Pros:
Fun to write a review.
Cons:
(0.456 Rating) Name any category related to disc golf and I guarantee this course would rate below average.
- CHAINS - Every basket is damaged. Some have weeds and vines growing in the baskets. I can only think of 1 course with a worse grouping of baskets out of 384 courses played as of this review.
- LAYOUT - Either a poorly laid out design or new trees have been planted without concern of the course's fairways.
- SAFETY HAZARDS - Walking paths in play on 6 of the 9 holes. Hole (2) plays down the heart of sidewalk. Several tees are poorly separated from the preceding basket.
- MAINTENANCE - I don't think the park staff and community gives a hoot about this course. Everything course related is in disrepair. Numerous large branches in fairways. Hole (3) likely hadn't been mowed in a half year and it has been dry for some time before my arrival here.
- NAVIGATION - Awful. I couldn't even find all the tees with an online map. Only a few numbered tee markers remain. Baskets are not numbered. No directional cues.
- DISCONTINUITY - A 400 foot walk north between basket (8) and tee (9).
- CHARACTER - No extras or amenities other than a restroom building where one can wipe away the tears after attempting to play this course.
- TEES - 4 feet by 3 feet concrete pads overgrown with weeds.
- UNIQUENESS - The hole variety, although below average, is actually one of the better course aspects. Decent use of elevation which plays up, down and along the side of a slope. Mostly park style shots with light to moderate tree coverage. No heavily wooded shots and all par 3s. The creek in the park was mostly avoided.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - If I brought a beginner here they would think this game is a joke and would never play again.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - I scored the course a 1.625 out of 5. As stated above, the park maintenance is poor. In addition, the park appears to have funding issues. Lots of dead grass and drying trees. Park building look in sad shape.
- TIME PLAY - I was hoping for a quick 20 minutes bag, yet somehow I spent over 45 minutes here.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - I personally did not break par, but I attribute that to horrible basket conditions, course conditions and maintenance issues. If it were magically put back into good working order, this would be a Recreational level course at best.

Other Thoughts:
In its heyday, Lucedale was likely a nice little 9 hole course. Fast forward 12 years later and it has deteriorated into nothing more than an eyesore for the community. It's likely I was the first player here in months and its one of worst courses I've played to date. Unless you like a good train wreck course, there is absolutely no reason to venture here.
