Pros:
• Awesome variety of holes
• Only course in Midtown
• Usually not crowded
• Scenic year-round
• Elevation!
Cons:
• No facilities/water fountains
• Not a beginner course (I say that because there's more than a few holes that play very close to the water, and there are many places to lose a disc without even trying)
• No signage, no map - the only thing that would qualify are the tee stones. Unless you're willing to spend a while learning the course by means of wandering, consider asking to tag along with someone who's played it before.
Other Thoughts:
Strange mix of urban and woods out here. No round is boring and you see something new every time. There's nothing I can really add that hasn't been said already so I'll try to just keep this to impressions and throw in some tips -
My personal favorite in Mobile. the front 9 has a few long bombers and - the real treat - ELEVATION. Holes 7 - 10 crisscross the big field, then the rest of the back 9 is more like other Mobile courses with shorter, tighter holes among the trees.
Many weekends there are volleyball players in the big field rendering 1 & 6 risky to play.
There are a few blind shots - good fun and nerve-wracking
No bag holders (if that's your thing), only two benches, at tees 3 and 4, and just a couple garbage bags/can on the front 9, none on the back.
The creek is a near constant threat, but hey, no hazards at all can get boring. The biggest drawback is its seasonal status - though I could see how that and the total lack of signage could be done by design - if you made it too nice it'd get too crowded. I give it 3.5 simply because of its seasonal status (its biggest drawback), and its lack of facilities/amenities). That being said, its precisely that bare-bones nature that adds a lot of charm to the place - it doesn't need all the extras, and if the course had them it'd probably be worse for it anyway.
Recently the course has undergone a slight reconfiguration on the back 9 - holes 11 and 16 no longer use the same basket, 2 new holes have been marked, and 18 has been relabeled as a practice basket due to complaints from a property owner nearby.
