My new favorite course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 31, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Flat grippy tees
Baskets that catch well, though the chains do seem to be a little stiff
Nice balance between wooded and open holes
The open holes still make you shape your shot
The island hole is fair
Great shot variety
Good signage that made navigating the course from hole to hole easy
The tee signs were helpful, clear, and included useful distance information about things along the fairway
Great use of changes in elevation
Fairway widths were fair and clearly defined
There weren't too many or too few trees in the fairway

Cons:

When it's muddy, some of the fairways (like hole 18) are so steep that slipping becomes an issue on the fairway

Other Thoughts:

This is the best course that I've played so far!

Antioch's Hidden Gem 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 19, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Phenomenal Hole Design: I cannot stress this enough. The course designers expertly used the land they were given to come up with an extremely entertaining course that was challenging, yet fair, and that anyone with a decent amount of experience would enjoy. Although most of the holes are in the woods, there are several different throws that have to be made, and the forest is aged in such a way that there isn't a lot of underbrush lining the fairways to knock discs down. The open holes (#1 and #2) do not disappoint either, and allow a couple holes of warming up accuracy before diving into the wooded holes. Holes that stood out to me were #2, #7, and #18, and I cannot remember a single hole that I disliked or felt disinterested playing on.

Use of Elevation: This also goes with the above point, but I wanted to separate it to stress how well the course uses it. There is not a single hole that is a straight-uphill shot. The land itself is very hilly, and the course is designed to incorporate that elevation without frustrating the player.

Signage: The signage on this course is really solid. A subtle touch that makes a big difference is the distance to certain landmarks on the longer holes (i.e. '300ish feet to the drainage ditch' on Hole 2). It's the little things like this that make a course feel more complete. Additionally, the orange signs designating the walking paths between holes were easy to find. They could have a couple more of these (15 to 16 was rough for me), but overall they do a good job in conjunction with the "next tee" arrows on the teepad signs.

Cons:

Erosion Control: There were some areas that were a bit muddy, but that's to be expected on a course in the woods in the wet season. Some of these areas could be fixed with a bit of gravel or some steps, but it did not affect my overall experience.

Tee Pads: All of the tee pads (besides 7, which was the corner of the parking lot) were carpet/turf. This course is too good of a course to have turf pads, and I hope there is a plan for more permanent concrete pads in the future.

Bugs: I went on an unusually warm day in February when it was slightly muddy, and throughout the wooded holes there were little gnats/flies everywhere. I am not sure if this is a seasonal thing or not, but it was mildly annoying. Not annoying enough to prevent me from coming back, but enough to remember to bring bug spray.

Park Signage: There is no signage in the park saying where the first hole is. This would help, especially because it is on the other side of the road from the rest of the course. What also confused me was...

That Practice Basket in the Parking Lot Circle by #2 and #7: This isn't so much of a con, but more of a "why?" There is a good chunk of land behind the tee for #1 to have a practice basket, and it is also closer to the larger parking lot where both courses start. I don't understand why the practice basket is here. It actually led me to believe that I was supposed to park in the lot by the tennis courts where #2 and #7 start, and I had to backtrack up the road to get to #1.

Other Thoughts:

My favorite courses in the Nashville area have always been Cedar Hill and Seven Oaks. After playing this course, my favorite courses in the area are Cedar Hill, Seven Oaks, and Cane Ridge, and I believe that as Cane Ridge continues to develop (tee pads, etc.), it will become my favorite course in the area. The Pros are very "pro" and the cons are all minor and fixable. I cannot wait to go back and play it again!

Fantastic and Challenging Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 1, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a wonderful course and an excellent addition to the Nashville disc golf scene. The design is fantastic...this designers really made the most of the land they were given. It is very challenging but not unreasonable.

Cons:

This course will be very hard for new players. I do wish there were a couple more open holes....majority of course is in the trees.

Other Thoughts:

I'm excited to see how this course continues to evolve! Also, they have recently installed artificial turf tee pads which are working very well.

fun course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 11, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is very mature and cleared out for being less than 1 year old. It has had alot of work over the past year to make it excellent. The tee pads, tee signs and baskets are top notch. The blue baskets are very visible in all seasons. The turf tee pads play consistent rain or shine. It is a very advanced level course but playable for all levels. It will really test your all around distance and accuracy. In my mind it's top 3 in Nashville hands down.

Cons:

Currently only one pen placement per hole. I would like to see some different variations of pin positions.

Amazing young course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 1, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course has pretty much anything you could ask for, plus a little more. Every shot in your bag will be tested. There is a great mix of holes and the shots never get boring. Holes 1 through 6 take you through a pretty tough stretch off golf that will test even the best of golfers. Holes 7,8, and 9 give you a stretch of "must get" birdies that will be in your head if you don't 2 them. Hole 10 is pretty straight forward with OB behind the pin and a big drop off to the left.... You don't wanna go down there. Hole 11 is a great par 4 that requires you to throw out of a tunnel and land in a decent spot for your up shot. Hole 12 plays 310ft and the pin sits in the middle of a 60ft island green. Hole 13 is short, but challenging. hole 14 is a Beast That requires 2 great shots to take a 3. Hole 15 is a touchy downhill green that requires you to throw a slow shot that won't fly way past the pin. Hole 16 is another one you feel like you must get, which is nice after a stretch of tough lines. 17 is 270' dead straight with kind of a low ceiling and one of the most defined fairways with unique trees leaning over the fairway. 18 is a 403' turnover that plays over a big trench. There is a very nice, sturdy bridge that Walks you over the trench which is a nice touch. That is kind of a quick walk through of the course that really won't do it justice. If you are in Nashville you should make plans to stop by what I think is our best course. This is my home course, but I waited to review it until I felt it was "complete." All of the signs are in the ground, the tee pads are all done, there are benches, trash cans and the fairways are cleared and defined. This course is less than a year old but plays and looks as good as a course that has been in the ground for 5+ years.

Cons:

Stinging nettles on 8, 9, and 18. They have been sprayed within the past couple days so hopefully they will die out soon. Could use more benches, but that will come with time.

Other Thoughts:

Another course is being installed on the property! Really looking forward to that.

Great course in the making 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 23, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course almost has it all.. From short to long, easy to difficult, island green, dog leg left/right shots. Wide open to very tight wooded shots. Good use of OB where applied. Signs were very detailed and new. Turf tees were very nice and there was good seating with a couple garbages available. New prodigy baskets were very nice and they catch very well. I was impressed for how new the course is.

Cons:

GPS brought me to the park no problem.. But was glad someone had kind of mentioned how to get to the first hole. No signs for where to start. Some holes were missing signs, but I'm sure that will be fixed in the near future. There were many small stumps sticking out but still playable. Hole 7 was confusing. I think you're supposed to throw from the parking lot? Which would be bad if someone was parked in that spot, but I could be wrong. Hole 3 and I believe 15 had some mud that will need some work to not always being soft.

Other Thoughts:

One of the only things the course is really missing is water. This course will most likely be the Best in the area. Not surprised Will Schusterick was one of the designers. Very well laid out. Will be playing if ever in the area again!!
