tons of fun Pros: shot variety is great between the trees and elevation changes. a long course--23 holes. about half open field and half wooded. very well-maintained with ample facilities and trash cans. this course is just tons of fun.
Cons: anthills.
Other Thoughts: definitely worth a detour if you're in the area. small fee to play, but you can see that they use it well.

Report this Review Ant Hill City! Pros: Great variety of wide open, narrow, wooded, and grassy holes. You sometimes have to play around a few unnatural obstacles as well, which adds a challenge.
Naturally, the added tee boxes help those with limited experience.
The scorecard and map was handy at times, although it still took me a while to figure out the course flow.
I also had a very favorable round, except for hole 21.

Cons: Ant hills!
In all of the wide open holes (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 23) there are tons of ant hills all over the place, including one at the base of the basket, and a couple bordering the tee boxes.
Hole 21 was a huge pain.
Especially in the woods, the holes start to overlap. I actually wound up throwing at the wrong basket on one hole. That hurt my score!
More benches and trash cans would be helpful. The course was quite clean, for the most part, but particularly due to the course length, more rest areas would be a huge help.

Other Thoughts: Being only the second course I have ever played, I don't have much with which to compare it.
I decided to take the challenge and use the blue tees!
Seeing as how I had a large number of near miss, "no way" lucky shots, I couldn't complain, even when I missed several putts on the front nine.
23 holes is an unusual number, but you will need to stay focused. Fatigue will definitely be a factor when playing this course, and some of the later wooded holes are not forgiving. (Yes, I'm talking about you, hole 21!)

Pros: -Teepads. The pads are huge, cement, and very well thought out.Each pad provides the correct amount of difficulty for the level of player that it was intended for.Shorts are great for families and beginners, middles are tough but not overwhelming, and the longs should challenge just about anyone.
-Fairways are fair. If you throw the correct shot you will be rewarded, poor shots will be punished.
-Great park support. I played here a week after death snow 09' in athens. It looked like a few holes had been hit by some large branch loss (11) and it was already in the process of being removed.
-Easy to follow.In the open its obvious where to go next and there are pointers in the woods.Get the scorecard at the gate.There is a good map on the back that will help with the 2 confusing spots.
-Overall great design.This course uses the land provided to the fullest.All of your shots will be tested, and not much luck will come into play.A true test of skill.
-Fun to play.Always the most important for me.

Cons: -I would like to see some benches and trash cans.More of a pet peeve then anything.
-Signs are all on long pads.On most holes you will walk by them if you are playing the shorter pads.Distances and pin positions seem well marked, But if you are playing here for the first time you will have to walk up to spot the pin on a few holes.
-Hole 8's basket is too close to a building and a garden for my taste.
-I have seen people fishing right behind 11's basket.I'm not a local here, so I dont know if it happens often.
-I can see people getting confused finding 9, 22, and 23's tee but I never had a problem.Course flow is great and the scorecard map is excellent.

Other Thoughts: The last time I played here I played with my friend who has only been playing for 2 months, at the very short herman michael course nearby.We played the middle tees.I felt challenged and grinded out a 1 under (54 par....with 5 bogies) and he was not overwhelmed and shot right about what he should (mid to upper 60's) for his skill.In the past when I have played the longs I felt that they certainly humbled me, and should challenge most players.However, it would not shock me to see some of the better open division players put up some very low scores.The fact that all skill levels are challenged, but feel the chance to shoot well when their game is on, is a sure sign of a great course to me.
EDIT-I just realised that in the above paragraph I called par 54.What I meant is All par 3's.That put me at 68 for 23 holes, with my friend most likely being in the 12-15 over range. Sorry about that.
Dont worry about the cons here, this is a can't miss course if you are in the area.Awesome design, fun for all skill levels, this course has it all.I will definitely play here whenever I am in athens and I recommend that you do too.
Love that guys hat in the pictures......

The Real Deal

Played: 48 Reviewed: 23 Exp: 5.6 Years
This review was updated on 2/17/2009
Pros: This course is the real deal. You will need all your shots, and you will get a real workout. Three sets of all cement tee pads, and three pin positions per hole (also a con - fusing). Course is basically two distinct 11's. First 11, relatively open, with good use of terrain changes, and the trees / obstructions available. Second 11 is heavily wooded, though with decent fairway pathways, i.e its fair. Elevation changes, lots of walking, you definitely feel "on your own" in these woods. Last hole, 23 is an open bomber. This course is a great challenge, and a real workout. Locals are friendly, guy came out of the guard shack to direct me from 8 to 9 (across the road). Wooded holes are relatively well marked, having a map is a real plus.
Cons: I don't like the three basket locations. Combined with three tee pads you have up to 9 possible combinations. I could rarely tell which pin I was shooting to, and/or I had to walk half the hole to figure it out. First 8 holes somewhat mingle with rest of park / sheds / roads, etc. Hole map / distance / par is only at back tee, sometimes a long walk back. Course can be confusing to navigate, be sure and get a map from the guard house. Some long walks between holes. With 23 holes, elevation changes, long walks between holes, bring water. You'll be tired when you're done. This is not a quick play. Park is a bit out of the way, north of Athens.
Other Thoughts: Cons aside, I loved the layout, and the workout. If this were just a little better marked, and more compact I'd go 4.5. Here's where I got lost - Number 9 is across road from 8 (directly behind number 1 tee), 11 tee is left of ten basket at the end of the parking lot. To get from 21 to 22 you walk right by 13 tee (I stopped to play it, and then had a deja vu). Number 11 is a beautiful throw down to the edge of a lake. This is a really good course, but be ready to walk.

variety 
Pros: 3 different areas, beginning with open and some massive holes on gradual grassy hills, with some patches of rough woods. Then moving into a more manicured park area along the park road, then into tight but old growth woods with little rough. Has 3 sets of cement tees per hole. Up to 3 pin placements per hole (also a con- see below). Major difficulty change from long-long to short-short. Makes you throw everything you got from roller to tomahawk to skip shot off a road. Long woods holes make for upshots, landing zones and smart playing. Must be able to throw straight. Very well cared for and mowed. Clubhouse type building, secure park, course map and scorecard, restrooms, vending.
Cons: Doesn't flow too well at several junctions- without the map you may have trouble but with it no worries (available at msg. board, at gatehouse, and online).
*Multi-pin placements shown on sign, but not WHICH is current, so even if you know it like the back of your hand, you may still have to walk far up on some blind holes to find the basket.

Other Thoughts: I talked to the people at the gatehouse and recommended some system for pin placement markings.
Awesome course overall.

Pros: This is a very beautiful & challenging course. Nearly every hole has some type risk associated with it. There are so many great holes, it's hard to pick a favorite. But 21 is pretty awesome-driving through the narrow fairway, across the bowl, to the basket ontop the far bank.
Cons: Walk from 21 basket to 22 tee pad has to cross #13 fairway.
It's not within 5-10 miles of my house.

Other Thoughts: Can't wait for the final 4 hole to be put in, making this a 27 hole "must play" course.
Park personnel are very 'disc golf' friendly.

Review By: Fender088 Played: 25 Reviewed: 25 Exp: 6 Years
This review was updated on 11/10/2010
Pros: This course has 23 beautiful holes. All holes have concrete tees and nearly all of them have multiple tees. The variation here is great. There's downhill shots, uphill shots, extremely wooded fairways, completely clear fairways, and a great mix of distance and difficulty. I've only played a handful of courses, but this is the most complete course I've ever seen. Park personnel drove past us twice to pick up trash and to see if we'd lost any discs while we were playing. That's the kind of commitment that's needed to maintain a premier tournament course. Supposedly they are supposed to add more holes soon. Did I mention that this course is beautiful? One of the middle holes overlooks a lake.
Cons: You do have to pay to play which kind of sucks, but it's worth it if you're just visiting. It's $4 to play, but you can buy a season pass. Hope you're in shape if you're gonna play this course. The last time I played this course the hole that plays up to the club house was taken out due to people hitting the building and taking out windows. You still have over 18 holes to play though.
Other Thoughts: It would be really hard to get bored with this course because there is so much variation. Make sure you take advantage of the simplistic front 9 because things get a little more difficult when you get towards the woods.

Pros: This is the best course I've played yet, lots of open field drives par 3, and tight wooded, long par 4. very well manicured, very pretty landscape, Dog Allowed! I Love It.
Cons: they should finish up making the last 4 holes. A little better markers directing to the next tee woulb nice on the first 14 holes.

A+ Course
Pros: Great Great course! Wide variety of holes. The first 11 are all very open and then the next 12 are through the woods. Located in the middle of a great park so after a round of disc golf you can visit the lake or even camp there if you have to. Has great upkeep, the holes always look nice with little to no trash. 3 different concrete tee boxes and maps of the holes on each tee. Also has 3 different hole locations the hole feels new every time you visit.
Cons: The pay to play kind of stinks. Its $2 to get into the park and $1 to play. If you want a disc golf membership for the local players you have to get a park membership too which totals out to be $55 for a year. If i had to get picky i would say....no water fountains??
Other Thoughts: There are more holes to come! When its all done there will be 27. Hooray!!
P.S: If anyone finds a pink innova eagle on #13 please let me know!

Worth admission price.
Pros: Great layout. Concrete tees. The wood's holes are challenging (especially #12). First 11 holes fairly open though use natural foliage wisely. The rest (excluding the closing hole) are a true test of skill and placement.
Cons: Not the easiest course to walk
Other Thoughts: PDGA Open Qualifier held here in the spring of 2007. 22 holes and counting.
