-After a few attacks by this wild, and incredibly angry rottweiler, you might see that he won't be tamed. You have to really capitalize when he's asleep or when he's distracted and not thinking of you. This is a course where laying up a good bit of the time and not going big could give you a 1000+ rated round. Probably -3 from the longs I would guess. This isn't a long layout, but many lines are tight or a least a little odd. If you read this and play it afterwards, you'll know what I mean. There are several holes where you want to go for the birdie and several where you want to be safe and play carefully for par.

-Enough foreplay, underneath this could be a very good course. The land is hilly and very wooded. I enjoyed #9. This hole is a 352' par four but plays nearly 500' due to it being a long way uphill. #11 was a fun par three that was just the right amount of challenge for a tough course. The sign said it was 292' but it seemed longer (maybe 350') since it's downhill significantly and still threw a mid range. The line isn't too forgiving but it's not too tight either. Holes #4 and #13 were nice shorter downhill holes with some challenge to them, but easier birdies nonetheless.

-Very quiet area. I had the course to myself on a Monday morning. That also means that there was no one for me to out run from a beastly canine.

-Nice disc catchers and concrete tee pads. The course map is good too and detailed. It's in the disc golf parking area. Nice that there's a parking area designated for disc golfers!

-It's at a library. Locals could spend some time disc golfing and then find something to read in other spare time. There's a park along with it being at a library. Seems like a very relevant place in Douglasville!

-It's too sharp. It was very sharp and jagged the whole way through. Course is in a very safe area at a library, but the course itself is incredibly sharp in regards to design. I don't think anyone has used that word to describe a course, but it seems to fit perfectly. Felt like being in an old yard facing a wild vicious dog! Or felt like sitting in a hot tub with a temperature fifteen degrees higher than the optimum temperature for a hot tub. Along with incredibly high pH levels and then you get the worst skin rash cause you, for whatever reason God knows what, decided to stay in there. There's some overgrowth here and there, and a fallen tree near the basket on #2 and that adds to the sharpness. The cons further below are what make this course unnecessarily rough and unenjoyable. The fairways ARE discernable, but laying up on par threes is what you are called to do here. A really good player over 950 rated could shoot 15 over or worse here if they try to go for some of the par threes here. Yes, I get that getting extremely ambitious results in big consequences at hard courses. But many of the par threes at Dog River are like miniature dogleg par fours. You know? Par three distances but getting a two is once in a blue moon.

Now onto the mythical dog, he BITES! And he's out to hurt you. Showing off skill and going big will wake this beast up, because you'll get bad breaks here and the harder you go, the harder you suffer when you fly off the fairway. There are sixteen par threes and trying to go for all of them will get you bitten and bruised by Dog River. Hole #2 is unreachable. 387' and largely downhill (definitely more than 35' down in elevation) and tainted because of it's wild left turn from the long pad. The short pad gives a straighter look and it's 303'. So throw 84' ahead and 303' left from the long and that's how you reach it. Yuck! #6 is a 90 degree dogleg left going steep downhill and back straight uphill at the bend with death all on the right side. I lost an explorer on the right and looked entirely too long for it. 360' and your best bet at par is simply avoid ambition. Just throw a putter down the hill. Throw another up it, and you'll probably par. I don't like to habitually lay up. Disgusting! I don't think laying up should be a better idea on maybe more than a few holes but it's a better option on plenty of them here. Gross!

-No hole diagrams on the tee signs. There's no indication given on where the basket is from the tee when it can be hard to spot. It says on the pad that #7 is 255' and it's like 360'. That's clearly a second pin. Nice if there are alternate pins, but if so, the tee signs should be updated.

-Miscommunication. I pulled in at the entrance and it said the park was closed. I drove past the gate anyway and saw the parking area and it said the course and trails were open. Didn't know if I was supposed to be there or not. Not that I really cared since the gate was open but if you are more of a rule follower than I am, you may want to call the number. I mean, why put up a sign at the entrance saying the park is closed and then have signs saying its open once you pass the entrance? Kind of illogical.

-There aren't many thorns, but many holes play on the sides of slopes and the rough is very rough to throw out of if you land in there. With the trees being very close together, it's hard to spot where your disc lands. It's even harder if you land in the woods where there's a sloping hill. You could ricochet far down and have no clue where you land if you don't play safe on some holes. My explorer on #6 could be just 20' into the woods on the right or 250' or the right. Who knows?!

-It's gotten more beat in. Sometimes when a raw course gets beat in, it looks even more raw. There are several fallen trees due to bad weather and some very grassy spots. There's no denying that it was a brilliant idea to design a course here; it's just very rough and jagged without a lot of thrill. #2's short pad was a lot of fun but it needs some maintenance and the long pad was a very bad idea. I'll say that I thought #5 was better than the other reviewers thought it was. I kind of liked the big valley left fade. It's very tough but I found it to be a lot more fair than many of the holes here. I agree with them on #2, #6, and #16. All failed attempts at hyzer shots. Low ceilings with a valley (#6) which make it impossible to have the right skip to get there since it's back uphill, tight lines with no room for mistiming (#2), or a fallen tree near the pin (#16). Many others were bizarre too. #18 was overgrown for the first part of it from the long pad and the remainder (the short pad) presents a strange fairway with the basket visible straight ahead but a curving fairway. Going straight for the basket would not follow the designated fairway.

-I need it needs a makeover. Someone needs to tame this dog. You have to play this course safely without risks, as if you are fetching a ball from a neighbor's yard. A neighbor with a mean watch dog.
