Has practice basket

Has concrete tee pads

Has nice tee signs

Has many benches throughout course

More open than wooded fairways will be appreciated by the beginner

Most holes have changes in elevations

Water comes into play on holes #5, #6, #17, and #18 but the creeks are shallow and narrow enough where it shouldn't be a factor in losing a disc

Free parking but can be limited depending at what time you play

Restrooms at community center and near baseball fields

Course seems to be cramped with other park amenities such as hole #1 being close to part of the parking lot and a dumpster, hole #9 throws over a walking path with a building to the left, fenced-off area to the right, and a caboose straight ahead, hole#11 has a tennis court to the left.

Course has fenced-off areas where you have to be careful not to throw your discs in, but I do believe they all have unlocked gates that you can enter through to retrieve. Holes #3, #6, #7, #9 come to mind on this.

Hole #8 has boulders right of the fairway - do not throw a disc in there as you have a bad chance in finding it if it falls in a crevice like mine apparently did

Course design and flow could use improvement as there are long walks between 9&10, 12&13, 15&16

Overall a short course

Park can get very busy on the weekend with other parkgoers

This a nice, multi-use park where the authorities made good use of existing land to develop the course with the rest. It's nice to see the perks of the train track, caboose, and the fighter while walking and playing. This course seems to be short enough where I feel that I can play more holes afterwards. Be aware of the weekend park crowd where you may see parkgoers walking on the fairways especially holes #8, #9, and #10.

Nice multiuse Park, near downtown Douglasville.

The course has a nice layout, and mostly flows freely and easily. With a few exceptions. The tee pads are nice, and pretty gritty.

There are some basket locations that are really interesting and the baskets themselves are in good repair. they are Innova baskets and on the newer side.

There is also ample parking with a map of the course layout, and a practice basket right by The parking lot.

There are some neat tunnel shots and a good mix of wooded and open. Also some holes where you throw from tree tunnels into the open, and vice versa. The course overall it's very enjoyable and post a good mix of long and short holes, with some of the Longs being in the 400 range and some shorts under 200 though mostly very wooded.

There could be a few tweaks to make it flow better, but for the land they were given it's a very good layout.

There were benches on most holes, and bathtooms when you go near the baseball fields.

Immaculate park with water in play especially this time of year with all the rain.

And a really cool aesthetic with the jet on stilts and train track/ caboose.

The course is nice but on the short side, many holes are around 220 though they did okay with the space they were given.

The tee pads on the smaller side, and if you have a longer run up you may run out of room. It plays sort of close to the walking path and some of the other amenities, not so close that you might hit somebody but just close enough to where you might think the putting a hole or a pad there wasn't a great idea.

Overall I can't complain too much layouts pretty good for the small amount of acreage they have.

it's been raining a lot this year, and it seems to drain fairly poorly, but most of Douglasville is on a floodplain, so that's to be expected.

The course is fairly fun, and if I'm in the area I'm going to play it again. I like a lot of things that had to offer especially the mix of very wooded longshots, and open longshot, with some nice treats on all shots mixed uplayouts pretty good for the small amount of acreage they have.. It kept things interesting and I was never bored.

It looks like some things of been done by the local club or maybe just some enthusiastic players to keep this place in good shape thank you to those who do that.

The 18 hole course was in a well kept park. and considering all the different available activities that this park offers (small train rides for the kids, baseball fields, tennis courts, recreation center, playground) that was pretty impressive to me.

The course itself had very descriptive tee signs and next tee signs posted on various trees so one could navigate most of the course without a map (but nevertheless a map should be printed out for the 1st time player aka...me)

Big enough cement tees

I love the Georgia tall pine tree lined fairways. In itself it keeps the course cleaner with the fallen pine needles.

This is a good course for all skill levels as the pro can hone his mid range game at the same time the rec player could develop into a better player as most of the holes weren't gimmie holes like most courses that average 300 feet or less on each hole.

I saw several groups of younger players playing. Which to me is a pro as, there the future of the game and not I.

# 17 was the cranker hole, with one teeing off down by the creek and playing gradually uphill to where the basket was situated nicely on a hill's edge.

Plenty of parking

Clean restrooms w/ hot water

Many activities to bring the family along while one plays Disc Golf.

I would recommend for 1st time players at this course to print out a map, as some of the holes (namely the basket # 9 by the caboose to the next tee # 10) are of a long walk from basket to the next tee. (perhaps a simple fix of colored duct tape in the basket well pointing one to the next tee could work)



# 7, I saw one group ahead of me protect the player driving from a drive that could of went over a fenced out area of a pond. If I hadn't seen them do that, I might of not necessarily taking a low drive towards the basket. so I see that as a potential problem (perhaps the park could install a large net to protect that problem area)

Some low lying areas are present, but parks are normally in flood plains, so it wasn't a biggie to me and most of the area affected had either a long board leading one over the wet area or large rocks (on hole # 8) to protect further erosion.

After play, I was able to change out of my Disc Golf clothes and clean up somewhat in one of the clean restrooms that the Ike Owings Community Center offers before heading to the airport for my flight home. I also felt that the staff we're very friendly and accommodating when I asked if I could clean up a little bit @ their facility.

New course, equipment, etc.
Nice park.
Community Center with snack machines and restrooms available.
All concrete tee pads.

Best played during the week, lots of interaction with park pedestrians during peek hours.
Closeness of some of the pins to populated areas and roadways can be inconvenient.
A bit muddy after rains.

Many straight on holes. I'm assuming many are the "filler holes" mentioned above. I think the course would benefit greatly by having a couple alternate pin placements available on these holes.

Very well manicured. Pins are easy to see. Very good signs. Good next tee signs. Community Center has bathrooms and Baseball Fields have Bathrooms.

A couple pin placements have a lot of pedestrian traffic.

There's a lot of birdie opportunities if you hit your lines. I rated it as good, slightly above average.

Hunter Memorial Park is nice enough, home to an 18 hole disc golf course, a fighter jet, an old caboose, a pond with geese and ducks, a playground, tennis courts, baseball fields and other recreational activities. All of it nicely maintained and clean. The disc golfing is on the easy end of the difficulty scale, but there are some good holes. The tees are concrete, and the baskets are still fresh. I liked the elevation changes, mostly subtle, but significant at times. There are trees scattered on most holes, never too densely, just enough to provide challenge on the better holes. Signs pointed the transitions from hole to hole where necessary. My favorite holes were 3, 4, 8, 11, 15, 16 and 18. 3 is a tough downhill drive with a number of trees to clear. The fairway is flanked by a fenced retention pit to the left and a road running the length of the right side. 4 is the longest hole, gradually descending a narrow fairway to a basket tucked on the right side at the end. 8 is wide open and downhill, but there is a creek lined with large rocks that protects the left side of the green. 11 is short, but an uphill that turns right to an elevated pin in the trees. I managed to put my putter under the basket, best shot of the day. 15 is sloped gently uphill, with a main gap in the trees that is important to hit. 16 is downhill and the fairway is open on the left, but trees block middle, right, and around the approach. 18 is a good hole also, kind of requiring some luck to split the stand of tall trees at the bottom of the hill. Beginners could learn a lot playing this course without being too frustrated. There is a coke machine and water fountain next to the baseball fields on the walk between holes 9 and 10.

No benches except the picnic tables and bleacher next to the ball fields. The tee signs were not bad, but they were poorly posted and several were fallen over or gone. The same goes for the next tee arrow signs. There was significant rainfall the day before I played, and most fairways were waterlogged and muddy. There is goose crap all over, I hear it's slick. There is opportunity to lose discs OB or in a few streams and brushy areas. I went over the fence on 9, the wind carried my putter up, up, and away. There are places where baskets are near other tees, and fairways are near other features of the park, so danger of hitting a person exist. The walk after hole 9 is long, and after 12 as well. Pro players will be yawning while they rack up deuces on the many short holes.

A quick and relatively fun 18 hole course. The longer holes usually provided tricky drives for my RHBH dominant style. Even some of the shorter holes were complicated by the sustained wind. I made par on my first round there, with two birdies and two bogeys. I liked Hunter Memorial Park, but nearby Deer Lick Park is a little better, if you ask me.

Hunter Memorial DGC is a fun, intermediate level layout that sprawls throughout a great multi use park. It rings up at just 5010' but still offers plenty of challenge. The par 55 layout has ample elevation changes bringing both uphill and downhill shots into play. You will find a good variety of holes types and lengths. While there are a few holes hovering just around the 200' mark, a third of the holes measure at 300'+. A par 4 tunnel shot in the woods, which some may consider the signature hole, adds to the diversity. There is a good mix of moderately wooded holes and some open shots as well. There is lots of turning shots with perhaps an overall lefty friendly tilt. There are plenty of encounters with creeks, paths, and roads and they provide many opportunities to go OB. Many features of the park are also included in the layout or are in view during your round. Most notably is the caboose on hole nine. A mini train track comes into play a time or two. In addition, there is a pond, a lake, the mini train tunnel and a Veterans Memorial with a full size USAF F-105D on display.

The course uses brand new Innova DISCatchers Pro 28's. Of course, they catch great and they are easy to spot from the tee. There are cement tee pads are on all the holes with a nice rough finish. Temporary tee signs and next tee signs are sufficient for now but new permanent signs are on the way. There is a practice basket with an area big enough for a warm up and maybe some various up shot practice. There is a welcome center at the generously sized parking lot near hole one. Inside you will find a vending area with a drink and snack machine. Also, ask the desk for a scorecard and map. There are also rental discs should you need them. One of the two bathrooms you pass along the way as you play the course is in the center too. The next one is halfway through the round between holes nine and ten near the ball fields.

Probably the biggest con will be some longer than normal walks in a couple places. While I did not think it was horrible, I did hear some chatter from other players. This is mostly due to the constraints of the available land in the park. Some of the land originally planned for the course ended up not being available for the course. Because of this, there are times that you will play what some consider "filler holes". These are the short holes scattered throughout the layout. The caboose hole, which does bring in the train theme of the park, was my least favorite filler hole on the course. I think there will be a lot of non-disc golf activity and there will probably be times of waiting for other park users to clear the fairway before you can play it, especially during busy times.

As of opening day (Nov 22), the course was not quite ready for an opening (at least in the sense that everything be 100% done). As mentioned, there are only temporary tees signs on a wooden stake. Further, the tee pads are not flush with the ground so there is a 4" step up on all but one pad. I understand that there are plans to back-fill the pads eventually. There are no benches at the tee pads yet. Except for perhaps the tee pad issue, these items do not really affect your play or enjoyment of the course but it is worth noting for those whom it is important.

I think this course is a perfect complement to the current trio of courses in Douglas County. Deerlick, Frog Rock, and now Hunter Memorial are close enough from one another to make a good disc golf day if you want to try all three at a time.
