It's still a fairly new course and so obviously, there are still some bits of dead and broken branches and some vines near trees. On some holes (especially the flat ones), there seem to be a couple small trees inconveniently in the way of a potential path.
Then again, maybe that was the way the hole was intended and it forces you to use more creative throws (ie forehands and maybe a roller here or there).
Lots of the holes test your accuracy and overall, it is a fairly short course. However, there are 3 or 4 uphill holes that can be a bear to walk. Especially hole 12, a bombing 336' uphill straight and left, with a 20 degree grade. Be sure you have a good pair of shoes to make a few of those climbs.
Over time, as it gets more cleared and more refined, I think it can be an excellent tournament course. Just add several brooms to some of the teepads for us players to use at our convenience, especially once Autumn comes around.
Though it is regarded as 'very hilly', over half the holes are actually on flat land. But the hill holes are mostly steep ones! Holes 1, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 18 play up or down. Holes 2-8 and 11, 15, and 16 play mostly flat. The flat ground on the low plain Front 9 could get a bit saturated after a big rain, though I'm not positive.
I'd say one of the signature holes is Hole 10, with the tall majestic trees all along the sides - very scenic. Hole 15 has a neat pin placement on top of a tall mulch mound, yet it is anchored in steady ground at top. Hole 17 and 18 are an interesting final 2 to complete your round.
There is a big map sign in parking lot which shows a blowup of course layout and walking trails. There are a couple brochures for both Native Trees and Native Wildlife to the park. I didn't run across any of the critters (only a few chiggers lol), but took notice of several of the plant species near various holes. So if you're into botany and wildlife, make sure to observe the beauty of this scenic park as you play.
I have personally talked to the director of Morgan Co Parks & Rec (Bill Wood, or 'Mr. Bill' as they call him lol) and he is very supportive of disc golf and encouraging more folks to come out and play. He personally gave me all the stats of the course over the phone (distances, hole types, tees, landscape, etc). Special thanks to Chris Sides (an assistant to Mr Bill) who also gave me useful information regarding course. They are open to any suggestions you wish to give them regarding course. You can call Mr. Bill during the day M-F at 706-342-9340 or email at
