Fails to Leave A Lasting Impression

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 20, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1) Initial impressions upon arriving are a well maintained park setting with a decent sized parking area, nice pavilion, playground equipment and a well used paved walking track. The views are nothing spectacular as you are right next to the interstate on one side with a water park on another. But the course is clean and well taken care of.

2) Hole design is what you would expect from park style course with limited trees and mostly open land. Course designer did well to incorporate multiple elevation changes and sloped greens where possible to provide a small challenge.

3) The course is very lightly wooded with quite a few elevation changes as stated above but it does well to provide variety even with it's limited design restraints. This is an extremely shredable course even for Recreational level players with strong winds probably being it's only actual defense. So if you like birdies, this course is for you.

4) There are only 3 par 4's on the course, two that are relatively short, one being very downhill and the other being very uphill. Both are in the 450 ft range making both of them a great chance at eagle for the longer throwers. The third (Hole #3) is a very long downhill par 4 that requires a placement shot off the tee and a choice of gap for your approach to a basket up on a levy. For shorter throwers, which this course appears to be obviously designed for, I'm a fan of two shot par 4's that require a placement shot to attack, and both of these holes do that (unless you have the above mentioned power) If there were a signature hole on this course, it would be Hole #3.

5) Most holes here are not what I would call signature or memorable, especially the back 9 as most holes will just blend together, but what the course lacks in memorable holes it makes up for in sprinkling in ace runs. There are several slightly uphill will a back stop behind par 3's that present the perfect opportunity to run it with forgiveness and there are a few pretty short downhill ace runs on the back 9 as well.

6) No water hazards or thick rough to risk losing a disc. (There is some woods alongside hole 3 and 6 but they are only a few feet deep before the property line fence and should not really come into play) Great course for beginners despite some of the holes being too far distance wise to score on early on in their disc golf journey.

7) For the most part I'd say 15 of the holes are expect a birdie and 3 may distance or shot shape some players out of a reasonable chance at birdie. There is very little cause for making a bogey on anything as OB while present should rarely if ever be an issue. If you are putting well, you should score well, unless you're me and go 2 for 15 inside circle 1.

Cons:

1) Bathroom facilities are a long way from the parking lot and basically at the end of the course (adjacent to Hole #17) so go before you start your round.

2) Another Nashville course hit hard by recent damaging storms and sadly lost some very iconic and hole defining trees on an already sparsely wooded course. Not the courses, clubs or designers fault, but it leaves a lot of holes just unimpressive now as a result.

3) There is a mix of large well built and textured tee pads on some holes while others have very narrow small ones showing signs of age, cracks, and uneveness.

4) The flow is a little strange if you are playing it for the first time as you have several long walks between holes without directional signs to help point the way. Hole 9 basket to Hole 10 tee for example and Hole 18 basket back to the parking lot are probably the two longest walks.

5) There aren't a whole lot of negatives to this course, but there is also very little that makes it stand off the page as well. It's a "good" course that does the disc golf thing well but doesn't excite you to go play. There isn't much room for growth or design changes that could make this course better either, so I'll give it a 3.0 as it does well it's intention, but is forgettable for non locals.

Other Thoughts:

For novice players and older players who lack distance that want to play an open course, this course is for you. More advanced players should look to the other great options Nashville has and skip this one, unless you are just trying to add this course to your played list.

Still no rivers in play but nice new amenities. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 17, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

- The Big 3: Two Rivers is incredible in this department. All 18 holes feature big paver tee pads, brand new Veteran baskets, and great new tee signage. Bonus points to the convenient next tee indicator arrows on the bottom of the baskets. The large paver tee pads are often dug into and landscaped into the hill sides (in order for them to be level). This is appealing on the eyes. The new tee signs are awesome as well. All information is included on these: hole number, par info, mandos, OB, pin locations, and next tee info.
- Multiple Pin Locations: This course features an average of a little over 2 pin locations for each hole. I counted 39 total with some holes having 1 location and some with 4. This is a great feature for local players to keep things interesting. Major kudos to this course for the current pin location signage system. Each pin location is assigned a color. Those colors are labeled on tee signage with corresponding par and distance info. Then there is colored tape on the pole below the sign with a bolt indicating the current color/location. This is one of those super cheap, easy things that any course could add and be a big improvement. Hope more courses catch on to this system.
- Parking Area: There is a large covered pavilion with picnic tables, trash cans, and a nice kiosk with a large course map. The course map is awesome labeling pars, distances, and pin location info.
- Turn: This course is a bit of a walker and might get you wanting a mid round break. The course returns close (enough) to the car and pavilion after #8.
- Elevation:This park features nice rolling hills. There are uphill, downhill, and cross slope shots. This helps to break up the openness of the course.

Cons:

- Basic: Two Rivers can feel repetitive and basic at times. There are just not enough trees or other obstacles in play here to give a big sense of good hole diversity. The openness also translates to mostly basic shot shaping. Some well placed shrubs specifically intended for the disc golf course could help to solve this issue in the future.
- Transitions: The biggest issue here is the walk from #9 basket to #10 tee. First timers will most likely spend some time wondering around here. Maybe a "half way there" next tee indicator would help with this. Also, the green for #2 is essentially in the fairway of #3. Great green and tee pad respectably, just a flaw in the flow design.
- Benches: There are no benches featured at the tee boxes on this course (that i noticed at least). With the rolling hills and decently long walk of 18 holes, this would be a huge upgrade to the course.

Other Thoughts:

Not pros or cons:
- Mowing: This course needs and thrives on a fresh mow to have a very enjoyable round. It seems like this is always well taken care of, but I imagine could quickly get out of control with any kind of negligence.
