Perfect Course For Kids drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 1, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Absolutely perfect place to introduce new players to the game. Holes are generally 200' or less. You're not losing a disc here. And for parents wanting to get their young kids into the sport, I have a hard time believing there are very many better options anywhere in the country.

-Despite being short, many holes have unique and interesting hole shapes.
-Very pretty woodland setting.
-Course was very well maintained.
-Baskets and tee pads all in very good shape.
-Option to play a short (9 hole) or full (18 hole) loop.

Cons:

-It's really really short. There's just no way of getting around that. Bring your putter and a Zone and that is really all anyone would need.
-In a state park, so there is an entrance fee.

Other Thoughts:

Some courses are really well designed and maintained, but by their nature of being purpose-built it's hard to rate them highly. This is one of those courses. It was clearly designed for families and casual players, and it hit the mark perfectly. But it's also difficult to rate the course too high, given the course would lack replay value for the average player.

Pros:

A great warm up course for the other three courses at Farragut.
Very nice short game course, Great to take the young children.
Not many courses out there like this I love different

Cons:

A rather tame looking course might make you miss the Occasional gopher hole - watch you step.

Other Thoughts:

A day of disc golf a Farragut State Park, Wonderful place.
