A sobering experience.

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 28, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

The park is immaculate and sits behind the Georgia Motorsports Hall of Fame! Definitely a pro for an old racing fan. Everything looks brand new here or extremely well maintained. Amenities abound in this park including benches, multiple playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, a skateboard park, walking trails, baseball fields, and new bathrooms. No doubt this park is extremely busy in nice weather.

Signage for the course is excellent. New baskets and concrete teepads throughout the course (except where the teepad plays off the paved walking trail). You can park anywhere on this course and start on any available hole making an easy walkable 9 hole loop.

Cons:

Safety!!! A few holes are so dangerous they need to be pulled. This park will be busy in nice weather. Let me list the safety issues:
1. Hole 2 - You are either throwing a RHBH spike hyzer over the basketball court that'll clear the fence, or throwing a RHFH down the walking path to avoid the fence.
2. Hole 3 - Most of the fairway is the walking path. There's no way to avoid this. I decided to skip the hole. As I started walking forward, a woman pushing a baby stroller entered the fairway. No way I could see her before throwing. Pull this hole.
3. Hole 4 is awesome, but I threw a perfect sidewinding shot over the skate park parking the hole unknowingly over the head of a kid sitting down in the skatepark. Again, no way I could see him.
4. Hole 7 - Bomb your driver downhill 400 ft. to the basket surrounded by picnic tables. Time to move those tables before a person takes a driver to the head.

Other than those safety issues, the course is fine. Hole 1, an errant drive may make its way to the baseball field outfield.

Other Thoughts:

Unfortunately, my poor planning did not allow a visit to the Georgia Motorsports Hall of Fame since I bagged this course early morning before they opened. I'm sure I'll pass through again as I often take the mountain routes to bypass Atlanta.
