After thought
Pros: Plenty of space. Variety of wooded and open holes. Well kept. Challenging tree lines on most open holes. No crowd. Signs are awesome.
Cons: Right next to a small skate park (nothing against skaters, it's just loud). Long walk to 1st/ or from last hole. I think some of the open holes could have been extended towards the next tee to make it more worth the long walks.
Other Thoughts: Not in an easy location to get to, unless you live around Shelbyville. There was plenty of people around, but no one playing DG. Pretty easy to play, if you don't mind walking.
Report this Review
Pros: I'm new and this course has made me a better technical thrower and I enjoy the organized layout they have it's perfect for beginners and still decent for ams to.
Cons: Don't go on busy weekends it gets to packed sometimes you got to shout our fore on hole 6 fairway cause children like walking in the woods. The walks from 16 to 17 is a little long
HV Griffin Pros: This course was quick and fun to play as a newbie. I tossed 2 birdies today. Best game I have played to date. Final 1 over par. Good course for beginners. A decent mix of open baskets and semi-technical baskets. The signs were very helpful and accurate.
Cons: Very, very crowded. Basket 1- soccer practice, Basket 11- cheerleading practice, Basket 17 and 18- football practice. People everywhere. So much room yet they practice in the fairways and use the baskets as water cooler holders. Play at the wrong time and you will have to pass up a few baskets.
Other Thoughts: Overall it was a fun place to play. I will play there again. I would not want to have driven a long way to play this course and find 4 baskets unplayable. Timing is everything on this course.
great trainer course 
Pros: short accurate shots in the woods and a couple of real crunchers for the big arms. i love it! quick and easy to play a couple of rounds. nice baskets signs and tee pads. bathrooms, drink machines with gatorade and other various sodas.
Cons: could usea a few pro pads on a few of the back 9. there are a few "stupid" walks to the next tee on the back. hole #1 is poorly designed since i never know if there is going to be carnival,a soccer game or some other function going on directly in the "fairway"
Other Thoughts: since most people in this area didn't know this game exists, this is a fantastic starter course to expose the locals to.

decent course
Pros: its a nice little course with a slight difficulty rating because of the trees. the concrete pads are nice. the entire course is new so all of the signs and baskets are in great shape.
Cons: at times there can be tons of people just around at the pavilions and a lot of them dont speak english..... and they have a megaphone...... kinda distracted me. this course is fairly short so dont expect to spend a lot of time here. a couple of holes cross heavily populated areas. you might have to skip a few holes. there is a lot of cedar trees... dont throw your disc high it will be lost forever.
Other Thoughts: a nice course... a little loud at times worth a short trip but if you are more than half an hour away you might not want to go.

good for beginners or those improving there game
Pros: As of 4/4/09 this course now has signs up at each tee. Each sign tells you the distance from tee to basket and the direction of the next tee. Signs look very nice and some work has been put into them. Hope they stay in good shape
Cons: Not a good course for pros as most of the shots are short for the exception of the 1st tee and #17.
The first tee and the basket are also separated by a soccer field which means if it is in use you'll probably have to skip it and go to tee#2 to start also beware this is in a park and you'll have to watch for people walking in the woods who are totally unaware of you or see you but have no idea why your standing there on a concrete pad holding a "frisbee".

Nice for a quicky 
Pros: This is a great beginner course with a little challenge peppered all around. Don't let the short distances fool you. Although ace opportunities are abundant, there are also plenty of trees and they can make you work for birdies if you are not careful. The atmosphere is really nice and the trees and rocky areas are a great place for a somewhat scenic round. While there are not many drastic elevation changes there is a good mix of slight doglegs left and right. I found myself taking some time to plan a good route. Sometimes I chose a riskier path and paid big with a couple extra throws. Other times it paid off with a nice reward. There are some good placements of baskets with nice looks but some are tucked in some tormenting locations adding to the challenge. There are a few open holes mixed in as well for a break from the trees. There are a few longer holes mixed in, most notably number 17 and 18. Overall this is a fun little course that you can breeze through in an hour or so.
Concrete tee pads are always a nice feature and these have hole numbers painted on them. The course is easy to follow even without any signs and flowed quite well. The baskets seemed basically brand new and had no damage. The practice basket near hole number one also gives you a chance to warm up.
This is a great course to bring the family along, especially if you have younger children. I think the shorter holes help build the confidence of a younger or new player nicely. I like the fact that there are courses here and there designed with families in mind but still offer a degree of difficulty to pacify an experienced player as well. This course seemed to do both quite well.

Cons: There is a lack of amenities including but not limited to signs, onsite info kiosk, trash cans, and benches.
Most if not all pro players, namely those that prefer a long course, will probably be disappointed with the shorter holes. This is especially true because as noted by some previous reviewers, a few of the holes could have been designed with a little more distance. Nevertheless, the course serves its purpose well.

Other Thoughts: Barfield Crescent DGC is 20 minutes down the road and right off of I-24. It's worth a stop to play both if you are in the area.
I played this course after a few days of steady rain. There was lots of running and standing water all around. A local that I played with told me that the creek beds are normally dry. There was heavily flowing water while I was there. I say all that to say that if you are in the area after heavy rain then this is a totally different course. With the water hazards in play it added positively to some of the holes. They were not without an annoyance on others though. The water was too deep and wide to cross at most points with no bridges close enough to make it convenient to cross. This is compounded by the fact that the fairways cross back and forth the water quite often.

Pros: As mentioned by others this course is a good test of wooded accurracy and midrange creativity. With tee signs this would be an even better course.
Cons: Lack of signs.
Other Thoughts: Wow. I guess the other posters must throw every drive 500 ft. and are "bored" with the intracacy of midrange accuracy. This course is not the best I have ever played, but it at least rates a "good" rating. And I think we should tell Shelbyville to pull the course out of the ground because it is "too far out of the way" WHAT? This course has some maturing to do but allows for great creativity and a fun round in an age of "hey lets put a basket 1000 ft. away in an open field and throw at it"

There is potential, but... 
Pros: Tee Pads and baskets are in great shape since the course is new. There are bathrooms fairly close. Park is easy to find. Slight elevation changes add to the difficulty slightly.
Cons: There are no signs. There are no maps. I would go so far as to say that 60% of the holes are a 200 feet long, slight anhyzer through trees. Lots of wasted space on the course. Hole #1 tees off from one side of a soccer field and crosses two childrens soccer fields to a pin tucked in the woods. If there is a game going on, or even a practice, you will not be able to play hole #1. A few long walks between holes and that can be difficult to handle without a map. Course is very, very, very short.
Other Thoughts: The park is nice. There is a lot going on in this park: softball fields, soccer fields, baseball fields, an indoor athletic center, playgrounds, tennis courts, pavilions for picnincs and family reunions. In short, I could see this being a very busy place, and if it is busy there will be a couple of dangerous throws. One pin is situated about 50 feet from the playground. An errant approach or a renegade child, and someone could get hurt. We were there on a quiet afternoon so we didn't have much trouble.
My main pet peeve was that this park still had plenty of empty land that we walked through while playing the course. I don't mind short holes if that is what the land requires, but this park had plenty of space that was untapped. One example. There was a hole where we walked about 200 feet up a slight hill to the next tee. The hole was about 210 feet up this hill and barely tucked into the woods. If the tee box had been closer to the prior hole, this could have been a 410 feet slightly uphill hole to a pin tucked slightly into the woods. Option two could reduce the "pin-next tee" walk as well as add a little distance and challenge to the course. The last two holes were kind of nice because they were long and open and different from the first 16. However, I just got the feeling like they designed this course and then got to hole 17 and thought..."it's too short". Then they added two wide open 450-550 feet holes to finish the course. Also on the last two holes there was a tree by the pin, but neither tree was set as an obstacle because the tree on each hole was directly behind the pin. Instead of having to throw around the tree or navigate under the limbs, the pin just sat right in front on both holes.
Bottom line is that this park has potential for a magnificent course, but it would take a nearly complete redesign. Signs and maps for navigational purposes is a must.

Pros: Nice setting among trees and rocks with some gentle elevation. There are 18 concrete tees. There are fantastic large color maps of each hole beside the tee. This also makes finding the next tee much easier as well.
The course provides ace runs and numerous birdie chances with many holes under the 200' mark. The wooded holes are pretty short for today's norms, but require accuracy and distance control. There are 5 holes that are pretty much wide open around the 275'-325' range to provide a chance to air out a longer drive. This is a fantastic course for shorter throwers, beginners, families, etc.
Even though this is an easier course than most of others in Middle TN, I still enjoy playing this one to work on my short game.

Cons: A couple of minor design issues (I just deal with these when playing, but it does keep it from a lower rating than courses that don't have these issues):
- Hole #1- it is played over a soccer field/baseball field (the soccer nets when in season do provide an interesting obstacle!), but it would be unplayable if a team was playing/practicing. I have had to skip this hole a couple of times now.
-The long walk from #12 to #13 (from one set of woods to another), but the other option of putting a hole there would have been just a boring long open hole, so I think the right decision was made.
-#18 ends somewhat close to the car and hole #1, but you can tell with #17 and #18 the designer was desperately trying to get the course to come back to car somehow!!!
A few navigational issues as well, but these have been improved with the new giant tee signs, paths are starting to wear in. There are a couple spots where the next tee is not in the obvious direction you might think and some have a longer walk than compared to the other holes. Hole #10 is past the dumpster, hole #13 is to the right across the field towards the back woods area.
The signs say the tees are Am tees. I don't know if Pro tees are in the future plans, but I don't see where there is room for them if so.
And for those that want to know, there are currently not any benches or trashcans.

Other Thoughts: The designer did a nice job with the land that was available, there are 2 groups of holes in 2 separate wooded areas. However, the long open holes appear to be "thrown in" to get from one to the other and to and from the parking lot.
Good for beginners and those with a shorter range of distance on their drives.
Park at the rec. center. Hole 1 is across the street beside the walking trail near the park entrance. There is a kiosk with a color course map and a practice basket. The rec. center did have a few dozen discs for sale behind the counter.
It is relatively close to Barfield and Henry Horton. Playing these 3 in a day would make for a decent day of DG and you would not have to throw your arm off to play all 54 holes.
