A reasonably diverse, reasonably long course with no glaring holes.

-Amenities: Two sets of tees have undesirable carpet pads, okay baskets, pretty good signage for both tees, copious benches.

-Variety: Crockett has a good variety of different terrains it plays through. There are wide open hills, meadows with stands of trees, and tight woods, all with pretty consistent elevation change.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: There is a mixture of dull, decent, and very good holes out here. A few par-4s in play, with (4) and (17) being some of my favorite holes due to the secluded greens. Several holes have dangerous baskets. (1)-(3), (9), (11), and (13)-(14) are basically open; (6)-(8) are short and heavily wooded; and the remaining holes are generally open but either play in to, out of, or over woods. Elevation is substantial on a couple and noticeable on virtually every hole.

-Multi Tees/Pins: Good use of alternate tees and positions.

-Scary Holes: (12) throwing straight over a cluster of trees and (16) and (18) launching straight downhill through early tunnels are challenging and thrilling holes.

Some meh design and some undesirable transitions.

-Blandness: A lot of holes out here are pretty bland, especially the fields holes. The challenges utilized tend to only affect part of the hole, leaving substantial room for error on the rest of the hole. I wasn't thrilled at most of the tee pads.

-Navigation: Not always easy. Long transitions from (5)-(6) and (8)-(9), a confusing abundance of tees and baskets between (10)-(11), and not enough guidance for (14)-(15) and (16)-(17).

-Where to Throw: Sometimes the wrong basket is visible, and sometimes no basket is visible. Combined with the navigation, this makes it frustrating to play. One of the longer playthroughs of a clean city course I've done.

-Traffic: The Saturday I played the park was packed with both golfers and walkers on the adjacent paths, which are not out of danger.

Crockett wasn't my favorite round due to navigation woes and large crowds. It just isn't fun to trudge searching for the next tee and arrive only to discover there are exactly three obstacles. In my original review I gave it the benefit of the doubt for a 3.5, but having played a couple hundred courses since then, I think it fits at the top end of 3.0 a little better. There are some really cool holes, but too much blandness to be a regional destination.

(3.246 Rating) A midsized hybrid style course with an excellent mixture of hole types.
- NEW TEES COMING - One of the biggest complaints I saw on all the previous reviews was the deterioration of the natural and carpet tees. The course is mid-way thru a conversion to all concrete for both back and front pads.
- UNIQUENESS AND DESIGN - A satisfying variety of hole types and I used all of my discs and throwing styles. There are some short needle line technical shots and a few open bombers. A chunk of this course plays under the wide cut of tall power lines and thankfully the plays in this part were not a play down the center, but rather the layout uses the fringes on both sides for many shots. Lots of well defined pockets and also a play requiring a dive bomb from above. Elevation plays are both up and down and max out in the 40 foot range. Source Topoquest.com. I didn't notice much in the way of water elements. Perhaps on (6) a disc can find the creek to the left. Overall, I think the course designers did a wonderful job incorporating what was available to use.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - Two tees on just about every hole so this course will appeal to a large audience. There's a big different between the two pads too. The fronts I found to be best suited for 825 to 875 rated players. The back tees add about 100 feet per hole, so I figure that's got to be at least upper Intermediate level overall with some no doubt Advanced level holes.
- CHALLENGING - A few of the back tees requires power that I personally don't have. Numerous plus 400 foot par 3s and even a 700 foot par 4 depending on basket placements. I was worn out having already played 36 holes, so I played the front tees. Crockett is not a super technical course, but it does require some smart game play, and hitting a few moderate gaps.
- MAINTENANCE - The course was in great shape on my appearance. Seems like the kind of town that keeps their parks in check.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - A constant moving landscape with several appealing lines. Among the Nashville area courses, this is not as exotic as the upper tier courses, but still better than average. The huge power lines are a detractor and also a few holes at the beginning are too open for my preference. I scored the course a 3 out of 5.
- CHARACTER - In addition to the ongoing upgrade to concrete tees, adequate basics and a few extras. Satisfactory Chainstar baskets. Navigation was good thru 8 holes but then I joined a group and forgot to pay attention to the fine details. Course map posted near tee (1). Numerous holes have alternate basket placements and there is seating on several holes.

The tees that are not concrete are awful, but that's being addressed.
- OVERGROWTH - It's pretty horrid in spots. Lots of sun enhanced overgrown fairway edges. I spent significant time searching for discs.
- CHAINS - Not my favorite basket type, Chainstars, but there are far worse brands out there.
- FINISH FROM PARKING - For those that park close to tee (1), it's almost a 1,000 foot walk back to the car.
- WIND - More open than I typically like. The winds were howling down the wide cut power line gap.

I enjoyed it. A pleasant mix of almost all the elements I enjoy, from fun factor to variety to beauty to challenge. Crockett doesn't knock any of these elements out of the park, but I found them all to be noticeably above average. I played Sharp Springs the same day this course. I found Sharp Springs to be superior in all key aspects except fun factor, as Crockett's short tee layout is a more forgiving birdie fest with some ace runs. The weakest element at Crockett is the amenities and core items. With new tees coming, I'd say that's heading to above average as well. A solid course overall, but not Nashville top tier like Sharp Springs, Cane Ridge, Seven Oaks and Cedar Hill. I personally would put it in the second tier with courses like Woodland, Barfield Crescent and Liberty.
- TIME PLAY - Although not a long course, its appear to be a busy one. I fought my way through a few groups and then ultimately gave up a played in group. Thank locals David, Chris and Brian, good times. Anyways, seems like a hour plus for solos and just north of two hours for a four-some.

The course itself is easy to find in the park.

Holes #6-#8 are wonderfully designed. They are the three truly "wooded" holes on this course, and provide shots not found on the rest of the course. They are all essentially "tunnels," with plenty of trees in the way but not enough to discourage the thrower. Personally, these were my favorite holes on the course. It was a welcome reprieve after playing #1-#5 in essentially open territory.

The other group of holes that stood out to me was #14-#18. #14 is a downhill huge bomber throw with a fairly scenic view. #15 has excellent hole placement, within a cluster of trees to up the difficulty without being absurd (see the puns). #16 has one of the most satisfying shots in the course, where you throw through a well-cut line in the trees to an open area where the basket lies. #17 has a great layout, using the patches of trees as obstacles while also providing a good-sized fairway and a small clearing in the woods for the basket. #18 was like #16, but with a much larger clearing to do after the tunnel shot.

The Tee Pads were BAD, but now about HALF are large concrete pads. The turf/carpet pads on the rest of the course are serviceable in dry conditions, but nearly unplayable in muddy conditions. In a lot of places they were disintegrated, leaving a mud patch where I assume the tee was supposed to be.

It was not particularly easy to follow the course. It is clear where to begin, as #1 is right by the parking lot, but unless you study the tee sign at each hole to see where the next tee is, you can easily get lost. Having separate Pro and Amateur tees did not help this. In some instances, the tee pad and the accompanying sign were nearly 30-40 feet apart. Another issue: the baskets are not too easy to see, and sometimes the holes bleed together (9/10/18 and 12/14 for example) where you may end up aiming for the wrong basket. There is enough land at the park to rectify this, but I have no idea if any course improvements are in the works.

Personally, I thought the few trees that remained in the open areas were terribly used. Most notably, #3, #5, and #11b used trees in a way that pretty much completely prevent aces from happening. I'm all for using trees as obstacles, especially on shorter holes. However, when they are used to completely knock down a throw that's headed for an ace, without a clear alternative, it feels like a waste. #5 is the most egregious example, with about (6) 20' holly trees that completely shield the basket from the tee. When I threw to the side of the trees and saw the basket, it was about 15' behind these trees, requiring an incredibly sharp drop over the trees (or a really wide (an)hyzer throw) to have a chance at an ace. Just sliding the hole to either edge of the trees, where it becomes apparent what throw the trees are blocking, would be a significant improvement.

One thing I didn't mention in my original review: when you play in the summer, bring water. This course is HOT. You get some shade in Holes 6-8 and then pockets of shade here and there, but you are out in the full sun otherwise. Not recommended on hot days.

Lastly, there has to be a solution to the walk from the end of #18 back to the parking lot. It may involve renumbering some holes or redesigning some holes, or even adding a couple more holes (there is plenty of land for this), but it makes no sense to end the course that far away from the parking lot, especially when there is free land (i.e. behind the soccer building) where more holes could be added.

This course has grown on me as I keep playing it, and having some new tee pads (especially in the back, where it gets particularly muddy in wet conditions) has really made a big difference. I still feel like a slight redesign or some newly planted trees could help this course tremendously. It will never reach the top tier of Nashville courses (Cedar Hill, Seven Oaks, Big Daddy Cane), but it could rest comfortably in the second tier with Naval Hill, Two Rivers, etc., especially once the tee pad improvements are finished.

Well maintained course, nice scenery over the course. Course map at the beginning, take a photo 'cause you'll need it the first time out.

The first 5 holes are pretty much wide open field holes with a few large bushes placed to guard holes. It gets more interesting after that. Navigation is a challenge even with the map on the phone as a guide. Back pads are not in good shape. The last 3 holes are hard to locate. On a hot day you will cook on this one.

Nice course overall that just needs better signs & directions around the course. (Problem with most courses though).

Good signage, pro tees, multiple pins, good flow

Carpet tee pads can be wet, muddy, slippery

I've probably played this course the most. It was where I learned to snap a drive, and where I learned how to battle the wind . Great beginner course from the red tees. Challenging but fair from the tips. Loosely wooded, only a few in the woods. The wind can really mess with you from the 1st hole and the back 9. I really like this course, but there's nothing that makes it great. It's fun from both tees; its almost like 2 courses.

The course has a nice range of holes and there are a ton of elevation changes throughout the course. It's a fun course overall as there are varied tees and it seems like different pin placements on every hole. The woods holes are pretty tough, and some of the serious distance holes are hard as well due to the shifting elevations which makes judging distances even more challenging.

The course seems a little tight in spots, and the back three or four holes are right on top of one another. The major problem I had with the course was that there seem to be holes in the middle of holes and unless you've played it before, you're likely throwing to the wrong hole. Holes 10 and 12 really stick out in my mind as I was throwing at the 18th hole on 10, and the 13th hole on 12. This would likely not make a difference when it's played multiple times, but it was a really confusing setup in spots. Also, some of the woods hole--like 8--don't really have a line to the hole which makes it feel hard just to be hard--if you know what I mean.

Overall this is a pretty challenging course from the white tees. I wasn't on my game, but even if I were it would make for some really technical woods and distance shots. It's not just a big arm course. There are an equal amount of grip'n'rip shots mixed in with really technical woods holes. Overall it's worth the drive from Nashville.

This course was located in a very beautiful park in a very nice area of town. This was my first experience with carpet tees and I actually prefer them over concrete now I think but there are some cons, see below. I loved the open holes and the wooded holes were equally as fun. You start off the first few holes in the open with all about 200'-300' feet. The first hole that grabbed my eye was I believe number 7 where you are in the woods and hole is placed in the narrow woods on top of a small hill. Definitely tests your skill and kind of tells you how the rest of the day is going to pan out. Towards the back 9 there are lots of bomber holes so bring your big boy arm and let er' rip! Accuracy is key and like I said you will need a arm for this course. Also this course has very nice baskets. The tee signs were very nicely made but had some cons as well, see below.

If you aren't big on walking far and up and down hills this may not be a course to go to. If you throw it in the woods on the back 9 watch out for thick briar patches as they are everywhere. Hole 7, I believe, is right beside some fences that go to backyards of some peoples houses so if you go left you may lose your disc or ringing their doorbell. The carpet tees had lumps in most tees and this will definitely twist some ankles if not careful. Very crowded on weekend. The tee signs although very nicely made weren't helpful on where the hole was. I accidentally threw to 18 when I was on 10 and found out after I saw a group throwing towards us.

This was my first trip to Crockett Park and I will definitely be back but hopefully during the weekday. I would recommend it to anyone in the area or out of town just driving by. This place is in a very nice area of town and about 5 minutes away from good places to eat and a huge mall. Definitely a walk at this course but well worth it. The locals were very helpful with which hole is which and where to drive for the best score.

Two tee pads per hole.. Located in a very nice park.. Couple of very fun aceable holes.. Some holes that your can really test you distance without suffering bad results.. Not a course to be overlooked.. I plan on playing atleast once a month.

The carpet tee pads are not in the best shape.. One can get a little confused on next tee if he/she has never played there before. The course could have some really creative holes on the great plot of land it is located..

Solid 18 hole course in a nice park. Course has 2 sets of tees. Great map of course beside hole 1. Mostly open and longer mixed with a few shorter wooded holes. Many holes incorporate elevation. I like that every hole is different, including one elevated basket. There are numerous signs at the tee and around the course, arrows in the basket, big red numbers on the back of tee signs all help make navigation a breeze.

The two sets of tees are quite different. Red is shorter and makes for a fun round with lots of birdie opps, but still challenging. White is much more difficult adding length, tougher angles, and more elevation. Last time I played both in the same day the whites played nearly 1 shot tougher per hole for me. This course from the whites is one of the best in the Nashville area for giving distance throwers a chance to let it rip.

Being a city park, the grassy fairways consistently mowed short.

Carpet tee pads - this course is now several years old, and still has the same old carpet tees. Problem is they are really showing signs of weathered age. They look disgusting, have sunk into the ground, are lumpy, grass is growing over many of them, they are not uniform, etc. This is the most affluent county in TN, too bad some funds have not been put into some better tees. If you don't want concrete, they install nice turf tees. Williamson County parks should be ashamed of what these current tees look like. They are an eye-sore. Going back to natural tees would be a better option at this point.

Another thing aging is the tee signs. They are faded quite a bit now.

#18's basket is nowhere close to the parking lot, but you just follow the walking trail back towards the soccer building. Speaking of the walking trail- it runs near/across some holes, so you may have to wait for a minute for the path to clear.

#12 and #13 can be confusing depending on the layout. There are several basket options for #12 that can range from 300' to 700'which to me is too much difference for alternate hole locations. There are 3 tee options for #13 depending on where #12 basket is.

#15 basket placement was literally 2 feet in front of the thickest, nastiest disc eating jungle and surrounded by it on 3 sides. Nothing says fun like a conservative lay-up on what should be an awesome downhill 500' bag-emptying hole.

Redone from 9 holes to 18 holes due to an indoor soccer complex being built right on half of the course, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Parking at the soccer building.

Set on a beautiful rolling hills with some cleverly designed holes. Both Am and Pro tees.

The posted distances didn't feel right. Some of the open holes are TOO open.

There is a very cool legitimate Par 5.
