Nine-hole city park courses tend to be on the simplistic side regarding course design. The Valley Fest DGC lives up to that description and is little more than nine baskets placed around a large, flat and open field.

New Prodigy baskets.

Hole #5 offers a nice challenge with a dogleg right fairway bordered by a lovely stream. The basket is guarded by several trees too.

Easy to navigate. You shouldn't lose your way or a disc here.

With the exception of hole #5, the remaining holes are mainly the same except for distance - the rest of the holes are flat, straight and offer no obstacles (except for a few trees on hole #4).

Wide open courses are ideal for beginners, but if that's the purpose of this course, then hole #4 is too long at 681 feet.

The right-side border of holes #7 and #8 are residential yards with fences.

Located in the picturesque Sequatchie Valley, the Valley Fest DGC feels out of place. Its simplistic design offers beginner disc golfers an opportunity to throw without fear of losing a disc or encountering obstacles, but even amateurs will likely tire of this course. A 1.0 rating might seem a little harsh for a course that offers easy navigation and nice baskets, but the holes are repetitive and plain. Another location would have likely been a better choice.
