1) This course is moderately to heavily wooded at times while never being too overly demanding or punishing for those who wish to play it safe.

2) Balances the line of mostly open but demanding line shaping on early holes and slowly tightens the width and increases the demand for accuracy as you progress through the front 9, then repeats the process on the back 9.

3) Several VERY soft par 4's (Hole #2 is a 393 ft single turn left to right hole through a wide tunnel of trees, Hole #3 is a 389 ft split gap left fairway or right fairway back to a peninsula green. Great looking hole, and would be a super challenging Par 3. Hole #5 and Hole #6 both right at 400 feet, both low ceiling righty hyzer holes through some narrow tree gaps intended to make these "two shot" par 4's. And they are, but very easy to birdie as long as you don't go crazy trying to get the eagle. Hole #10 is only 348 ft and wide open until the green which is protected by a ton of large trees and a very low ceiling as it's only defense. Hole #18 is 431 ft and plays down a wide open fairway around one tree to beat on the right to a wide open green. BUT for a park course intended for lower level skilled players, this is perfect. It's definitely a step up from a beginner course, has the ability to frustrate rec and intermediate players, and is still "fun" enough for the very skilled, especially if you play everything as a Par 3.

4) Two very distinct separate 9's. The front 9 is much easier and starts and finishes next to the main parking lot. Then you have a long walk across the road to Hole #10 for a much tighter wooded back 9 that adds a pond water hazard and more extreme shot angles.

5) Holes 12-14 and 16 add some difficulty with a pond that has to be thrown over once and around the rest of the time. Helps break up the similarity of some holes and definitely sets the course above the beginner level.

6) Very solid use of multiple angles and distances. If there is a putter turnover shot on one hole, you can bet you will see that shape again in mid or fairway driver distance form later for instance.

7) Solid use of elevation, although there isn't a ton on the course, the design uses the subtle rises and falls along with the tree cover well to increase difficultly and create demanding shot shapes and touch.

8) As stated previously, the difficulty progression from Hole to Hole prepares you and eases you into slightly more demanding shots with slightly more increased difficulty. Smart design and it allows you to hone in your gap hitting early without being too punishing before asking you to hit the super tight gaps later on.

9) Really fun short little track that can be played pretty quickly, our group of 4 played it in 58 minutes recently but we were trying to beat the rain that did catch us on Hole 17. I'd say a normal round for a group of 4 could be played in roughly an hour and a half at most.

10) Cute park with a full on replica Eiffel Tower. The front 9 is much more manicured and "park" esque in it's layout with the back 9 being much more of a "rural" woods course feel. Kind of the best of both worlds.

1) This course is showing signs of it's age. Some of the tee pads are beginning to crack and become uneven, the course signage is outdated and dingy looking (though still has all the relevant info), the original lines are fading as trees have gotten much bigger and the underbrush is no longer kept cleaned up in spots.

2) The course lacks benches, bathrooms, water, and garbage cans (besides the one shelter house near the parking lot, which was locked when I last visited). This led to quite a bit of trash, mostly on the less well kept back 9.

3) There are a lot of blind tee shots (which isn't a bad thing from a difficulty perspective) but you will find yourself walking ahead quite a bit to locate pins and to see if the coast is clear (especially on the front 9 which has walking trails weaving throughout it).

4) The back 9 is "rough" and very thick off of the narrow fairways. Lost disc potential is great back there with the inclusion of the large pond. Keep an eye on everyone's shots.

5) Hole #12 is a particularly "bad" hole. You tee off through a gap of trees over the pond. Maybe only 100 feet of water that you are forced to carry. However, the first available landing zone is a 45 degree sloped bank maybe only 20 feet tall and 40 feet wide to try and land a disc on. The rest is a wall of trees. If you do manage to stick this spot, you have zero lines gaps or paths to the basket besides a wild spike hyzer back over the pond and around the trees. The 2nd landing zone is probably 250 feet of water carry and you have to crash through the tree to get back on land, and this spot is convienantly a picnic spot, maybe 30 feet in diameter with two picnic tables. This spot is blind from the tee and you are just hoping nobody is enjoying a snack by the pond if you try to land here. The third landing spot is the green. This requires a 375 ft water carry to a blind green, where you must crash through the trees and hope to hit a very small opening onto a walking trail to access the green. Then you are greeted with a basket raised probably 5 feet on a dirt mound. I'm completely certain that when this hole was designed, the tree cover was not this bad, the picnic area probably didn't exist, and there was a clear layout spot or go for the pin route. So not a bad hole initially, but a terrible one now.

6) No practice basket.

The very first time I played this course (after about 8 weeks of playing disc golf) I absolutely loathed this course because of how blatantly it (at the time) appeared to favor the right hand backhand and punish the RHFH and LHBH. This was long before I learned how to shape a disc.

Now, years later, I appreciate the course and the challenge it provides. While even with brand new tee signs, repaired tee pads, benches, bathrooms, and all the bells and whistles this course would never reach 4 or 4.5 status, the course is good for what it is, and could improve the experience disc golfers get from playing here by updating/repairing a few problem areas. There are much better courses in the area, but Eiffel Tower is definitely worth a play when you come through, if not just for the photo next to the replica Eiffel Tower.

This is a very challenging course by design. Most of the wooded holes have narrow lanes that require a variety of shots. Its in a nice area, with new bathrooms, and not far form for your favorite resturants.

This is the course I paly at least once a week for practice and is a good course, but it needs a lot of TLC. There narrow fariways have become ever smaller than desigend bc of grown out low hanging and broken limbs for storms. The open holes (5 of them) get mowed on a weekly basis, but the wooded holes, on the other hand, once or twice in the summer. The back 9 holes 12- 17 are in need of the most work. There are limited to no acutal fairways and tress blocking every throwing lane. Plus there are briars,saplings, and posin ivy growing abuntantly. The two worst holes on the front 9 are 5 & 6. They are on the very back side of the course and rarely get mowed so 3 ft tall weeds fill what little fairways provided. Not to mention the misquitoes on those holes are vicious. Do yourself a favor, If the weeds are tall just play four and walk over to 7 and save your self some trouble.

This is good course to play. If your from out of town then go ahead and try the full 18. If your a local looking to play or practice, then stick to holes 1-4, 7-11, & 18

****Sept 2011****
The back 9 is currently in decent shape since the playing of the tournament earlier this month. Still quiet a bit of underbrush and overhaning limbs, but there are clear lanes on most holes. Get out and play it while its good. This is the best the back 9 will be until next year at tournament time.

Great park with the front nine being a blast to play in and out of the woods...Hole one is a great start...tee pads and signs on the front nine all in great shape...and that's where it ends!

The back nine is hard...i mean really hard...several of the holes are not marked and there are literally no fairways..One hole shoots across the lake and has the potential to be one of the most scenic holes in the area but it's quickly ruined when you get to the other side and there is underbrush and really no safe place to land....hole 16 is absurd,...no fairway and little pine trees everywhere...there is no place to even think about getting a clean shot...if the back nine were cleared and marked then this course would be so much better.

I am thankful to Scott and Gary (2 Locals) who showed us around the back nine once we couldn't find hole 12 (no sign) this is really a fun course on the front nine and gets very very hard on the back...it has a ton of potential is really could be one of the best around.

*Updated review* (first played 1/2/09)

This 18 hole course offers a decent challenge with a great variety of holes and requires several types of shots. I enjoy a course with a mix of open and wooded holes as well as some water hazards thrown in and this one does not disappoint. There is also a good variety of hole length and a tiny bit of elevation, too. The concrete tees are excellent and baskets are in good shape.

Every hole is unique and offers its own challenges. Risk/reward comes to mind on many tees, and almost every hole there is a good chance you will gain or lose strokes against your opponent. There are several holes where you have to work hard for a 3 and feel good about it if you get one. Water hazards in the form of a creek on the front and a pond on the back do come into play. #12 across the pond is a nice over the water hole!

There is plenty of parking. Restrooms are available (and were open in winter!).

The first time I played here a couple years ago was when this course was new, and a big con was the fairways, but time and work has solved that problem, which is always good to see a course improve.

However, there are still some. The tee signs are the most obvious, though really nice (and it looks as if they are already on the second set), there has been much vandalism done to them, which is really too bad. Navigation is not too bad, and there is now a map at the kiosk, and a map on this site, but direction signs and better paths to lead first timers to the next tee could be helpful in a few spots. (Often times on the front the closest tee you see is not the next one.)

The park roads and walking path can get in the way on the front 9. There are some swampy areas on the back (I assume only after a rain.)

This course is really out the way to get to from anywhere.

I really like this course- it is not perfect, but the holes themselves make for a good round. However, for me it is just too far out of the way to play as often as I would like. I do recommend this course if you are in the area, or if you don't mind a little bit of a drive off of I-40 between Memphis and Nashville. (But most people are not going to be anywhere near this area.) Locals are lucky to have a course of this caliber.

Park at the mini Eiffel tower. (It is Paris!) Front 9 is a loop on one side of the road. Cross the road by #1's basket to get to the back 9.

After an initial short downhill 'Ace' possibility hole, the course turns and travels through woods. The fairways are clearly seen, and this is an entertaining course. Hole 12 features a carry over a sizeable lake, and hole 16 runs closely along its other bank. The back nine is definitely harder than the front, so be prepared when crossing the road. The parks department has continued to improve this course adding benches and other additions.

It's a very new course. The back nine hasn't received tons of play, so it's still a bit 'green'.

This course is my home course, and I'm very proud to have it in Paris. I would definitely recommend it.

Lost my xcliber in pond!

All in general the course is excellent I like a tuff course. The front 9 is a breeze. The first hole is seriously a teaser. Once you get to the back nine it is difficult, alot of time you couldn't see the pin until your second or third stroke or you have a fareway three feet wide next to water (hole 16).
