Uphill, downhill, open, wooded, tunnels, shorties, long shots; Hobbs Farm has got it all! I played from the whites since it was my first time out. You must make your shots count. For blue tees the par 4 and 5s are true--from whites, if you're an advanced player, you can shoot under par easily. FANTASTIC COURSE.

Great local guy, Mr. Heine, was out working on the course--thanks for the warm welcome!

You'll find that the pars for the white tees, and possibly reds, could change from 4 to 3 or 5 to 4... though if you don't have a big arm (I don't have a big arm) your upshots have to count to get a birdie on the par 4 and 5s.

The best course in Georgia and one of the premier courses in the country..The PDGA should look at this for a big tourny.. Not gonna spend time with descriptions of the course because its been covered by others and the descriptions they have provided are dead accurate. This is more of an emotional appeal to get people out here..This is my "home course" and I feel unbelievably lucky to play it multiple times a week. I have been sucking at disc golf since 1991..I have played all over the country and I am hard pressed to think of a better course..This place truly stacks up with the very best and is an absolute blast to play

only 18 holes..seriously there needs to be more..you will not want to quit
not enough trash cans
only 1 water fountain and its between 15 and 16

if you love the game you cannot get here fast enough

-Huge fun factor at this course!
-Multiple tees and benches on every hole (usually 3) with wide-back pads.
-Excellent signage at every tee pad and next tee markers directing the way to each tee for the next hole.
-Plenty of hole variety and elevation changes. Most of the holes are wooded with defined fairways and there a couple of open holes with new trees planted to help shape them up as the years go by. Several water hazards come in to play, although when I played the course most of the creek beds were dried up. There are flags defining the OB for these spots as well.
-Multiple options off the tee with a lot of thought put in to the risk/reward factor.
-Brooms at every hole to help keep the pads clear.
-Legit par 4 and 5 holes.
-This course is suitable for all skill levels.
-The course is nicely manicured and the wooded holes are mostly free of ground cover, so losing a disc shouldn't be much of an issue.

-Most baskets are blind off the tee.
-No garbage cans on the course except near hole 1 and the restrooms near hole 16.
-No alternate pin placements.
-Prodigy baskets, but that is just a personal opinion.
-The pads for some of the tees feel a little short for some of the long bomber holes

This course is one of the funnest courses I have played in the southeast. Other than having to find the baskets on most of the holes, I had no trouble navigating the course with all of the next tee signs. The residents of Carrollton should be very proud of having this as their home course. I can't wait to play here again the next time I am in Georgia!

Hobbs Farm Park is an absolute blast to play. The course offers multiple tees on each hole (usually 3, at least 2), all concrete except for hole 17's interesting wooded decks with rubber pads. The bright green Prodigy baskets are topped with red flags, and will not be visible from the box on many holes. Starting with hole 1, the elevation changes are a big factor. A big grassy hill sits in front of the tees, and from the top it is a long way down the other side through several groups of mature trees. Great way to begin. Across the street, hole 2 is another long hole that crosses a gentle slope down a grassy field before entering a beautiful stand of woods on the other side of the creek dividing the two. I guess it could be the signature hole, as it really has most of the best elements of the course, all mashed up into one hole. The morning I played my disc knocking the trees next to the bridge scared off a group of deer in the trees. Hole 3 is a shorter one, with a couple of avenues to get there. It's uphill a little, I reached with a mid range and missed my birdie putt. Number 4 is another big one, similar to the first hole. Rising up a bit of a hill to a dogleg right at the crest, followed by a long descent. This time there are more trees creating a nice alley to the basket on the other side of another stream. Holes 5 and 6 are not as long or hilly, but still dealing with heavy woods. After crossing the street again, hole 7 works back up the hill the opposite direction of hole 1. It is very long with a handful of big trees, getting a lot more steep at the pin. There is also some thick rough and water along the right side that you should try to avoid. 8 is back down the mostly open backside of the hill, only a few trees stand to the right side in front of the basket, but the pin is on very fast approach and it is easy to overshoot or take a nasty roll to the bottom. A very nice deck bridges a marsh area to the 9th hole, and you will see the unusual situation that is hole 17 on the way. Hole 9 is another lengthy fairway crowded with woods, with a bit of a dogleg right and some tricky elevation change before offering split approaches left or right in front of the basket. 10 is a par three out of the trees and into open grass field. 11 is the same kind of open space covering a much longer distance, with large trees gathered near the basket. 12 is another crazy woodsy hole on the other side of the walking trail that is long and has a couple of routes to the green area. 13 is over water, from an elevated tee, and again my mid range got me with in 25 feet of the target but I choked on the birdie attempt. 14 will take you through another tough set of trails meandering over contoured and heavily wooded terrain, before opening up at the top a bit near the basket. 15 is kind of like 11, very long and open, few trees scattered over mostly flat grassy area. 16 is a par three, and the last heavily wooded hole. Hole 17 has two pads that jut out from the side of the deck that crosses the marsh. The rubber mats are good even when wet, with plenty of room. There it a short patch of water to get over, and a few trees on the other side that create windows approaching the pin. 18 will march steeply uphill for quite a way, and then drop slightly back down to the final basket surrounded by a few trees and shrubs.

I loved the variety of this course. Several water crossings. The elevation changes are great. Forrest sections are very challenging, but offer well defined flight paths. Equipment is new and the signs are wonderful. Overall the park is very scenic and layout utilizes all aspects equally well.

Moving between holes 6 and 7 you have to cross the fairway on hole 2. Also the path from 8 to 9 is right next to the 17th hole and kind of close to the action. Not the easiest course, could be frustrating for new players.

I played early after a night of rain, and the course was still reasonably dry and mud free. This is a really well designed course, with great fun factor and risk reward plays. I shot 6 over par from the long blue tees on my only round. I'm not a pro caliber disc golfer, but feel like I could eventually shoot a round at par here given a few opportunities to play the course. Very versatile with all of the tee box options, and consistently high quality from hole to hole. Worth checking out for sure if you have the chance to visit.

One of the best in the state, the rolling hills, swamps, creeks, and tight trees make for a widely varied and interesting day of golf.

The fairways are maintained quite well and accented by 3 teepads per hole, some of the longs and mediums are shared but most are not.

The teepads themselves are all concrete and very wide. Tapering from back to front and at each teepad there is a nice sturdy wood and metal bench.

I want you to think of a shot, almost any shot. You will want to be able to throw it here. Rollers, thumbers, jump putts; if you have tricks bring them here. That's a huge plus to me, And unlike some of the Houk designed courses there isn't just a ton of poke and pray long holes. There are clearly some lines that are more intended than others but you can bend pars of the course to your aim as long as you respect the fact that much of it is wooded. And those trees have eyes sometimes.

The neon green Prodigy baskets are easy to see and brand new.

I can't say enough about the signage. The teesigns are on EVERY TEE not every hole, EVERY TEE. And they are beautiful signs with accurate scale of the course.

The next tee posts are plentiful and helpful too. The color of the arrow lets you know where you will be shooting next.

It's just a great course that you can't say enough good things about.

I didn't like some of the angles of the long tees, they aren't just longer they are a completely different shot on some holes in relation to the medium and shorts. I didn't knock it for that though, it's a valid design choice.

The only thing that here that I don't love is the Prodigy baskets. I just feel like you have to throw harder to make it stick than anything else I've putted on.

Overall not much to say here.

Is a well done piece of land with a class course on it. Having played the IDGC I think that the PDGA would be best served using those course Boundary Waters and Perkerson for 2017 worlds over the IDGC/Hippodrome courses.

It's that good.

-Multiple tees on every hole. I particularly liked their system of handling or and multiple tees. From my experience, the longest tees will have the highest par and vice verse. But, at Hobbs Farm Park, every tee pad is the same par. This really benefits every experience of player because for newer players who don't have the distance or control, it doesn't take away strokes for choosing a shorter tee. Also, the par is appropriate for the farther tees for more experienced players.

-The navigation is excellent on this course. Every tee box has a sign with the par, distance, and hole map. The only possible place that you could get lost is from 1 to 2 because the tee for 7 is in a area that looks like it could be the 2nd tee. However, Hobbs has navigation poles in between every walk that needs navigation. If you ever feel lost, look around and you will likely see one of these leading you in the right direction. Flags on top of each pristine basket make spotting the target very easy.

-There is a very nice balance of wooded and open play. There are nice elevation changes both throwing up and down. There are challenging dog leg lefts and rights.

-This course offers some very unique holes as well such as 13 which throws around the picturesque marshlands and 17 which has you throw from tees on a boardwalk above the marsh. However, the marsh can be avoided easily for beginners if you play from the red tees and lay up on these two marsh holes.

-Every tee pad is concrete. There are benches at many/most tees. Water fountains and nice restrooms are available at hole 16 or a very short walk from 9 or 10. Parking easily allows you to start at the front or back 9 if the course was ever busy.

-This is a very nice John Houck Design that could be a championship course in my opinion if played from the blues.

-Very, very few in my opinion. Parking might be an issue for a Sunday morning player as the first tee starts at a church parking lot, but I've never played it on a Sunday (anyone could easily start at the back 9 though).

-You have to walk back across the fairway for 2 to get to 7's tee so just be cautious.

-14's fairway is very tight with a steep hill also greedy to snatch a rolling disc. A shorter hole or clearing a few trees could open it up, but it could be my own skill level.

I love this course. I think the thing I like about it the most is that it can accommodate every skill level. At the blue tees, I believe it is difficult enough to be a championship course. But at the Reds, it offers some fun challenges, but it doesn't punish you like it would if a beginner plays from the blues. Fun for everyone.

3 sets of tees. all tees are concrete, great tee signs at each tee. signs pointing to the next tee. Restrooms on site, Par 3's 4's and 5's. Great new baskets with flags on top-easy to spot. Nice use of terrain, water in play at times, many elevation changes, wooded and open shots and holes, left turns right turns. benches at every tee, trashcans

horsefly kept buzzing my head lol

when taking everything into account this is the best course I've played and I've played 109. Navigation is the best I've ever seen. The tee signs are great and there is one at every tee not just the 1st tee on each hole. I've reviewed close to 40 courses and this is the 1st time I've given a 4.5 out. The course was a blast to play. The 3 tees give groups with different ability levels some nice options. I really wish this course was closer to where I live. I have nothing bad to say about this course.

Brand new Prodigy baskets with tall orange flags, large concrete tee pads, long, medium, and short tee pads on almost every hole, benches at 98% of tee pads. Signs showing hole layout and distance for every hole. Great signage between holes directing you to the next.

I just moved here from the Charlotte area where we have LOTS of nice courses and its great to have this course in my back yard. You can tell the creators put some time and money into Hobbs. The surrounding land is really nice and they've done a great job of clearing out the brush around the fairways and ensuring the course is maintained from what I've seen.

I wish there were more courses like this around this area!

Water fountain at hole 16

Amazing course. Balanced in just about every way - open and wooded holes, long and short holes, rewards backhand and forehand throwers equally. The land is beautiful. No hole is a gimme birdie although there are many birdie opportunities out there -- one on almost every hole, really. Fairways are fair but punish inaccuracy. I am super stoked to live less than an hour from here.


All amenities are included. Benches on every hole, helpful tee signs, tee pads on every hole.

The biggest con is actually the location of a parking lot - which belongs to a church. I don't know the details of this arrangement (if one was officially made), but if the relationship sours between the church and the disc golf community, then what? Actually, it wouldn't be a huge issue because then we could park by the restrooms by hole 16 and make that one the new hole #1 (which would be a great starter along with current hole #17).

Two other minor, minor concerns:
1) You have to cross #2's fairway to get to some other hole (#7, I think). This will be inconvenient in tournaments, but it's not a huge deal.
2) hole #14 is kind of awkward. The fairway is shaped in a way that I can't see a good shot necessarily being rewarded.

Course provides every kind of shot to every skill level.
2/3 T pads for all skill levels to enjoy.
Woods, open, water. and elevations to challenge all.
John Houck Design.

Have to cross back over 6 to get to 7, but the land that was given by the city to use required John Houck to design it that way. hasn't really been an issue.

Must play course if you are in GA.

Has practice basket

Has concrete tee pads for all tees

Has a bench at every tee pad if I'm not mistaken

Has excellent tee signs

All baskets have orange flags

Has next tee signs posted throughout

Good mix of open/wooded fairways with doglegs and elevations

Water comes into play on some of the holes but holes #13 and #17 are the only ones that are really a factor in losing a disc

Challenging, long course with variety of pars

Free parking at multiple locations

Restrooms

Doesn't have alternate basket placements

One has to cross hole #2 fairway after finishing hole #6

Some holes have fairly long walks in between such as #6 & #7, #8 & #9, #11 & #12, #15 & #16, and #16 & #17 - not really a con in my book but some may not like the additional walking on top of it being a long course

This is a very nice, scenic tournament-quality course and probably one of the best that I have ever played...a much-needed addition to this part of Georgia. Teeing off the boardwalk on #17 makes it a memorable hole and adds a nice touch to the course. I will definitely play here again and just wish it was a little closer to where I live.

- high quality baskets, concrete teepads, benches, teesigns, next teesigns, bridges & boardwalk

- nice bathrooms near hole 9/16 (probably the best spot to start a round too, rather than on hole 1)

- par 66, reachable par 3's, and multishot golf-style par 4's & 5's ... a true Houck Design

- plays through rolling hills, forest, marshlands, and open fields, with lots of idyllic scenery and wildlife (BIG snapping turtle wanders around under the boardwalk)

- 3 teepads on most holes allowing for enjoyment of course by most skill levels

- TONS of work put in by the club/county/Houck

- 2nd shot on hole 2 seems to be a "poke'n'pray" unless you are verrrry left shooting over the bridge ... which is a huuuge mash from the blue tee

- transition from 6 to 7 crosses over 2's fairway

- 14 as a par 4 seems to be unnecessary. There's a great par 3 green on the side of the hill in the woods that would make a great hole ... OR ... open up the fairway some to allow for 2nd shots to attack the basket

- most of the wooded holes on the Back 9 seem a bit tight, but I'm sure over time the holes will beat-in or some trees will be taken down once lots of rounds/thought have been put into it

- these cons are rather nitpicky, and mostly because the course is so new

- an amazing course ... probably the best course on public land in GA ... and it should only get better with time

- the only courses I personally like more in GA are: Flyboy, The Crucible, Haywood Valley, and the IDGC (with the IDGC being the only courses of those you can usually play)

Great mix of wide open holes and technical holes makes for a fun day of disc golf. This course will have you pulling a variety of discs out of your bag and testing every shot in your arsenal. Very beautiful course and wetland area makes for great outdoor experience.

I have lost several several discs to the local marshland area on this course. This may not be a reflection on the course as much as it a reflection of my ability. Just be warned. Also, there is only 1 trashcan located between holes 15 and 16 for the entire course. This is typically not a problem for my group but it tends to encourage bone heads to toss their can beside the tee pad

Please come out and enjoy this great John Houck design course today
