Pros:

Good place to practice Putting.
baskets 8 & 9 are decent to play, unless you end up in the bushes.

Cons:

No tee pads, No Maps, No signs
basket 1 & 3 are missing.

baskets 2 & 4 are impossible to throw too as the forest is too dense.

Baskets 5-9 are almost completely free of obstacles they are all straight throws, with baskets 5-7 literally being the exact same throws, just across different sides of the ditch.

The baskets there are too close so only 1 person can play at a time. The baskets there are also too close, not exciting throws only a small throw, maybe 200 feet on 3 back to back dejavu throws.

holes 8 & 9 are decent, but still very tight shots where if you miss you end up in the parking lot or in some dense and thorny bushes.

Go to another course nearby, there too many nice courses nearby to waste time here.


Other Thoughts:

Could become a decent little course with some maintenance and moving of baskets. Please let us know if you need any help setting up new course.

Doesn't need tees, just signs or markers for where to tee off and move baskets to include obstacles and have a variety of shots.

Pros:

Nice baskets. The final 6 holes are at least worthy of throwing a disc in their direction. Not sure why, but I especially liked the way the chains sounded when hit by a disc.

Good place to introduce people to disc golf or to practice.

Grass was mowed.

Cons:

No tees or signs. This place is almost closer to a practice area than it is a course. The only thing saving it from being such is a hand drawn map (found on DGCR) that will give you a reasonable idea on holes 5-10. Other than that, you pretty much just make it up.

Holes 1-4 are some of the worst I have ever seen. Literally there are 4 baskets spread out in a densely wooded area. Maybe a hint of a skinny winding walking trail connects them. After #1, I had no idea what to do, where to go, which basket to throw out, etc. Either these are some of the worst fairways ever or some of the shortest fairways ever. If a legit path was cleared out/defined then they would be just fine.

Holes 5-7 run close and parallel to each other. A safety issue if people are on every hole.

There was some more land and features that possibly could have been used, like the row of evergreens for example, or even the power pole. Instead this is pretty much an open course.

#6 basket was unfortunately bent up quite a bit.

Other Thoughts:

I really only played here because it had not been reviewed since 2015 and I was in town and had some time to kill. Seems not much has changed since those reviews.

There were no signs saying not to play or when to play, but be mindful that availability might be limited during service times or on Sundays in general if their members are using the course.

This course is good for their members (kids, novices) and maybe locals to be introduced to the game, but not at all recommended to anyone else.

Better 9-hole options in Chattanooga are nearby wooded-style Shepherd (if you are looking for something close to Brainerd) or Portland (if you are looking for something closer in style, but a better overall package).

Pros:

* There are baskets.
* The six open holes (#5 to #10) are decent for beginners.
* Nice setting.
* Plenty of available parking.
* Not crowded.

Cons:

* No teepads.
* No markers indicating where to begin the hole, so you have to guess where to tee off.
* No signs.

Other Thoughts:

The four holes in the woods (#1 to #4) are some of the worst holes I've ever played. Not only are there no indicators of where to tee off, the paths are extremely narrow. There is nearly no fairway, just a walking path in between trees. You will likely have to throw a tomahawk and then tromp through the woods. Much work needs to be done on these first four holes before they meet disc golf standards.
