From Meh To Yeah!

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 7, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Only 5 minutes of of I-10, this well-balanced course has transformed from a ho-hum 10-holer to one of the most fun courses on the MS Gulf coast. 18 new red-banded Discatchers are there to greet your on-target putts. It's moderately wooded with defined lines you have to hit at the right speed to score well. Most holes are deuceable for the average golfer, and there's little chance of losing your beloved plastic.

The new holes on the west side of the park are still rugged but very playable. Holes 9, 11, 12 and 18 let you show off your arm if you have one. Hole 10 is a 280ft alley shot that can be birdied, but you have to throw a really crisp FH drive that fades at the very end. It's my favorite hole on the course. Hole 5 is 300ft with a hanging basket, There are several ace runs on the front 9.

Signage is minimal but good enough. The arrows hanging under the baskets are very helpful to get you to the next tee. There is a store with bathrooms, and there's camping on site with full hook-ups! There's also a killer playground for the kids that includes a water park and access to the Jordan River. This very well could end up being my new home while we're house-hunting in the area.

Cons:

Dirt tees. If this course saw heavy use this could be a problem. There are a lot of short holes under 200 feet, but they aren't automatic birdies. The course may be a mud pit after a heavy rain, especially the area where the new holes are.

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoy playing here and prefer this course over Hiller simply because I don't have to worry about losing my discs in the water. It's definitely worth a play if you're passing through the area.

18 holes now

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 27, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice new baskets. Restrooms on site. Nice mix of terrain with elevation mixed in. Nice clean park. Good signage. Easy navigation. Good flow. Mix of short and longer holes. Not crowded at all when we were there.

Cons:

Course is a work in progress and needs some seasoning and cleanup in places. Tee pads are not finished yet. Multi use so be careful.

Other Thoughts:

This is a redesign and previous reviews do not reflect the quality of the course now. With some better tee pads and a little more work this could be a solid 4. My buddy who was with me was also very impressed with the course. The course starts just to the right as you enter the park. Previous reviews mentioned pay to play and there is a gated entry but it's after you get to the course. We parked right at number 1 and never drove through the gate. Some of the holes could be an issue with other park users but mostly the holes are away from multi use areas
