Dream course for the area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 22, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great circular layout (9 basket is right by 1 tee.) An easier coruse but well maintained.

Cons:

Wish there was room for more holes.

Other Thoughts:

Never crowded ( I have never seen more than 2 other groups when I've been playing.) 9 out of 10 times I see no other golfers.

Give it a chance - you'll like it! 2+ years drive by

Pros:

* For only nine holes, it has a nice mix of short and long, open and wooded, and holes to the left & right of teepads
* Bag hangers on each sign are a nice touch I haven't seen before
* Good signage and easy to follow flow
* Red and blue tees on each hole; reds are well-placed for beginners and youngsters
* Nice level of difficulty for anything but the most skilled of players. Intermediate players can hope for birdies while beginners are unlikely to be completely discouraged
* Has a practice basket
* Alt pin placements on most holes
* Seems quiet enough for somebody to dream up a safari course to complement the official nine.

Cons:

* The fact that the nine holes are so well-done makes you long for a full eighteen
* Some funny guy bent one of the spokes on the bottom on basket 9, and it's possible (but unlikely) for a disc to fall out. I'll try to bend it back next time I'm out there
* The trees that have been planted on #9 are too small at this point to provide the obstacle the designer intended, but time will take care of that
* A windy day will not be kind to you on this course
* Perhaps no real signature hole
* A few of the tees have weird lumps in them. I'm guessing there's tree stump under the pad, but it seemed sorta odd and a something you'll need to be careful of
* Also be careful on #8 - the pipe needles make this an easy one to slip on.
* Out in the middle of nowhere (sorry, Roystonians, or whatever you call yourselves). The road the park is on has no street sign either. Just turn at the road to the right of the Dollar General

Other Thoughts:

Don't be fooled by the fact that this is "only" a nine hole course - it's well designed course and a pleasure to play.

The parks department even created a video explaining the basics of disc golf; very admirable - I'd like to thank them for the effort that went into this.

I added photos of everything since there were only a handful before; hopefully this will encourage more players to come out. It's a pleasant drive from Athens.

Very nice! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 28, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nice park.
Nice tee pads.
Great baskets.
Good mix of challenges and lines.
Very distinct signage and directional markers.
Well maintained.

Cons:

None.

Other Thoughts:

I was thoroughly impressed by this course. My initial thought would be that it would be a typical 9 hole "pitch and putt". That is far from the truth.
Bring out the big arms, there is ample opportunity to air out some plastic here.
