This is one of two courses relatively close together in area about 15 minutes north of downtown Mobile. The course is pretty easy to navigate overall with a nice flow to it. Obviously the amount of land available for design was very small and it appears the designers used every inch they could to squeeze out 9 holes and did a pretty decent job in my opinion.

With the exception of the 2nd hole I would say the fairways are pretty distinguishable for a wooded course. As I often comment for wooded courses I tend to be on the look out for pinball fairways and or pinball greens. For the most part the greens here are very fair and its easy enough to keep a disc in the fairway if you're a straight thrower. Even if you hit a tree and spray off the underbrush is manageable making losing a disc difficult.

With use of the innova DISCatcher baskets they are very easy to see through the trees.

If you're in a pinch for time this is a very quick course to play. I think I finished the entire thing in under 30 minutes.

There is not a lot of other traffic. You don't have to worry about hitting anyone else on the course. Of note though with the limited land some of the tees and pins are relatively close so just be aware of the occasional errant long throw.

Of course the first thing you see about the course is that it is only 9 holes. Again, not a total deal breaker but I feel like for most golfers if they're going to go out of their way to play a course would prefer 18.

The holes themselves are also very short. For more advanced players you will not require a driver off the tee. A couple of good stable to under-stable mid-range discs and a putter should do the trick.

There is a lodge on site but as is pointed out in the previous review it is only really open for special events and meetings so there's not a clear bathroom that's easily accessible there. There was a port-a-john near the 2nd hole though.

I always put this as a con but on a short course like this I don't know if many would agree but natural tee pads. I just personally am not a fan but on a short course like this I don't think it matters too much.

Its still rough around the edges in terms of stray branches, rough terrain etc. so watch your footing while it gets smoothed down.

I traveled up to play this course knowing I was going to go across the way and play the course in Creola afterwards. This proved to be a nice quick little round to help loosen up the arm a bit. So while I wouldn't necessarily recommend driving a decent ways to play just this one course, in conjunction with the other course I think its worth a play.

For the locals this will be a nice course to work on the short game and help with some shot shaping for mid-range discs. For beginners I think this is a nice introduction to wooded golf.

I was also a little confused about parking and so grabbed a spot by the lodge but as I finished my round noticed several other locals who were pulling up who basically just parked by 1's tee pad.

• on-site facility (port-o-john) and picnic table near hole 2
• Garbage cans every few holes
• Plenty of opportunity to hone your finesse

• no bag holders, if that's your thing
• Holes are rather short
• I didn't see a water fountain, but that doesn't mean there isn't one near the lodge or maybe by the boat ramp?

This is a nice little zig-zaggy course with evidence of recent play and, from the glowsticks on the Discatchers, some night games.

It's your classic, woody course that requires some finesse to miss the trees and no water hazards, but most of the holes are pretty short - it didn't seem like there were many over 300'. I think it could be argued that a lot of the holes are par 2.

There was a box marked scorecards but it was empty. (No biggie) No real signage, but the course is well marked with posts and arrows, and as the course is on the short side it's easily navigable.

There were a few mosquitoes out and more than a few bees/hornets buzzing around the ground in the rough, which I'd think would be a seasonal hazard.

After entering the park if you drive toward the boat ramp you'll see tee 1 on your left. Seems to me like sometimes one could get away with parking near there but there were so many trucks w/ empty boat trailers that I decided to park in the lodge parking lot. I'm not sure if the lodge is open to the general public for restrooms, but I didn't think so on account of the port-o-john near hole 2 - I could be wrong though, it was my first time here. All in all it's a decent little course.
