Has potential for a good 9-hole! - But improvements haven't happened. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 14, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Extremely nice park.
Pro/Rec locations offer wide range of distances to basket.
Several elevation shots.
Rights, lefts and straights.
Several ace-run shots.
Short distance from basket to next hole pads.
Nice signage.
Physically easy on the body.

Cons:

Need those cement pads.
The fringe on both sides of the fairways is tall blade grass which was pretty high in some areas. Seasoned players won't have trouble staying in the fairway but it would be simple to just mow it down when they mow the fairways with little effort; Then beginners and less-than-accurate players can stay out of the tall stuff. A couple holes could stand a little more clearing on the edges.

Other Thoughts:

THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP REVIEW 10 MONTHS LATER.
The course hasn't changed much as far as grooming and not having pads. It still doesn't deserve more than 3 stars for these reasons alone. Another issue is it has somehow turned into a dog-walk park (players and non-players) and the owners don't seem to want to pick up after their dogs. You have to be careful where you step. People need to understand that Disc Golf is a sport. You won't find dog crap on a ball golf course, soccer field, baseball field, etc.. Respect the game, leave you k-9 at home! - Unless the course is trimmed more, I only recommend playing it in the winter months. If the dog issue doesn't improve, I don't recommend playing at all.

Overall pretty nice for a new course. Just need the pads and a little more grooming and it could be a nice 9-hole hot spot. Great place to take the family. Really nice playground and water play-area for the kids to beat the heat. Some well recommended restaurants close by (Mexican or Pizza) https://www.tripadvisor.com/R...ennessee.html - With the pads down and extra grooming, I would raise the rating to 4.0 for this 9-holer.

Beautiful Park near the River 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 1, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is scenic and the views of the River as it winds through the valley is spectacular. Very good use of the land overall.

- The park is well maintained and dual teepads for every shot.
- The signage is great and baskets are new.
- The Pro shots add a LOT of challenge if you decide to play this.
- A few spots where you can walk down to the river, ideal for taking a break.
- The park in general is in very good shape with nice facilities.
- A nice paved trail, soccer field and fishing pond if you are with a group who would rather do something besides disc golf.

Cons:

The biggest reason I can't rate this course better is that the teepads are dirt / grass and its only 9 holes. Usually doesn't bother me, but I played the day after a heavy rain, nearly fell face-first into mud a couple times.

- In some areas the rough was nearly impassable.
- This course is in a flood plain, so keep that in mind if there have been heavy rains.
- Holes 7 & 8 were not very interesting.

Other Thoughts:

I enjoyed the scenic beauty of this course. If finished teepads get installed I would definitely rate it higher. A 3.0 is still a good rating for a 9 holes course.

Finding this park was a real challenge. I'm used to small towns, but the roads were kind of tricky just following the directions I had written down.

Worth playing this for sure. If you are coming from Nashville, take a day trip and play this as the warm up before going to the course in Dickson TN.
