediate, alternate, and advanced. Professional tee signs are located on every hole at the white tee and benches are behind every white and blue tee pad.

The course has received rave reviews from disc golfers, including, “Beware of the secret dragon holes as they have a hankering for some disc. This is a fun themed course that has boldery pin placement. The elevation change and dense forest make for tight shots and a premium on accuracy. The navigation and signage of this course are top notch! This is a fun course and worth the stop if you are traveling through the area,” found on https://www.discgolfscene.com/courses/Piedmont_Community_College/.

The course is located adjacent to the S Building near Parking Lot 3 and the nature trail.
