A passable, if unmemorable beginner friendly course

Reviewed: Played on:May 8, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Ample parking by front and back 9. Easy to tee from 1 or 10. Portapoddy and restroom in between both nines that's accessible.

Elevation changes on most holes, the course is laid out around two valleys with a ridge separating them.

Course is prone to wind as it's so wide open and on a hill so a great place to practice that.

Some greens have interesting challenges, they are on slopes and have rollaway or long comebacker potential.

Fairly new veteran baskets in great shape. You're not going to get a spit out with these heavy chains.

Paved concrete tee pads. Tee signs on every hole.

Navigation is intuitive with each tee pad visible from the previous hole.

Very beginner friendly course with almost no gaps to hit. Distances are reasonable, every hole is reachable for an intermediate level player, a 300' foot arm will have a chance at birdie on 16+ holes.

The one hole I do really like that I would award the signature hole to is Hole #2. It's a downhill par 4 with a very tricky green to stick and a guarded approach.

Cons:

Despite being well maintained and having good facilities, the course has a low ceiling because of its wide open nature and honestly a bit boring design. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I could design a better course in this park, but it's limited with how few trees it has. If you're of a reasonable skill level, probably an intermediate or better player, you'll really be able to score. Shooting -10 or better isn't out of the question if you get hot. When you've got Cedar and Oaks this course just seems very vanilla. I would even put Naval Hill above this course, even with its pretty lame back 9.

Completely subjective but I'm just sort of neutral on veteran baskets. The cages are quite high so they're less forgiving on the height of your putt. I've had spit throughs and push outs on the edges of the chains as they are spread fairly wide across the basket and are quite heavy. But again no spit throughs or spit outs if you hit center so that's good.

No water fountain or water source.

TONS of non disc golfers in this often crowded park. You're often having to shoo kids away from holes 7 and 9 as they are right by a playground.

The wind can frustrating and turn this into a bit of a feast or famine experience. You can shred in calm conditions and only grab a handful of birdies in a stiff wind... which makes you feel terrible knowing how straightforward the course is.

Other Thoughts:

If you're a local and you're just starting to play this is a great course to learn on. And then you can head over to White House and play the short baskets to hone your woods game a bit more.

But if you're visiting town and looking for a course to play I'd recommend going another 15 mins north to Cedar Hill.

Over the Rolling Hills 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 8, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

All the basics of a pleasant round of discing.

-Amenities: Seems the Music City club has done a good job revitalizing this course. Concrete/paver tees, good signage that has pertinent info and a design flair, new DD Veteran baskets with numbers, next tee arrows on each basket.

-Terrain: Nothing spectacular and all very homogenous, but a good environment. Basically every hole plays along some kind of hill, and there are enough trees to be interesting as well.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: Basic shaping and power requirements render Two Rivers an enjoyable hills course. There are no advanced-level challenges due to the sparseness of the trees, but rather a steady diet of 300'-400' holes with hills and a couple of big branches. A couple of holes in the long positions are par-4s, with (12) long easily being the star hole as it works up to a line of trees at the top of a hill and then down again to the basket after hitting a gap. A couple of the other par-3s are notable for their steeply downhill fun factor coupled with some strategic tree placement.

-Multi-Pins: Two to four pin positions on each hole, which are clearly denoted by color on the tee signs. I think periodic changes would be a good freshener.

Cons:

-Homogeneity: The course doesn't change much throughout. The same big fields with the same hills throwing the same difficulty of shot.

-Start/End Points: A small quibble is that (9) and (18) don't finish particularly near (1).

-Flow: The (9) to (10) transition is woefully long. Most players will probably accidentally go to (17) like me before they spot (10).

-Old Tees: No points off, but it's kind of weird to see the old tee pads still scattered throughout the field.

Other Thoughts:

It's hard to complain about Two Rivers, but it's also hard to find anything stellar to praise. It's an easygoing round among the hills, and a pretty Typical course all around.

Another Scoop Of Vanilla 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

(2.616 Rating) A park style course with big open rolling fields and big ole trees.
- NEW LAYOUT - First and foremost, and imo, this layout is better than the second rendition, which I'm guessing existed from 2011 to 2019 based on the old layout reviews. However, the space the course uses is still the same parcel of land and thus it's still shackled by what was achievable due to the site's natural limitations. Me expecting the new layout to become the next Nashville gem, was about on par with me expecting Chick Fil A to be open on Sunday.
- EQUIPMENT - The old baskets are still here, just in different spots, but there's also 18 new baskets on the layout. I want to say there were two baskets on all but two holes. I like it when a course has options to throw at. Still one set of tees, like the old layout. Some are the same tee as before, but there are new tees as well using pavers for construction.
- SIGNAGE AND NAVIGATION - A major improvement on the signage. They look great and have all the info one would need. Navigation itself was good, but not flawless. I generally like seeing the marked basket spokes on these types of open park style courses. Apparently there's a direction arrow on top of the basket, but I didn't notice it until looking at the DGCR pictures post round.
- REC FRIENDLY - This course will be a Recreational delight. Lots of two and three hundred foot long holes and a few short par 4s. Disc loss potential will be low and searching for a disc will be limited to just a couple locations on the layout. I don't think novices will be overwhelmed and Intermediates should be content with the challenges. Probably not the ideal course for beginners due to the distances, but it's manageable.
- MAINTENANCE - This appears to be the type of park that's mowed regularly and well maintained.

Cons:

This is a typical course with only minor issues.
- SAMENESS - Despite the upgrades and revised layout, the course environment still feels very similar to the old course, which was very monotonous. I played the old course about three years earlier and I'm certain, holes (10-13) were old holes (1-4), which were thankfully the few better holes on the old course. Anyways. The landscape and backdrop is just like I remember... bland. Sure there are some cool big trees and some nice 40 foot elevation movements, it's just so similar through-out. Many of the holes have already blended together in my memory.
- SPACING - There's a lot of course jammed into a small space. Add in the fact that there are very few bordering trees between fairways and moderate slopes, discs are bound to find other fairways from time to time. In addition, there are some low use park roads and walking paths that come into play a couple times. Overall, not the worst I've seen in terms of spacing, just below average a bit.
- FLOW GAP - The distance between (9) and (10) is a 700 foot walk. Players are going to need a map, or they will struggle to find the next tee.
- TERRAIN - Cart friendly but lots of ups and downs. Not the best course for those with knee pain. I don't take points off for this.
- PARKING - The parking area is not that big. There was a mini about to go on as we were finishing up and there were a bunch of people parked on the side of the park road. I took off 0.001 points.

Other Thoughts:

I wasn't too impressed by the old layout, so the fact that they tried to spice things up again, intrigued me to make another go at it. The new Two Rivers is better and would qualify as a decent play now, although much of my ½ point uped score between versions comes from the vast equipment upgrades. Two Rivers still won't win any major awards, or even ever challenge any of the top tier metro area courses, but it's now going to draw a bunch of regulars within a ten minute drive. Still the closest course to the Grand Ole Opry concert hall and resort. So still an easy course to check off if heading to Nashville for that aspect. For those that can travel further from this spot, the first course choices should be either Cedar Hill, Cane Ridge, Seven Oaks or Sharp Springs.
- CHALLENGE - The skills required to score well here are very similar to the old course, which was not that staggering. First, one needs to possess 350-foot power off the tee. A 250-foot arm will get slayed by a 350-foot arm. Second, be able to miss one or two trees. Third, make all your putts inside 20 feet. Those that can do these three things will conquer this course.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Average
- TIME PLAY - Average.
