Pecan may be a tough nut to crack but so delicious

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 22, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Graham Creek - Pecan Hollow is an excellent 18 hole course in the woods of Southern Alabama. Par 67 which means many holes are multi shot and the designers did a great job carving lines through the thick woods. New Mach X's (which IMO is the Cadillac of baskets). Teepads were great and obviously have been enlarged. Probably the first time I've seen concrete poured around an existing teepad to increase the size. I noticed on one of them that 2020 had been written in the back left corner. Tee signs are also new with clean graphics, flight line and distance and par info. Nicer and more permanent that the pics posted here.

I found the fairways to be generously wide and well shaped. Plenty of trees to wind your way through which is one of my favorite challenges.

Well designed multiple shot holes are one of my favorite things in discgolf and this course has them in spades.

This is the best by far of the three courses on site. The parking lot is shared with the Preserve course and the Prairie course is a short drive up the road.

Cons:

No elevation to speak of although there's not much to be done about that. I could see some places where the rough could be hairy but never found myself searching.

Most holes had a short tee that was natural, denoted by two white pegs stuck in the ground. No signage there or recognition from the main tee.

Other Thoughts:

I played The Prairie course first. Waved to a guy and his dog mid round who were a few holes behind. Changing my shoes in the parking lot he says to me "I was trying to catch you but you were playing too fast" haha (park like course with no danger to speak of). I asked him for directions to the other courses which he provided being the friendly local he was. He warned me not to play Pecan Grove as it was "too difficult." Interesting takes people have...

If this course had some prominent elevation changes I'd rate it 4.5. Was an excellent walk in the woods.
