Pros:

This is a nice little course not too far off the main interstate near Mobile. There are some decent tee signs on the course with distances which are fairly accurate. As it's a short course it's very easy to locate the appropriate pin. The course flows nicely around the park for the most part.

This is a nice clean park, clearly it gets a lot of love from the local city as well as the disc golfers. There are restrooms (I didn't use them while I was there but did notice them) as well as a water fountain as outlined in previous reviews.

For a short course there is actually a decent amount of shot variety from very open to fairly tight. There are some pretty clear lines you have to hit and though not 100% necessary having a variety of shots in the bag will help you to shoot low.

Very nice, flat tee pads and solid baskets.

Cons:

This is a very short course. I used a legitimate full driver throw on one hole (17). I used fairway driver on 2 or 3 others and midrange for the remainder of the course.

Most of the "tight" holes are clustered in one small section in the back corner of the course and are VERY close together. If there are multiple groups playing this could be pretty precarious or force you to wait for a decent amount of time.

The park where the course is located seems pretty nice and though there wasn't when I played I could imagine (as mentioned previously) that other patrons utilizing the baseball, soccer or jungle gym elements could prevent you from being able to play multiple holes.

Other Thoughts:

I played this course in conjunction with the 9 hole course just down the street in satsuma. All in all, playing both courses took me about 1.5 hours. This was a fun little course which could be a nice confidence booster for the novice level player as there are a LOT of birdie 2 opportunities. Its a great course to learn and get introduced to the sport and tight fairways without the fear of losing plastic or getting too frustrated.

For more advanced players this course is good just for a quick round but is not one I would use as a primary course if you live closer to Mobile. For the traveler I would recommend playing both courses (they're only about a 10 minute drive apart) to feel as though you're getting a full experience from them.
