Pros: 1) Outstanding amount of elevation change. There are all sorts of different holes from downhills, to uphills, sidehills, up and over hills, etc etc etc. There are some gentle rolling hills and some extreme elevation changes.
2) Plenty of benches and garbage cans available on this course.
3) Incredible property with tons of room for disc golf and plenty of other activities. Just driving to this place I could tell it was going to be great.
4) Practice basket is available for before the round.
5) Old DGA baskets with number plates seem to be standing up to time in the woods.
6) I love technical courses in the woods, especially with some short aceruns. It really is a lot of fun to play because you can make a lot of birdies, but you can also get punished with a couple bad kicks. Either way I love tight technical courses like this.
7) The variety is actually pretty good, although it is mostly tight technical and wooded.
8) The distance variation is pretty good for a short course, but it is pretty much just typical par 3 disc golf. There are holes in the 100's, 200's and 300's but this course is all about technicality, not distance. The woods also make these holes play much differently than just their distance.
9) I would say this course is adequate for beginner friendliness. It is short enough that beginners can still recover from a tree hit but it will also show the beginners what the game can provide.

Cons: 1) I wish the DGA baskets had a powder-coated top or something because they are so tough to see on densely wooded courses like this.
2) This course was relatively short, and it would be really tough to make much longer truthfully. There is so much elevation change and so many trees it would be devastating to make the course any longer than it is.
3) Compaction or at least erosion is taking its toll here because of the elevation. There also seems to be a whole lot of drainageways due to the elevation changes. These areas naturally are becoming eroded.
4) Road comes into play on a handful of holes. It adds more variety to the course, but at the expense of safety (for the vehicle at least). I wish this type of scenario could be avoided without sacrificing quality on the course.

Other Thoughts: This course was a lot of fun. It was challenging, yet birdies were plentiful. You have to execute your lines to get close but that is always so rewarding when you do. The variety was surprisingly good for a wooded park because they used the roadway areas for a handful of holes. I would always prefer that roads do not come into play, but they did make the disc golf more enjoyable. I also didn't have any issue with vehicles while I played.
I enjoyed talking to my fellow disc golf road-tripper Larry Clifford Kirk who called while I was playing this course. I was a little surprised my cell phone worked out there because it feels like you are truly in the middle of nowhere, but I suppose Tupelo is actually a fairly big city.

Great course for confidence
Pros: Most holes are short and many offer excellent birdie and / or ace opportunities. Holes are well marked, laid out and it is easy to find the next tee. Incredibly clean and well maintained. Easy access to parking and facilities. Twists and turns in the woods require some technical skill. I threw my lowest score to date on this course. It is a great confidence builder.
Cons: There are strange orange cylinders sticking up out of the end of the tee pads. They can be intimidating when trying to throw. There is a park day use fee of $3.00, but it is well worth it.
Other Thoughts: Overall, this is an excellent course, especially if you want to prove you can make some legitimate birdies.
