Pros:
This course is set in a great park.

Some spots were soggy from the recent rains
Course has many different shots that are required as well as some water shots to keep you honest

Layout and pace of the course plays good

Cons:
Older baskets, could use and update
Some of the signs on the holes were weather damaged
This course will make you pay if you miss your line

Other Thoughts:
This is a great older course if your in the area. It seems like the course is sort of out in the middle of nowhere. But I highly recommend playing if your able to.

Pros:
A full 18 holes that make use of the available park and keeps the shots interesting. Not the most challenging course, but still makes you pull most of the shots out of your bag. The holes along water don't really ever put you in danger, but they're just close enough to put thoughts of wet shoes and lost discs in your head.
Cons:
I would have liked to see a longer shot off the top of the hill, but everything else was satisfactory ... well, everything except the "swampy" end of the fairway on 18.
Other Thoughts:
Some of the signage was a bit weathered, but overall, the course was in pretty good shape.

Pros:
1) Clean and well maintained park with little or no trash or graffiti.
2) Friendly locals.
3) Nice mix of shots. Tight fairways on holes 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6.
4) Epic hole is #16. A tight, low ceiling downhill shot. A birdie on this hole is very possible, but must be earned.
5) Hole 13 is another tough hole if playing for a birdie because of the large tree blocking the basket and the pond just beyond the basket.

Cons:
1) It's the only course in Athens.
2) Old baskets (locals keep them because it adds to the originality of the course.
3) I understand why the layout on the back could be problematic if the course were crowded.
4) Not much else to complain about here.

Other Thoughts:
I've been playing regularly for 2 years and have played 50 courses in Texas and Oklahoma. The low average rating for this course is a surprise to me. I live in the DFW area and always include this course as a must play when I visit Tyler 30 miles away. If you can finish this course under par, you might have room to complain. If not, you should be able to enjoy what this course has to offer.

Pros:
Great area. Kept Clean. great hole variety. A lot of the holes cut directly through the woods leaving you with only a little bit of room to make mistakes, while others are placed directly in a an open field. Water even comes into play occasionally.
Cons:
Discs can be hard to find and/or get to if thrown into the brush, but that can really happen anywhere with thick woods.
Other Thoughts:
Definitely worth playing if in or around Athens
