I had wanted to play 'The Moo' since it opened, though none of the folks I talked to about had much good to say about it. All I heard was 'it's okay, wicked tight at time'. Not much of an endorsement. But I was interested in the single tee / dual basket approach. Only exception is hole #1 / #10 which has 2 tee pads. That piqued my interest.

After three holes I was thinking, 'this ain't so bad'. A bit tight (starting at #3 / #12) but fun. Then I ran into holes #4 / #13 and was like, 'someone missed a memo on hole design. Only thing cool on this hole is the round tee pad. Not sure why they did this, but it was different. Just when I thought 4 /13 was bad, hole 5 / 14 was terrible (I'll go more into that later)

Once through this gauntlet of superb disappointment, the course smoothed out some and finished well...

Hole #1 / #10...#1 is fun, forehand or hyzerflip to the basket...#10 Is a full charged blast, slight hyzer to the basket

Hole #2 / #11...#2 is a fun mid-range downhill open blast...#11 is the same shot, just about 50' longer and to the left

Hole #3 / #12...#3 is uphill TIGHT and turns hard left...#12 is TIGHT and straight up hill and long. Need something straaaight.

Hole #4 / #13...#4 downhill, HAS NO LINE. A perfect example of poke and pray...#13 is slightly better with a laserbeam narrow gap to the basket

Hole #5 / #14...I profoundly find this hole disturbing. On #5 there is a STRAIGHT DOWN ravine about 10'-15' deep with no access. The basket is near the edge of the ravine. To have any shot of a birdie/par you must flirt with the edge of the ravine and PRAY you don't hit a tree (lots of trees). We put four in the ravine and it was a b*#%h to get them back. Someone is going to get hurt, possibly severely...#14 is 543', straight through the forest...no line, just acres of trees. It's poke and hope for the first 300'. Thankfully it opens op the last 200' feet so you have an approach.

#6 / #15...IDENTICAL to #3 / #12, just longer

#7 / #16...ALMOST identical to #2 / #11 except #16 is tucked back way right. Not a bad hole, just longer than # 2 / #11

#8 / #17...Finally a quality hole. Got to throw a hard, strait blast up a hill and through a gap where the land opens up. #8 is an easy (once you clear the uphill shot) birdie or par...#17 is 150' longer. And for some reason, they mount the #17 basket on an 9' pole. You have to step on bricks to be able to get your disc out of the basket. Kids and women might have a high problem doing this. It makes no sense.

#9 / #18...both of these shots are fun. #9 is about 170' (sign says 192, but can't be) up a tight narrow fairway....#18 is a hyzerflip, mostly flat shot of around 200'. But also very tight.

Geez, where do I begin...the 4/13 & 5/14 could be better, actually much better. Try cutting a gap through the trees...something. Kids/new players will hate this. The ravine on 5/14 is treacherous. If the ravine was a small creek, I would love the hole. But the risk of injury is so freakin' high, they should pull it.

Navigation was not easy. Thankfully I played with folks that were familiar with the course otherwise I would have been lost several times

I do want to extend kudos to the folks that put the course in. That was some hilly terrain and thick woods. It could not have been easy. So for that, I thank you.

Do not through anything green during the summer. You will lose it. Some of the kudzu and high grass made finding discs nearly impossible.

The mosquitos were horrid, bring bug spray

I might update this review in a few years once the course has settled in. But I won't be making a trip out of my way to play it again. One and done is fine with me...for now.

The Moo gets credit for one of the most interestingly named courses I've played. As for the course itself, this is the sound a doggy makes.
- What is a 9-hole course? Answer is this course. 9 fairways with dual tee pads still equals a nine-hole course. Don't believe me? Try playing groups on #1 & 10 concurrently.
- As for a nine-hole course, it's got some good flavor. Holes #5/14 & 7/16 are far and away the course's two best. #14, at 543 feet, with an OB creek drop-off playing the right side of the fairway, would fit into any high-level course.
- #7/16 is great for it's downhill over a small creek. Having played Shaver Championship earlier in the day, the creek weaving along the putting circle was a familiar sight. This was my favorite tee shot on the entire course.
- Excellent tee signs. With 9 holes and 18 baskets crammed into such a tight space, it would be easy to get lost/skip holes without adequate signage. High quality signage is a huge help.
- Some holes/dual baskets give truly different looks if you play through a second time - #1, 5, and 9 are good examples. Other holes - #4 & 6, for example - not so much.
- Course requires accuracy over big arms. With some fairways more heavily wooded, the risk/reward factor comes into play. Holes #4 & 6 are both sub-200-foot layouts. Holes can be ace runs or potential bogeys if you get a bad kick off a tree and are stuck in no-man's land.

Course designers were too aggressive trying to cram too much into too little of a space. The course would be fantastic as a true 9-hole layout. By adding a second set of baskets, you now bring holes much closer together.
- Along those lines, with dual baskets per hole, you're left with three essential hole types: a fairway that has been overly stripped down/is way too wide, meaning it's lost its charm & appeal. #2/11 & 7/16 suffer from this layout.
- Second, you have a fairway that doesn't truly fit either basket. Instead of cutting a fairway that will accommodate two baskets, you're left with one fairway with awkwardly placed baskets. Baskets for #8/17, 11, and 18 seem they were squeezed in at the end.
- Third, is a hole type with baskets that are too close so you're essentially playing the same hole twice. #4/13, 6/15, and 7/16 are examples of this hole type.
- A few more next hole arrows would help. Tee signs point you to the next tee; however, if you haven't looked at it, it's easy to end up on the wrong hole. After playing #2, I headed to #7, before having to back track and find the basket for #3.

Moo would have been best served as a 9-hole only course. It would have allowed a couple holes to add a little more room to sprue up the three shorter holes, #3, 4, & 6.
- It's impressive that they were able to squeeze in an excellent, par 4, 500-foot plus hole with the lack of space. #14 is akin to #5 at Timmons, just with a slightly longer layout and without the large bailout area to the left. It really is an excellent hole.
- From the long tees, course is 2871 feet, with four holes playing longer than 350 feet. To its credit, you do have chances to pull out driver on #10, 11, & 14. This isn't a 3-disc only course.
- Course does have some general vibes of a 9-hole version of Woodruff Leisure Center. The main difference is the 9 vs 18 hole factor. Playing the same tees twice, albeit to separate baskets, is what makes Woodruff a far superior course.
- I'm grading and viewing this course closer to a 9-hole course than an 18-holer. The couple holes that have genuine different feels (5/14 and 9/18) can be viewed as genuinely separate holes. Most of the rest are genuinely the same hole twice. My reasoning? On holes such as 3/12, 4/13, and 7/16, for example, one well placed tee shot means you're putting at both basket locations.
- Playing the best layout for each tee/fairway (1 vs 10, 2 vs 11, etc.), you have an excellent 9-hole course. As such, that's how I'm viewing this. A fun nine-hole layout. If you play a second go around with the second set of baskets, view it as a bonus.
