DisCatchers are in decent shape, still catching well

Relatively easy to navigate as many of the holes are on the short side, though the first time out you may want the map because it can get a tad confusing..

18 finishes relatively close to the parking lot.

Decent variety of hole types- you've got wooded and open shots, plus water comes into play on 12 and then, if you shank it, on 18.

Scenic. With decent weather it's a very enjoyable walk through the woods, around a lake and across the grounds. Grass was cut the day I played.

Tee signs are simple with no map but do have distances listed. There is also the occasional next tee sign.

Not a great range of distances. the longest is approx. 330 and the shortest is 130. In fact, the course is overall on the short side with 4 holes under 200' and only 4 over 250'.

Availability could be an issue. In addition to having odd hours I have the feeling that when there are functions going on many of the holes are unplayable.

Natural tees, though apparently the course doesn't get used terribly often. The familiar dirt patches haven't been worn into the ground yet and the course was established 3 years ago. From that alone it seems the course doesn't see a lot of action.

Only non-scout facility I saw was a port-o-john outside of the check-in building.

As alluded to in other reviews it can get kinda confusing your first time here. After you've driven a ways on SR 19 and then take the left on Camp Binachi rd, you wind your way to an intersection that has a sign pointing you to the camp. The problem is that it looks like it's telling you to go left, when in fact you should head straight ahead. when you get to the main gate with the classic arched "Camp Binachi" overhead, take a right, past the house to the shooting range/ranger station. It's a dirt road and then you get to a chain link fence on your left. If no one is there they have signs w/ phone numbers for you to call. After check in you have to double-back to the main gate and proceed into the camp-proper. Tee 1 is right against the edge of the parking lot you'll find on the right, before the main camp buildings.

My overall impression of Camp Binachi is that it's a great course for introducing the sport to young people (scouts) and a nice walk in the woods. Very scenic - worth the short detour if you're passing through Meridian (way more fun than Highland Park, and less sketchy) or, on the way to Mobile; still, I wouldn't go far out of my way for it specifically. The holes are short yet challenging to a newbie. A fair mix of open and slightly wooded. That said, veterans may find themselves underwhelmed.
