A Park with some baskets. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 29, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

- It is a really nice park with nice facilities. There are indoor restrooms in the pavilion near holes #1-#3.
- There is some effort being put into this course. Brand new concrete tee pads on most of the front 9.
- City employees were friendly. I know that the city has interest in providing disc golf for the community.
- Looking at this course in a vacuum, it was decently fun. It isn't super long, but you have to throw some different lines and you get to see the disc fly, which isn't always the case in East TN.
- If you are in the area and want to play tournaments, several are offered here throughout the year.

Cons:

- Navigation is horrendous. There is no board with a course map or any markings signifying that you are at a disc golf course. The start is hard to find and not intuitively placed in relation to the parking lot. There are no tee signs. There are only tee pads on a handful of holes. The other teeing areas are marked with dull blue paint.
- Safety concerns. Hole #2 is blind and finishes close to a play ground. Turn over or grip lock a RHBH on #3 and you are throwing into a playground. You have the opportunity to throw into a tennis court, over a basketball court, and into a swimming pool. There are benches near baskets and baskets near parking lots. I have a hard time seeing this course being playable on a nice evening or weekend or even a summer day.

Other Thoughts:

I don't want to dump on this course too much because I know that the local disc golf community is working to improve the course and the city is open to listening. And the course play itself isn't terrible.

However, given the location, the navigation and safety concerns, and the number of great courses in Knoxville, Morristown, and the Tri-Cities, I have a hard time recommending this course to anyone that doesn't live in the immediate area.
