Pros:

- good quality baskets
- good quality concrete tees
- good quality tee signs
- huge variety in distances ranging from 180 to 750 feet, with multiple par 4s and 5s
- plenty of tree to force tight lines and specific shots
- plenty of shade for hot days
- two sets of tee pads on every hole

Cons:

- little to no elevation change, completely flat
- some tee signs are getting sun faded

Other Thoughts:

Great course on a great piece of land

Montissippi 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 8, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Parking, port-a-potty, garbages all located in a convenient area where the front nine and the back 9 start and end.
+ Map of park (Including course!) by garbages.
+ Intuitive navigation with a good amount of Next Tee signs
+ What little elevation there is is used well
+ Excellent mix of open/wooded and long/short holes
+ Dual concrete tees
+ Short tees offer a different line of sight to the basket, so long tees aren't just adding distance.
+ This course avoids the playground and walking paths almost entirely, I think there are 2 or 3 times when you cross the walking path, but it's always between holes.
+Friendly local players, had conversations with 4 different groups in one round, all of which gave me little tips on upcoming holes and other courses in the area.

Cons:

- Very dusty when I played, I assume it gets very muddy when it rains. Bring a towel.
- I was a little disappointed that the river didn't come into play at all, but I understand why they didn't do that as they would have had to play along the walking path too much.
- Raspberry brambles make up most of the rough. Wear long pants or control your disc better.

Other Thoughts:

I was told this course ha been up for 3 months. It looks like 30 years with how beaten in it is. My hope is that upkeep includes mowing fairways that are just dust now because the plants that sprout there will grow very fast.
This course doesn't offer anything new, but does things you've seen before very well.
A rock solid course that I will happily drive an hour to play.
This was a great way to finish a good day, despite the heat, humidity, and rain.
