Decent Course On The Big Muddy! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 13, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Warfield Point Park is a nice wooded park on the banks of the Mississippi River. The park has about a thousand of these little barbecues with a round table attached together. About half of them are broke and should be removed. As I was attempting to navigate this course, these kept catching my eye. The park is not quite flat, it has a little role to it. The small amount of elevation is used effectively especially on my favorite hole, # 12. More on # 12 later.

The course starts near the back by the trail riders (ATV) parking lot . There is a kiosk here with a nice colored course map. It makes the navigation look easy. There are sometimes natural tee pads and other times no pads. Some have a front board and others have nothing. Most holes have a colored tee sign, although the signs are missing for #'s 1 & 2. Some of the signs are weathered and hard to read while # 12 is lying in the ground and will soon be lost if not reattached soon. The baskets are single chain and I'm not sure what kind although # 5 did have a Mach II with double chains. There are poles at each hole with nails to hang your bag on. They're just not always close to the tee pad.

Most of the holes are pretty pedestrian in nature although I did like 12 and 18 more than the rest. # 12 is 420' through a smallish window. This is just a very pretty hole with a natural looking fairway. # 18 is a 300' slight downhill throwing needing a little hyser at the end to reach the basket which is between some trees.

Course plays 9 holes and then the back 9 loops back to the start.

Cons:

I struggled with navigation, mostly in the front 9. I had to consult my map on each hole. There are small next tee boards attached to the bottom rungs of the basket but unfortunately, they have faded and are no longer legible.

Natural tee pads are inconsistent, sometimes hard to locate, sometimes with a front board, others with nothing.

Tee signs are missing, 1 & 2, or broken on # 12 or badly weathered on some other holes. There are hundreds of poles, pipes and other assorted things sticking up in this park. All could pass for a tee sign.

Single chain baskets.

Just in front of the # 5 basket, the park's maintenance men have parked a large utility trailer and a couple of tractor attachments here.

Many holes seemed longer than the distances listed on the signs.

Other Thoughts:

This was a frustrating experience for me having to play while consulting my map each hole. The course just didn't have enough natural flow. This combined with the sub-standard baskets, tee pads and missing signage, makes for a very average overall experience here. It's such a shame because this nice terrain deserves more.

Needs Teepads so Bad 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 29, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

- The layout of the course really is great. I never felt like I threw the same style throw twice. Great use of elevation where feasible, great use of trees. Really is a top quality layout.

- Very good signage and a beautiful course map at the start.

- All the holes have a pole with nails in it to put your bag on, which is great since the course was almost entirely mud (more on the mud in the cons).

Cons:

- Not having permanent tee pads is always a con, but most of the time it is understandable. However, the course is within a few hundred feet of the Mississippi River, the entire course was completely mud in the middle of summer. I don't understand why that wasn't the biggest priority when the course was created. I didn't throw a single drive full strength because I was worried about slipping, not a pleasant feeling.

- Some holes have a 2-by-4 or something in the ground to mark where the tee-line is, but at least half the holes didn't have that. If you aren't going to have permanent tee pads, at least be sure all the holes have a definite spot that marks the tee. Most of the time I just had to throw near the tree that had the tee sign or there was a worn spot in the ground that I assumed was the spot people threw from. The tee boxes need to be figured out.

- The other reviews say that new baskets and tee pads are coming, but they are from 2014-2015, and since it's August 2016, I guess they aren't being installed. Truly disappointing.

Other Thoughts:

- Even with the dreadful tee box situation, the superb layout of the course still gave me a positive outlook of the course. Which really is saying something about how well it is laid out. If some form of permanent tee pads were installed, this really would be a top-tier course.

- I haven't played any of the courses in the general area, so I don't have any opinion on playing here or going somewhere else, just play here knowing you will be sliding and your discs will be mudding.

Nice shorty 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Really nice signage, clean course with some short holes and some medium holes. Nicely manicured park on the Mississippi River with small elevation in play. NO WATER on any play :)

Cons:

Will really like it better when it has some permanent tee pads.

Other Thoughts:

It's a great quick course that is a lot of fun. Some flat some small hills, can't really open up on any hole but still an awesome addition to greenville.

Great new course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 31, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great lies on each basket with difficult shots around trees.

Cons:

Lots of trees which make you have to actually learn to skillfully control the disc instead of relying on hucking.

Other Thoughts:

The course now has a full 18 just waiting on concrete tees now!
