(0.901 Rating) An HOA open six holer over spongy ground.
- COUNTS AS A COURSE PLAYED - I had to really think hard to identify a pro regarding Williams Park. Hey, there are 6 baskets here with decent chains on them. There are also supposably six "flush with the ground" marked tees here as well, if you can find them. I found three of them. To me, that's a course… but barely.

Far too many flaws.
- DESIGN - I don't get the design objective here. This is a very small sub-division park in a new development where the likely clientele is going to be families within a 2-minute drive. Why is there a 275-foot clear over a storm water retention pond? Why is the hole length average 325 feet? Players that enjoy these noted elements aren't driving across town to play an open six-basket course. The course, imo, has no target audience. A smart designer would have bought cheaper and better baskets, got 9 of them and would have had money left over for 4x4 posts and basic signs. Then they would have laid out a 9-hole novice level course with holes in the 150 to 200-foot length range average and would have achieved a 1.5 rated course that families could enjoy.
- STORMWATER BASINS - This course likely exists because houses couldn't be built on it. The entire layout plays on top of four dry retention ponds. When I played, one of the retention ponds along holes (1) and (4) was filled with water and it hadn't rained recently. This course is going to be miserable to play after a rainy day. Mowing will likely be spotty when the retention flats are swampy.
- TEES - The tees are natural with flush bricks defining the tee edge. I only found three of them on holes (1), (5) and (6). Hole (2's) bricks appear to have been removed as I found a gorged line supposedly where the tee was. There are no throwing scars at any of the tees. I doubt many are playing here.
- NAVIGATION AND SIGNAGE - Considering the flush brick tee lines and absence of other tee markings, this one is going to be hard to follow. There is an arrow below each basket to get players going in the right direction after basket (1), but they'll still have to scour the ground to try and find the tee location.
- AMENITIES AND EXTRAS - No amenities or extras other than baskets. This was the first time I've seen Prodigy baskets in a home-owners association park. What a waste of funds.
- HOLE VARIETY - Generally an open layout. Hole (2) has the only tree in direct play. There is some decent length on a couple holes, including a 400-footer. Water will be in play if the retention areas are filled. I scored the variety roughly 10 percentile. It's hard to achieve substantial variety on a six-basket course, and Williams Park is no exception.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - Too easy for veteran players, too difficult for noobs. I'll state again, who is the target audience?
- NATURAL BEAUTY - I scored this aspect 20 percentile. It actually brought my overall rating up a touch. The park was clean and the neighborhood looks nice. Most basic parks can claim this.
- PARKING - 10 parking spots.
- TIME PLAY - I spent 30 minutes playing and looking for tees. That's way too much time for a bland 6-hole course.

With 534 courses played as of this review, this one falls just outside my top 500. Just too many issues, from usable land, to amenity investment, to proper design when considering the skill level of the likely users. For regular players in the Nashville area who have considered checking it out. Please don't. I could only recommend this course to those looking to be disappointed. Not even a good baggers course as the navigation is poor and it takes longer than one would think. Among the Nashville area courses I've played, this one is roughly at the bottom. I personally only rated Jones Family Bark Park lower. I'd rather replay courses like Cottonwood, Mundy and Willow Grove before here.

There are always going to be conversations about how many holes constitute a true disc golf course . As the debate goes on , I am going to review the 6 hole Williams Park DGC . This is a very small park at the and of a subdivision with a nice small community pool . There is a small parking lot in front . The only onsite bathrooms are on the other side of a locked gate into the pool . Don't worry . You aren't going to be -playing here long , anyway .
-- THE EQUIPMENT -- The tee pads are made by a bracket of sideways bricks in the ground . They have numbers on them , providing how many you find ( more in cons ) . There is no signage , kiosk or map , so you are going to have to guess where to go . The baskets are nice quality orange Prodigies . There are some Next Basket arrows under the bucket to at least give you an idea where to go next .
-- THE LANDSCAPE -- The course is flat slight elevation changes on a couple holes ( #2 and #6 mainly ) but nothing I would consider even a slope . The grounds were mown and the area trimmed . It's a very nice area with in a well to do neighborhood .Oddly , #2 is actually across the street and I don't think connected to this park ( ? ) .
-- NO HIGHLIGHTS HERE -- #2, across the street from the #1 basket is an interesting shot . From a slightly elevated tee , it is a blind shot , maybe 250-260' to a basket betweento large trees . #6 Is a midrange/putter shot from about the manhole cover to a basket sitting atop a small ridge .
-- THE TIME -- Hard to say . I spent most of my time looking for bricks in the ground . Maybe 20 minutes total . You will never get a foursome here , unless it's a family getting up a slight sweat to go into the pool .
-- DISC RISK -- You can't lose a disc here unless you chuck a horrible drive into the brush on the left of #4 . Since you can't find the tee pad for 4 anyway , stand clear of the overgrowth .

#1 Navigation - Daniel Boone would have looked for the 6 tee pads , and after about an hour of frustration , would have shot one of the neighbor's dogs . I found the actual brick tees to 2 , 3 and 6 ( #6 is up near and in front of the manhole cover on a little incline . #2 is across the street , just off the sidewalk ) These bricks look nice until the grass starts to grow up and over them , and the dry grass trimmings and weeds make them disappear . I am sending the archaeological team .from nearby Vanderbilt to uncover the rest
#2 Safety - The average type of player that would attempt this course could easily hit a car or pedestrian on holes 1 & 2 . After spending the time to come here and play this course , they will easily hit themselves .
#3 6 Holes . Unless you live within walking distance , or are a member of the community pool , then you are putting a lot of effort into 6 pretty bland holes .
#4 Challenge - none here . All holes are short with the only obstruction is a tree that you have to throw around some on #2 .
#5 STILL MAD - I'm not done ranting about hidden bricks . How about this : any kid vandalizing or misbehaving in this community is given a 1 month sentence in finding and maintaining the tee bricks so the public doesn't stumble around like zombies looking for them . Not performing their requirement forces them to be tied to the number 2 basket and let the public take drives at them

I know I jest when I slam a course like this , but it is actually a nice thing . There wasn't really even enough room to put a 6 hole course here , but somehow the city made it work . The neighborhood looks new , the pool and it's surrounding grounds are a great addition to summer fun here . These 6 holes are less about score and more about raising questions and giving answers about what disc golf is and how it's played .
MY RECOMMENDATION -- Hard to do without sarcasm . This is a great area to introduce people to disc golf . I don't know if there's an elementary school nearby , but it would be fun to walk down from school and have a mini tournament between the different grades . This is also a nice place for nearby families to go for an after-dinner round , where the overall loser has to be the cabana boy and watch the rest of the group swim while holding their towels . If you are extremely local , come down and practice your upshots or putts . Not worth a stop for anyone else , except a Course Bagger can come off of I-65 and pick up a quick score and it will only cost about 35 minutes total . Otherwise , PASS THIS COURSE BY

Six holes with tees, baskets, and flow.

-Playability: This definitely qualifies as a course. Natural tees are marked by bricks, decent low-end Prodigy baskets are numbered, and there are no jump-putt type dinky holes.

-Flow: Pretty reasonable. (2) is across the street from (1) and (3), but otherwise each tee is near the previous basket with no crossing fairways.

-Length: Not paltry. A couple shorter holes but the other four are all probably 290'-350'.

-Minimal Features: If treating road as OB, (1) has some left side danger. (2) has the only trees in play. Baskets (1) and (6) are both on little knobs that could add putting strategy. Baskets are all even altitude with tees, but many have valleys or a left-to-right slope.

Not much interest, and of course it's only six holes.

-Wide Open: Other than the trees on (2), obstacles are limited to one parallel treeline. A similar experience could be achieved by bringing six portable baskets to a large park. There's just nothing special about this course.

-Danger: Road on (1) and private property on (2) and (6) are definitely in play for left-leaking shots, especially considering the windy conditions of the open.

-Drainage: Some low-lying areas on (1) and (4) were somewhat muddy when I played.

-Tee Markings: It can be pretty difficult to find the exact tee locations because they are bricks planted into the ground. It's not too bad after (1) though, which is right at the corner of the parking and the road.

Possibly the least remarkable course I have ever played. There are 6 holes that aren't noticeably short or heinous. Amenities are generally there but not great. For the boringness of having only 300' open shots I'd like to call this Bad, but I really reserve that descriptor for a course with something obviously wrong. Thus, it's a Poor. Probably only for neighborhood residents and baggers.
