PARK DESCRIPTION - Chattahoochee Pointe Park is a fairly large park set below a very exclusive housing development which overlooks much of the park. The park has acres and acres of grassy areas which are fields which have been mown. There is a pavilion with restrooms at the beginning. A nice new pavilion of some sort is currently under construction by hole 15.

VARIETY - The first three holes play through wooded areas and then 16 & 17 are wooded. The rest are mostly open to wide open with a few trees, a ditch or rows of trees thrown in.

ELEVATION - The course is flat.

CHALLENGE - Most of the challenge here is distance. From the Long Blues, the course is long with a 970', four holes over 400' and ten others in the 300' range. Playing it from the Short Whites shortens it quite a bit.

EQUIPMENT - The concrete tee pads have received some complaints from reviewers about being a little short. The signs are lovely colored, metal ones with the excellent pin positions indicators that many other fine Atlanta courses utilize. The baskets are red, Discatcher 28 models. The first few are nice and shiny but most of ones in the sun have faded to an unpleasant shade of pink. This fading would make me hesitant about purchasing them again, especially when this course is just two years old. There are more next tee signs than necessary.

AESTHETICS - It was kind of lacking for me. Much of the grass is not lawn but mowed prairie grassland. I found it uncomfortable to walk over and totally eliminated throwing any rollers.

FUN FACTOR - Because I dislike wide, open courses with 500-600' open holes, this course wasn't nearly as enjoyable as almost all of Atlanta's stable of 3.0 to 4.0 rated wooded 18's. And yes, having a weenie arm certainly factors in. There was a group of four beginners attempting to play the course with, maybe six discs between them. They were having a miserable time out in the hot sun, wind and wide-open spaces and were about to give up disc golf altogether. I convinced them that, although mostly open, this is not a course suitable for beginners.

ROUTING/NAVIGATION - Mostly intuitive, although the backtrack on # 5 is inconvenient.

The tee pads could probably be longer on a course with this many bomber holes.

It can get hot and sunny out on the open holes.

Windy at times.

Other reviewers have all mentioned the course can get soggy after a rain.

Too many open holes with little or no obstacles = little opportunity for shot shaping.

Flatness.

There were some hilarious examples of next tee signs when there is a clear worn path leading to the next tee and sitting 50' in front of the tee sign and pads is a sign pointing the way. I've played about a thousand courses that could make better use these next tee signs.

On my course bagging trip here in Atlanta, I've played 21 courses and observed no vandalism, as in zero vandalism. Congratulations Atlanta, that's something to be proud of. Until Chattahoochee Pointe, that is, where someone has trashed the # 7 tee sign. And I think I know who it is? It's that kid with the black fingernails and multiple piercings who lives in the big brown house up on the hill. I think it's the 12th house from the left. Keep an eye out for him!

The course uses what it has to work with pretty well.

-Amenities: Great baskets. Nice concrete tees. Great signage. Next tee signs where appropriate. Working water fountain. Could use a few more benches.

-Maintenance: Seems to be mowed regularly, leaving clearly defined fairways in the wide open fields. The park is in great shape generally.

-Interest in Shots: This could have been a terrible course, given the flatness and openness of the property. However, many holes have a factor to add interest. For example, (1), (5), and (16) are tunnel shots of various types; (2), (6), and (7) require hitting non-trivial gaps from the tee; (9) introduces a low ceiling immediately off the tee; (4) and (12) are multi-shot plays requiring smart placement to throw well. The good use of the sporadic existing trees makes Chattahoochee Pointe an enjoyable golfing round, not just a driving range.

-Navigability: Openness and next tee signs make the course followable without a course map.

-Multi-Tees/Pins: Two tees per hole and multiple pin placements. Should appeal to a variety of skill levels under Advanced.

The plot is too flat and too open.

-Interest in Shots: The holes that don't incorporate trees are truly boring. Several 300-400 ft holes with nothing but grass and a straight shot took this course down to "Decent/Typical" for me.

-Terrain: No elevation change at all.

-No Shade: The course will get pretty sweltering with no break from the summer sun.

-Lost Disc Potential: Very small con. Speaking from experience, errant shots on (15) may sink into tall grass and mud.

After reading reviews I thought Chattahoochee Pointe would be dreadfully boring, but I enjoyed both of my rounds here. I'm impressed with how solid a course it feels like, considering the number of flat, straight, and not particularly fun holes. I'd say it's worth a try for folks on the east/northeast side of Atlanta.

1. Located in a nice maintained park.

2. Bathrooms on site.

3. Great signage on both long and short pads.

4. Nice new concrete teepads on both long and short pads.

5. Hole 1 and 5 are fantastic.

1. Very repetitive and boring design. The long pads felt like I kept playing the poke a drive through the line of trees along the ditch off the tee and great upshot to get the three on multiple holes.

2. Lacks elevation.

3. Gf played short pads and they looked monotonous.

4. Not much shade if it's a hot day (we are in the south).

Both the gf and I were bored out of our minds with this course. Maybe the trees will grow to make the course more interesting, but they looked randomly planted.

Come to play hole 1 and 5. Other than that, it's just a cookie cutter course in a cookie cutter subdivision.

At the back of an affluent subdivision, a riverside park with a ton of letters in its name now includes a brand-new disc golf course. A popular locale for walkers and hikers, Chattahoochee Pointe Park has recently added concrete teepads and baskets with bright-red banners to its amenities.

The course starts with promise as the picturesque wooded Hole #1 is one of the nicest holes. And Hole #2 from the long tee requires some maneuvering by trees. After that, many of the remaining holes feature few obstacles, especially from the short tees.

The holes that incorporate trees are the best on the course. Hole #5 is a tricky short hole featuring a narrow and plateaued fairway with modest drop-offs on each side. Holes #16 and #17 return to the woods and while straight-ahead and fairly flat, the basket locations offer a nice challenge.

The incredible and detailed signage is typical of other Atlanta-area courses, featuring distance, pin location and elevation change.

The "traversability" on this course will be high ... as long as the grass remains short. If frequent mowing isn't performed, the abundant field grass will be difficult to walk in and could gobble up fairway drives.

The distance difference between the white (short) and blue (long) tees is substantial at more than 2,300 feet. The pars listed are the same for each distance.

There are three par-4s and one par-5. From the short tees, the par-4s are definitely "tweeners" at 385, 390 and 455 feet in length.

Very flat. Like a pancake. The elevation change feature on the signs is irrelevant - there isn't more than eight feet of elevation change on any hole.

Repetitive. While the blue tees offer a bit more of direction change on several holes, nearly every hole from the white tees requires a redundant, straight-ahead throw.

Few obstacles. While the course design tries to incorporate the existing trees, most of the holes are fairly wide open. Holes #13 to #15 definitely feel like "filler" holes and Hole #18 is a fairly disappointing conclusion.

Navigation can be a bit tricky for first-time visitors. The first teepad isn't obvious from the parking lot - facing the bathrooms, turn left and walk down the road a couple hundred yards. And on several holes, throwing to the correct basket might require a bit of guesswork due to adjacent fairways in the wide-open fields.

No epic signature holes. While a couple of the wooded holes are nice, they aren't long. And the longer holes are too wide open to be memorable.

Chattahoochee Pointe Park provides a nice change-of-pace from some of the other Metro Atlanta courses. Despite being flat and fairly-open throughout, the course is a commendable play for those seeking to do "field work" during their round or seek a more casual experience that doesn't involve hitting trees every other throw.

Nice bathrooms, new everything....Baskets, pads, signage....

Bland course design overall... New terrain is still kinda rough and the day I was there the grass was high and allot of newbies trying to find their discs in the wide open fields held up play allot.....

Hole number 1 gave me great hope... But then was progressively disappointed as I continued.....
Massive amount of acreage... And most of it pretty open.... But the design didn't use it's potential... Front 9 finishes very far from the parking/bathrooms.... And walk from the basket to next pad on many is just not well planned...I prefer a more technical course instead of just slinging discs into a field... I'm sure this will mature and they should add some trees to make it more interesting....
The longest hole had the group in front of me throwing at multiple wrong baskets....
I'll be back to test it more... But just feels mediocre at best...
