Great Beginners Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 23, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Baskets in good condition
- concrete tees
- 9 ends pretty close to 1, bringing you back to the parking lot
- well maintained grounds and a nice park in general
- the most immaculate port-o-john I've ever seen, not sure about other restrooms on site
- great course for beginners

Cons:

- tee pads are a little on the short side (however most holes are short so a full lead up isn't really necessary)
- Tee signs are present but no maps available
- a little on the cramped side, especially 1-3, could lead to crossplay
- while benches and a couple of trash cans are on site, none are actually at the tees

Other Thoughts:

Not terribly far from I-65 Brewton has a great beginners course. If you're driving through it's worth the detour but probably not a destination course. Most holes are short but there's decent use of a variety of obstacles. Hole 5 wins my vote for signature hole. a RHBH hyzer over Burnt Corn Creek and back to the basket. Tee 6 is currently missing its sign, watch for broken glass on the back 3. The course is fairly easy to navigate - it's completely flat and on the short side so the next tee is generally easy to find. It's a really nice little park with a walking trail around the course. I played on a Friday morning and it wasn't crowded at all; I was the only person playing the course. Also, I believe the park is named Jennings Park, not Burnt Corn Creek Park. It only took me a half hour to play one round so it'd be easy to cram in 3 or 4 rounds.

Simple 9 Holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 22, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This 9 hole course is set in a well manicured, mixed use park. Most if not all fairways are short cut grass and there are only a few places where a disc could actually be lost. All concrete tee pads are in good shape, no cracking or chunking off although they are a little bit on the small side, I estimate 3' x 6'.

Varying hole lengths make it a little more interesting and some well placed tee pads make some trees come into the line of play. Course navigation was fairly simple as you can see the next pad from the previous tee in most cases. The entire course makes a big loop around the park and you end up pretty close to where you started so if you want to get multiple rounds in, it's easy to continue the flow.

Benches and trash cans are all over the park within close proximity to the holes and a paved parking lot was nice too.

Cons:

The tee pads are quite short preventing a full run up when needed.

Tee signs have seen better days and I think the distances are a little optimistic. The short hole 4 is listed as 156' but looks to play about 100' tops. Baskets, while all are still there, many of them are bent, leaning and a little rusted.

This course might be a little too tight for a 9 hole course. Many holes have you throwing over or parallel to walking paths that seem to criss cross the park. Luckily there were not any people walking when I passed through.

The worst con in my opinion was the layout on hole 9. Now I'm not sure which was there first, the skatepark or the course but the left hand line would drive right over the corner of the bank ramp. A little dangerous if people were actually using the park.

Other Thoughts:

While I would not go out of may way to play here, I was on my way back to Tennesee from the beach and was just a short detour from my original route. A good way to break up the driving.
