Great Little Course To Play 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

I really enjoyed this course! I played it directly after playing a round at Portland Park and found it to be far more enjoyable! The course has a very "natural" feel as you make your way through the woods. There aren't any wide open shots but there are a wide variety of Ace potentials if you're lucky. Only played this course once, and navigating it was a breeze! Signage at every tee is great and there are also trash bins in a couple locations to keep the course clean. As previously noted, there's an excellent park on the property which looks so nice, I wanted to play there! Hole 9 ends right where 1 begins, so it's easy to play another round right away. The disc bin is a nice touch, but I looked inside and saw a big spider, so don't stick your fingers in there!!

Cons:

Only "Cons" with this course are the natural tee pads and thick brush areas. Other reviews have noted that concrete tee pads will soon be installed, but I saw no preparation for them. There are also quite a few areas of the fairway with thick and thorny brush. I threw one disc in there and got stabbed by a couple hundred thorns, so be careful! Also be conscious of where your disc lands because loosing one could be pretty easy in spots. Being a 9 hole course - it's very short, but it also plays along a hillside. Adding a couple benches here and there would be a nice added amenity.

Other Thoughts:

I've played quite a few courses in the Chattanooga area, and this one stands out as one of my new favorites. The reviews of this have been overwhelmingly positive, but I don't feel the overall rating is high enough for what this course rating should be. Adding some concrete tee pads, clearing some bushy areas, and maybe a few trees, I think this course would be a solid 4. If you haven't played here before, and you're in the area, definitely check this one out!
