I've been wrestling with this review for about a week. Seven Oaks is an interesting course, it's slightly below the best in the area, which is probably Cedar Hill or one of the other Music City courses. In terms of construction of holes in a not huge park space it's a pretty cool track and with a lot of variety.

Many holes have multiple pin positions that appear to move around often, several have multiple tees, and there is an optional "inner 3" fun wooded holes on the shorter side that can bring it up to 21 total holes instead of the standard 18.

Baskets are pretty new Innova baskets and seem to have replaced old Mach 3s in the last year or so. They catch great and the yellow stands out against largely wooded backdrop.

You have the benefit of some beautiful rolling terrain with old growth large oak trees and more tightly wooded holes through the middle of the course and some of them are not short. You need to have some great control and placement to score well and if you can't control your speed around the green you can easily end up in some punishing rough.

The shot diversity needed here is great, and I couldn't lean in on any one shot or disc too often.

There are also some funky terrain shifts like 15 that is a rocky tunnel shot out of no where or 18 that opens up to a booming forehand shot with the creek in play.

You don't often see city parks that have this degree of intrigue and care.

I also liked the benches, tables and seating areas on many holes.

Some of the holes in the woods can get a little repetitive. Navigation isn't flawless, and on a few holes you can see more baskets in a viable location that you are not throwing to. Several of the holes especially the first few/final couple play closer together than is ideal.

It's not really a knock on the course, but the parking area and tee off are somewhat underwhelming.

I put all of the scores together in my head and it stacks up as about a 3.6, but Seven Oaks is greater than the sum of its parts. The flow and fun factor are great and I could see tournaments being great out there.

It also has one of the best disc golf memorials I've ever seen.

+ Tees are sturdy flat concrete. They felt a little small to me, but I've got very long legs.
+ Lost disc box right next to link1.
+ Course features lean towards "gradual sloped woods."
+ Brooms and benches all over the place.
+ Plenty of anti-erosion measures in place. (Rail ties, gravel, mulch, etc.)
+ There is a bolt-and-washer system in place for which basket position is in play, but...

- ...Don't trust it. It looks old and ignored. Many of them were wrong when I played.
- No wayfinding signage.
- Some tees are too close to the previous basket and/or other fairways.
-/+ Most links have an easy to read sign, but they ought to be updated with new basket positions. Some are damaged or outright missing.

The course at Seven Oaks Park didn't enchant me as much as I'd hoped. It's still a very good course worth most players' time. This review is going to defend that, but I couldn't help feeling a little underwhelmed.

There's nothing wrong with the venue. Despite being nestled in the middle of Nashville and less than a mile away, as the crow flies, from the city's international airport (5 miles by road), it is a comfortable and accommodating park with wide open fields, healthy tree cover and gentle sloping hills throughout. These hills are the subtle kind. You don't realize how high or low the basket was until you look back at the tee. I enjoyed the optics of link5 the most because it resembled a quiet wooded respite with a nice valley and pleasant trees. Special mention to that curious rocky fairway of link15. Watch for crazy skips on that one!

There are no particularly dense tree puzzles on the course, though. That may be a good or bad thing depending on which flavor of disc golfer you are. I prefer heavily wooded courses, so this place didn't scratch my itch. That's most of the reason why I felt underwhelmed. Nothing made me do a double take and reconsider which disc I was going to throw. That isn't to say I was bored. In fact, link13 was my favorite to play because of that bushy straightaway in the beginning followed by a perpetual bend to the right among and around some devious trees. It goes to show you just how effective some well-crafted fairways can be. Whether the fairway is a loose mosaic of trunks and branches or a claustrophobically dense tunnel, as long as the challenge in my way makes sense and appears manageable, I'm into it. Also, I really enjoyed the downhill finish of link2 with a sprinkling of trees for that extra drama. Honorable mention to link10 for its tiny gully and tiny forest fairway packed with trees to dodge.

On the downside, links1 and 4 were pretty boring. So was the first 70% of link18. Those are open fairways with precious little to get in the way. Plus, I felt myself getting irritated with trying to find my way around concerning the lack of nav signage. A lot of the time, disc golfer logic prevails. But sometimes it is a big problem. As the most prominent example, I had the hardest time with link8. Maybe I was just being stupid, but finding its tee, determining which basket of the ones I saw was my true target and then finding tee9 were really tough for me. Plus, the course is kind of condensed. A few of the tees were really close to the previous basket and/or other fairways. I felt like an unsuspecting moving target at times. There are worse courses out there for that issue, but we would rather that not be an issue in the first place.

Still, I believe that Seven Oaks is worth a healthy recommendation. The hills are fine. The tree cover is fine. The tees and baskets are fine. The signage could use a makeover, but the fun is here. You have very likely played at courses similar to this one, and this is more of the same. It certainly won't let you down, but it won't razzle your dazzle.

1) A beautiful park set just outside of downtown Nashville that provides just about everything (course wise) a disc golfer can ask for from multiple tee and pin locations to challenge your skill level, to open shots, to semi technical shots, to tight gaps and tunnels, water features, elevation, etc. This course has and can offer a little bit of everything (especially with 21, that I know of, holes in circulation) you can create your own experience here.

2) As other reviewers have stated below, the amenities vary wildly on this course from ok, to good, to great. The "main" 18 provides the most solid combination of concrete tee pads, decent to above average condition Mach baskets, and good to above average tee pad signs with all relevant information. The additional holes and alternate tee pads sometimes contain turf tee pads and older chainstar or older version mach or poor condition old discatchers. This still isn't enough to warrant putting this in the cons section though. The extra holes are challenging and well designed and fun to play, a few turf tee pads and some older 18 chain baskets doesn't detract too much from it.

3) Course has a mixed bag of good use of elevation and open flat holes. Where elevation is present, it is used extremely well. This can lead to the flatter more open holes feeling less exciting, and more bland I guess, but they aren't bad holes. They just don't live up to the standards set by the elevation change and tight tunnels of the best holes on the course.

4) Some extremely pretty wooded holes, large rocks throughout fairways and greens, some mulched out holes, all combine to create a very visually pleasing trek through this wooded course. So many good holes that it is very difficult to pick out signature holes or even highlight the best due to total amount of great holes.

5) A shot shapers paradise. The course boasts tons of varying distance challenging gap hitting par 3's, mixed with some long 1 angle and flex angle tunnel shots. There are a couple "short" Par 3's but they require very precision angles and touch to get close and the hole shape is rarely ever repeated throughout the course. Holes 1-4 and 9 and 18 are probably the most open on the hole and give you a break from the more densely wooded holes throughout.

6) The design smartly offers you multiple routes, suitable for LHBH and RHBH on most holes, with some routes being much more technical than others. Several risk reward holes. Nothing seemed extremely difficult to par, BUT there are multiple routes that bring bogey or worse into play if you are aggressive and execute poorly.

7) Multiple Pin locations and alternate layouts (with or without the added holes) means this course can be played at a staggering number of layouts based on the challenge you wish to seek. Suitable for novice players (though difficult still) all the way up to elite pros. It's rare you find a course than stand up and provide a realistic challenge to all ranges of skills without being oppressively difficult for low ams or being a birdie fest pitch and putt for pros. Seven Oaks toes that line well, and delivers.

8) The course is maintained beautifully. Grass mowed, fairways clear of debris. You will notice quite a few "debris piles" throughout, but upon closer inspection they are more like art pieces purposefully stacked to protect tee pads and greens from blind tee shots and errant throws. Every time I have visited the course has been clean and free of trash.

9) Hole #14 deserves mention here as it shows Eight different possible pin locations from 2 possible tee pads. This goes towards my earlier mentioning of a tremendous amount of layouts possible and choosing different skill levels to set the course up for. I've played this course multiple times and have never played the same Hole #14 layout twice as it has been in a different location each time I've played.

10) You will use your entire bag and probably wish you had brought a few more discs. From scramble rollers, to tomahawks, to shovel putts you never know what this course is going to throw at you because of the tree kicks you may receive. A masterclass in resourcefulness.

1) Signage is consistent in style and helpful in hole shape but the distances seem to vary from off by just a little, to off by a lot. Hole 2 for instance (a blind over a hill par 3) says the distance is 380 and the first time I played it I over shot it with a mid range significantly while trying to play a layup shot short of the creek. Just one instance of many where the distance didn't match (especially after shot with a range finder)

2) Tee pads vary in flatness, width, and length throughout based on some difficult terrain areas which I get. But it will be a mentally difficult thing for you to get comfortable with because of the lack of consistency, especially if you like big run ups of approaching from the sides of the tee pads.

3) Lack of reliable pin position indicators. Though a few had some, most holes did not, or the pin indicator was missing. You will spend some time trying to locate baskets. If you are using a scoring app that shall remain nameless, use the smart layout option that "should" give you a current layout option with the current basket locations to choose to play. This will help.

4) Navigation is very tricky here, especially with so many possible tee pads and basket location, and additional holes. Even with a course map it's easy to take the wrong path to the next hole.

5) This course is WELL USED. As many other reviewers have mentioned, middle of the week, bad weather, and there will still be 10 or more groups on the course. This is only a con for those who do not like waiting or crowded courses. It does show how much this course is loved and how many people keep coming back to play it. But the crowding can be frustrating.

6) While the risk of losing a disc here is pretty low, the chance of damaging a disc with all the tree hits, rock skips, and random root bounces your discs will inevitably take here can be of concern to people utilizing base line plastics. A previous reviewer mentioned this, and I saw a well loved DX Aviar explode against a tree here from the group in front of us, so I figured I'd add it too.

Such a wonderful course. Not Top tier, but excellent for the area and for being in a park. There are probably just as many great pros to this course as there are valid cons if I were to sit down and weigh each one out. This keeps the course from scoring higher for me, even though I love playing here. With the multitude of possible layouts and vast swings in difficulty, this course can actually rate way differently from one weekend to the next depending on how it is set up when you play it. And this can be good or bad for it's rating and your experience. Which is wonderful for locals who visit constantly, but a crap shoot for those coming through to bag it for the first time. This fits my description of a destination course with the caveat that there could be a possibility the course is set up in a less desireable and fun layout. Baggers beware.

Fun layout and a great mix of holes with multiple lines for every player.

Tough to play in autumn when the leaves fall... but that's not the courses fault. Play white or bright green discs.
Directional signage to a few holes is hard to find. UDisc mapping is accurate.

A park that has almost everything you might want in a disc golf course.

-Amenities: By and large, nice. Like everything in this review, it's a mix. 21 concrete tees vary in size and flatness. Baskets are mostly old orange DGAs, with a few unpainted on the alt holes/pin positions. Signage is consistent and somewhat helpful, but I don't trust the distances. Pin position indicators have varying levels of existence and up-to-dateness. Some transitions have helpful next tee signs, but others are lacking. Benches are ubiquitous.

-Terrain: The open holes are pretty vanilla (though with some hills and trees), and the wooded holes are mostly really pretty. Some have rocks in the fairways, some have mulch. Lots of mild elevation change throughout.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: A whole host of fun par-3 challenges with a couple of multi-shot holes in long pin positions. Other than (7) and (11) short, I can't think of any two holes that were the same shape and strategy. (1)-(4), (9), and (18) were more open but still required mild consideration, but all the others played in varying tightness of woods and were really fun shaping challenges. Multiple routes are available, but you'd better choose a line and stick to it. There are all sorts of turning, pocket, and winding fairways of varying length. A majority of bad shots are scramble-able, but only with touch.

-Multi-Pins: A staggering number of alternate pin positions. Many previous reviews mentioned multiple baskets per hole, but I only saw two baskets in play on a couple of holes. Nonetheless, holes have between 2 and 8 pin positions that can alter distance by as much as 500' (on one hole) and dramatically affect strategy. There are probably thousands of possible layouts here.

-Fairway Maintenance: Really nicely kept up on the course.

-Infrastructure: Bridges, paths, and the like are all present and functional.

-Bonus Holes: I enjoyed playing three alternate holes after (6). They are in keeping with the rest of the course.

-Hole (14): I feel obliged to mention this hole, which has an incredible 8 pin positions playable from two different tees. I played one of the long pins from the long tee and it made for a great par-5, my favorite hole on the course.

A big learning curve. It's like getting lost in a sea of disc golf.

-Pin Position Indicators: With this many possible pins, you need a trustworthy indication of where it's at. Unfortunately, on my appearance many of the indicators were missing, and the ones that were there were only accurate sometimes. I threw two drives off many tees--one for if the pin turned out to be one place, another for if the pin turned out to be another place.

-Navigation: Mostly it's good, but a couple times I went to the wrong hole. (17) is the tee visible from (8), and I managed to take a path to (14) instead of (13) following (12). It's not problematic so much as frustrating.

-Some Tees: A couple of tees slope at an angle that makes it uncomfortable. Some are also too narrow for my taste.

-Lack of Multi-Shot Holes: With the configuration I played on, there were only two multi-shot holes, the par-5 (14) and the par-4 (18). I loved both of them. I wish there were more holes with a situation other than "birdie putt, easy par, or scramble to save." I anticipate that on many of these holes, even the long pin positions wouldn't be true multi-shot placement holes, just long par-3s only birdieable by some players.

-Crowd: So many reviews mention the crowd. I thought, "I'll play on a wet Tuesday morning and there'll be two other people." Wrong. There were at least a dozen groups out at the same time. This sparked my curiosity, and it appears that this is indeed the 17th most played course on the entire DGCR site.

-Disc Beat Up: This course is going to wear your discs as you constantly hit trees and sometimes scrape rocks.

This course has so much going on--so many pros and so many cons. As I looked over the large number of reviews, I found myself agreeing with both the generous reviewers' pros and the stingy reviewers' cons. It could change dramatically overnight, and is a grab bag in terms of lengths, shapes, and upkeep of signs/pin locators. That makes it great for those who can play it over and over, but not so friendly for first-timers like me. Overall, my biggest knock is that lack of multi-shot holes, but there were a couple really good ones and so many nice par-3s that I've awarded it an Excellent. It gave me the fun feeling of throwing creative lines in a beautiful environment.

A good amount of versatility on this course.
Good mixture of open shots and technical wooded shots.

Doesn't favor forehand or backhand, very approachable for any type of player.

Great hang areas around the pads. Very comfortable.

Certain holes can be scenic.

Inner 3 holes in between hole #6 and #7 are great. Add more shot variety.

Too many large groups who are not aware of the etiquette of letting smaller groups and single players play through.

Not a fan of the short pin on Hole #2. (Leave it at the bottom of the hill.)

Hole #1 can get swampy after a wet day/night.

Overall a solid course.

Would recommend playing early in the AM to avoid the large groups that frequent this course.

One of my favorites in the Nashville area.

Seven Oaks is an outstanding disc golf course. It has a great mix of open and wooded holes. The wooded holes force you to hit your lines on this course for sure. Some holes are long bomber holes while others are shorter ace runs. Lots of different uphill/downhill and left/right holes in the mix. Course doesn't seem to favor rightys or leftys, just a great mix throughout. Great course to road trip to and if you are near the area, this one is a must play. You definitely won't be dissapointed when playing this course! If you want to see this course on video, check out my crew playing this course (with Logan Bowers) in the video below...

(3.726 Rating) A heavily wooded course where comfort is paramount.
- CHILL AREAS - Some off the biggest lounge areas I've ever seen at the tee boxes. Most tees have at least two benches and a few have four of them. A few of these also have the large wood cable spindles taking on a second life as a table. The only course that I can think of in my travels that's done this aspect better, is River City Alpha DGC just northeast of Orlando Florida.
- DUEL BASKETS - There are two actual baskets on all 18 holes out here. I personally enjoy the idea of having two basket options to throw at. In general, but not always, a MachIII occupied the short placement and an orange powder coated MachV was affixed to the longer placement on my play. On top of this, a gazillion of other basket placements. I think I counted 8 placements on (14). I hope they change these regularly. That would get me to constantly come back if I were a local.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - With the double baskets noted above and also a few multi tees, this course will please a wide swath of skill levels, as long as the player enjoys technical holes.
- CHALLENGING - Back tee to back baskets are going to challenge most intermediate level players to stay pace with par. The front tees to front baskets seemed to me to be aligned to lower Recreational level.
- SHOT SHAPING - Any player that enjoys threading the needle with love this course. I personally thought that every hole had at least one basket placement with a plausible line. However, there are a few placements that are hokey. For example, the long basket placement on (13) has a wall of trees blocking the line 275 feet down fairway on a 350 foot hole.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - The first three holes were nothing to write home about, but once my playing partner and I got to tee (4) I started to get giddy. One beautiful hole after another from this point on. Holes (5), (6) and (16) were my favorites but I'm sure that if a poll were taken, a dozen holes would get named as one of the top three holes on the course. IMO, this course is right up there with Cedar Hill and Cane Ridge for the Nashville area's most beautiful course. Note, I haven't played Sharpe Springs which is another highly regarded course in terms of beauty.
- UNIQUENESS - Although mostly heavily wooded technical plays, I personally enjoyed the variety in the twists, distances and elevation change. There are a couple of legit par 4s out here on (14) and (18), a couple of parallel creek plays and a creek clear on (18). Missing features include a par 5 and an open bomber hole.
- BONUS HOLES - There's a three hole bonus loop that apparently can be played after (6). I personally didn't have time to play them but I've heard that they are of respectable quality.
- TEES - Average. A concrete surface in a mixture of sizes. The pads average about 5 foot by 10 foot in size.

Very few issues with Seven Oaks, but a few personal preferences.
- FORGIVENESS - There are a lot of tight lines out here. Ricochets in the wrong direction could be quite punishing as there are some substantial thicket areas. A few lines are comprised of cedar trees which swallow discs by growing into fairways after it senses a disc was released.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - As per the reasons stated above, this is not a good beginner's course. Way too technical for someone not accustomed to releasing a disc a precise point. I'd only recommend this course to someone who's thrown at least 50 rounds.
- FAIRWAY CROSS - The fairway to the deep basket on (13) and the pro tee line on (14) cross. The long basket on (13) should be removed, it's a bad basket placement anyways.
- TIME PLAY - Showing up at 6:30 in the morning is one way to beat the crowds here. My group of two finished in 90 minutes. Considering that the word on the street is that this place can get very crowded, I would not be surprised if four sums finish in 2 1/2 to 3 hours during prime times.

The fifth course I've bagged with DGCR member wericsson. He was whooping me through the first throw of the first hole, but it was all downhill for him after that. If as a group we ten bad breaks, he had nine of them. I was routinely not punished for bad throws. Oh well I'll take it. As for the course, I loved it. I'm a big fan of beautiful technical courses that let you relax at every tee and Seven Oaks solidly checked all those boxes. I'm not at all surprised that this course is popular. The course is very similar to places like the Sinks in Chattanooga and Bowers Park in Tuscaloosa. Seven Oaks however has more way more elevation than the Sinks, but slightly less elevation than Bowers. Overall to me, this course is a rating's tweener. I'd give it a 3.75 if I were allowed to do so. It's a great course.
- NAVIGATION - Adequate enough to not be frustrating, but not ideal. The signs are aging and could use a face lift. They have all the info you need on them; distances to each basket, artistic description of hole and next tee direction. There are pin placement indicators improvised into the metal posts, but they were only 75% accurate on my appearance. This method used screws which takes constant upkeep and the screws used can be dropped and lost. I thought the sign on (8) was especially confusing were wericsson and I both mistakenly assumed (17s) basket placement was (8s) short basket placement. After we both parked our drives, there was no way we were walking back to the tee. Star safari deuce! Oh wait, werricsson just missed his first putt and ended up 5 putting for a 6. Maybe we should have re-teed for his sake?

7 Oaks is my favorite course. I'm definitely biased having learned to play there, but IMO it's the ideal Southern disc golf course. In any form of golf, there should be a set path from the tee to the hole. A lot of courses, especially in the South, have wooded holes in which you are just throwing a disc and hoping it doesn't hit a tree. Not the case here.

*Great variety of short/technical and long bombs

*Solid tee pads and chains with places to sit down at every hole.

*Extra "secret holes" on the front nine to make a round of 21 if you so desire.

*Additional Pro Tee's at a number of holes

*Can get very crowded in the afternoons and on weekends

*Can be easy to lose a disc in the Spring and Summer when foliage is thick

Adequately sized concrete tees, with leveled gravel areas for added run up or overrun. Two baskets on most holes, and 2 to 5 pin placements (more for 14, but that was kinda screwy) per hole, excluding the supernumerary holes. All the numbered holes had color tee signs and pin position indicators.

Awesome layout. Holes 1-3 and 18 are half-open holes with light tree guarding, and all the rest are in the woods. With a few exceptions, there are clear, well-defined, but tight lines to each pin. Mid-range accuracy is a big deal, but most players will also have to buck up and throw some drivers with confidence in the woods to attack. There were no repeated holes; each felt unique.

Favorite holes were 5 (split fairway up the hill/along the hill, with pins at each) and 15 (fairway was a mostly dry, possibly intermittent, creek bed carved out of stone, with a deeper stream along the right edge).

Groundskeeping is excellent, especially considering just how much landscaping went into this course: retaining timbers, gravel, you name it wherever needed. Not at all the primitive sort of woods course.

Navigation was challenging, despite next tee locations being marked on the tee signs. Some arrows had been put out, but they had seemingly all come detached from their baskets at one end or the other or both. This course was much more fun for a second round than a first.

While the orange baskets were Mach V, the older grey baskets were old Mach IIIs. Given as the orange pins seemed to mostly be the more interesting locations, this suggests to me that they're the "main" pins on holes where present (which was not all), though I could be wrong.

A few holes missed the balance and veered off into poke and pray land: for example, to make it to the long pin on 13, you have about a six foot gap to hit, about 225 feet from the tee. For the trigonometrically inclined, this amounts to roughly a 1.5 degree wide window.

A few fairways ran right alongside each other: my playing partner and I played to 17 from 8's tee by mistake, I threw most of the way onto 2 from 18, etc. There were also cases of one hole throwing at the next tee.

Hole 14 was especially screwy in this regard, as the long tee throws across hole 13's green on a right bomber of a hole.

Tee signs were less detailed than ideal, and left a few head-scratching moments on my first play. Furthermore, the supernumerary holes had no tee signs (except III, which had the sad remnants of a former wooden sign), and on holes with multiple tees, only one had a sign.

Lovely course for locals/nearby players, I'm sure, but has enough issues at a first playthrough to make it less than top-tier as a destination course. Nonetheless, the quality of the holes made my 2.5 hour drive very much justifiable.

Woods have a higher proportion of hardwoods than the pine forests familiar from my experience in AL. My playing partner (wellsbranch250) took to informing me every time I hit a cedar tree, as through the sharp crack of defeat didn't give it away. From a playing perspective, this makes the rough less forgiving than high-canopied trees like pines.

Seven Hills is an excellent course. There is a good mix of holes that are wide-open grass fairways, and technically challenging wooded holes. It seems pretty neutral between right and left handed players. Most holes are fairly straight ahead from the tee box.

Hole 1 starts with a mando on either side of a swampy tree area. Do everything possible to keep your disc out of that area, because it's a muddy mess. Fairly easy to approach the hole in two, very easy to par. An orange hole was just added beyond the grey one if you prefer a longer distance.

Hole 2 is wide open. Hole is straight ahead.

Hole 3 has a small knoll in front of the tee. The hole is around the trees in the middle of the fairway. An orange hole was just added beyond the grey one if you prefer a longer distance.

Hole 4 curves to the left slightly. Better to throw a little left than to end up in the trees straight ahead. An orange hole was just added but is very close to the grey one. Not sure why they have two holes here.

Hole 5 is the first wooded hole. It's a challenge to throw over the hill. I prefer the left tee pad with the turf on it - it's a better angle to avoid hitting trees. Hole is up the hill and to the left a little.

Hole 6 is not just above hole 5, there is an abandoned tee pad there. Walk down the hill to the hole 6 tee pad. If you have a longer drive, this one might be easy to ace. Throw straight ahead.

Hole 7 is around the wooden wall from 6. This is where the course design starts to lose its direction. Hole is far ahead and to the right a little bit.

Hole 8 is extremely confusing. The holes are about 300 feet up, and then very hard right. There is a grey and orange hole. There is also a blue hole but that is for hole 17.

Hole 9 is hard to find. You basically have to walk through 17's fairway. Walk down to the creek and look for the benches on the right. Hole is straight and a little left. Very easy to get in 2 throws.

Hole 10 is to the right. Usually I skip 10-16 and turn back around to 17.

Hole 17 is straight ahead but there are many trees that make for a narrow fairway. Grey and blue holes, but fairly close together.

Hole 18 is to the right of 17's basket. It's a longer hole, wide open grass area past the tee pad. If you've got a long drive, now's your time to shine. An orange basket is on the left, grey is on the right and past the creek.

This course is fairly busy at all hours of the day. Saturdays are practically unplayable. More groups than individual players. There are benches at every hole if you don't mind waiting. There are cut-through trails if you want to jump ahead.

The layout of the holes isn't very intuitive and it takes a few times to learn where the tee box of the next hole is.

Tee boxes are rather small. They are paved, but surrounded by gravel which is easy to slip on. Hole 2's tee box especially is downhill into gravel, very easy to slip. Usually I just throw from the grass to the right of the tee box. I would prefer if the tee boxes were longer, level with the ground, and surrounded by grass instead of gravel.

It's a great course to play. Even though it is busy, everyone is very friendly. Players of all levels can enjoy playing here. I highly recommend it, especially to anyone visiting Nashville.

Nashville Disc Golf Store is also very close by in case you need some new discs!

Not lots more I can say about layout, baskets, distances, navigation or upkeep. Lets just agree that they have been covered. Grandson (13) and I were on a disc golf road trip from Illinois an this was one he picked out to play. It was everything he wanted!!! Fun location, nice friendly locals, a good selection of holes, lots of fun terrain, and I could go on. This was the star course we played of the ones he picked. This is a solid, established course and I would agree the premier course to play in Nashville.

Not many cons, Tpads are a bit small but grip well, There are several old cable spools that had been used for tables. Great Idea but some have fallen apart and there are other small build items that need attention or replaced. For as busy as the course is not much trash on course but all the cans were pretty full (must be a monday-friday when they empty them).

The over steroided guy that had to express himself after every shot so that everyone within 5 holes in front and back could hear him clearly, should slow his roll. Dude you are going to have a stroke!!!

Nashville Disc Golf Thanks for a great course!!!

Many Technical Holes: Once you start entering the woods at #4, almost every hole involves hitting a well-defined line through a wooded fairway. The distances are not too long, offering some potential ace runs and many rewarding shots. As I said before, the fairways through the woods are incredibly well-defined, with no underbrush encroaching into the fairway. Several holes have large, mature trees in the fairway, putting some obstacles in the way. ACCURACY IS CRITICAL!!!

Hole Variety: With the above being said, this course still offers a lot of different looks to the thrower. There are a few open holes with minimal obstacles where long bombs can be thrown. The wooded holes force the thrower to use every disc in the bag, or at least use different throwing styles (backhand, forehand, hyzer, anhyzer, etc.) throughout. Additionally, every hole has at least two pin placements, with some having up to five. I believe I also saw some alternate turf teepads on some holes.

Course "Extras": This course has all the extras that make playing a round much more enjoyable. Every teepad is a permanent concrete slab, and in good shape. Basically every teepad has a bench. The signs on the teepad accurately show the different basket locations. There are several erosion-control measures throughout the woods, preserving the course and keeping it orderly. The small creeks throughout the course have bridges for easy crossing. There's even a wall protecting #7's teepad from overzealous throws at #6.

Beautiful Course: The course is beautiful. It is good to play in the summer, as the trees provide lots of shade throughout the course. There are several little creeks running through it that are flowing in the springtime. The leaves turn spectacular colors in the fall. There are some massive exposed rocks that add a different touch than the trails throughout most of the wood. This course is a great example of how a scenic wooded area can be transformed into an excellent course without losing its natural beauty.

***These cons really only apply to someone who isn't very familiar with the course. However, they are still worth noting, and if they were fixed I would add another 0.5 to my rating.

Course Navigation: Most times, the course flow is intuitive from hole-to-hole. However, there are a couple places where the flow is not intuitive, such as from #8 to #9 or from #16 to #17. Additionally, there are a couple places where holes bleed into each other, namely #8/#17, #13/#14-long. #8, #9, #16, #17, and #18 all invade each other to some degree. I couldn't find Holes I-III, but that did not detract from my experience. Again, these are not problems if you know the course well, but they can be confusing for a first timer or someone who hasn't played the course in a while.

Multiple Baskets on Many Holes: When I played, every hole had a grey basket. Most holes had an orange basket. One hole had a blue basket instead of an orange basket. On the sign at each teepad, it appeared that the grey basket was the one marked as in-play. If there was a way to mark that both baskets are in play, then this becomes less of an issue; however, it would be less confusing if there was only one basket per hole. Preferably the orange baskets, as they are more visible in the woods.

This is Nashville's most popular course, and it has the pedigree to match. If you are looking for a course with a more classic, established feel, this is the place for you. It is probably not the best place for a beginner, but once you have driver accuracy under control it becomes a lot more fun!

super fun course that rewards a variety of shots. The course can get technical but it allows for a number of options on each hole. The character of this place is great. It feels like a disc golf village.

can be tricky to navigate

I love the seating areas around the pads

Most baskets marked, almost all tees marked, logical layout, concrete pads, clean, variety of wooded/open fairways, multiple baskets and tees for many holes

A little busy. No course map at the first tee. 13 has an alternate tee and basket. There is never a sign pointing you to the next tee, but it it's usually pretty logical, just not between 12 and 13. 14 is currently missing its tee marker.

Great topography, beautiful setting, etc.

So poorly marked I only played about eight holes. (the start is from the north btw) They have multiple basket on most holes and most are there, but some aren't. So you might be playing to one that just isn't there. This could be one of the great courses...... my recommendation to you is take someone you usually can't beat, cause if your both playing to a basket that's not there you stand a better chance.......

If you can get to know this course you would probably love it. But if you can only go there once, try to follow somebody or something.

Seven oaks is one of the highest maintained courses in the area. 20+ years of service from the community to make it the cleanest and most well kept course in middle Tennessee. This course sports multiple layouts up to a 30 hole lay out, as well as now the Oaks Gold layout which is a championship level layout.

Oaks is also now sporting all new Innova DiscCatchers as well as the new putting garden with DiscCatchers as well.

As of late 2022, all Teepads should be redone as well after the annual work party.

The biggest complaint I hear about is the erosion control around the course. This shouldn't be on your mind, but people like to make excuses about anything they can for a bad game.

This is an older course, so you're shot challenges are going to be different than some of the newer style courses featuring more open or longer holes.

This is top destination course for the Nashville area offering good golf and a lot of good people to play with. If you're looking to join the community and get involved, this is the place to start that journey.

Good selection of varying holes to test your game. Navigation around course was decent and all but a few holes had signs up showing the multiple pads and pin placements available. Multiple baskets available on most holes. Close proximity to the airport so a good stop if dropping off someone for a flight which is what I was doing.

Grass needed to be mowed on the wide open first few holes. There are different type baskets and colors used throughout the course with no consistency on one color being the front versus back basket. Silver and red baskets both used.

Nice course for sure. Worth stopping by if traveling through the area. If living in the area this would be a course played often.

- Fun array of throws: long/short, right/left, up/down. This course had them all!
- Dual pins and some dual pads add a lot of replay value
- Benches on every(?) hole and some walls put up to protect from errant throws

- None of the holes really WOWed me, I'm not sure I could identify a signature hole
- Tee pads were super slippery and the steel baskets were not my favorite (Mach 2 I think)

- It was pretty quiet when I went but I could see this course getting busy.
- One hole has a yin-yang around the baskets. Love the thought!

Mature, great local scene, good degree of difficulty, fair everywhere, Nashville disc golf store is close.

Busy, busy... busy?

It's a classic of middle Tennessee. One of the more iconic courses and always a good time to be had. Close to downtown and other great courses.
