(2.713 Rating) An aging layout that desperately needs a maintenance overhaul.
- COURSE EDITS - Please note that this course has gotten several tweaks since the last review and even more over the entire history of the course. My description of many holes won't match pervious reviews. Most of the recent tweaks appear to be on the back 9.
- CHALLENGING - Not a terribly long course, but more difficult than what's presented on paper. The greens are very well designed and protected considering what was available to use. The landscape is light to moderately wooded yet several fairways require a well though-out shaped drive. I was humbled several times with some epic mistakes. The back tees felt like a tweener between Intermediate and Advanced and the Red tees appeared to be Recreational Level. This is one of those courses where you have to take what the course gives you. Getting greedy or lack of focus can be punishing.
- UNIQUENESS - Surprisingly really good for a small city park course. Up shots, down shots, left hooks, right hooks. Lots of gut checking water in play in the forms of stay short, clears and parallels. 400 foot bombs and 150 foot technical plays. (18) is a unique hanging basket on a cliff edge and (7) is a one of its kind metal pipe guarded basket that can only be aced with a hooking shot from either side.
- NAVIGATION - Barely adequate. Newer signage at the back tees. Some navigational cues to the next tee at several baskets. No course map on site and a few gaps in directions had me wandering a couple times.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - Two sets of tees that should appeal to players at the Novice level to lower Advanced. Novice players should skip a few holes due to the unforgiving water hazards.
- QUICK PLAY - I finished in just under an hour solo on a blind solo round. Figure under 2 hours for a four some.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Wonderful is sections, but a lot to be desired in other parts. I'll start with the good. Some monster trees to peek my interest. A meandering creek, eye appealing valley shots and some good looking down shots. On the flip side, a general lack of maintenance (see cons below) and lots of trash along the creek. I graded the overall beauty at a touch above average.

Chickasaw needs a lot of volunteer course work and upgraded amenities.
- MAINTENANCE - I read on a couple other reviews that maintenance had turned for the better. Well it's sad to report that the course has made an about face. Large tree branches on several fairways and one could tell they had been down for awhile as there were no leaves on them. Tees are in poor shape, baskets are in poor shape and facilities are in poor shape.
- BLACK WATER - I was warned about this in previous reviews and it completely changed how I played. I lost a disc on (11), after touching that one lone branch that's seemingly gifted with an ability to redirect discs into a creek. The water looks nasty and an object six inches under water will likely be unseen. The black water element crushed my personal fun factor for the course.
- MODIFIED DESIGN - A recent modification I think has made the course worse. Namely hole (16) which is a 30 foot wide fairway (verified per satellite measurement) and it has no bail-out. That may seem like a lot reading it, but the circle is 65 feet wide. OB tall fence right with no chance to get an errant disc back. OB left is black water, with a good chance to lose a disc. I threw my putter 100 feet two times and then missed a long putt to make a 4.
- MULTI USE HAZARDS - Other park amenities or roads come into play several time. Hole (1) to start puts parking into play. Hole (2) throws over a park road and an amphitheater. Hole (6) plays along a road. Hole (10) finishes by a structure. Hole (15) is along a road. Hole (18) plays along a tennis court fence.
- TEES - Natural tees in passable shape. I'd up my rating over the 2.75 threshold if they were concrete. No tee line.
- CHAINS - The baskets are old and have taken a beating. New baskets are needed.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - I would not take a beginner here. They will throw your plastic into the water which will result in a lost disc or a lost friend who dies weeks later from a brain eating amoeba.

I was thinking a 3 rating until the black water sucked the fun right out of the round on the back nine. I actually inputted the numbers twice from scratch and got a mid 2.6 the second time. In its current state and IMO, this a tweener 2.75 course. The course desperately needs maintenance and a couple tweaks. The land and most of the design is good enough to deliver 3.25 level game play. It's a shame that these fixable course aspects are holding my score back. Regardless, still a course worth checking out if in the area, although I'd personally head to nearby Chickasaw County Park before heading here.
- HANGING BASKETS - There are 4 hanging baskets on the layout. Two are at the typical basket height level. What does that accomplish?
- REVIEW TITLE - Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a children's book that my daughter likes. I did not observe any letters of the alphabet racing to the top of a coconut tree.

Neat little neighborhood park. Great setup for having a great course. Holes are Laid out well with a lot of variance.

Course needs help from some DG enthusiasts. It need to be cleaned up. Tee boxes need to be repaired/built. Signage is needed showing lengths of holes. Looks like a low income area but did not feel threatened in any way. Lots of people just walking through here and there.

Wish I had this locally in my area. More potential than anything that is currently in use.

Short, relatively easy course, yet fun with the hills, obstacles, and even the creek.

A good course for beginners (beware the creek) and moderate players; top players will find it less-than-challenging.

Neighborhood park in a good residential area.

Little underbrush to search for discs; keep out of the ditch and you're probably not losing any plastic.

The teepads (well explained by earlier reviewers).

Not terribly challenging.

Course winds through a park with fairly big hills, large trees, a steep-sided drainage ditch, and among park features such as a covered bridge, swimming pool, amphitheatre (which you throw over). I only played during workdays while on vacation, but wondered whether the non-disc-playing public might be in the way.

Challenging Basket locations: Some of them were either tucked in next trees or bushes or perched up on the side of a hill.
Scenery: Clean nice park and surrounding area with no poison oak/ivy to speak of.
Amenities: Benches and Trash cans on every hole.
Marking: All tee boxes are marked and cages are labeled with metal signs which made an awesome sound with the chains.
Elevation Changes- Again, made for a challenging round of DG which is sure to make you scratch your head.

Tee Boxes: Or should I say, lack there of. Some were plain grass(ok), some were makeshift cement/blacktop slabs that were more like a small circle of cement(BAD), one was sand and others were just plain dirt.
Baskets: Most disc catchers were in okay shape, but there was a wide variety of types as well as heights for them so no putting flow could ever be reached.
THE "CREEK/SEWER": This thing runs pretty much the length of the course and comes into play on at least half of the holes. IT'S A DISC EATER! Not only is it deep(3+ ft in places), but too dark and nasty to see ANYTHING! Suggest a dragon or hydra on this course for sure.
Map: No map was available at the start. It looked like there was normally one there, but it was all out. You can figure the course out without it though.

This course is actually pretty sweet. If the tee boxes, cages and "CREEK/SEWER" weren't an issue this course would rank much higher. If you're in the area I'd suggest University of Southern Alabama, Chickasabouge or Langan Park over this one for sure.
