-Seems that churches around the deeper south are more likely to have the space for an 18 hole course. The course is located on the highest elevation point of the property. Part of, is open by the parking lot where #1 starts. The very top is wooded where you play holes #6-8. You make your way down the opposite side downhill in the woods and play in there until you get to #15, which is back in the open close to where you start. This being said, there's a good open/wooded mix.

-Course is very short. Under 3500'. Course designer did well because newbies will like this. I myself started playing with my church group, so this is a great way to start. It takes a lot of effort to improve at disc golf and Humble Tree is very welcoming for starters. Many of the open holes are great warm up holes with some danger. #1 is perched on a steeper hill, making you want to putt with caution. #5 is steep uphill along the road on the left side. The open holes are generally speaking, quite easy but they have some base requirements for disc golf. Find the better spot to land in, like on #4 being a hyzer up the side of the hill or on #2 & 5 where the road is OB. The wooded holes are short too, but they have their particular lines.

-Elevation. Quite a bit of it for it being a short course. There are a few steep uphills and a few steep downhills. #13-15 have the best elevation stretch. #13 is a steep downhill sweeping left hyzer. #14 is back uphill while #15 is an open hyzer around a telephone pole down a hill in the open. Many others have good elevation changes. Several holes exceed 20' in elevation change.

-Epic course around the corner at Clay with twice as much elevation and some real creativity! I LOVE that course! Humble Tree has that open/wooded mix that Clay has and it has some aspects of creativity. #16's green is a scary one! I threw a sidearm and went long and had a tough uphill upshot back up the green because the basket is perched on a drop off. The road is in proximity. There is plenty of roller potential here. This course is no where close to as fun as Clay, but it does have some similarities and if newbies like this course and take the time and effort to work on their game, they will see how great of a disc golf area it is around Birmingham!

-Nice tee signs with hole distance info. Signs had some quotes on them. One that I remember was the one on #12 (a very tight hole) was the phrase we've all said before. "Stupid tree!" Would've been nice to see Bible verses that may seem relevant to the hole you play, but some of the phrases may make you laugh.

-I saw a lot of painted stumps on the back nine. It needs a lot of work, but the stumps do indicate that there's some labor put into Humble Tree and that they didn't just place the baskets in and rush the project.

-I am a biased reviewer. In all honesty, bias is human nature. It all matters on whether or not you are fair in your biased beliefs and why you favor toward one way to the other. With that out of the way, this is disc golf. I like to see a wide variety of holes. I like to wonder what the next one will be like. I like it when there are some easier holes and some that take a lot of thought into saving par on. This course is less appealing to more competitive players as myself, but it is perfect for what it is made for. You will see some holes that are pleasantly surprising, but it's very short and there's a little bit of repetition. #10 and #12 seemed similar. Both are very tight shorter holes with similar fairways. #9 and #11 are pretty similar too. Both are straight and steep downhill holes around 175'.

-#18's basket is way too close to the road to the parking lot. I parked it. I had a tap in putt, but I was OB. While we are at it. #15's tee pad and #18's basket are too close. I acknowledge that the mando right of the pole on #15 eliminates a safety hazard but I think #15 could simply be better. It could be straighter and further down the hill instead of being awkwardly in the middle of the field being a relatively boring hyzer. #16 could be at the bottom of the hill and still far enough from the road and have you throwing back up the hill. #2's basket is too close to the parking lot. Could be obstructive from people playing it if there's a special event outside of church service.

-It's kind of hard to review this course. Lengthwise, it's very nice for the church members to start a new hobby. The wooded holes, however I hope are incomplete. A few of them were odd and would be irritating for starters, but then again if you play this course enough times, you'd probably know the right way to play every hole at some point in time. I know I would've thought the fairways were weird on #10, #12, & 14 if I started playing here when I was a kid. Hopefully they will have more definitive lines in the foreseeable future.

-I thought it was pretty cool overall. I like Revelation Mountain more though. That's another church course that I think people should check out. I think the target audience (beginners, church members) would love the course here and would be strongly interested in picking disc golf up as a hobby. The designer did great! I would've loved this course as a kid! The church I go to back at home holds many interesting events for people of all ages. Where memories could be made and treasured. This course is perfect for a new event for the members to try out.
