Pros: This 18 hole course plays through a nice park setting and has a mix of open and wooded holes. (50% wooded & 50% open). The course, for the most part flows quite nicely and loops back for 9 or 18 holes. The 9 hole loop is all open and has paved pathways all the way up to the basket making this the first wheelchair accessible course that I have played. The 18 hole loop breaks off of the 9 in various spots and enters the woods.
Baskets show a bit of weathering but nothing that is out of the ordinary. All are cemented firmly in the ground and none are jankety. Concrete tee pads are all quite large with the exception of a few smaller ones in the woods.
Tee signs are spectacular and show the hole number for the easy 9 and the advanced 18 on each sign. They show obstacles nicely including trees and water hazards where applicable. Benches were available every 2-3 holes and trash cans were plentiful as well. Course was extremely clean, fairways well defended, either by trees or paths and the locals were friendly as well.
Elevation mainly comes into play in the wooded holes but number 9/18 is one of the best uses. 370' downhill wide open. Wooded holes have a strong emphasis on accuracy over distance with some holes forcing you to be very meticulous with your shot placement. Also, the wooded holes play on top of large flat rocks which is a nice feature that is not found on every course. Straight, open, wooded, hyzer and anhyzer shots are all needed to excel on this course.
Water comes into play on 2 holes and are fair. Hole 3Easy/3Advanced has a small pond right before the well defined green forcing a layup or go for it approach off the tee. Hole 7 Advanced has a tee shot over a small pond. Not too large, maybe 70' to the far edge, but just knowing it is there is enough to throw someone off.
This is a large multi use park and there are many other things to do here with playgrounds, ball fields, pavilions, rest rooms, drinking fountains and appear to be dog friendly. Easy directions with signs to Barfield Park from a few miles away really helped and within the park, signs for disc golf were easy to spot. The parking lot was large and could accommodate maybe 20+ cars. With other lots around as well, shortage of parking should be no issue.

Cons: There is not much that is bad about this course that I can say but there are two things that stick out in my mind.
1. From 16's pin, you have to walk back up the hill you just threw down to get to 17's tee pad. I did not see a direct route so we ended walking up 17's fairway, just to throw down it again. Seems like an easy fix would be for arrows nailed to the trees to direct you to the next pin.
2. There were a few holes that were too wooded for my liking. I enjoy playing on wooded courses but some were just too much. Only 2-3 holes were like this so it was not a huge deal but a few holes could be trimmed up and still have a nice wooded course.

Other Thoughts: This is a course I would love to play again. Only 5 minutes off the highway, it was a good stopping point during a small road trip to stretch for a few hours. Not much variety is offered for restaurants except for asian food. A bit more offered on the other side of the highway.

Barfield Crescent Park Pros: Very Clean park. The maps at each tee were in great shape. Easy acess to the park and to the course.
Cons: Cement surrounding each basket in the front 9 will eat up a disk quickly.
Other Thoughts: I had only a little of daylight left to play. I got the first 9 in and it was too dark to play the back half. Front half, was well groomed, clean and great for beginners.

Excellent Pros: Great place for beginners and pros alike. In my opinion the cleanest park in middle Tennessee.
Cons: The wooded holes are almost unreasonable, especially if the pins are placed farthest from the tee.
Other Thoughts: Do not speed in the parking lot, cops are always all over this place. Also my 2nd favorite place to play in middle Tennessee.

amazing course
Pros: this is such a beautiful course. it is well maintained. mowed every morning. it has concrete paths leading to each hole that is in the open. lots of beautiful plants and trees in the front nine area. baskets are in great shape. concrete tees on each hole. a tournament is held the last saturday of every weekend also. this course is well worth the trip from any point in tennessee. the wilderness store is a little ways down the road from the course just in case you need a spare disc. the rocks add a nice touch to some of your throws.
Cons: there tends to be a lot of people. it gets slick and muddy when it is wet. the rocks can be hazardous to your discs... i know from experience.
Other Thoughts: my personal favorite course

Fun Course Pros: Very good disc golf can be played here. Good distances and a lot of tight holes once you get to the woods. A lot of shots will be used on this course.
Cons: Sometimes they take a long time to mow the grass and they keep adding trees and a lot of holes would be hard to find for beginners on the last 8 holes because of the lack of signage.
Other Thoughts: Good course to learn to play. Lots of fun with big groups and usally not too craowded.

Fun little course
Pros: Very well kept. They are constantly planting new trees and brush to make the first 9 holes more challenging (which was needed). Good course for beginners, because nearly all of the holes are fairly short (250ft-350ft). Well placed OB's that add some difficulty. COLD water fountains and well kept bathrooms.
Cons: Concrete around baskets which causes discs to skip away from the basket. Usually crowded with newer players who haven't quite grasped the etiquette of the game. Watch out for players driving at the basket while you're still putting!
Other Thoughts: This is probably the most fun course to play in the area.
