I pulled into Barfield Crescent Park at 7:40 am hoping to be the only one in the park . I was in awe . Not only is there a ranger station at the front of the park ( 430 acres ) but there are many features here . The park was alive on a Sunday morning , with walkers , joggers and even disc golfers were all along the 18 hole course . There are bathrooms throughout the park and a big parking lot near hole one at the back of the park .
The equipment : There is a putting basket near hole #1 . The tee pads come in 2 sizes . There were huge 5' X 10' tees on the park style holes , and more compact tees in the woods section ( don't blame them for wanting to carry and pour and more concrete up there ) . The baskets are Mach 3 , that have numbers on the top of the baskets . Very good signage was present that gave all necessary information for both the beginner portion and the advanced 9 . yes , there is an advanced 9 holes on this course . There is a nice kiosk next to the parking lot . Alternate tees on some of the holes .
Amenities : Besides the kiosk with map , there are plenty of trash cans about , and benches . There are also multiple pavilions here to relax after a round . If you came here with a family , they have a lot of hiking trails and things to do and see while you play .
The Landscape : Nothing short of picturesque . Some of these holes are postcard quality . Holes 1-3 and 8-11 are flat and have a park feel . 18 is a park feel but slopes down . The rest of the holes are either in the woods or utilize it . The grass was mowed and the landscaping for just the disc golf course alone was over the top nice . In the woods , there are a lot of rock formations to catch your interest , and a good amount of elevation is incorporated in a lot of the holes . There are a couple of cool man made ponds that come into play on holes 3 and 7 . Some risk/reward here , because the water is muddy looking , and you won't see your disc . I don't know how deep it is , so you may question feeling for your disc in your bare feet . Plenty of trees are about , mostly in the woods . There is even a row of 4 1/2 to 5' high neatly manicured bushes in a row on the fairway of #10 .
You may never see a cleaner or better taken care of disc golf course in Tennessee
The Highlights : Not much in the way of length here , nor out and out open air throws , but ,,,,, solid holes , like #3 , 304' .flat , but tightening fairway protected by a moat in front of the basket . Flat rock around the basket will cause drives or approach shots to skip past the basket the first drive will take precision to keep from hitting a small tree or bush before making it to the moat . . #6 , a kind of downward left to right fade to a basket surrounded by a rock formation . #7 , not a difficult shot , but a doorway driver/midrange 304' drive over a small pond to a basket flanked by large bushes . #10 , 378' , is a fairway shot between large trees with a 4 1/2 ' to 5' sized row of bushes to throw over , about 100' into your drive . #16 is a straight downhill putter/midrange drive to a basket tucked to the right , with a wicker looking fence to block a drive from going out of the woods . Climb back up the hill to your left and #16 does much of the same . Trees in the middle of the fairway , and rock formations all the way down to the basket sitting on stone at the bottom . #18 is a good finishing hole . A long sloping slightly downhill drive , 370' , that goes slowly left to right with a treeline guarding the whole fairway right . A row of large bushes behind the basket can stop overthrows .
Signature Hole . I really likes #3 , the hole with the moat in front of it and trees to either side .
Disc risk : Low . If you keep away from the small water hazard , the park is so well taken care of , that only a ricochet gone crazy or a disc in a tree is going to cost you .
The navigation is really good here . Just a couple of hiccups . One is going around the brushline and up from 11 - 12 and 16-17 . There are 3 paths on your left as you are walking down the fairway on 16 . Take the earliest path upwards to the 17 tee . I took the wrong one and ended up almost at the bottom of 17's fairway , and it is a Brutal climb .
Time : It took me almost 75 minutes to get through the course . Even though the holes are not long , there is climbing involved and getting through other players . A group of 4 can conquer this course in maybe 2 hours and 20 minutes . The course is popular , even early in the morning . There seemed like a lot of people playing when I left at around 9 am .
I think that part of the allure of this course is the country club type feel when you play here . Everything is just so . I plan to take pictures the next time I am down here . The locals seem very nice , too .

#1 Popularity : If you come here at anything close to a peak time , you may be stacked up behind several groups . This course , AND this park , gets a lot of play .
#2 The elements : This might not be the type of course to play right after a rain . The elevation , slick rocks on the course and the woods will combine to make it a little dangerous to play .
#3 Safety : Safer than most , there are fairways that run parallel to each other , and a good drive on a windy day can land your disc into another group . Use caution and also yell FORE . There is a walkway down the right line of the twisting fairway on #18 with a cement walking path to the immediate other side of the treeline . Since you might be bending your driver down that way , and you might not see that walker until after letting your disc fly , it would be a good idea to look on the other side of the trees , before ruining someone else's day . I know it looks kind of special in an old school way , but the cement circles around the park holes do NOT help . Not only do they eat your midrange and putters on approach shots and drives , but they penalize you by careening off of them for a 20' putt back to the basket .

Barfield Crescent Park has gone all out in making your disc golf an experience . A country club feel , wonderful landscape , park style and woods holes . Some water and elevation . Even though the park is well used , they put the course in a section where there should be little involvement for non disc golfers . It's clean and welcoming for families and disc golfers alike .I was told that the store at the park entrance sells discs . This would be the perfect course to cut your teeth on , then play off and on for the rest of your disc golf days . Pack a sandwich and a drink and enjoy this park after your round .
Reminder :From the middle of May thru at least September on Thursdays at 5:30, there is a weekly doubles tournament . Also , all year on the 4th Saturday of each month at 9:00 there is a monthly tournament .
My Recommendation : Newbies Families and dates , this is a great course even if you don't go into the woods section . Locals , 1 disc players , intermediates should fall in love with the course . Because it is so well preserved , pros and ams should come and enjoy the course and work on their midrange game . Travelers anywhere near southwest Nashville or in Murfreesboro off of I-24 should stretch their legs by coming here and playing the full , or even a half round .Course Collectors > A great course and there are 3 courses in Murfreesboro and a bunch to bag up towards Nashville .
Experience the scenery and PLAY THE COURSE !!!!

(3.453 Rating) A well executed city park course with an even mix of heavily wooded and open holes. 9 holes of which are wheelchair accessible.
- RAW BEAUTY - The wooded portion of this course is just plain gorgeous. I wasn't planning on snapping photos as this course is well documented, buy my gosh. Holes (4), (6), (16) and (17) are stunning, and a few others are also near that description. This course would be right up there with the best looking courses in Nashville if it wasn't for all the open well manicured holes lagging it down a touch. Don't get me wrong, the open holes are nice too, but they'd only score a touch above average in my book as wooded holes are just generally better looking in my opinion. Overall I scored the course a 3.5 for beauty, with the wooded portion at a 4.25 and the open portion a 2.75.
- CHALLENGING - I found the course to be Intermediate level difficult overall, but there are no doubt some Advanced level lines out here. Hole (12) must have been in an unmarked position, cause there was no way it was at the 320 foot listing. More like 430 feet and it felt like a par 4 with the basket tucked way back into a pocket. The back placement on (15) is a twisting 25 foot wide line for nearly 400 feet. A par 3 listing seems a bit harsh for everyone but the +950 rated players. On the difficultly flipside, the open portion of the layout has several generous par listings that will have Advanced players carding eagles every few rounds.
- UNIQUENESS - An excellent mix of tight technical holes and lightly wooded shots. I enjoyed the fact that this wasn't one of those courses that starts with 9 open holes and finishes with 9 wooded holes. The designer was wise to break up the mix a bit. Also, I admire the use of rock features and elevation. There are a couple par 4s and a couple water features as well. If I had to point out a missing feature it would be hole management. Only hole (12) requires a placed shot before running an approach to the basket. This is for the unmarked far basket placement only.
- NAVIGATION AND SIGNAGE - Not flawless but better than most courses with this type of terrain. Too start, there's a course map at the parking area. Other than getting a general idea of the flow from this map, it's too diagrammatic to be of much use. The tee signage is nice and it clearly defines the two layouts. Red numbers are for the full course and black numbers are for the open forgiving 9 hole layout. The typical big number placard is on top of the Mach baskets. The only two times I struggled between holes was the transition between (11) and (12) where I walked to (18), and also between (16) and (17). There are also pin placement markers at the tees, but its usage was in disarray on my appearance.
- TEES - Awesome tees on the open portion of the layout. 8 feet wide by 15 feet long. The number of courses I've played with larger tees is equal to one. Roy G in Austin. The size of the tees in the woods are adequate.
- CHARACTER - I could tell that this course is well cared for and it's appears to be getting a lot of financial support. Not my favorite style of basket, MachIIIs, but in immaculate condition. There are a lot of benches in the hilly portion of the course. There's a really cool tee backstop protection on (14). There's a practice basket near (1) and several alternate basket placements are in the woods. Shelters and restrooms are in the park. All stated, the most impressive thing I found, was that the 9 hole layout was built to be accessible for wheelchairs. Major props park's department.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - This course should work for a wide swath of players considering the two layouts. I could see Beginners through lower end Recreational players enjoying the 9 hole layout and Upper end Recreational through Advanced players enjoying full course.

It's hard to find much of substance to complain about here.
- WATER HAZARDS - There are a couple of manmade ponds on (3) and (7). I could tell that player's may struggle to fish discs out of these waters as they were extremely murky on my play. The pond shoreline on (3) was littered with sticks as the pond well guards the basket placement. Despite the downside of the possibility of having fish a disc out, the ponds IMO make Barfield a better course compared to their omission.
- FORGIVENESS - I enjoyed the wooded half of the layout... for the most part. Unfortunately, a couple of these holes border on the line of fairness and one hole crosses it. Hole (13) is without question a poorly designed hole. I walked the line back forth twice and couldn't pick up a defined line en route to the basket. I'm sure players have parked this holes before, but its more luck than skill. There might be a 3 or 4 foot line in there somewhere, but that's it. (14) also has a weakly defined line, as well as (16) and (17). I have a feeling that (12) through (17) are rarely played bogey free.
- TERRAIN - As noted above, players can choose to skip the wooded portion of the course. Players that choose to play the whole thing are going to get eaten up a bit by the terrain. Lots of rocks and a few cut tree stumps to avoid. The walk between (16) and (17) requires a good 60 foot hike up in elevation grade. It's a good thing a bench was there waiting for me on (17) tee. Poison Ivy is also likely here, but I don't recall seeing any.
- LAYOUT FLOW - Using the two layouts in one format is going to cause some bottlenecks and group flow issues. Really though, a very minor issue.
- SPACING - The open portion of the layout has a few fairways that border each other without a buffer. I'd keep my head on a swivel if the course were full.
- TIME PLAY - Longer than I had expected as the woods portion will require a little search and recovering and extra shots. I spent 75 minutes on the course as a solo. Figure 2 1/2 hours in a foursome.

I've hit about half of the Nashville Metro courses as of this review and Barfield would be among one my favorites. Currently I have it behind only Cane Ridge, Cedar Hill and Seven Oaks, but I have yet to play notables Naval Hill and Sharp Springs. If I lived in the Murfreesboro's area, I would be on the course all the time. It has everything I personally want in a course as the longest holes out here will constantly have me reaching for my driving. I loved the even mix of wooded technical and open-ish park style. Most towns the size of Murfreesboro would be ecstatic to have a course this nice.

Nicely maintained course

Decent variety of holes with a good mix of wooded and open holes

Great signage / not too confusing to find your way through the course

Throughout my years of going here they are constantly makes changes to the course for the better

There are paved walkways that mark OBs

Great course for both new and experienced players

The baskets have a circle of concrete around the baskets which can cause a drive that would have been parked to skip away

The course can be a little bit crowded during the weekends or after work during the weekdays. Due to the amount of people, there are a lot of players who don't know common disc golf etiquette; I've had many people who will still start to throw before I've finished.

A couple of the wooded holes have absolutely no fairway at all.

The walk-up to hole 17 (man that is tiring)

Barfield Crescent is definitely a course that can offer some fun for all players, regardless of experience. I would recommend to anyone who was in the area; there are a lot of ace opportunities out there as well.

There are paved walkways to each of the front 9 (with exception of 2 I believe that go to the woods) and even paved all the way up to the chains itself. Nice transition from the open holes to the wooded holes, pretty much wide open on front 9 and all wooded on back 9 (few exceptions). The course is located in a beautiful park with baseball park, kid play areas, covered picnic areas, etc.The tee signs are nice and is pretty informative with which holes are front 9 and back 9. For the most part its easy to find the next hole (only big exception is #16 to #17) The tee boxes are very also nice. The course is located a few miles off the highway and there are plenty of places to grab some food with a good variety. The nature center in the back of the park has discs and bags for sale at a good price.

The weekends are pretty much always crowded during spring and summer months so kind of a bummer when you pull up and see a full parking lot. Expect to wait a few minutes each hole if this is the case. Some of the wooded holes are way too tight in some areas and seem impossible but definitely not just frustrating for the new comer or newbie to the game. Trust me I know the locals "secret" lines and I still hit hardwood on a regular basis. This place is crazy infested with bee's in bushes and tree's on the open holes during warm months. Some bushes that are real bad with bee's are right beside tees and also in fairways and beside chains where your disc may land so this will frustrate you. Walk from 16 to 17 to me and many people is very pointless. You end 16 just to walk right up a killer hill/mini-mountain to 17 just to throw back down. I will say both holes are nice just will wear you out. Luckily its the end of the course but if you play more than 1 round expect to be tired. Some of the tee's could be a tad longer and when they get wet man are they slippery. People sometimes hangout and picnic to the left of #18's fairway mainly because there is a kiddie area about 150-200 feet left of the fairway.

Have spotted several small snakes but that's expected in woods. And newbies will hate water holes on #3 and #7 but #7 has a optional hole with no water. If you decide to play it bring your float-able discs or get ready to go diving in dirty brown water. Overall not a bad course.

This 18 hole course plays through a nice park setting and has a mix of open and wooded holes. (50% wooded & 50% open). The course, for the most part flows quite nicely and loops back for 9 or 18 holes. The 9 hole loop is all open and has paved pathways all the way up to the basket making this the first wheelchair accessible course that I have played. The 18 hole loop breaks off of the 9 in various spots and enters the woods.

Baskets show a bit of weathering but nothing that is out of the ordinary. All are cemented firmly in the ground and none are jankety. Concrete tee pads are all quite large with the exception of a few smaller ones in the woods.

Tee signs are spectacular and show the hole number for the easy 9 and the advanced 18 on each sign. They show obstacles nicely including trees and water hazards where applicable. Benches were available every 2-3 holes and trash cans were plentiful as well. Course was extremely clean, fairways well defended, either by trees or paths and the locals were friendly as well.

Elevation mainly comes into play in the wooded holes but number 9/18 is one of the best uses. 370' downhill wide open. Wooded holes have a strong emphasis on accuracy over distance with some holes forcing you to be very meticulous with your shot placement. Also, the wooded holes play on top of large flat rocks which is a nice feature that is not found on every course. Straight, open, wooded, hyzer and anhyzer shots are all needed to excel on this course.

Water comes into play on 2 holes and are fair. Hole 3Easy/3Advanced has a small pond right before the well defined green forcing a layup or go for it approach off the tee. Hole 7 Advanced has a tee shot over a small pond. Not too large, maybe 70' to the far edge, but just knowing it is there is enough to throw someone off.

This is a large multi use park and there are many other things to do here with playgrounds, ball fields, pavilions, rest rooms, drinking fountains and appear to be dog friendly. Easy directions with signs to Barfield Park from a few miles away really helped and within the park, signs for disc golf were easy to spot. The parking lot was large and could accommodate maybe 20+ cars. With other lots around as well, shortage of parking should be no issue.

There is not much that is bad about this course that I can say but there are two things that stick out in my mind.

1. From 16's pin, you have to walk back up the hill you just threw down to get to 17's tee pad. I did not see a direct route so we ended walking up 17's fairway, just to throw down it again. Seems like an easy fix would be for arrows nailed to the trees to direct you to the next pin.

2. There were a few holes that were too wooded for my liking. I enjoy playing on wooded courses but some were just too much. Only 2-3 holes were like this so it was not a huge deal but a few holes could be trimmed up and still have a nice wooded course.

This is a course I would love to play again. Only 5 minutes off the highway, it was a good stopping point during a small road trip to stretch for a few hours. Not much variety is offered for restaurants except for asian food. A bit more offered on the other side of the highway.

If you do not like my review, let me know why before rating.

-Very Clean course.

-Large tee pads in the open holes.

-Well maintained tee pad in the wooded holes.

-Great challenge holes with woods and obstacles used efficiently.

-Good signs that show the holes footage, par and layout.

-Wooded area is hilly and helps with the challenge.

-Most holes are laid out for either side arm or back hand throw with a few exceptions.

-Baskets are clearly marked with hole numbers.

-Well maintained paths between holes.

-Most tee pads have benches for your use.

-Bathrooms nearby for easy access.

-Hole 1 tee pad is on one side of parking area and hole 18 basket on the other.

-A water source at the pavilion by parking area.

-The water trap on hole 3 is ridiculous. It seems to have been designed with the resale of lost disc in mind. A rip off scheme. If you get a good throw on hole 3 you will most likely end up in this muddy, nasty pond that you cant see anything in. The wall closest to the basket also helps in hindering your throw to the basket.

-The walk up the hill from hole 16 to 17 is more of a hike than a walk. It leaves most people out of breath. Thank the stars there is a large bench at the tee pad of 17 to rest.

-Hole 16 and 17 are nearly identical with the exception of a few trees and the basket on 17 on a large rock and 16's surrounded by boulders.

-Can sometimes be very crowded. This is a big problem especially when a lot of the players want to throw 10 disc each player on every hole. Some very rude players in this sense.

-Need bug repellent due to mosquitos. The nasty, muddy, stagnant water traps are too perfect a place for the pesky insects to grow.

This course has a place to purchase a disc if needed fairly close to hole 3's basket.

Over all a really good course with the biggest problem being the water trap on hole 3. I hope that whoever designed the water trap on hole 3 is getting their kickback from the resale of disc and doctors.

Great variety for a par 3 course! Of course, this is my home course, so I'm going to keep my bias and say it's good. It really is, though. If you shoot under par, you earned it. For some courses, it's normal to shoot under par and you expect to make birdie on some holes. Not the case here. You earn every bird, and there's so much variety, you have to make a different shot on each hole to score well. One minute, you're throwing a putter through the woods on your first shot, and the next hole you're throwing a distance driver out in the open. Also, it's just a beautiful course, and they really do a fantastic job of maintaining it.

I saw the review of the person who marked this course as a 2.5, and saw he mentioned some of paths for the wooded holes were stupidly thin. I have to say that I agree with him for holes 4 (although you need to look high and to the right, because there's an open route that way that only the locals really know), 6 (you just have to flick something or an-hyzer a putter), 13, maybe 15, 16, and maybe 17. For those holes, I would say there is about 65% skill and 35% luck to have a shot at birdie.

Also, I wish there were some holes longer than 390 feet, but that's more of a personal preference. I like the courses that have (PDGA regulated, not recreational) par 4's and 5's (450-1000 foot holes).

Beautifully maintained! Every time I come back, I see they have added new trees or something. It always looks in tip-top shape. I am proud to call this course my home course!

Located in the back of a large, well kept public park. Disc golf course is kept mostly away from other park users. Full 18 hole course with concrete pads at all holes. 9 holes are constructed with paved paths and 'greens' around the basket in order to be handicap accessible.

Signs are good and show hole layout and possible basket positions. Pads on handicap accessible holes are huge.

Nice mix of mostly open and heavily wooded holes. About half the holes are open and only have scattered trees. The other holes play through the woods and hills.

Basket positions were good in that they used available obstacles to make the holes more challenging. There is a small pond on #3 in front of the basket and another one on #7 that must be crossed from the tee pad.

I wasn't a big fan of the concrete around the baskets on the handicap accessible holes. Not a huge problem, just bugged me.

Course navigation is mostly easy, but a few signs would really help. Transition from 12 to 13 was not obvious. Same with the long walk back up the hill after 16. A few well placed signs would help a lot.

Right now open holes don't have a ton of challenge or shot- making requirements to them. This will improve as course ages and trees grow.

I played in the late afternoon and there were some people laying out in the field on 18. That hole may be a problem if the park is busy.

Just a really clean, nice course. The open holes allow you to let loose with some drives, and the tight wooded holes force you to hit lines with your mids and putters.

Don't sweat the long walk up to 17. It sets up one of the better holes on the course. You'll get a nice throw from the top down through the trees and rock-laden fairway to the basket at the bottom.

While there isn't a ton of elevation the course does use what there is very well. There are some shorter uphill shots through trees, and there is some cool downhill shots. 16 is a nice, short ace run down the hill.

I really enjoyed this course. It is not super challenging, but the wooded holes could hurt you if you can't hit your line. The open holes are basic now, but as the trees in place grow they should turn into really nice holes. I would definitely recommend this course if you are in the area.

I titled this A Tale of Two Courses due to the layout of this course. Barfield has two types of holes - open or tightly wooded.
Here's the open hole portion. Mostly wide open fairways lined with moderately tall trees (most under 12-15 feet). The fairways are very wide and lined with an array of cedars, oaks and other trees that will eventually form a very nice barrier. Occasional older, larger trees are well used to force a route instead of letting the thrower chose their own. The grass is nicely manicured and short which provides a great surface for rollers. The open holes provide more length than the wooded holes and number 18 provides a great finishing hole that is also visually appealing. The open tee pads a gigantic (probably the largest ones I've ever seen out of 100 courses) with paved paths leading from the tees down to the basket. The handicap paved paths sit along side the fairways and provide a nice artificial OB to keep you in the fairway. There's virtually no way you can get lost on these holes from basket to tee and so on.
Here's the wooded hole portion. The layout greatly uses the woods to split up the course to where you play a few open holes, go into the woods, come out into the open, go back into the woods, and finished with one big bomber out in the open finally. Most of the wooded holes have multiple sleeve placements unlike in the open though I don't know how often these are switched up. The fairways are tight but mostly fair in that if you hit your line, you will be rewarded. There's a few spots where luck can definitely go one way or another. The woods forces several different shaped shots to reach the basket and everything is reachable with clean drives. There are more elevation changes in the woods than the open and make for some interesting uphill hyzers and downhill hyzers/anhyzers. Most have lots of outcrops throughout the fairways and greens with number 17's basket perched on top of one. Though the wooded tee pads are smaller than the open ones, they are more grippy during wet conditions.

There is excellent signage at each tee with each sign showing where the next tee pad (especially useful in the woods). I noticed there's a lack of trash cans at least on the wooded holes, so if you pack it in, pack it out. All of the baskets are in great condition and catch well.

The open holes generally around the same length (310'-390') and don't provide as much of a challenge as the shorter wooded holes. Recovery shots here can be very easy compared to the woods. There's no indication of which sleeve the baskets are in on the wooded holes which will lead to more walking/searching for baskets. The mono-toned gray color of the baskets doesn't help the search either. Though the open tee pads are oversized, they can be very slick when wet. The wooded holes are not part of the handicap accessible portion of the course and have smaller tees. As in smaller, I mean, normal sized tee pads. The walk from 16's basket to 17's tee is ridiculous since both 16's and 17's tee pads are at the same elevation on the hill. Feel like there could have been a different design for 17 to lead to 18 just the same.

Barfield Crescent is an immensely fun course that provides a little something for everyone. The open holes provide a great place to let 'em rip but not without some control and is also a great place to practice rollers of varying distances. The wooded holes showcase the typical Tennessee fairway with tight lines and a little luck. I found those to be very fun and they kinda remind me of some North Carolina fairways. I kinda find it laughable that people complain about the concrete circles around the baskets eating away at discs yet they don't complain about trees doing the exact same thing.

Aesthetically, probably the nicest course in middle TN. Definitely the best tee box signage I've seen.

You could live inside the concrete tee pads they have. The things are massive so you have plenty of room to make your drive.

Reasonable mix of wooded and open holes.

Water holes that aren't daunting.

Next tees aren't clearly marked on occassion. A lot of people get lost between 12 and 13. After 12, walk like you're heading back towards the 12 tee box, except stay up in the woods and you'll find 13 with no problem. From there it's pretty easy to find your way.

The tee boxes for 16-17 are right next to each other, and they both play downhill. So once you've played 16, you have to trudge back uphill to the 17 tee and play down again. Poor course design, in my mind, but it's really the only thing they could do given the locations of those holes.

You can skip a disc another 60 feet if you manage to land it on one of the concrete borders around some of the holes. This is usually a bad thing.

Go early or you're going to be waiting for a long, LONG time.

If you've played Seven Oaks at all, you won't mind the wooded holes with "no fairway".

Aside from the fact that I seem to never do well on this course, the only thing that really bugs me is the crowd. Even if I go early I still find myself in a bottleneck at some point. Overall, I enjoy it.

Handy cap accessable, and good to take the girlfriend with because its pretty easy.

The blue on top of the baskets makes them harder to see when it starts getting dark

They are making some more water and will be really nice when its done

One of the best front nines around. Many ace opportunities spread through course.

Very rocky course especially the back nine. Can easily bang up some discs.

Tons of things always going on at this course. A great place to find some pro's help out your game.

It's been 7 months since my last update.

Barfield is a great course for beginners. It is designed so that beginners can play the 9 open holes as a beginner level, or they can play the full 18 with 9 additional holes of woods.

The park is very well maintained. Barfield is a young course, so there are a lot of smaller trees that have been planted on the open holes over the past few years.

They have new tee signs, so you shouldn't get lost anymore. They also have benches and trash cans on most of the holes.

You will have several options on a lot of the holes, so you will be able to use all the shots in your bag.

Some of the holes have multiple locations, and the baskets are moved every month or so. There are also 2 small ponds now that you throw over.

The 9 open holes are handicap accessible. The only downside to this is the concrete ring that surrounds the basket. It can scuff up your discs pretty well, but that's not a big deal.

The only real problem I have with this course are a few holes (4,13, 16 long, 17) that don't have a defined fairway.

The woods are rocky, so they can be slick when it's wet.

It can get crowded after 3 on weekdays and then most of the weekend. When I have played before 3, the course flows pretty well.

This was my home course and I found it a great course to learn on. Most of the open holes are 320-375, so a little short if you have a long arm, but great for beginners.

Barfield is doing a good job of working and developing the course for the future. I really look forward to playing this course in the future because of the additions and growth this course is having.

As of today here are my favorite Nashville area courses:

1. Cedar Hill Park
2. Crockett Park
3. Liberty Park
4. Sharp Springs Park
5. Barfield Crescent Park
6. Seven Oaks Park
7. Two Rivers

I haven't played Sanders Ferry, Cedars of Lebanon, or Triple Creek.

This is a beautiful course in a great park. The course is very clean and appeared to be well maintained. Lots of young trees and shrubs are planted around the course on the open holes and will be really nice when they reach maturity. The flat rocks among the hardwoods and cedar trees made for a really nice setting in the woods.

The average holes are in the 300' range with some shorter ones in the woods. Of the open holes number seven stands out with a punch out crossing a small pond. The wooded holes can be challenging with the thick trees mixed with some sweeping doglegs here and there. Thirteen, sixteen, and seventeen stand out to me of all the wooded holes. Thirteen is an uphill shot with lots of trees to navigate around. Sixteen and seventeen are downhill shots with doglegs right and left. Also Seventeen should be noted for having the basket set on the edge of a 3' rock cliff. Eighteen is a fun way to end with its 380'~ downhill shot to the parking lot. You will want to throw several discs at this one for sure.

Concrete tee pads, benches, and signs were a nice feature along with the practice basket near the parking lot. Most signs say "par 4" and "pro par 3". I think most players would agree that these holes should all be played as par 3.

Even with rainy weather we still saw lots of people out on the course. The course would be very busy on weekend days with good weather. There are 10' circles of concrete around the baskets on several holes.

Just 2-3 minutes off I-24 makes it even more worth while to stop and play, especially if you are driving through the area. H.V. Griffin is only about 20 minutes down the same road as Barfield Crescent from 1-24. Playing both on the same day would make a trip even more worth while.

Shows that a short layout can be challenging.

Very well placed obstacles

Design was maximized given the land used.

Short

Tee signs dont reflect actual par, everything should play a 3.

This was a fun little course to play. Me and some pals drove up to murfreesboro from atlanta to go to white castle and were very surprised by the design of the course. Its a short one, but the course uses key placement of trees and OB sidewalks to fight back.

Terrific open hole layouts that use OB and a few well placed trees to reward/punish a player if they just rip it. 1/2 of the wooded holes are pretty well done, especially 15, 16, 17. Hole #6 comes out of the woods and sets up for a really nice finesse drive for a birdie. Clean, well groomed. Great place to play.

Concrete Basket pads are hard on discs. I used my Blowfly just because I didn't want to mess up my money approach disc. Half of the wooded holes are pinball holes. A little judicious trimming is needed.

This could be a world class course. The distances are fair so that even a 275 average drive arm like mine can play the holes to pro par. A little attention to fixing the random penalty effect of some of the wooded holes would make this a truly exceptional course. Worth stopping at if you are in Tennessee.

Good overall use of the space. The course starts out open and flat - the first three holes provide a good chance to get warmed up. I like the pond that has been added to protect the 3rd green.

With the 4th you enter the woods for the first time. The 7th takes you out from the edge of the woods and over a very short pond - good confidence builder for relative hackers like me. The 12th starts a second stretch in the woods, and it's one of my favorite holes. Lots of fairway for the drive, but you have to know when to cut right to find the hole. Look for the huge dirt mound, and aim in front of that. 14 provides a choice for either a hyzer or anhyzer drive through the woods. The 17th is a fun downhill to the basket on a rock ledge, again through the woods. Good tee boxes throughout.

By the time you finish the second set of open holes, 8-11, the straight back and forth begins to feel a bit repetitive, although 9 adds a dogleg slightly uphill left to the mix. 16 and 17 are both short wooded downhills. You have to walk back up the hill from the 16th to get to the tee at 17. At least it's pretty well marked.

There is a lot of flatrock ground among the woods. This provides an opportunity for long skips on shots - most of the time favorable. Every once in a while, though, approaches can go out of control. That's the case with the asphalt around the open field baskets as well, but I don't see that as a huge problem. Almost all the holes are in the 300-400 ft. range, with a few shorter holes in the woods. The course managers set up some shorter basket options the most recent time we played. This layout was easier than I remember from previous rounds. The wilderness station at the southeast edge of the park is a decent source of discs, as well as snacks and general info about the area.

Well maintained, strong club, good mix open & wooded..(very tight in woods)

concrete around baskets on original nine

lots of OBs added for tournaments
