A wide open course with all the basics.

-Amenities: DISCatchers, practice basket, adequate concrete tees, course map. Signs with hole #, distance, par, sometimes map, and pin placement indicator.

-Elevation: One of Lenora's strengths is that it plays along hills. You'll go up and down and along and beside and on top of hills. Lends some interest.

-Beginner Friendly: Good place to take a beginner. Especially with marked pars that are way too high, inexperienced players will feel better about their throwing.

-Multi-Pins: Quite a few holes have alternate pin placements. Sometimes they significantly alter the challenge, while in other cases it's superfluous.

-Hole Design: Adequate considering the lack of obstacles to work with, but not great. As mentioned, there are both up and down plays requiring different skills. About 6 holes deal with notable trees, forcing a play either around or through them. Walking paths or woods create a stay-away area on another 5 holes. A few hole descriptions: (3) plays blind over a mid-fairway hill. (4) has a mando tree forcing a hyzer play. (8) is a 450-footer with path on the right heading past a leafy obstacle and towards the woods. (10) plays with a steep hill on any shot leaking left. (13) is a right-turning hole through a stand of about 3 trees. (16) is the only moderately wooded hole on the course, straight uphill.

There are very few trees.

-Wide Open: Shot shaping is almost zero on many, many holes. There simply aren't any obstacles, or the obstacles are so solitary that they are easy to work around. A touch boring.

-Shade: Another effect of no trees is no shade. It's blistering in the summer sun.

-Wind: Another effect of no trees is lots of wind, sometimes a debilitating amount.

-Variety: About the only holes that feel excitingly different are (13) and (16) throwing through thin stands of trees and (14) throwing into a sparse grove. Otherwise it's grip it and rip it.

-Parring: A small con. The pars on the signs are often quite high by modern standards. Really these are all par 3's, but marked course par is closer to 66 (depending on pin placements).

I think this course would have stood out for its inclusion of all amenities in past years, but there are enough very good courses here in 2020 that Lenora is really quite low on my list of 18-hole courses. It's great for ripping out your drivers if a local. UPDATE: Having played even more courses now, I think Lenora is too wide open to run with most of my other 18-hole courses. I love playing it, but trying to rate objectively I think it's Reasonable.

-Parking: Make sure to use the park entrance near the ball fields (not near the water park). Park in the lot on your left next to ball fields, and the practice basket will be just across the road.

Concrete tees, well maintained, easy to navigate, decent signage, good for practicing major rips. Only a few technical holes - mostly clear, long rips. Some elevation changes - moderately hilly as Atlanta courses go.
Located in a great park

Not very technical
Wind can be brutal
Some potential for conflict with other park uses
Maybe a few short holes (<=275)

Only a few technical holes - mostly clear, long rips. Some elevation changes - moderately hilly as Atlanta courses go. A bit boring for me but the wind can make it very tough.

Perfect place to take your new long range driver and learn how to throw it as there is not a lot of places to find trouble. Wide open design. Great place to buy discs for very cheap at the Lenora Gym.

Not much imagination or skill shots needed.
Repetitive.

The course itself is out in the open and you can see almost the entire course from hole #1 on the hill. There's nothing like taking your new long range driver to a course and trying to control it through tight fairways and havng a frustrating time doing so. This course gives you TONS of breathing room and a great place to take out all those drivers and let em rip. Because of the open design, the course is a bit deceiving in terms of difficulty. The holes have some length to them so even though you don't get into a lot of trouble often, you still have distance to achieve. I will use this place as a training ground to get to know my new drivers from time to time. Also, a nice added touch of brooms at each tee pad to sweep off debris if needed.

Open fields. Few trees. Nice rolling hills. Course wasn't very crowded so we didn't ever wait. Decent views all around. Good practice basket on the way to hole one. Hole one is by the red barn near the baseball feilds.

I feel like it is the same hole over and over again.

Good practice couse.

wide open so you should not loose any discs. it's fun for beginners. very nice park.

the first time i went i could not find my way around very well, lucky i found someone to play with.

if you want to just get out and enjoy the day this is a good place to go and chuck some discs around.

Once you find #1, it's all well marked. Large cement pads flush with ground, some with brooms provided. Very well manicured grounds allow for rollers. Significant length for some bombers shots (yet no 2-drive holes). Scenic.

Bring your own shade. No real hazard- no water/rough/OB roads. Too open to craft shots or have distinct 'fairways'.

Tough to rank above average when it's this open and not too varietal.
