Pros: Great park in the beautiful foothills of north Georgia at the southern edge of the Chattahoochie National Forest. 18-hole course plays through various areas of the park including woods, trails, open areas, and along/across the clear running waters of Yahoola Creek. There are nine DisCatcher baskets and nine targets made of 4x4 posts painted yellow at basket height. Not sure why, but I really enjoyed the change of pace brought about by throwing at a target instead of a basket. There is lots of water in play; even the holes away from the creek have smaller ditches with running water in them--be sure to keep an eye out for these as most are not visible from the tee pad. Holes 6-7-8-9-10-11 play along and across the creek and are the signature holes of the course. The creek has swift running water but is clear, so a wet disc is not too difficult to retrieve. I played the course with my kids and they both successfully crossed the creek with their drives on 7 & 9--should have seen their faces! The layout is easy to follow but only if you take a look at the map posted on this website beforehand. Navigation would have been tricky without doing so. The tee pads are marked with the same 4x4 posts that are used for the targets, and every basket had a very helpful "next tee" sign.

Cons: There is a lot of congestion with other park activities making several holes unplayable. Many holes play along/across walkways, some play through picnic areas, and four holes (2-3-16-17) use the walking trail through the woods as their fairway. This is dangerous and requires a spotter to insure there is nobody blindly coming towards you when you throw! We were unable to play holes 14-15 because they play across the busy soccer field parking lot. My favorite hole of the course (8) plays along the bank of Yahoola Creek but has a picnic table mid fairway. Fortunately it was empty when we played but as we were leaving there was a family situated there. The tee pads are natural with white landscape timbers along the sides. Most tee pads are flat and in good condition, but there are a few that were narrow, sloped and slippery. Several tee pads have sharp drop-offs at the front edge that required starting run-ups well behind the actual pad. There is a long walk from the parking area to the first tee, and you really have to know where its located (using the online map) before you get to the park if you hope to find it. There are also long walks between several holes, especially from 11-12. You have to backtrack down the fairways of 2, 7 and 15 to reach the next tee.

Other Thoughts: This is a nice course but the congestion and layout led to a very frustrating round. As it turns out, we were actually pretty lucky to play a few holes when we did before other park users showed up. It feels like the course is wedged into existing areas of the park that were designed for uses other than a disc golf course. Atlanta area disc golfers will be reminded of the congestion that caused the same problems at Wills Park prior to the 2010 rebuild. There appears to be a lot of unused land in the park that can be taken advantage of. Regardless of the issues, I am thankful that some folks put in a lot of effort to bring another disc golf course to the north Georgia area.
