This course is a legit challenge, and the park is very well maintained overall.

- Loved some of the shots here. There are about 4-5 really epic shots on this course.
- The Front 9 plays through the woods and has some really interesting terrain.
- The shots around the lake are a lot of fun.
- Some nice opportunities to really air it out, as far as you can throw.
- The teepads were all in great shape, 2 of them for each hole.
- The pro pads add a TON of difficulty on most of these.
- The distance on a lot of shots was a major challenge factor (mostly on the back 9).

There was nothing terrible about this course, just a few things that could have been improved upon.

- OMG, where do I park? I spent 20+ minutes trying to figure out where the course starts. Eventually realize I needed to drive back towards the school.
- Quite a bit of walking between shots on the back 9.
- A few of the holes felt like they were thrown in just to get from the lake back towards the parking. Holes 11, 17, 18 are the ones I am thinking of.
- Would have been nice if there were more benches.
- A bit hard to navigate the first time playing.

I drove from Nashville to play this course (the 9 hole course in Kingston Springs was my warm up). This was definitely worth the drive from Nashville, although I would recommend playing it in the spring / fall when it is not super hot outside.

This would be a truly epic tournament course. Pros or experience players who can consistently throw 400+ will be in love with this course.

I got the sense that disc golf is not popular here. A couple people approached me to ask about the course while I was playing. Oh well, they are missing out on an awesome course!

One of the better courses in the area. Most challenging in the mid-state for sure. If I could rate it a 4.25 I would.

You can tell that this course was designed by someone that knows what they're doing. The layout of the course is very well though out. Tee boxes are well constructed and signs are very clear. Since it was my first time playing the course I decided to play the short tees unless I could see where the basket was....well except for #14. That's a big lake and I didn't feel like loosing any discs. I really like how they put the parking lot and practice basket right in the middle of the course. It's a nice that you have the option to easily play the front 9 first or the back 9. Either way you wind up back at your car. The front 9 play and feel completely different than the back 9 which is a good thing. My favorite holes were #5, #7, and #10.

The only thing I can think of is that the wooded area on holes 11 and 17 could use a little more clearing. There's still a lot of thorns and there's no real fairway for either hole. Pretty much throw your drive and hope it gets through.

The front 9 feels like a disc golf course. There's a nice flow from one hole to the next with some really nice long, rewarding shots. The back 9 feels more like a park that just so happens to have a disc golf course in it. You can tell the holes were placed with the though of "where can we put this hole and not get anyone killed by a disc." Which is to be expected. I feel like for the amount of walking you do on the back 9 there could be a few more holes. As I was playing the back 9 I kept thinking to myself "That would be a cool place for another hole." or "They could have made this hole go that way and added a hole coming back." But I understand that it's a public park and that disc golfers aren't the only ones that use it. Speaking of other disc golfers...I'm pretty sure I had the whole course to myself. I didn't see a single other person playing and my car was the only one in the parking lot. All in all, I'd put this course right up there in a three-way tie for 4rd on my favorite list with Barfield and Crockett. (#1 Cedar Hill, #2 Sharp Springs, #3 Seven Oaks)

- Shorts tees are not a pushover (not an easy "3" on every hole)

- Long tees are more challenging for pro level players as they should be but not excessively that advanced players can't use them.

-Tees and Baskets; Awesome long and level pads and Mach3 baskets. All baskets are straight up level. Doesn't get any better.

- Diverse; Uphills, downhills, rights/lefts, wooded, open, water, etc

- Restroom dividing the front and back nine.

- Security; Park ranger on duty plus a military MP facility in the middle of the park.

- Nice park overall.

- The front nine and a few of the back nine holes are rough cut (new course, to be expected), not well groomed. Expect to get into some knee high stuff.

- Poison ivy. Tons of the tree have it growing up them on the front nine. Avoiding it though is fairly easy though, I am really allergic to it and I have not gotten it after 3 trips (5 rnds)

- Tics; This is this season and my partner has pulled off 3 or 4. Don't leave your tic spray at home.

Even with the cons mentioned, don't let that deter you from playing Buckner. It's a dynamite course in the making and very playable at this early stage. Bring your "A" game, tons of water and a can of bug spray. It's a physically demanding course, one round here is like two rounds at some other courses. A great course for doubles. If this course gets to a 100% well groomed stage, it could get a 5.0 Best of the best rating. For first time players at Buckner, the front and back nine starting points are close to the restroom in the back of the park. Look for the white water tower and soccer fields.

Front 9 and back 9 are different style courses. Par 3s, 4s and 5s. Great tees and baskets. Good setup and location.

Needs mowing and tree limb removal. Front 9 will have cross country runners during fall months. Sometimes there may be people fishing around hole 14 basket.

With time this course will be one of the best in Tennessee.

New course. Long holes. paved tees. Scenic walk. Tough holes.

Holes 1-9 have tons and tons of poison ivy. No fairways. Hole 14 is horrible: 1) entire hole on hill side 2) hillside runs into pond. Almost impossible to not lose a disc unless you want to take 10+ shots.

This is a brand new course. It is currently still under construction. Atm it is difficult to find start and stop points. No directions. They are still cutting trees and clearing them. Wen finished it should be amazing.
