(1.955 Rating) A solid 9 hole course with several short technical ace runs.
- FUN FACTOR - This place looks like a super fun chill course to play with your buddies while staying at a Bigfoot camp grounds. Grab and putter and a mid, then hunt for some fun aces. Although newer players might not like the tight lines, it's hard to lose a disc as much of overgrowth had been beaten back when I played to help reduce search times. I like how you can rent a cabin here and then walk outside and basically be right on the course.
- RAW BEAUTY - I scored the Bigfoot 9 a touch above average with potential to go higher. The main pro here is the natural wooded environment. The layout is mostly in the woods with tunnel shots hooking both ways. I've always found this style to be relaxing to the mind and spirit. What holds me back from scoring the beauty attribute higher is the use of gravel access roads and paths as fairways and also the past trash dumping area short and right of basket (9). The trees/forest also seems to be younger in age then some other wooded courses I've played recently.
- BASICS AMENITIES - Being that the course isn't blessed with a big city budget, the course doesn't have top of line equipment. However, the chains are axiom pro, which isn't too bad of basket for being in the $150 price range. The tees are turf, small, but a respectable enough to throw off of considering the shorter distances. The tee signs were above average in quality and usefulness. I think the course needs to add a couple benches.
- NAVIGATION - Finding tee (1) was super easy. Its literally at the junction of the main road and the turn-in drive. The tee signs have next tee direction call outs and the baskets have arrows under them. I had no issues getting around.
- QUICK PLAY - I clocked in and out in 20 minutes. Rounds will fly here.
- MAINTENANCE - I was super surprised the course wasn't more overgrown. I friend of mine works here and he told me have been putting in some hours to keep the overgrowth beaten back. Thank you Caleb for your volunteer work!
- CABINS AND WHITE WATER RAFTING - The main draw here at Bigfoot is it's white water rafting excursions. People send entire weekends here renting cabins, hiking and floating/cascading down the Ocoee. The disc golf is just a nice bonus for those of us that enjoy slinging plastic as well.

A small footprint course without a big budget.
- SPACING - A couple holes seemed a little too tight. I wasn't a fan of (3) which requires throwing threw a sort of carport looking thing with a deck on top. There was also a bus parked on this hole and parking areas infringe on the line of play. My friend noted that he takes people up to the deck to throw. That seems like a much cooler shot. Hole (2s) fairway is basically an access road and a few other fairways use pathways as fairways as well. I thought basket (9) was too close to tee (1).
- OVERGROWTH - Pinging a tree and having it redirect well off course can be punishing. I had kept my shots on the mark up until the last hole. This is how I found out about the beer can dump in the woods short of the basket.
- POISON IVY - Like every wooded course in the region, there is some poison ivy here. Likely snakes and ticks too. I don't take off rating points for this.
- HOLE VARIETY - The course is in a style I prefer being almost all technical woods plays. If you like this style, you'll like this fun shorty. If you don't like this style, you're sh!t out of luck. A couple pocket left, a couple pocket right. No bomber plays or water elements. There are two listed par 4s. I agree with prior reviewer, Hole (3) seems like a par 3 instead of the par 4 indication noted on the sign. Hole (3) is shy of 300 feet long. Hole (9), although short, could be argued as a weak par 4. The bend is 90 degrees without any way to cutting the corning unless you are the son of Treesus. The second leg on (9) is perhaps 65 to 70 feet. It requires an accurate placed drive 200 feet dead straight. Missing the fairway will take away most birdie chances.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - This course was not designed to challenge to higher skilled players.

This is the second bigfoot course I've played now after Baggentoss Farms just northwest of Chattanooga. The two course are completely different styles and I would surely replay here over Baggentoss's simple open layout. Anyways, if I include this course in among the Chattanooga metro courses, I think it would fall somewhere in the middle of the rankings. Most similar Chattanooga's "Nine On Top" course, but also similar to both Shepherd and Johnston Woods. Overall I'm going with a solid 2.0.
- PAY TO PLAY - $5 for a round for those not staying in a cabin or going on a rafting tour.

About 15 miles east of Cleveland, Tenn., Bigfoot Ocoee Outfitters has expanded its offerings of rafting, cabin rentals and camping by recently adding disc golf.

A short and technical course in a peaceful wooded setting, the Bigfoot Ocoee Outfitters design won't require the mythical creature's strength to score well; instead, you will need to rely on precision to bag birdies and bypass brambles.

While most of the holes are in the 200-foot range and require just putters and mid-ranges, accuracy is also necessary to score well. Most of the fairways are narrow and a few include a tree-lined ceiling also. Plus the off-the-fairway areas will prompt some difficult scrambles if you don't keep your drive straight.

The course is extremely easy to navigate as the course outline forms a large rectangle and the Hole #9 basket is a jump putt away from the opening teepad. About the only transition that requires a look around is after Hole #2; climb the hill on the right to find the next teepad.

The teepads are crushed gravel inside of wooden planks, and the footing seemed excellent. Some regular maintenance, such as some minor leveling and leaf removal, will help keep the teepads in good condition.

There is elevation on a few holes. Hole #2 is a blind basket that offers a cool choice between the open line on the left side or the wooded line on the right side where your disc might slide down the hill to the basket. Hole #5 is the signature hole and a fantastic wooded valley shot. Even though it's only 197 feet, there are two trees serving as goalposts nearly halfway down the fairway that can quickly halt your ace run.

The briars off the left side of the fairway on Hole #9 could seemingly be guarding the gates of hell. I received several bloody scratches retrieving my errant drive. Fortunately, the owners said that future plans include eliminating all the thorny bushes, which currently border a dry pond.

The baskets are Axiom Pro. They are a little lightweight and the basket is on the shallow side, but the chains seemed to catch just fine.

Several of the tee signs are located too close to the front of the teepad. The sign for Hole #8 was definitely trying to distract me while I threw my drive. The signs are hand-drawn but detailed. The white signs are easy to spot. However, the inked map was already starting to fade due to the elements.

The variety is a bit low. At least half the holes could fit the mold of a "200-foot tunnel shot."

Isolated. There isn't much chain-rattling action near the Bigfoot course. The Ocoee Retreat Center is about 10 minutes away and its nine-hole disc golf course might be open, but noteworthy courses like Athens Regional Park and The Sinks (Chattanooga) are about 45-50 minutes away.

There is a $5 charge per day to play, unless you're a rafting, camping or cabin customer. Consider it a donation to a small business in the offseason, and then play several rounds to get your money's worth.

The par for the course is listed as 29, which includes two par-4s. I would suggest that Hole #3 falls into the category of a tougher par 3. While the drive is a little challenging, a good S-curve will find the circle, and making a 4 feels like a bogey, anyway. However, Hole #9 would meet the par-4 standard. First, the hole is L-shaped and listed at 259 feet, but I believe that's as the crow flies. This hole requires a straight 250-foot drive down a narrow gravel road while avoiding all the branches that threaten to deflect your shot into the briars on either side. Then it's a 90-degree turn and another 60-75 feet to the basket. If your drive goes off the path, you might have to pitch back onto the fairway and play for a 4 at best.

The guys at the Bigfoot Ocoee Outfitters are a friendly group. They asked for our feedback (here you go, Trevor!) on how to better the course. They acknowledged that their new course is a work in progress, and they shared several ideas of planned improvements. There's also consideration for an additional nine holes on their 26-acre property, though they said that's probably a task for next winter's to-do list.

The dog is extremely friendly. Her name is Reese, and she has markings similar to a boxer. She followed my friend and me around on our round and was a delightful companion.

Regarding design, the scenic and technical creation at the Bigfoot Ocoee Outfitters is my cup of tea. The course has made a solid debut and the dedicated ownership seems intent on making their site the spot to visit, especially during rafting season.
