Not much new to add 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 24, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Is a very good beginners' course as noted by earlier reviews. Short open and wooded holes to introduce new players to what to expect from longer courses when they get to that point in their development.

As such, parents can take their kids, and active seniors can also enjoy the course without being demoralized about their new sport right out of the box.

I recommend first timers new to the sport simply skip the scarier water holes. Don't keep score or write down par+4.

Cons:

While holes are short, some are definitely harder. Nos. 15 and 17 should be par 3s imho.

You must wait for walkers, etc. Come early or late to minimize this. Off-peak weekdays when folks are at work or school, if you have the day off.

Other Thoughts:

I think it's a great course for a local to begin with, learn to master, graduate from to bigger and better, having established a solid foundation at Dupree. Thereafter, a course to play casually hither and yon. For those of us passing through, ditto. Visiting family for Christmas, I introduced 2 of the 3 to disc golf here. One excelled quickly, another established a technique that she can build upon, and the third still had fun (smile).

Dupree Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 5, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Has concrete tee pads

Has a good mix of open and wooded fairways

Some holes have changes in elevation

Hole #7 has a rope for the steep descent from the tee

Course flows pretty well

Short course - excellent for the junior or player working on the short game or ace runs

Well-maintained

Free parking

Restrooms

Cons:

Walking path meanders throughout the course and parkgoers can cause some delays on holes #1-6 and #18

Water comes into play on holes #7, #9, #13, #15, and #17 where 15 and 17 can be factors in losing a disc

Park can get very busy on the weekend with other parkgoers

Has no tee signs but not a big deal

Concrete tee pads are raised and short but also not a big deal

Other Thoughts:

This is a nice par 2 course in the Cherokee County area where one can go out and work on the short game and make ace runs or bring a junior to play a good mix of holes. I like coming out here to warm-up before heading to nearby Sequoyah Park. Also, this course has an open field so you can work on any long driving if needed. Some of the holes are too close to the walking path for my taste, so one can expect delays in playing during the weekend. Also, the duck pond can be popular with parkgoers at holes #9 and #17.

Dupree Park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 12, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is one of a kind. Instead of lengthy par 3's, 4's, or 5's, the course is designated as a "par 2" layout. As such, expect shorter holes that for an experienced golfer are more like upshots than actual drives. For the beginner, look for a manageable course that couldn't be more friendly for a first timer. After the first few holes, you'll tiptoe into a polite wooded area that introduces you to what a "standard" course will bring. There is a peppered variety of open shots along with some slight elevation changes and some tightly wooded shots to mix things up. There is even some water in play a couple times that will keep you on your toes, especially hole 15, which arguably is one of the tougher holes on the course. Concrete tees and of course the new Prodigy baskets round out the bells and whistles.

While geared towards new and up and coming players, the course is perfect for practice for the most seasoned of players. There is a open area for field work with multiple baskets to aim for, lots of upshot/putting practice, and of course the challenge of trying to shoot par (36).

This is a clean park, easy to get to, and while not a destination course, it's worth it to stop by to add to your courses played list, a day of practice, or get that illusive ace.

Cons:

Concrete tees are here although they don't offer a ton of real estate. No biggie as a modest run up (if any at all) is all you'll need. Rather than being poured level with the ground they were formed and poured on top of grade so a four inch lip is present on most holes around the pad.

The holes around the field, 2-5 or so were repetitive and somewhat boring. Hole 15 didn't seem to offer a clear line, and as a water carry, didn't seem appealing to me. I only brought my putter and as my go to disc, didn't have the urge to throw the hole. I figured two things might happen here. I'd throw a good shot hit a tree and go in water or a bad shot and end up under basket (okay I'm exaggerating). But still the risk of the water wasn't worth me throwing my main putter. Just my suggestion bring something that you can throw that won't leave you heartbroken just in case.

Lots of casual folks on the course that delayed the round. Had to wait a while and finally skip a hole due to small children (like a previous reviewer stated) climbing on a basket.

Other Thoughts:

As long as you know what to expect when playing here this is a solid "par 2" course. Certainly something different from most courses you'll normally play. With that in mind, based on the course designer's intention I'll give it a 3 out of 5. If you are looking to introduce new players to the sport, this is the place!
