Pros:
This course is like no other close to Atlanta. It feels like you are playing in Blue Ridge or somewhere much more secluded than its proximity to Highway 41 and I-75 would let you believe. It is a very well thought out course with a lot of tight technical shots through the woods, up and down steep hills, and across ravines. It challenges you to throw both forehand and backhand though many holes offer lines for which ever you prefer. There are many different lines you can take if you are creative and sometimes you have to be if you end up in trouble off the tee. Hole 4 I think my favorite of the many "signature holes" at Etowah, throwing across a ravine, down then back up a steep hill with the basket placed at the mouth of a very shallow cave begging you to give it an ace run. I have yet to play a cooler hole anywhere. Overall it is a great experience playing here on a technical , scenic course surrounded by nature. If you are tired of the routine courses around Atlanta and want something unique, challenging and not too far of a drive I highly recommend you give Etowah Disc Golf Course at Riverside Park a try.
Cons:
If you are not coordinated be careful out there. There is a lot of elevation change and sometimes errant throws lead to having to throw from akward positions on steep hills.
Other Thoughts:
Be careful out there! Be mindful you are not in a park in the middle of the city or the suburbs and there are hazards that entail with that. Be mindful of wild animals especially snakes. The last round I played we saw a decent sized copperhead on hole 1. We left it alone so it left us alone but be careful out there especially picking up discs. And lastly bring plenty of water. Those hills will wear you out haha.
