Pleasant Surprise 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 6, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course Design and Flow: The course is very easy to follow and has good balance and flow. There is an excellent balance between short holes and long holes on this course, and the course is designed to only have a couple true "open" holes. There are only three holes that could be classified as "wooden," but the majority of the holes do have a few large trees that force the thrower to be accurate.

Short and Long Tees: I want to specifically give props to this aspect of the course. All holes (besides #2 and #15) have an option for short and long tees. Both tees are very easy to find from the previous hole and very clearly labeled. Both the short and long tees have the same par, meaning that two players of fairly different skill levels can play on a more level playing field. I played on the long tees today and thought the listed pars were fair; the long tees either added a decent amount of distance (70+ feet, up to nearly 200 feet in a couple instances) or created a significantly more difficult drive than the short tees.

Baskets and Signs: The tee baskets are easy to see, with the hole number listed on the top. Each tee (both long and short) has a new sign that gives an accurate hole distance, par, etc. In situations where the next hole direction isn't completely obvious, there is a little arrow hung under the basket pointing in the right direction.

Cons:

Tee Pads: This is the only true negative of this course, in my opinion. At the moment, the tee pads are turf, and for the most part they are in good condition. However, they are usually way too short and in the wooded holes, they are starting to wear down a little bit. I heard from a local that the signs were just installed, so maybe concrete tee pads are coming in the near future. At the moment, though, they are not.

Tee Pad Signs: The signs are very informative. However, when showing the hole on the sign, they show it oriented directional north, instead of orienting it with the tee pad at the bottom. This is not necessary a "con," but it is unconventional (I've never seen it before) and it can be confusing as a first-time player.

Park Signage: I did not see any signage in the park itself saying where the disc golf course actually was. Hole #1 starts right next to the bridge entering the park, across the street from the visitor parking and just downhill from the house (I don't know the name).

Other Thoughts:

I made the drive from downtown Nashville to play this course, and was impressed with the quality. Having said that, it is an extremely long drive from downtown Nashville, and there are other courses of the same quality much closer. However, if you are within 30 minutes of this course (i.e. Franklin, Murfreesboro, maybe even Brentwood or Antioch), then this course is well worth the drive to play. If the tee pads get upgraded, it will establish itself as one of the premier courses in Middle Tennessee, if it is not already there.

Beautiful New Course! Challenging and fun! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 2, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Excellent hole designs. New players will appreciate the shorter tee box positions and more experienced players will like the challenge of the longer positions! It's a great combination of needing some bigger longer shots but also needing to be able to control your fairway drivers and upshots.

Cons:

N/A

Other Thoughts:

This is a great example of what can be done if I city will really take pride in what disc golf can do for the community, and how it draws people to their parks. It's a course that will encourage beginners to try the sport and will draw all the rest for a very fun round.

Fun variety! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 24, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well groomed

Great variety of elevation, distance and wooded.

Beautiful scenery

Cons:

Lack of signage, but it's a new course.

Hole 6 (I think) was laughably short. Fun ace run though!

Other Thoughts:

Kudos to the designers. I look forward to returning soon!

Great course with a lot of variety 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 17, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Variety
-Uphill shots, woods shots, left and right finishing shots, wide open bomber shots, this course really has it all.

Fairness
-This course is on the easier side of things if you've got the distance. I really enjoyed how all the holes had very fair lines you need to hit. There were none that felt "chuck and pray" which is huge for me.

Distance
-I like longer courses and this delivers with 6 par 4's. The pro tees are very difficult, but I played from mostly amateur tee's.

Cons:

Signage isn't quite in yet, but that's okay as it just opened up.

Some holes are a little easy, but none were really "boring" easy.

Other Thoughts:

Tee's were good turf tee's at the time I played, but concrete will be poured when the tee locations are locked in.

Course was designed really well to avoid throwing toward places where other park-goers would be.
