Pros: good balance of easy and challenging holes, nice baskets, concrete tee pads, multiple tees and different basket positions

Cons: creeks can take your discs, almost always windy, the need to put up new bridges

Other Thoughts: nice coarse would recommend to everyone.

Pros: -Biggest pro: the benches are very big and nice.
-Unique nipple baskets, I call them. Explained more in the cons section.
-Holes 5 and 8 are pretty cool.
-The course flow is okay. It's wide-open enough to not cause much congestion.
-Restrooms available.

Cons: -Elevated baskets. There were two holes where the baskets were elevated about 7 feet from the ground. They will cost you some stokes.
-Course design is poor with little elevation changes, and little shot variety is offered.
-Very few unique holes.
-Fairways are not clearly defined on most holes. You are generally throwing into a wide open field.
-Zero trash cans.
-The tees could be a little longer and wider for the big throws you must make.

Other Thoughts: This just seems like a bad spot to put a disc golf course. The park is nice and all, but throwing across open fields with little obstacles is not much fun. Bring a long arm to the course and some stable discs b/c of all the wind. It was windy that day and I hear it is a lot of the time. Parking is adequate. The baskets are in decent shape, but I do not like the large yellow bands at the top.

Pros: The course is layed out pretty well given the area they had to put the course in. There are a few really really nice holes to test your skills with the disc. Hole 5 is a big anny spike unless you have a sidearm that will cut hard. It is on top of a hill and the basket is tucked in the woods to your right a good distance away. The trick is it's almost a horseshoe shot. You have to go high and wide to make the cut around the trees to just give yourself a upshot for par. It's wayyyyyyy tougher than it sounds for sure. I was lucky enough to three it myself! Hole 8 is also pretty tricky as it's a low ceiling over a creek with a mando tree making you go right of the tree. Just after the creek and tree is a field with the basket WAYYYYYY to the left. This again will require a major "cut" of the disc just after the tree. Holes 2 and 14 are both elevated which makes for some fun putting with all of the wind in the area. All and all this course will test how well you can control your disc in the wind with a bunch of OB to punish you if you can't throw correctly.

Cons: There wasn't very many (if any) trash cans in the area. Course badly needs tee signs on poles to let you see where the next box is. I could see on a few holes where you would have no clue which way to go after playing a hole because there is only a concrete block in the ground with a tee sign laying/placed somewhere near by. All in all there isn't really a whole lot I have to say bad about the course.

Other Thoughts: If you are in the area playing this course you should take the short drive down to Hartselle and play Sparkman park as well. It's worth the drive if you find yourself in this part of AL.

Pros: This is a links style course set in a very large sports complex next to the soccer fields. Unfortunately much of the course feels as though you are throwing out in the middle of a soccer field. Like every previous reviewer pointed out, there's very little in the way of shade, so bring water. The wind was a factor the day I played. It sounds like it always is. Many baskets were placed close to creeks and streets adding to the overall challenge. The teepads provide for a nice runoff. I could've used about 300 ft. teepads on this course. I did see something here I've never seen before, some of the tee signs were screwed onto to large benches. Good idea guys. The course was pretty easy to navigate. The park and course was extremely clean and vandalism free.

Cons: I found this course almost totally lacking in personality. The only hole I really enjoyed was the one throwing a hyser across the creek (ditch?) where you have to keep it low under the branches. I played early in the morning so the Alabama sun wasn't a factor but the wind and the boredom was. Much of this course reminded me of some of more boring holes on the U of A Huntsville course.

Other Thoughts: My one true moment of excitement on this course was when some park maintenance men found a baby snapping turtle and showed me. My first Bama snapper!

Pros: A long open course great for working on your drives/approaches. OB streets/water come in to play, especially with the constant wind. Tournament play here can be outstanding with we placed rope OB. If you want to work on your wind game pick a breezy day and head to this course!

Cons: Only suitable for players who love wide open courses. Lack of trees/shade can make for grueling rounds during the summer time.

Other Thoughts: There are two elevated pin placements on this course.

Pros: A fun course to work on your long drives. There area lots of long, mostly open holes with OB (roads, sidewalks and a creek) present on many holes.

The tee pads are great, there's good signage, and some very nice benchs next to some of the pads.

When I was last there, pin extensions were used on two holes raising the basket 6ft off the ground. Definitely a fun addition which adds a new dimension and challenge to the course.

Cons: This course lacks shot variety. In fact, there is only one type of shot needed on most holes; long!

There is virtually no shade which is a problem due to how hot it gets in the summer so bring lots of water.

There are few birdie possibilities here because most of the holes are so long.

Other Thoughts: This is a fun course to work on your long drive and up shots. If that's not what you're looking for, I recommend playing some of the great courses in Huntsville.

Pros: This is a great course if you like to go out and rip drives. There are good DISCatcher baskets, tee signs, and good long concrete tee pads on every hole. A lot of holes do have benches and the course does loop back to the start near the half way point. Most of the holes have multiple pin placements. The design is good considering what they have to work with, with a lot of OB and wind being the main culprits. The park is well maintained, with a small, but hard working local club. Improvements are constantly being made to the course.

Cons: The course can play long and tough for newer players, with a lot of walking and not a lot of shade. Bring plenty of water during the summer months. Last I remember, a couple of holes along the back side could use some benches. There are a lot of tweener holes for pro level players with no chances for a 2 and little chance for a 4, but the wind and the OB can still require smart and accurate shots. Newer players may consider it a con to throw their drive as far as they can just to walk up to it and throw it as hard as they can again, but this course is not designed for them. Those players should not go to this course expecting everything to be a par 3, when some of the holes were meant to be played as par 4 or 5.

Other Thoughts: The basic premise of the course is that there are not a lot of trees, but there are 2 large ditches and a creek filled with water, as well as the park road and a side walk playing as OB. Most holes do not have enough obstacles to force you to shape a certain shot off the tee, but the OB does force an accurate, and usually long shot in order to score well at this course. Although the course does play tough for the newer players, the lack of obstacles does allow them to come to this course and hone their driving skills and placement shots. If this sounds like a course you are interested in, then it is definitely worth a stop.

Pros: I like this course when no one is there because I can let my dog run free with NO chance of her getting lost. Large open fields, few obstructions.

Course is well maintained.

Cons: If your looking for interesting angled shots and tight turns, scenery, or shade. This is not the one for you.

Other Thoughts: If your a beginner like me, your going to hate this. throwing 10 times just to get the distance to the basket is very aggravating.. Especially in hot Alabama with no shade trees.

Pros: If you enjoy ripping drives you'll enjoy this course. Its wide open ( There's maybe 4 holes where trees come into play) with roads and pathways to mark OB. Its a good use of the land, occupying almost every possible aspect. During tournament play they come up with some nice OB adjustments and a great last hole (combining their 18th and 19th holes) turning it into a tough par 5.

Cons: The course is long but its not difficult. Holes are just long enough to where there aren't more than 4 or 5 holes where a deuce is possible but those that are long aren't quite par 4 worthy. It has a lot of "tweener" holes where tournament scores generally don't have much seperation because its hard to get 2s but just as hard to get 4s.

Other Thoughts: I've played this course a couple of times in tournament play and this course is all about consistency. Distance helps but isn't necessary. if you throw 300 or 400 you can shoot about the same score. If you throw over 500 you may have a few more birdie opportunities but winds and OB will become big factors. Its a fun course to go play if you just wanna bomb some drives. If you play it in the summer bring lots of water, cause our Alabama summers plus no shade = HOT.

Pros: Links style course with easily visible targets. OBs are reasonable and fairly easy to avoid when played smart. Targets are new and the course is meticulously maintained.

Cons: Control is key to mastering this course. There are several holes where water is a factor and even a seasoned pro can find themselves in some trouble. The open nature of the course along with the long fairways does not bode well for new players or someone with a short arm. Rollers are only an option on a few holes where OB is not an issue.
