Nothing Little Here 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 27, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

The drive up to Little Mulberry Park is great for building anticipation. You drive through some nice hills and forest and hope that's what the course is like, and it is! LMP DGC plays through a great forest with no underbrush, so if you end up off the fairway (likely) you won't have to hunt through bushes and stand in ticks.

The elevation is just phenomenal. Nothing grueling, nothing canyon-like, but you can't ignore it. This is one of my favorite parts of a course, and playing here actually reminded me a little of Harmony Bends but shorter (and some other exceptions I'll discuss in the cons).

The tee pads are huge and grippy, the signs are detailed. There's two or three pin positions for each hole, which I usually don't care for, but this course did something amazing and marks each pin position for each hole on the tee sign! Made it great because a lot of these holes are blind from the tee. Baskets are the discatcher 28s, have some wear on them, but still do just fine.

Other than making a casual Harmony Bends comparison, I don't know how else I can say I loved this course.

Cons:

There biggest cons to me were the few holes (and I really only mean three, maybe four) where the fairways were too obstructed to have a clear line. A couple holes could use just a little more clearing out.

Another thing I really wish had happened is the water being a part of the course. There's a river and a lake in the park, but the course doesn't go anywhere near them. I think that added touch, plus the above trees being cleared, would make this a much more solid 4.5, to even 5.

The finish is ok. Holes 17 and 18 were not the best holes, especially hole 17. Hole 18 is a good hole, but doesn't have any extra umph to be a good finishing hole.

Other Thoughts:

I will say that overall I'd rate this course like a 4.3, maybe a 4.25. It's stronger than it's rating, in my opinion, so I rounded up to pull the average just a little bit.

I did NOT play well this round. And I still had a great time. I had one of the worst, most tree-hittingest, far-kickingest rounds of my life. But I still loved this course. Hole 9 or 10, the 900ft downhill par 5 was my favorite hole, and closest I've ever gotten to a throw-in eagle.

I already believed Atlanta was worthy disc golf destination, and this course just ups the catalog of great courses in the area. It adds to the list of Perkerson Park, Hobbs Farm, and the IDGC within a couple hours drive.

Great course in Dacula 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 12, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is aesthetically pleasing. 2 Concrete teepads on each hole are very well done, tee signs are superb even displaying elevation changes, multiple pins and which pin is present with rings and preferred landing zones. NexT signs are present on every hole as well. The course is clean and very well respected.

This course is designed to challenge you and make you throw certain shots with accuracy. Some back to back holes even challenge you, if you are a rightie, to throw a short anny and hold a line, then the very next hole says ok great now throw a long anny and hold the line. It is the concept of the course that makes you a better and more seasoned player in the woods. A lot of people overlook the fact that this is a great test of skill, perseverance and understanding of what the designers are wanting you to throw. Most of the teeshots here are intended to be thrown with a mid range.

Cons:

I am really stretching here..... the course is a great testament of your ability to throw a lot of different shots and is not boring?

All kidding aside, there are no cons here. Stop complaining about lines you think should be more open and get better at hitting the lines. Stop being frustrated that you hit a tree and realize that even when you do, the course allows you to recover and save par.

Other Thoughts:

I have not always loved this course until I played it today with a fresh mind. In the past I thought several holes were stupid and did not make any sense. Today I realized that even though hole 2 is a par 4, the concept is for you to throw an accurate line off the tee with a slower disc and land in an optimal landing zone to set up your next shot. Holes 3 and 11 challenge you to do what most courses do not and wants you to throw a slow disc on a line and let it hyzer out.

Can you hit the gaps and shoot under par? Accept the challenge and you will love a rare gem in the area at LMP. Great job RH and company!

Very Impressive! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 22, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

I loved this course! Super clean and all the stops were pulled. Every detail was thought of down to brooms on every teepad. Each hole was easy to follow from the signs being so well made. All lines are challenging and well defined but attainable. Fun course challenging almost every type of shot possible. Great shade and terrain. Would play it everyday if I could!

Cons:

Not even a con but cause we did not see the directions from this site we found the park entrance for the DG course on the third try! Lol

Other Thoughts:

Please build a replica of this course in south Florida!

Tough but fun! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 4, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- It's tough but great to course to get better
- Always on top of changing pins
- Two tee pads for each hole
- SUPER clean

Cons:

- Hole 10 is a great distance hole but lots of people don't realize it's a disc golf course so they hang out in the fairway
- Lots of trees

Other Thoughts:

This is one of the first courses I ever played and every time I play it I feel like I've gotten so much better because it's so hard. Super clean and a great hike.. it's definitely one of my favorite courses!

Pros:

Disc golf at its most basic centers around the concept of FUN. To walk into a park and it completely nod its hat to the disc golfer is a beautiful thing to witness. This particular acreage on Little Mullberry Park seems to have been completely allotted to the disc golf community. A very clean entrance onto the course with a water fountain right on the first tee shows this park welcomes the disc golfer. Being 2 years old and still maintaining the fairways, rough, tee pads, and signage also shows their dedication. Before reviewing a course, i like to read all the other reviews as to not become redundant on particular subject matter. That being said i found that most of the reviews heckled the grounds crew for not cutting down enough trees or clearing the "rough" out around fairways and chains. I found this course to be designed and maintained to a distinct specification. the fairway lines and flight paths of players disc should be strained at times. there were times i wished a particular tree would walk itself a little left or right for my drive or approach, but where is the fun in that? at no point however did i think there were any obtrusive trees or group of trees keeping me from playing a shot. the fairways are wide enough with multiple lanes to throw on 90% of the holes. Having a few bombing par 4s and even a super exciting par 5 makes this course challenging to all skill levels. Mingling within these 18 holes are also a few ACE race pin placements. Disc golfers from beginners to PDGA tourney regulars will appreciate all this course offers. I appreciate courses as parks first. Then ill scrutinize the layout of their disc golf course. The course rolls through the woods so effortlessly with gradual doglegs, sharp doglegs, landing zones on Par 4 and 5s, and the ever challenging elevation changing approaches. No hole is the same. its one of the very few courses I've played where all the shots i have in my bag were pulled out and tested. some do to the fact that i flubbed up a line and decided to try another shot for fun. This course allows for a great practice course for players. Lastly, i must address the fact that there is a massive playground right next to the course. BRING THE WIFE AND KIDS! i played fairly quickly and knocked this course out in about 1.5-1.75 hours. this is a dog friendly course as well.

Cons:

Without being redundant as i mentioned above, i feel as though if enough is said online about the lack of TRASH CANS on the course someone from Little Mullberry will see it! Other than that easily remedied problem, this park leaves me with nothing but satisfaction.

Other Thoughts:

I will be back, and i will ACE those race holes! Killed me today getting so close to the pins without the sound of chains being thrashed by my disc while im still planted on the teepad!

So much fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Multiple pins and dual tees. There are par 3's, 4's, and one par 5. The fairways are tight on some holes but very fair. Only the short ones are super tight. There was a lot of variety in the shots and it doesn't favor righties or lefties. Great signage and all the long tee pads had brooms to sweep debris off the pads. The flow for the most part is very good and there were next tee posts after every basket. Immaculate condition.

Cons:

Not many cons, but there could have a few more trash cans so people would not leave empty bottles and cans laying around. The walk from ten to eleven is a very long one.

Other Thoughts:

I had so much fun playing this course. I enjoyed all the different holes and think that the course should be a solid 4. It is definitely in the top 10 for me.

Best Course In NE Metro Area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 18, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

As other reviews have covered in more detail, each hole is well designed and has its own character.

Markers and signs are kept visible and up to date. The hole pictures are detailed so you can see exactly where you want to go. There's also a great map of the whole course right by hole 1.

The land the course is on is also incredible to walk. There are huge gullies which can be frustrating if your disc rolls into them, but are quite visually impressive and can be fun to climb into and out of. At times it feels like you are deep into the forest, which is a welcome escape from the suburbs which surround the park. Plenty of shade means that even on hot summer days it's not that difficult to play.

The fairways are very clean, but even if you miss the fairway there's not too much brush to struggle through.

Cons:

On several holes the basket is not really visible from the tee.

There aren't many trash cans throughout the course, so you have to be diligent if you bring anything with you. This does result in some scattered litter such as beer/soda bottles, but it's not very common.

Other Thoughts:

Maybe not the best course for beginners, but a thoroughly enjoyable course (and for the time being less crowded than some other options in Gwinnett such as Alexander and Lenora). Probably my favorite course that I've played.

Pros:

LMP is a crazy good disc golf course with almost everything you could want on it. You'll notice on the first tee the lovely new signs with maps, noting distance to each pin from each tee, elevation change, and eyscrews marked A, B or C and a key ring hanging in one indicating current pin location. Very useful because the basket is not always visible from the spacious concrete tees. I liked the first hole as a warm up, although the numerous trees around the basket resulted in a 3 putt bogey effort. Made par on hole 2, the first par 4 (of four total). Beginning on hole 3 the significant elevation changes kick in. Had a nice run at the 230' basket and I thought it was an ace, but it wasn't, and I missed a very makable birdie putt. Hole 4 is crazy. Also very much downhill, but much longer. There are some wild contours on th fairway, a long dogleg left, covered in what I would call moguls if they had snow on them. Tough par 3 where I made bogey again. 5 start back up the strange terrain, through some bigger trees. Another hard par 3 I couldn't handle first time out. I won't go hole by hole, but I will tell you to expect wooded fairways, defined well and giving access to the pin, but punishing errant throws with dense growth in many places. Hole 8, 9, and 10 is a hard way to make the turn, with back to back par 4's, then a par 5. Made bogey on 9, however I managed to come through it even, after an awesome approach shot parked my birdie bid right under the bucket on the 10th hole. 10 is the par 5 that is over 900' long, and traverses a much more open grassy meadow. The remainder of the back 9 is into the woods for more tricky placement shots. Could have layers up for an easy 3 on hole 18 and finished at 63, but I didn't and the 3 putt took me to 64.

Cons:

This is not a beginner friendly course, some may be frustrated by high degree of difficulty. There are no serious gripes for me, aside from lack of trash cans. Saw some litter, please pack out what you bring in, there is a receptacle near the 10th tee. No water hazards, but some soft ground was left from good rainfall a couple days prior.

Other Thoughts:

I think LMP is a top 5 in the state quality course, and Georgia has so many great ones. I was surprised how well established it felt for a fairly recent course placed in the often dense woods. I loved the challenging play, and feel like I could post a much better score with a few repetitions. I would give this course top priority to anybody who is thinking about their next disc golf trip in this area. Reminds me of a longer and more hilly version of Chester State Park.

Amazing course!! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 19, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The people that designed this course put a lot of thought into the shots. I played it yesterday and I love courses where I use every shot possible. Backhand, forehand, hyzer bomb, anny, skips, tomahawks and rollers. I used all of them. This is a tough course but still has a fun factor to it. The course is in tip-top shape and love the selection of trees left in the fairways to make/stop lines. Instantly in my top 10 or even top 5.

Cons:

Had to wait a while on hole 10 to try and get kids out of the "sand boxes." Not sure if those are there to slow rollers or what, but may want to consider moving the sand or place lots of "caution" signs by the sand for the kiddos. Finally gave up and just threw a short drive to get moving.

Hole 2... I like the first part of the fairway and had two great "placement" drives off the tee. But when I got to my disc in the landing zone, I did not have a clean second shot. No anny line, no clean hyzer line (got a lucky sneak hyzer to work the second time.)

That's about it, and that is just trying to find something to whine about. =)

Other Thoughts:

Curious to see how the sod holds up from shade, traffic and acidic pine needles.


Maybe a few more trash cans over time.
