(2.876 Rating) A short, moderate to heavily wooded layout that's cherished by the locals.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - This mostly wooded layout has some really eye pleasing lines. Other than hole (13) I'd say all the holes here look aesthetically average or better. This stated, none of the holes here have mind blowing looks either. I want to say that hole (3) was probably my favorite looking hole where the entire left side has a drop off element to it in addition to the heavily wooded tunnel shot.
- CHALLENGING - Slightly more difficult than the average course. Most of the lines to the basket are in the 10 to 20 foot width range. Players that can throw straight will have an advantage here over players that can bomb-it. I think the typical 900 rated player will average around par or a couple below.
- CHARACTER - Slightly above average. Nice concrete tees being 5 feet by 10 feet. Every hole has benches and all but one of these was under shade. There are shelters with picnic tables in the park and there's a deteriorating community board near tee (1). As for missing items, no alternate basket placements, no multi-tees and no practice basket.
- SHOT SHAPING - Lots. Any player that enjoys shorter technical courses will really enjoy this layout. Lines move left and right. Several lines require an "s" shot for the optimal play towards the basket.
- QUICK PLAY - I blew through this course in 40 minutes. I caught the tail end of what I thought was a small league gathering, but since the players were just finishing up as I started, I got a course that was basically empty. I figure a foursome can tackle this course in 90 to 100 minutes.
- LOCATION - Can you really go wrong with 36 holes at one location?

A solid course with a few minor issues and some preferential features.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - Players with under 50 rounds in the bag should stay clear of this course. Way too many tight lines for players not adjusted to releasing at a consistent point. Chickasabogue should be a good course for Recreational players and Intermediates and especially for those that enjoy the technical side of the challenge.
- PAY TO PLAY - $1 to enter the park, which is worth it for this course combo.
- DISCONTINUITY - Really more of a note than a con, but tee (10) and the entire back nine is located across the park road from the front nine.
- CHAINS - The baskets are older Mach 3s. Many are rusting away and the number on top is peeling away in a couple instances. Hole (13s) number sign is missing completely from the basket so when a player sees two baskets down fairway with no observable number, a guessing game will ensue. I guessed correctly. I'll also note that the baskets are very hard to see in the woods on first play.
- UNIQUENESS - The course has a real monotonous feel to it. For a wooded course, it's actually one of the lower courses I've scored in terms of variety. Hole (13) and (14) are the only openish shots and the other 16 wooded holes all have a similar feel. All the wooded holes weave through a tall ageing canopy. As stated under the shot shaping pro, the lines will cut left and right, but the surrounding elements are always the same. There are no water elements to contend with other than maybe the shallow swale running thru the tree line on (14). Elevation is also not going to register for most players outside the region. Hole (3) maybe hits the 15 foot down mark, but its gradual over the entire 300 feet.
- TERRAIN - I would call this course somewhat cart friendly. A few too many nooks and tree stubs to make rolling around a cart a seamless experience. Not the best course for those with knee joint pain or walking difficulties
- PARKING - A gravel parking lot.

A solid technical course offering several challenging looks. I personally was entertained through most of the course but eventually got tired of the same look hole after hole. Players that feel the need to bomb shots are not going to enjoy this course as much as others. I could see a player who throws 400 foot drives becoming frustrated about throwing putters early into trees. Still definitely worth a look see after a player has experienced the Admiral. From reading other reviews in the area, there's quite a bit of drop in quality after that course, so I could see the two course combo at Chickasabogue being some players second favorite place in the area. It's currently my second favorite, but then again I've only hit 7 area courses as of this review.
- NAVIGATION - No course map on site and the one online is very diagrammatic and incorrect for (13) and (14). No directional aids or cues. No tee signage on (14) and (18). The transition between (15) and (16) and also between (17) and (18) are both a bit of a double back. So why am I not listing navigation under the cons? Well, the pathways here are just so intuitive, that I guessed right every time.

Novice friendly. Technical shots rewarded. Shaded. Fairly short. Course is easy to follow.
Tee markers accurate. Concrete tee pads. Snacks and discs offered nearby. 27-hole format offers variation.

Not enough opportunities to throw some bombs.

Short but highly technical woods course. Well-defined fairways with decent shot variety and challenge, and with the exception of two holes, you're in the shade the whole time. The course consists of an older 18-hole course with concrete tee pads and a newer 9-hole alternate layout that has natural tee pads and new DGA baskets. Fairly balanced over the whole 27 holes, but the 18-hole course seems to have some repetitive right-turning layouts. The alternate 9-hole course is somewhat longer than the older 18-hole course and had plenty of variety over the 9 holes. The presence of the canopy has taken long OH shots out of the bag and force hyzer and anny control to the forefront of your round. The underbrush is neither sparse nor congested, so bad kicks off of the pines will still require a score-saving miracle shot or two. The pine needle carpet generates some high-velocity skips and add a dimension to the hole approach.

Each hole on the main 18-hole course has a marker with distance and general hole layout. The alternate 9-hole course has white markers with hole numbers only. Next-hole markers on some of those alternate holes to help navigation. Navigation on the 18-hole course was fairly straightforward and easy. Plenty of benches throughout the course. The 18-hole and alternate 9-hole course's layout brings you back to the parking lot after nine holes, regardless of the order you play them in, which allows easy refilling of water bottles and fresh clothes, if necessary. The ranger station/gate has some discs, drinks, and munchies that are always welcome in proximity to a quality course.

The 18-hole main course shows some signs of it's age as the baskets have just enough discoloration to make them hard to see under the shady canopy of the Chickasabouge pines. Most baskets have hole numbers and high-visibility tape to aid in the optics, but they have seen better days as well. Navigation on the alternate 9 hole course was tricky a couple of times, but not impossible. The alternate 9-hole course still needs some beat-in and maybe some trimming to match to potential of the 18-hole course. Not a ton of distance on the main 18-hole course. Not much elevation in play, but enough to be respected on some holes. No water when we played, but a wet spring/summer could see some of the shallow ditches/creeks come to life and add an H2O aspect to the course.

Bugs. Mosquitoes and other flesh-hungry flying critters were out, even in the early morning. Bring the bug spray, leave the sunscreen.

Fun course that kept the hot South Alabama sun from sapping too much energy. Old growth pines and plenty of wildlife on this tucked away course in LA (lower Alabama). A little repetition and not much D, but 27 holes of tight fairways requiring consistent execution and line-shaping make for a good morning or afternoon round just outside of Mobile.

1) Great pads and signs, some of the best in Mobile

2) Benches at every Hole

3) Shaded, so cooler that some of the local open courses

4) Many short technical holes

5) Doesn't favor either Right Handed throwers,
a nice change, quite a few right hand curves

6)Great beginner course, but not a give away course for moderately skilled players

7) Nice Fairways, surrounded by woods

1) Too short, Longest two holes we're around 370' and 340'. Used a Roc for a lot of this course

2) Can Be VERY crowded

3) Alcohol is allowed, so drunks can be rather annoying

4) Pay to play- While only a dollar to get into the park, It is one of the few "pay to play" courses in the area

Personally this course reminded me of Cottage Hill park in Mobile, only quite a bit easier.

Nice selection of discs at the ranger's station at the entrance of the park. (although they do run about a dollar a piece higher than at Academy sports in Mobile
