Short Course to Check Off the List 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Course is set in the surrounding green space of a local church, using a mixture of woods and fields making a nice loop that doesn't put you too far away from hole 1 once you finish. Maybe a 3 minute walk.

Baskets are all in great shape being new DGA baskets that look to be no more than a few months old.

Course is well maintained, no trash and grass in the fairways were mowed quite short when I was there. I assume that it is usually kept fairly short.

Course was not crowded when I was there at 3pm on a Saturday. I assume that on Sunday the course will probably be closed due to services.

Tons of parking spots and only 5 minute drive from I-75.

Cons:

No real discernible tee pads were the main con here. It looks like there might have been some markings on the ground in the woods but they were very faint. There were also no tee signs so had to keep referring to the info on DGCR to determine approx. where the tee was supposed to be.

The wooded holes were probably a little too wooded for the beginning disc golfer. It gives an introduction to wooded holes to new players but they aren't that fun. Needs some trees cleared out to be a little more playable. Not sure if the Chattanooga Flying Disc Club has had a hand with this course but we are more than willing to have a work day to help clear some trees and brush if asked.

Holes 5-7 are all about 250' and go back and forth through a small part of the field. Might be a little dangerous if there are more people playing at one time as the tee pads are maybe 50' from the basket of the previous hole.

Other Thoughts:

The baskets on this course are sunken about a foot lower than normal height which leads me to believe that this course is geared towards kids first time playing. Obviously the wooded holes can be skipped in one chunk so that would make a great 6 hole open course to start people on where they don't get too frustrated.

The course takes about 20 minutes to run through throwing multiple shots so it would be a great place to spend lunch breaks during the week if you work close to there.

Once tee signs and/or tee markers are in it will probably bump the review up a half point for each of those but as of Aug '15 my 1.5 stands.
