Pros:

Length, Elevation, and Water are featured on this course. The scenery is something else. You're in for a treat at this isolated gem off the beaten path. Several pins feature blue pristine waters as a scenic backdrop as you are throwing beside the water, over the water, or trying to get the disc to land before you skid into the water. One hole, throwing down a giant hill towards a peninsula is not for the faint of the heart. Lucky for me, i was able to make it down there safely with a DGA Proline Squall. No hole felt repetitive. Each invited their own challenge. Mostly long, but still a challenge that differs from the usual courses in the vicinity.

Cons:

It took awhile to locate the next tee for the first time. They use natural teepads and have changed a couple holes around. Hole 1 (as of 06/09/16) in the photos became number 9. There is a hike between some holes if you do not pay for the cart.

Be prepared to carry drivers, rollers, and more drivers. Only 5 holes were less than 300' - if you cannot throw over 300' - you may end up frustrated here. The design is meant to enjoy air shots and power rollers to the fullest, not for novice hacks who hyzer early or just started playing.

Other Thoughts:

At the time I played it,
$5 greens fee
$10 cart fee
$12 for a sixer from the clubhouse
Empty those wallets, boy-o.

Clubhouse has a fully functioning bar, food, billiards, and pool.

Wind was in effect this day. Very little obstacles in the way when the wind picks up.

The course shares 9 holes with ball golf. Depending on traffic, you may have to wait until the players chip/putt out before you can throw your disc. You will have to remain mindful when sharing the course with them ball golfers.

It is 30 minutes from Birmingham and 30 minutes from Tuscaloosa. Well off the beaten path and no other courses nearby

Great course... with carts! 2+ years drive by

Pros:

- Easy to navigate
- Excellent variety of holes
- beautiful scenery on the lakefront
- grass is cut quite regularly
- clubhouse has a pool for those hot Summer days

Cons:

- not really a con for me, but there is a small fee to play (most disc golfers are used to playing for free). Go ahead and rent a cart as it's a significant walk otherwise.
- new or lesser-skilled players may be intimidated by the distance on some holes

Other Thoughts:

Thrilled to see an active ball golf course/club open to introducing disc golf to their facilities. Good variety of clubhouse bar food and cheap beers. Appreciate everyone who was active in promoting this idea and getting it in the ground.
