PARK DESCRIPTION - This is a very impressive, hilly, wooded park. The start is great with a nice new pavillion with about six picnic tables inside. It faces the # 1 fairway on one side and the basket and approach of # 18 behind.

PARKING - There are about six spots here at the start. Most players will need to park by 12 & 13 or maybe by the # 4 tee.

VARIETY - I think this course has a nice variety of ups, down, rights and left, short Ace runs and longer twisting holes on rugged downslopes.

CHALLENGE - Heck, I was challenged plenty but when I see the overall distances, this course really is a wonderful, hilly, recreational 18. That explains why I liked it so much. Holes 13 & 14 are both very short but 13 has added an island for just a bit more challenge and on # 14, the raised basket adds just a touch more challenge. Would I dare say that holes 10, 17 and 18 are more challenging and might fall into the category of intermediate challenge?

EQUIPMENT - Everything is top notch from the big colored course sign, nice textured trapezoid tee pads, Discatchers with yellow bands w/numbers and flags on top where needed, excellent large tee signs and next tee signs throughout the course. Benches are everywhere on the paths which you'll often walk across.

AESTHETICS - I really liked the fact that the course and the walking path seems to co-exist in harmony. The park is lovely and peaceful.

FUN FACTOR - I think it's perfect for rec players but obviously seems to bore much of the disc throwing population.

ROUTING/NAVIGATION - Fairly easy with all the next tee signs helping you through any tricky places.

Recreational distances and challenge.

I actually saw traces of litter.

Hole 17 with its downward sloping fairway doesn't seem really popular.

Strange parking situation.

Some areas seem to be known for a certain type of courses. The Chicago area is well known for its preponderance of flat, nine-hole rec courses. The Charlotte area is known for its tough advanced level courses like Nevin, Hornet's Nest, Renny Gold, Winthrop and more.

After playing courses around Atlanta, I'm thinking Atlanta has a large grouping of fun, 18's that are tweeners, that is, they're more challenging than a recreational level but fall short of being called intermediate level. Courses I would include in this tweener 18 category would include; Frog Rock, Oregon Park, East Roswell, Wills Park, Suwanee Creek, Little Mulberry, Fort Yarbo, Mathews, Rosewood- DeKalb which is at the lower rec level, Deer Lick and many others I haven't had the pleasure of playing.

Suwanee Creek is on the lower end of my tweener scale on the challenge side, playing at way more of a recreational level but rating high for beauty, ambiance and my own personal enjoyment. I'd like to take it home with me.

Decent signage, great tee pads, well laid-out, good variety (balanced between favoring RHBH/LHBH players)

A little messy (no brooms at tee pads to tidy up),

This is my first review. I just couldn't let this course have two stars when East Roswell Park is rated 3.5 (I'm rating this one a 3.0). The course was in decent condition despite poor weather before I played it. The tee boxes are excellent: they're all concrete with grooves to prevent slipping.

PLEASE NOTE: upon entering the park, make a left. After a few seconds, you'll come up to the tee for hole #1. There are only four parking spaces, so if you want to play the holes in order, you may need to drive farther and walk back.

You probably won't need any drivers. This course is extremely short and wooded. Great for practicing up-shots and accurate throws. It's not my cup of tea (I prefer Alexander Park when I can "grip it and rip it") but a great course for a quick, short round.

- Great signage
- Fun, short course
- Great place to work on your short game
- Well manicured park
- Tough lines will advance your game
- Great place to bring beginners

- Too many trees leave too much to chance.
- Some holes have VERY difficult lines, but make the most of them!
- 15, 16, and 17 are all doglegs to the right, maybe a bit of overkill here? Variety would make this stretch of the back 9 better.

I think this course is underrated. Is it my first option when I want to go play? No. Is it the worst course I've played? NO! Some of these reviews are WAY too harsh. Tough lines? Good! Advance your game! I believe that the course is short and challenging. It's tough to make par. Most holes are very tight.

Great tee pads
Good signage (though a little under exaggerated like others have said
Good directions (except to 12 as noted)
Good variety of straight/left/right holes
Great shade and walking paths to and from holes

Short
Navigation from 11 to 12 is kind of wonky but could be solved with a sign

I have read the other reviews and cannot help but feel that maybe some of you folks did not come with the right bag for this course. I used 3 discs and so did my wife.

The #1 disc for this course is a gator, if you don't have one in your bag, I can see how this course could be miserable. I also used a champ cobra and my putter. The cobra is great for turnovers or the required layups.

I know a lot of people just can't find it in their hearts to lay-up on holes, but there are a few here that almost require it. It is either lay-up or take the 5% chance you will hit the perfect line.

I cannot stress enough how important a gator is here. Backhand/Forehand, maybe even some tomahawks for the tighter lines.

I did not find this course to be any tighter than some of the other, higher rated courses in the area, I didn't find it unfair either.

I have not played in over a year and we had a good time playing this course. I'm glad we stepped away because I think we were getting too serious about it and not enjoying the sport for what it is.

The "signature" hole for me is 18, its a nice down/up ravine affair. We played the harder tee to the left with the pin in the right position, it had more shade.

We started at 4, the hole next to the bathroom as it was the first parking lot we came to and seemed like a good place to start. It certainly made the wide open shot on 1 a bit tricky after trying to carve tight lines the whole way.

I think this is a fun course. It might beat up new players a little much, but I'm not sure, like I said, we hadn't played in quite some time and didn't have too much problem with it.

Bottom line, leave your drivers in the car and work on your mid game.
