+ Course name is bad ass "Thunderchief"
+ Concrete tee pads and Mach lll baskets.
+ Beautifully manicured turf.
+ Good balance of right and left hand throws.
+ Many holes to grip and rip on. Many of the holes measure 400ft plus.
+ Park roadways and many water holes make for definite OB.
+ Though very open most baskets guarded by trees or shrubs.
+ Two other courses -Veterans Park Original and Music Bend within walking distance.
+ Bathroom on site.

- Because this is a multi use park the biggest con of this course is how congested and busy the park becomes during prime throwing hours. Best to play on weekday mornings.
- Many holes play alongside or over park roadways.
- A few holes play through low-lying areas resulting in standing water and uncut turf when wet.
- Course does not loop back during round so pack for 18.

At first glance this course seems to be very open. However with the abundance of water and park roadways it is actually quite technical. Furthermore most holes have some type of tree or object to shape shots around. I really enjoyed throwing this course and will definitely revisit when in the area. Moreover, with the two other courses on site -Veterans Original and Music Bend, Tupelo, MS is becoming a great disc golf destination. If you love tearing up the sky Thunderchief is the place for you.

Side note: With the birthplace of Elvis Presley being right next to the course one cannot help but sense the ghost of Elvis wandering the fairways. I believe he would have been a big fan of the game.

Thunderchief is the perfect course in the Tupelo mecca to practice distance and accuracy actually throwing at baskets. With an AVERAGE hole length of 392 feet, it's no joke. Pro's and upper am's will enjoy the challenge of not only having to throw far, but also shape shots on a few holes. Such as the 420 ft. #7. The whole right side is trees and brush so a long turnover is a must. It's a challenge unless you have elite power, and even then it's no gimme. But that's what makes it fun!

Water water everywhere. Which is a turnoff for some. But with the lack of vegetation, this stands as the only real obstacle to avoid. Lack of benches. There's one on 1, and one on 16. That's it. During the perfect days to play, the fairways and greens are LITTERED with pedestrians, joggers, fishermen. Unless you're there early, it could be tough to finish a round in a decent amount of time, if at all. Unless, you're pretty serious about the game, or just want the experience, I'd say you wouldn't enjoy TC.

All in all, the course is solid, and has grown to be in my top 5. It's made me a better golfer, and is a great place to enjoy a round with friends or individually. Along with The Original and now Music Bend, a full 54 holes can be played at one park in a day, easy. Come stretch your arm out at Thunderchief!

A new course in Tupelo, which is quickly becoming a DG destination. Good baskets, nice park, tees are mostly in good shape some are concrete, some not. Signs are pretty good also, some benches are available but not every hole. A longer more open course that will suit the better player and will intimidate the more inexperienced. Well thought out design that used the property wisely.

Does not loop back after 9 holes but does for the 18. No shade to speak of, I imagine in the summer months this will be the biggest complaint. Bathrooms at the old Course which is not far from hole 1 of the new course, but no more that I am aware of.

I am not a young golfer and not a long arm off tee, but I still enjoyed my round and managed to play around even the day I played. Some OBs and water hazards make you aware of placing your shots to score well. Windy days could play havoc with your game on this long, open course, but if you have some knowledge and play smart you can still navigate it with a decent score. I can see the local TDs tightening up some of the bail out areas and then this bad boy could really have some bite in it. Overall an enjoyable course,especially if you like to air it out.
