-I helped out some with the recent revamp and this is as close as I can get to an unbiased review....

-Good course with mix of woods for more controlled shots and open spaces to bring out the firepower. A great place to get started out.

-Multiple pin placements and different Tee Pads for different levels of players

-The alternate holes are great!

-The complex is real nice

-The wind flags are a new and welcome touch, especially since Central Park is some type of wind vortex!

-The fairways are well maintained and the park workers and volunteers love the disc golf course, and it shows.

-Benches on every couple of holes.

-The walk from 18 isn't as bad as it used to be....

-During baseball season the concession stands are open....so that's a HUGE plus

-Several holes have new pin placements for them

-Lots of new signs to help navigate the new stuff

-The rubber Tee Pads are a little uneven, some holes don't have any pad at all. Better laid rubber tee pads would be fantastic. Concrete isn't an option since the course changes around so much.

-Though not very many people play them, the white tees are harder to navigate now then they used to be.

-Some of the undergrowth surrounding the holes that run alongside the woods is real thick, and a breeding ground for poison ivey (trust me, I'm covered in it right now), but as revrawlins said it's not to hard to find your disc if you spot where it went

-Even though the course was redesigned to take pedestrian walkways out of the picture, the non disc golf traffic on and near hole 6 is still an issue since there is a creek and everyone loves creeks. I had to deal with kids playing on hole 17 and 18's fairways during football season this past season and it's really annoying. What's worse is the fact that there is nothing that there is no amount of redesigning you can do to eliminate all the pedestrians and dog walkers....

-The tee signs at several of the boxes aren't the one for the corresponding hole, (not an issue for locals, but for out-of towners this could be a make or break to make people want to come back)....hopefully some new tee signs will be in order soon.

-The new hole 18, from red if you throw something too flippy or understable, it still brings the pedestrian walkway into play. Since you're kind of downhill, you can't really see around the corner to see if you've hit someone or not.

The park is great. I love it here! A lot of my cons cannot be helped, but the FOCO Disc golf club has done a tremendous job with the amount of resources they had to redirect some of the course. The scene in Forsyth County is growing. And you better take some walking shoes, the elevation changes make for a great walk. Also on #12A, the words "Disc Golf" are spelled out in stone! That's a little cool touch here. I recommend people to come play here.

this course has a good mix of open holes and tight woods, great/challenging pin placements, great and easy to discern tee signs, decent elevation changes, talented and friendly groundskeepers.

The course has a crap ton of undergrowth on some holes, though if you pay attention to where it hits the brush then you'll be golden.

I've had some of the best games of my life on this course, i've met a lot of great folks who always seem to have solid advice and take the advice you give them. the old homeplace has a great community around it and if you havent played here yet, you need to.

27 baskets and very challenging shots are required. Very good use of elevation changes within the park.

Great tee signs and 3 tees on most holes. Benches were available on most holes.

#14 looks very intimidating yet played easier than it looked.

Challenging from the red tees and the blue pro tees are indeed pro caliber.

The winds flags on top of the baskets are very nice touch!

This park is in a great municiple complex.

White am tees are almost too easy. There is a longer walk between holes than the white tees themselves.

The rubber tees are are not in good condition because they are not installed properly. The ground should be leveled before the rubber is simply laided down.

This course does not hold water very well. I played here on 5/4/09 after a rainy day and the conditions were poor. Red mud and standing water were all over the course.

The extra holes 12a - 12i are more wooded and somewhat confusing to find, some next tee signs would help with these holes.

A few holes are too close to the ball fields and fences, I can envsison some discs going over the outfield fences.

After #18 you back track to the parking lot.

I'd like to rate this a 4 star course yet there are several cons as I listed. Last week I gave Idlewild only 4.5 stars and after playing 230+ courses, I admittedly grade courses rather hard.



There are signs all over stating to use the trash cans every few holes yet I saw only one trash can and it was an old cooler.

After #13 do not go left as I did to #17 behind the ball field, go up the hill towards the drainage pond/fence.

Traffic on 140 going north from Johns Creek,GA sucks at 4:30p,
once you're on GA 400 it's much better.

(Partial update to include new rating system)

Nice scenery, a good variety of holes.
(If you play the 9 wooded).
Wind flags on baskets makes them easy to spot.
Multiple tee positions and several holes have alternate basket positions.
Nice elevation changes.
Good mix of wooded and open holes.

Rubber tee mats in various stages of decay.
Muddy and marshy after rain (not really the course's fault though.)
Some traffic to deal with but people seemed more aware than at other parks.
Signs were decent, but could be better, especially for a course that hosts pro tour events.

We enjoyed our time out here.
Wind is a factor here and will cause interesting things to happen.
For beginners like us it was a good course with a good variety of wooded, hilly, and open shots.
The alternate 9 in the woods are awesome and a welcome change from the open holes.
While having several baskets in the middle of the busy park is sort of a negative, it was a very good use of the space. For instance 17 goes in a small valley between a couple ball-fields...otherwise useless space.

Using my new system this course scored a 68 out of 100.

Better tee-pads and better signs would certainly up the ante.
Ending the course where it ends is a necessary evil, but the walk can be minimized by going between ball fields.

-Multiple tees for diffrent levels of play.

-Extra holes provide a nice change of pace from the open 18.

-The park has all the amenities you might need, and with a police station at the entrance, you and your car will be safe.

-Nice practice area near hole 1.

-Locals have recently made upgrades to signs, and installed wind flags on the baskets.You wont have any problem finding your way through the course.

-Good course to introduce a new player to the game.

-Good course for a experienced player to touch up on his wind game.

-Teepads.Most have rubber mats, but they are lumpy and rutted underneath.

-This park is extremely busy with non dg traffic, you will have to wait on joggers or bikers at some point during your round.

-No shot selection.For a RHBH you can throw a straight/hyzer shot on every hole except 3, H (The last extra hole) and 16 blue pad.

-Blue pad course design is not well thought out.Hole 10 plays over 9 long pin basket.16 also plays directly over 15 basket.Hole 1 plays over the park entrance road, and on hole 2, if you go left you will hit a car.

-On holes 9,18 and 16 (more so on 16) Is very possible that a bad shot will head towards a busy walking path.Please be aware of your surroundings.

-If you choose to play the woods holes, The first one forces you to throw over 12's fairway.The second holes BLUE pad is covered in ankle high grass.The 5th BLUE pad had a fallen tree blocking it when I was here on 4-18-09.

-After playing 18, you have to walk back towards the tee to get back to your car.

From the red pads this course is a typical try to put it under the basket on almost every hole course.From the blue pads most holes are longer but there is no danger, so most times you get a 3, due to a ho-hum easy upshot.

Others have mentioned the wind out here and they are right to do so.It is always a factor here.My favorite part is that it seems like whatever direction you are facing, on every hole, its a headwind.This place is a wind vortex or something.

This course is decent overall, but nothing special.For locals its a nice change from some of the other local courses, but to a out of towner, I would say dont worry if you miss it.

Nice layout and challenging for both open fairway shots and woods shots. Friendly locals. Good signage to direct you, showing all tee boxes and pin positions for every hole. Awesome flags with hole #/wind speed and direction indicators on every pin. Mowed fairways are always welcome!

No real cons of any significance. Most blue and all gold tees are very long for intermediate players like myself (not necessarily a con if you throw a 400+ driver, which I don't).

Overall an excellent course. Recently replaced Redan as my course of choice in the Atlanta area. You need to play this one. I will be back a LOT.

Edit: The park itself is dog friendly, but there are signs for holes 3 and 4 that indicate no dogs beyond this point. Not really a big deal as there are 27 holes anyway -- just something to note if you are bringing your four legged friend. Great course now that the grass and trees have come in!

Keep in mind that there is literally a police station right at the front of the park...which is why I didn't take my dog onto hole 3 & 4. Also, there were plenty of signs today indicating that alcohol is not permitted in the park and tickets are being issued to offenders. I'd keep that or anything else (ahem) under deep cover if I were you...

*Note* I have not played any alternate holes yet, this review is just the main 18 holes.

This is a very decent course worthy of the effort to go and play. The course roves around this large park through wooded areas and open fields. You will find a couple of holes running along and beside a small creek. Number six is especial fun with the basket placed on an "island" just past its banks following a nice downhill drive. There is nice elevation changes throughout the course and they're complimented with a nice variation of hole lengths. Some of the open holes are kept challenging by distance or out of bounds placements.

Multiple pin placements offer a change of pace and are complimented by the multiple tee pads. The whites are really short and I think it is a nice feature for children and new players to be able to earn a little confidence in their game. On the flip side there are still the red and blues for the advanced players as well. I saw a few golds also and they seemed appropriate for the professionals.

The baskets are in great shape and are fitted with some wind speed/direction flags. They are very helpful on the wind prone open holes. There are eighteen new signs at each hole and navigation is quite easy. You should spend no time searching around for the next hole. The grass is cut for defined fairways on the open holes and is also helpful.

A practice basket near hole number one is nice for a quick brush up on your putting.

I do like the fact that they have lots of "watch for flying discs" warning signs for the pedestrians and not "watch out for pedestrians" signs for golfers. They must really love disc golf!

Rubber tee pads are nice enough I just wish the ground below was leveled out a little more before they were laid. Most are ok but a few have some hidden "holes" beneath them. I would feel around a little before you take off. Most of the course does not interfere with other activities. A few holes do though, namely walking/bike trails. You will have to wait a couple of times here and there. Also I never really like playing near ball fields or playgrounds very much (17 and 18). Beyond that this is a solid course.

Hole number three has had some trees cleared out in the fairway and now has become a super nice hole. Along with the new signs it appears that lots of improvements are underway. The Atlanta open is playing here in March 2009 so I am sure they are going to spiff things up for that. Let's hope for concrete pads in the future.

I play this course very often and it continues to improve. New wind flags on all 27 holes and last time we played they were halfway done putting in new tee box signs, real nice and huge!

Tee boxes are in need of concrete. The rubber is too slippery after a rain and too uneven to trust not getting injured for an old guy like me.

Use the Satellite map as the other map here shows the old holes #1-4. The Hole Info Chart here also shows the old holes #1-4. Old holes 3-4 are the new 1-2 and there is no footage marked for the new 3-4 on the map. They have also cut down some trees on #3 making it much more playable.
For the "Woods" holes: After playing #12 turn around and look left into the woods for "Disc Golf" spelled in rocks. Just above that is the pin for #12A. The red & blue tees are up the hill to the right. With the new signs there should be no trouble finding your way any more.

The course is longer making for some challenging holes especially in the wind. The multiple tee pads add some variety as well as the 27 hole layout.

The course is very poorly maintained and thought out. Several of the holes are long enough where virtually no one can reach them but easy enough where no one will make a four. When players make a three on a hole 90% of the time its just a bad hole. Holes 3 and 4 are perhaps some of the worst in Georgia. The course is not well marked at all on the main 18 holes and really, really poorly marked on the other nine.

The only reason I gave this course a 3 is because it does have potential based on the fact that most of it is not in the middle of the woods with no fairways like so many other courses. It needs a complete redesign to fix it correctly. The land there is perfect for a disc golf course. Playing there reminds me of River Phoenix, so much potential yet almost completely wasted.

This course is set in a beautiful area in a fantastic complex. The course is fairly long in my opinion and offers a variety of holes that cater to all games. There are 18 open holes as well as an additional 9 holes that are located in the woods (A-I).

The location of the course pretty much keeps to itself, but there are occasions you might have to yield to pedestrian traffic. Holes #3 & #4 are located in the woods and hole #6 plays to an island green which I particularly like.

The condition of the course is in relatively good shape, but I have only played during the late months of the year. Baskets are also in pretty good shape with the exception of the flags which would be nice.

One drawback I've found is that if you're not familiar with the course, it can be a little difficult to navigate. Signage is a little sparse, and the placards at each tee box are either hard to read or non-existent for the most part. There's really not much direction for the wooded holes (A-I) either.



Tee pads could be improved I guess, but the rubber pads are better than nothing.

Overall, this is a good course in my opinion. I prefer a good variety, and I believe this course offers a little bit of everything. I guess I would call this my home course because of its proximity. Apparently there are weekly touneys there and Sunday morning doubles that I would like to check out.

It may not be the best course around the Metro, but it's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the north Georgia area.

Some very long holes, some short, tight holes, good mix, and you get a lot of exercise here for sure, minimal interaction with other activities.

No much - worst thing to me are the teepads - if they had concrete here this course could be the bomb.

Overall one of my favorites in the Atlanta area - it's pretty darn hard to score well here - you have to be on your best game to shoot low scores, esp. from the farther back tee pads.

This course gives you a little bit of everything. Lots of open space and some thoughtful wooded holes. It's long but doesn't really play that way. Lots of variety of shots can be thrown and are highly recommended. It even plays well when it's wet. It has multiple tees which is friendly to all level players. Many of the holes are forgiving on a bad throw. There is a stream that runs through it and causes no problems. The people walking or running are great. The rarely get in the way. The dogs they have are great too. Both pets and owners like to watch the throws.

Overall it's a good course, but there could be some improvements. The signs are good, but could be better. Many are hard to read or have disappeared over time. The alternate (12a-i) holes could be easier to find. There is a bit of over-growth, but that comes with the territory. The walk back to the car after a long or bad round is no fun. The tees are hit and miss. Some are dirt and some are rubber. The dirt turns to mud after the rain making it tough to keep your balance on drives.

Many of the reviews complain about the walk. I'm not in shape at all and it's not so bad. It is built around all fields and bike trails after all. The worst thing is the walk back to the care after a long round. I just park closer to the last hole and take my time on the start. This is the course I started on and couldn't ask for a better one.

This great course has been redsigned and made better.

Good baskets
wind flags
great signage
50/50 mix of open and wooded holes
several new holes that are tough
well thought out
great local club
sunday doubles

we need to work on some of the teepads

This course is a GREAT course in the ATL area. It may even be one of the best now. The ATL Open national event was here 3 times, hint hint, course is in GREAT SHAPE!!!! This is my home course and I am very thankful!!!!

Great course lay out, great variety of holes that require just about every shot you have in your bag. Anywhere from hyzer BH to thumbers and hammers, can use just about any shot you can think of. Great elevation changes throughout entire course. Some holes play through a creek with is always awesome. Locals are very friendly and also they host a weekly tourny or sunday doubles at 1. Mostly open course but also has a seperate 9 holes that extend off hole 12 that was heavily wooded. Majority of holes require some power so the weaker arms might be at a disadvantage somewhat, but they have 3 diff. tee selections for all skill levels. Newly added signs and tee pads are excellent!! A++

There was a biking path that intertwined with some of the course but nothing big just be careful and watch for bikers. The course comes pretty close to some other parts of the park but I didn't go when it was crowded so not much of a problem.

Bring plenty of liquids cause its a pretty long course and this course is so awesome that it is hosting the Atlanta Open this year! Yes, Climo aka the Champ will be there!

This course has everything from tightly wooded holes to wide open fairways. You tee off from huge hills on some holes and then on others you're looking up a mountain. There are three tees for every hole and most holes have multiple placements. The first two holes are fairly open, straight shots, but then you're into the woods for two holes, until you start some longer, more complex holes. Hole six plays over a small creek which is a nice accent. After hole twelve there are nine holes that play through a more wooded area. If you're going to play all 27 holes then you better be ready to walk for a few hours.

This course might not be the best fit for low power players because a fairly large amount of holes are far away. However, the white tees do make teeing off a lot easier. The scenery isn't that great either on about half of the course, but Central Park is a very impressive complex.

This course is one of my favorite courses in the state of Georgia. It might not have the scenery that courses in Appling do, but it offers every kind of shot and makes you a very well rounded player. I can see why the PDGA has added this course to the tour and the Atlanta open was held here in 2007.

There has been a lot of work done on this course since Nov. The park was extreemly clean I did not see any trash laying around at all. There are benchs and trash cans around.
Very nice variety of holes here, both wooded and wide open. The new signs are great, I did not have any problem navigateing the course. I particularlly like the new flags on the baskets. This really helped locate baskets that would be very hard to find otherwise. You will need every shot in your bad here. A very nice use of the hills available also. You will find yourself teeing from one hill throwing to another. You can find yourself either at the crest or bottom of a hill putting either up or down. But to truly experience the best of this course you must play the alternate 12 holes. Very good variety of wooded holes and a pretty walk in the woods besides. Great risk / reward, you will have to earn a good score.

There not really many cons here, the tees are rubber. For the most part this was not a problem, but a few are rather rough. A couple of the holes run very close to either the road or one of the ball diamonds. The course shares space with walking and bikeing paths but did not cause a problem.

In the intrest of honesty I had to list the "Cons" but I saw them as minor. There is plenty of challenge and fun for all here. I plan to be back soon.

Great course b/c of the variety. There's a little bit of everything here, from long straight power drives to finesse mid range hook shots.

The alternate holes are a little confusing to find, and figure out where to start.

Also, it appears that there might even be other alternate holes that I've never played before doesn't look like anyone has in a long time, but I might be wrong.

wide open course at times and playing in a jungle other times. liked it - some holes were hard to figure out when the tee box was busted but not too bad, lots of tee boxes to play from so my son got to play from the whites - which was closer then the reds and loved it

couple of holes are in the jungle and my son and I got sticker bushes that stuck us and made him cry for several holes after we got out of them - sticky sticker bushes - not really interested in playing those holes again - hole 3 and hole 4 I think

only played the first 18 - there were 9 more holes to play in the back - there were a couple of blind holes that were though the first time but looking forward to playing the next time. I think it is a good course.

Its a course where even if you are a beginner you can have a good time. The Central Park natives are very friendly. Central Park offers a nice course, fun doubles events every sunday. A must play if you are in the area. Offers 27 holes.

It is not very long. Hard to navigate through the holes. Bike course on some holes. Sidwalk path inteferes a bit. You may find yourself having to wait to throw on some holes. Not very challenging to professionals.

A must play. Very fun course. Doesn't require a lot of skill. You can pretty much throw one throw and complete the course fairly easy.

*27 holes; great mix of open bomber holes & tight wooded
*Nice terrain - rolling hills, elevation change on most holes
*Multiple teepads on every hole (white, red, blue, kinda have golds as they're very overgrown)
*Good signage; starting with kiosk @ hole 1 that has map; most tees have hand-drawn hole maps
*Good facilities @ park & located conveniently close to I-400

*Maintenance can be concern during the summer -- I've got to disagree with the previous reviews as I played this past weekend after not visiting for the better part of year to find many of the holes very overgrown....hole #15 is nearly completely blocked by trees & #2 is being overrun by tree limbs as well...grass is always cut though!
*Exposure -- it can be very windy or extremely hot (summertime in GA!). Most of the holes have little to no shade and tree cover, with the exception of the tree holes
*Most of the holes are very open and don't punish bad shots

This is a good course, but when I compare it to other area courses it always ranks well behind Redan, east roswell, Perk, JP Mosley and even fayetteville. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it's the fun factor. There are a few holes that emphasize risk/reward and require accuracy -- hole #2 (tight corridor with OB right and pavement left), and hole #5 (great pin placement on island with OB creek in front)...but many of the other holes are rather boring....

Don't drink/smoke here -- there have been issues in the past with it and some of the baskets were even temporarily pulled. Be discreet if you do!

Worth playing, but if in ATL this should be 4th or 5th priorty!

Also -- It's miserably hot to play here in the summer as there is no shade & this is a long course. If you even consider it you should think twice and head to ERP.
