This course is a great example of what a city or county can do to add disc golf to an existing park. This park is already full of activities. Baseball fields, tennis courts, a great walking trail, a pond with ducks and geese, grills, pavilions, and green space. It's already a park that seems to get enough traffic but they managed to put a nice 18 hole disc golf course in.

I took that into account when rating this course because there are some limitations necessary when safely installing a disc golf course into a park with so many other things going on. One of those things is short holes. There are a lot of holes that are less than 200 feet on this course. There may be one hole that is over 400 feet. It seems most range between 275 and 350. Also, there is only one pin position per hole.

Taking into account the limitations in space in the park, both of these shortcomings are cancelled out because it's either short holes and single pin positions or nothing at all. I'll take a dg course over nothing at all nearly every time.

The pads are a grippy concrete. They are a little on the short side but with short holes, you are not going to need a big run up. There are benches at several of the holes.

The navigation is intuitive on the front 9 and also from about 14-18 if memory serves correct. More on that in the cons, but it is mostly an intuitive course to navigate.

This is a nice park in general. The terrain is mildly rolling hills which add nicely to many of the hills and enough trees to make you shape shots which makes nearly every hole interesting in its own way. There are not many holes to crush a drive on. I played exclusively speed 9 or less discs on this course. The Thunderbird (speed 9 I think) got a lot of work on this course which was fun in itself. This course forces you to shape shots and go with finesse. If you need to touch up your approach game, this is your workout course.

The baskets are nice and new with heavy chains that give a satisfying ring when you hit a putt.

This is an okay beginner course. I say only okay because there are some areas where you can get into trouble with water, road, walking paths and the like. If you're still wild in your throws, you will have difficulty. This is, again, a finesse course. Intermediates should love this course.

There are old train tracks and an old train car in the park which add to the character. There's also a fighter jet out there, too. It seems silly but these things add to the experience.

The holes may be short but the designer creatively placed the pins making you shape a lot of shots which compensates for the shorter holes.

Next tee signs are very needed. The location of of tee pad 10 from 9 is not intuitive at all and required me to track back from 13 to figure out where it is at all. Tee pad 10 is located past the baseball fields. If you walk between the two baseball fields and a little up the hill, there is 10 - a long way from the 9 basket. Signs are needed.

13 to 14 (I think that's what it was) is not intuitively found, either, but not nearly as terrible as the 9 to 10. If memory serves, and it's 13-14 that is difficult to navigate, look for the fighter jet. It's nose is pointing towards the next tee pad.

A course map is needed, too. There is, as far as I could tell, no kiosk with accompanying map. The signs at each hole feature a map but give no direction for the next tee pad.

There are places where the litterbugs have had their way. The open areas are fine but the more obscured areas are riddled with litter. Maybe more trash cans would help, but disc golfers ought know better than to litter their course. I'm sure some of the litter is from other park visitors but we need to do better as disc golfers regarding packing in and packing out.

Next tee signs and a course kiosk with map would make this a 4.5 course.

There are several bathrooms at the park though I didn't use any of them. I assume they are open during park hours.

This course is not going to make the pro tour because of its inherent limitations but it is still an extremely fun course. It being shorter means if you have limited time but want to get in 18, you can do this in an hour. I will be back. This is a perfect course to play after a hike at Sweetwater because it is shorter.

For people wanting to safely squeeze a disc golf course into one of their local parks, this park serves as a good example of what can be done creatively to make an enjoyable course with limited space.

Much enjoyed! Thanks, Douglasville, for putting this disc golf course in one of your parks!
