Pros: Mostly wide open. A pleasant pastoral landscape...a little pond, a creek, horses and a barn nearby, some really old trees. Holes have recently gotten some tee signs....still grass tee pads...but at least now you know where the designer intended you to throw from. Great for beginners... or just to go and practice your short game. Plus, it's one of the closest courses to my house.
Cons: No tee pads. Not maintained too well...the grass is long and the terrain is pretty bumpy in spots. It is way too short for skilled players and lacks a good variety of shots.
Other Thoughts: The new sign at Hole 1 says this is a pitch-n-putt course only...saying that only putters are allowed to be thrown due to the proximity of neighbors and what not. A couple of holes do come very close to a building or two. When I play here...I often like to make up my own tees to suite my skill level. Hole 1 is way more fun if you play it over the pond...it offers a good risk/reward shot. I have lots of alternate spots for the other holes too...which make this course actually pretty cool. There is plenty of room to expand this to an 18 Hole course or maybe just have Am and Pro tees for the 9 Hole layout. From the looks of it though...I'd guess that the church likes it the way that it is...very beginner-friendly..and you could just play it with a frisbee if you wanted to. Besides..I doubt they would want the traffic it would see if it was a good enough course to be a draw for local disc golfers. Fine with me though...it's pretty much my own private practice course...I've yet to see anyone else playing here.

Fellowship Bible Church Course 
Pros: This is a pretty basic nine hole course on a large church campus. You'll find a couple of creative holes based on the fact that there wasn't a lot to work with. The highlight of the course was defiantly the first four holes. Holes one and two were in my opinion the best on the course. Hole one has some moderate distance and the fairway is open for ¾ of the way. It then has some mature trees and water to overcome to get to the green. Two plays along and across the creek with a few late trees as obstacles. Three is an open shot that again plays along and across a creek. Hole four deserves a mention being that its basket is protected by some large evergreens and gives the feeling that you are playing into a cave. The rest play mostly open with a tucked basket on eight and a few trees as obstacles.
Even without tee signs it is easy to navigate this course. The numbers on the baskets face what would be the tee boxes and give you a general idea of where the designer intended them to be.
I thought the old stone foot bridge crossing the creek on one was kind of a nice feature.
Good for beginners or a quick lunch round if you live in the area.

Cons: The course is missing one of the most basic necessities, tee pads! I did find bricks lying on the grass on two holes but they were sort of scattered and it was hard to tell if they were there for that purpose or not. As you might imagine, there is also no tee signs either.
The grass was well cut on a few of the holes (1,2,4,and 9) but the other holes play out in a field that is obviously not an area that is going to get a lot of attention. The grass is 12" tall in those areas and the ground is uneven and not very pleasurable to walk through.
The biggest con for me? The big snake on hole one under the foot bridge. It made walking though the tall grass a little distracting on the other holes.

Other Thoughts: This is about the most basic disc golf course as you'll ever find. In fact it is no more than a field with a small creek and nine baskets. If ever there are tee pads and signs installed with some decent maintenance this would be a decent little 9 holer.
There seems to be plenty of room to add even another pad per hole. Being that it is on church property I would put in some really short pads for the younger players and then figure out how to lengthen the original pads for the advanced players.
For fun I played from the top of the hill using the road as a tee pad on hole two. It created a nice downhill shot which is otherwise missing from this course.
With the other courses in the area it will be hard to convince yourself to be a repeat customer at this course. With that said, if you are trying to fatten your "played course" list this is an easy one to squeeze in while your in town. On the other hand, if you are strapped for time then play the others first. Just know what to expect when you come out then you won't be disappointed. Any disc golf course is always better than no disc golf course. Enjoy!

A nice gesture to the community...
Pros: Fellowship Baptist Church is a brand new course (at this time) and the baskets are in excellent shape. There was no trash present on the course. Some of the holes had various elements of design, but this mostly involved the positioning of the baskets.
Cons: There are bricks set up to be teepads on some of the holes. However, we were only able to locate bricks on 3 of the 9 holes. We made up our own tees for the rest. The land is wide open, but it is lumpy and uneven. I can see many ankles being sprained on this terrain. It is rather difficult to find a flat area to use as a tee-box. There are no signs and no trash cans. The course looked clean but this could be a major problem down the road for the church staff.
Other Thoughts: There is some potential here if the church decides to invest a little more cash into the course. At least post a small sign to desaignate the tee pad. Since you can make up your own tee-pad, you can make the course easy or moderately difficult. I can't say that it would ever be made challenging as the land really doesn't present much of a hinderance to any shot selection. My assumption is that bathrooms are available inside the church, if it is unlocked. In short, It is nice that the church decided to put up a course. However, I do not see a course of this caliber appealing to the moderately-skilled disc golfer. If you are avid about playing every course in Middle Tennessee, then give it a shot. If not, don't waste your time, unless you work in the areas and want to play a quick 9 holes on your lunch.

Pros: 9 hole course with new baskets. The course is in a generous and spacious section of land. The course makes a big circle, counter-clockwise, starting and ending at the parking lot (there is plenty of parking as well). The baskets are about as well-placed as they could be utilizing what few obstacles there are.
Most of the holes are pretty wide open with an occasional tree here and there and a little bit of elevation. There is also a tiny creek in play on the first 5 holes (no danger of losing discs, but playing it as OB could add a little challenge). Holes #1, #4, and #8 had creative basket locations. The baskets had a large piece of PVC on top with large numbers painted on in orange making it pretty easy to spot. The people working at the church were friendly when I went in to ask permission to play (may not be necessary, but generally a good idea).

Cons: There are no teepads or signs. (baskets are the most important thing for a disc golf course to exist, but tees are the second most important.) 3 holes (#1, #4, #6) had a line of bricks that appeared to be tee areas, but the other 6 did not. The 3 "tees" that did exist were still difficult to find. (1st time I played I only found 1, 2nd time my friends spotted the other 2.) We just made up our own tees near the previous basket. Maybe in the spring or summer brick markers are placed on all the holes?
The course is basically in a field with clumps of thick matted grass making footing tricky and uneven. This course will not challenge or interest most people, especially after playing it once.

Other Thoughts: There is not a lot of variety from hole to hole as it is mostly an open field. This is a pretty easy course, good for beginners or practice, but if you are looking for a real disc golf course, Crockett and Liberty are excellent choices and both are only a couple of miles from here.
The basket you will see closest to the parking lot is #9.
#1 plays down to the trees across the creek and it is pretty easy to follow from there:
#2 along tree line
#3 hole is over bridge
#4 anhyzer into the pine trees (basket is hidden, don't throw to #5)
#5 on hill over creek
#6 down hill to far right tree
#7 short, along trees
#8 back towards the building in the trees
#9 towards the disc golf parking area

o.k. for begginers
Pros: The baskets are short but not easy. Baskets are tucked away behind trees and you throw across a creek which could make this a difficult course. For begginers it looks good because it will introduce you to different shots without the risk of getting into woods. The course is very open for the most part seeing as it is in a pasture.
Cons: NO TEE PADS. The course is basically a big circle. You throw from one basket to the next one.
Other Thoughts: I did not play the course, as I was working but stopped to check it out. This is just what I observed. They may put tee pads in and it has potential for more baskets but right now is just a course for kids or begginers.
