1) Beautiful and spacious park adjacent to the river with some great scenic views. The course was set up in the long pin positions (used for the DGPT Silver Series Vintage Open if you want to view video footage of the course before playing)

2) Excellent large textured concrete tee pads, nice full color tee signs with hole maps and includes the multiple possible pin placements and distances for each, nice Discatcher baskets in good shape. Kiosk with course map in case you need it.

3) Nice easy to follow course flow. We utilized U-Disc since the course was set up in the pro layout, but only needed it occasionally to verify we were in the right spot.

4) Solid mix of open bomber holes coupled with some very skinny technical wooded holes. Mix in the mild elevation changes and carefully designed shot shapes, this course has enough variety to keep you entertained and just enough teeth to challenge your game.

5) Hole 1-5 are pretty open park style golf with a few trees to beat here and there, mostly in the longer distance range (400+ foot par 3's for example) Then at Hole 6 you dip off into the woods for some welcome shade from the Arkansas sun for multiple mid to long tight wooded Par 3's and 4's.

6) Hole #8 (on this layout at least) was spectacular. Uphill tight tunnel Par 3 with a very low ceiling with the green atop a large plateau style outcropping of natural rock probably 15 feet above the playing surface. A very well designed challenging hole with character and a memorable view.

7) Hole #16 (on this layout at least) was a very nice shortish (300 feet) Par 3 slightly downhill to a true island green roughly the size of circle 2 and completely surrounded by water (minus a small land bridge). Very demanding shot, with a fair landing zone. The backdrop is gorgeous as a wall of sheer cliffs lines the distant left side, the river and dam at your back, and the open expanse of rolling grassy hills to your right make this a memorable hole, even if the difficulty isn't super high.

8) A very well balanced course with pretty much equal right and left hand tee shots. Some of the longer holes do tend to benefit the righty backhand hyzer, but I still found it fair to us lefties.

9) Course was mowed well and the wooded holes main fairways were mulched out with the rough being left a little thick, but not allowed to grow crazy wild until you got deep off the fairway.

10) Lot of very large mature trees on the open holes whilst giving way to smaller younger trees in the heavily wooded section.

11) Campground on site for those needing a spot to stop along your journey (well patrolled by the local PD) Not a super busy course, as we played early on a Saturday morning and had the course to ourselves.

12) Course has a 19th hole, but it was on the other side of property behind Hole #1 and it wasn't part of our layout so we didn't play it.

1) Limited parking by Hole #1. There is probably only space for 10 or so vehicles and with a pavilion and bathroom nearby, chances are non disc golfers will take up some of those spots. In our case, dog walkers.

2) The tee sign for Hole #4 was broken out of the ground and laying beside the tee pad. It looked like a mower wasn't paying attention and ran into the pole and broke it off at the base. Not a huge con as things like that happen, and all the other tee signs were in perfect condition. As the course was freshly mowed, it may have been a very recent bit of damage and simply hadn't been repaired yet.

3) Insects. Arkansas in the summer beside the river diving in and out of the woods in this humidity will certainly bring upon the need to wear bug spray, and check yourself after the round for ticks.

4) Length. Not a con for most, but can be for some. Come prepared with water, and possibly a cart if you own one, as this course is a VERY long loop that only circles back to the parking lot after 18 holes. Though only moderate in elevation, there is a lot of long walks throughout, especially if you play the pro layout.

5) As with most park settings, there are several holes near buildings, pavilions, and roadways. Be on the lookout for cars, joggers, bikers, and dog walkers.

Very easy course to locate just off the I-40 with the amenities to allow one to stay overnight. We used it as an overnight stop on our way west and played the course in the morning. This course provides a little bit of everything so that even less experienced and less skilled golfers can enjoy it, despite being long and semi demanding, we found it to be a wonderful experience and a ton of fun. There is another disc golf course in the area that unfortunately we did not get to play, but this course, coupled with the views, amenities, and easy access off I-40 would by itself be a destination course I would recommend to any one traveling the I-40 between Oklahoma City and Little Rock.

Awesome view of the river on holes 9 and 10. Nice mix of open holes/tree holes.

Lost a roc3 long on 16. Water was pretty deep. Wind coming off the river makes the first 4 holes a little bit tougher!

Nice that the parking is just a few feet from the 1st tee and the 18th basket.

+ Friendly disc golf atmosphere.

- Limited parking by hole one.
- Some fairways play along park roadways so take care.
- Course does not loop back to parking lot during round so pack for 18 holes.

Easy access from Interstate 40 makes this course a must play for the true disc golf enthusiast . Upon pulling into the parking lot the smell of fresh cut grass was in the air and mild temps and a slight breeze with the sun shining made for a glorious round of disc golf. This course I believe will satisfy most all disc golfers. Open, technical, elevation, water,and a few bomber holes to boot. Love this course and will always stop and play when passing through. Moreover, a short distance away is another quality disc golf course called Pleasant View DGC. When talking disc golf courses Russellville, Arkansas has got it going on.

Good tee boxes

Good signs
Good baskets
Solid design
Scenic
Well cared for
Nice mix of technical, water, open holes

None really

This course checks all the boxes for what you want in a course. Its rated a little high for me and thats the main reason i think locals shouldnt be able to review courses on here, they always over rate their own courses. This isnt one of the 50 best courses in america as the rating indicates but ill be back to pkay this course again. It has everything you want in a course.

If you are passing through on I40 hit this course up!

Great holes, great scenery, very well designed. many signature holes and very well thought out.

non really but some benches on the course would make it amazing.

first time I played this course It whooped me, but it is one of those courses you can play all day. Russellville and the local designer have done a good job making their town a disc golf destination.

Good course, LOTS of variety in the holes, and has an awesome water hole. It was great with a bunch of ace runs, and many birdie opportunities.

I can not think of any real complaints I had.

Well suited for both Righties and Lefties

Starts put long, but gets technical and has good elevation from hole to hole.
Few ace runs and lots of birdies.
Verity of challenging shots
Good workout

Elevation
The nuclear reactor causes discs to be super stable
