I've been hearing about JP Mosely for years but it was the last of the classic Atlanta courses I had not played after playing for 10+ years.

What was once a classic mixed bomber/woods 18 is now a 36 hole beast adding two optional 9 loops that can be branched off near the pin for hole 1. The tone is set with a fantastic starting area with multiple practice baskets, what I assume is an original basket now used for decorative purposes and two pads from almost every tee.

The original 18 starts with some moderate distance somewhat wooded holes after 1, which is fairly long and open. And then opens up into some true bomber holes including some legit par 5s.

Then it goes back into some more mid distance wooded holes to close out the original 18.

The new 9 is long, wooded and has a sick water carry on hole 2. Some of these holes are pro tour quality and require two fantastic shots to birdie. I didn't play these super well the first time but I think I can do much better if I try again. Loved these holes.

The other 9 added have some cool holes, but are not dissimilar to the beginning holes of the original 18.

All have great disccatchers that are easy to see in the woods and catch well.

Pads are mainly long concrete but a few of the long pads are on the waking path which is good/bad in a way.

Signs are mostly accurate and look nice. Would love some more benches though the OG 18 has them many aren't by the tee and the new holes down all have them.

It's a busy multi purpose park with a busy walking path in the way of some holes, you will be waiting some.

As mentioned above some more benches on the new holes would be clutch as well.

A couple of spots it's somewhat easy to get turned around navigation wise.

It's a classic for a reason, and with the full 36 you can play all day and never repeat yourself. With the OG 18 from the short tees a newer player could play it without wanting to die, but any other layout combo I'd recommend intermediate or higher to have a good time.

A varied, scenic, and challenging 27-hole course.

-Amenities: Huge concrete tees on the back tees, with posts marking a mix of natural and concrete tees on the shorts. Signage with maps, distances, and par on the back tees. Plenty of benches. Mach III's are passable. Next tee signs where appropriate. Practice baskets.

-Multi-Tees/Pins: Holes range from 1-4 tees, and there are many holes with several pin positions (appropriately marked on signage--a flag on the left side of the sign means position A, middle position B, right position C). These provide good terraces of difficulty and variety for re-playing.

-Beauty: Moseley isn't jaw-dropping in the open, but the thickly wooded holes are entrancing. Beautiful Georgia scenery. A creek and a river come into play on occasion.

-Extra Hole Loops: After (2) you can play a three-hole loop leading to (3), and after (4) you can play a 6-hole loop leading to (5). This gives up to 9 extra holes, but aren't necessary to the course. They are all thickly wooded, with a couple on the 4A-F loop being really excellent.

-Variety: There's everything from a 150-foot tightly wooded putter shot downhill with creek just beyond the basket (4B) to a 1000-foot bomb through a straight fairway (13). Here's a taste of the variety: (1) is a par-4 playing gently right from open fields into a fairway and then a left pocket. (4D) is a heavily wooded 550-foot par-5 bending right and right to a green surrounded by downed tree branches/stumps. (9) is a 900-footer leading from a field, around a mando, and up a hill, with a water hazard and trees on both sides near the basket. (11) presents a 270-foot island shot (an artificial island, unfortunately). (12) is a split fairway into the woods on a left-to-right slope with a river 80 feet right of the basket. (15) is a dogleg left with an alternate pin position as a par-4.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: As you could guess from the variety, gameplay is excellent. There's a lot of work to be done with angles on this course, as it features many doglegs, some split fairways, gaps, and pocket greens. In comparison to other Atlanta courses, the woods section is almost as demanding as Little Mulberry or the Tracks, while the open section requires distance and finesse similar to Perkerson or the hard holes at Oregon. You'll need distance, precision, patience, and putting.

-Flow: Fairways are all clear. Navigation is very easy.

-Drainage: I played after several days of rain, and Moseley was completely fine except for one small squishy patch on (8). Figured I should mention this since it's usually only brought up as a con.

Moseley only suffers from nagging issues.

-Georgia: Means there's thick rough (disc loss is possible, especially if you roll away on (12)). Poison ivy and thorns, too. It'll be hot and humid during the summer. Also expect bugs (including ticks).

-Sequence: It feels like all of the woods holes are bunched up, then all of the wide open holes are bunched up. Ideally (13) would be a breathtaking tee sign ("1000 feet?!"), but honestly it felt old after playing the almost wide open (8), (9), (10), and (11). Similarly, the two bonus loops are almost entirely heavily wooded, so it's almost an entire course-length from (2) to (7) of trees and scrambles.

-More 4's? There's only one par-4, hole (1). Everything else is either a short or medium par-3 or a ginormous par-5 with cavernous fields. I'd like to see a little in between.

-Other Users: In the range of (8)-(13) you'll frequently have to stop for park-goers on the walking path.

-Length: I'm not taking off points, but if you play all 27 holes expect to be out here a long time, especially with three holes over 900 feet.

Moseley is a solidly excellent course. The only metro Atlanta course I have rated higher is Perkerson. The two are different for sure, but both have streams, elevation, scenery, and variety, and both are grueling. If you want to play 27 holes of great golf, check out JP Moseley.

If you're interested in more reviews, check out those on the old layout's page - I believe the only change was the addition of the two bonus loops. The old DGCR posting is here: https://www.dgcoursereview.co...se.php?id=862

(4.025 Rating) 27 holes of excellent disc golf.
- CHARACTER - I had a tough time deciding on where to begin as this is a great course through and through. IMO the equipment and extras is the most well-done aspect. The course has just about all the goodies. Big Concrete tees? Check. Multiple tees? Check. Alternate basket placements? Check. Benches? Check. Two practice baskets, brooms, extra holes, pin placement indicators, community board, trash cans and mid round shelters? Check, check, check, check, check, check and check. You can tell this course has a big following with great vibe too. I ended up joining a group on the last couple holes and struck up some great conversations.
- CHALLENGING - I attempted to play the longest 27 hole configuration, but I believe I missed at least one newer back tee in haste on hole (2) and I didn't finish to the far basket on (18) with sunset well past. From the longest set-up, I'm thinking that the layout is ideal for the lower Advanced level skill set. Players are going to need a full arsenal of shot types in addition to power and precision to average under par from the longest layout.
- UNIQUENESS - Excellent hole variety. 1000 foot bomber holes and twisting 200 footers. Big hyzers and big flick shots. Gaps to split, drives to place and even a couple small headwater creeks to be aware off. Despite all the play types, It didn't feel like any of the holes were iconic or epic. Rather, it's a steady diet of great gameplay.
- NAVIGATION - Not flawless, but really good. Oddly the course map was missing from the community board. There were a ton of navigational cues along the course, but there is some jumping around on the layout so first timers might still get turned around. For example, I played hole (3) before realizing I had skipped the (2a) to (2c) loop.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - There are lots of ways to amp up or amp down a round here. Most holes have two concrete tees and a couple even have three. There are a couple extra loops and also transition points where parts of the regular 18 can be shaved off if wanted to. This allows for a lot of combinations. Difficulty wise I'd say the hole (4a) to (4f) is more difficult than the (2a) to (2c) loop. It also seems the loop (9) to (13) is good place to shave off a lot of length if on a time crunch.
- RAW BEAUTY - There are some neat looking holes on this layout. I really liked the atmosphere on the wooded hole loop after hole (4), especially (4b), (4d), and (4f). Holes (8) and (9) are very scenic back to back par 5s. Overall I'd say the course is 75 to 80 percentile for beauty among all courses I've played to date.

Very little to complain about here.
- FAKE ISLAND HOLE - I've never been a fan of arbitrary OB, so when presented with a completely open shot with rocks in a field defining the OB, I just shook my head several times walking up to the tee. There's a frig'n 20 foot wide creek just about completely ignored a couple hundred feet to the right. I do not subtract rating points for design desecrations like this, but the hole looks like a turd. The rest of the course design wise I give two thumbs up.
- OVERGROWTH - I played in Winter, yea me, but you can tell that the overgrowth in spots likely gets brutal during the summer. There's probably poison Ivy too, although I don't subtract rating points for poisonous plants.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - For the above reason and the courses length, I could not recommend this course to beginners. Just too much skill required for newest of new players. The disc loss potential is likely higher than the average course and I could see the one disc players being forced to quit before they get halfway thru. All stated, I don't take off rating points because a course is not beginner friendly
- TIME PLAY - Figure 90 minutes minimum for a quick solo on an empty course. I also don't take off point for this.

I was oddly expecting to be underwhelmed strolling into J.P.. "No way" I thought, could a southeast Atlanta course be rated as well as metro area courses like Perkerson or Little Mulberry. Well I played it, and have personally concluded that they are all at a very similar level. J.P's biggest strength is its lack of weaknesses. It's such a solid course all away around. From eye pleasing lines, to solid hole variety, to intriguing challenges, to great equipment and extras. It's all here. On the flipside however, there aren't any "best of best" characteristics either. So although I've scored the course a 4.0, it's still not among the elite level Georgia courses, like Flyboy, Lula, Hobbs or the IDGC. Regardless, this is a must play course for those that live in the Atlanta area and those that live within two hours. Definitely worthy of a spin if traveling along I75 too, just be prepared for a longer than normal round.

- Course has a nice piece of land to work with and it takes advantage of that with a bunch of fun holes
- 27 holes and 2-3 tee pads on most holes, Im sure gives the locals a good amount of different options
- Tee signs, tee pads and baskets are all in good shape. Many holes had benches
- Small stream/creek gives several holes some water OB but still leaves your disc retrievable if you throw it in the water
- While there was no extreme elevation changes there was enough use of elevation to keep it interesting
- Many of the holes are on the shorter side, which is nice for amateurs like myself, but the longer holes usually had a par 4 or 5 which still made them scoreable
- The wooded terrain provides plenty of shade
- This course, like many in the Atlanta area, plays far enough off of the beaten path that makes you feel like you are really spending quality time outside and unplugged while never being too far from civilization

- Most of the 'extra 9 holes' are very similar, almost repetitive in that they are all heavily wooded, shorter hyzer shots. Fun, but somewhat repetitive
- While the course has many fun holes, it lacks a 'signature hole'
- There were alot of bugs on the course, which comes with the territory, but still has to be a Con
- I did have to wait several times for other park-goers and I was there during a weekday and I'd imagine that peak use times the park probably gets pretty crowded

Played the course once, but would have loved to play it a couple times and would be very happy to have JP Moseley as my home course. The local club has done a nice job.
Would definitely recommend playing here to DGers of any skill level in the ATL area

Fairways were clear, grass cut recently

Challenging enough for long time players and new players like myself

Some nice views, well laid out holes

A good mix of long open fairways for those who have big arms as well as some shorter, tight fairways in the woods that require controlled shots. I found more than a few trees and low hanging branches

On a few of holes the red tee pads were a little confusing or difficult/impossible to find (blue, gold, red tees for different experience levels) I was trying to play the reds but on a few holes I couldn't figure out where it was so we just played from blue/gold on those holes

Be careful on 12, a large creek runs beside the fairway and basket, I lost a disc to the water. Not really a "con" for the course as it does look nice, just something to be aware of for those of us still trying to figure out how to play.

We played the original 18 hole layout, I think next time I'll try to hit all 27 holes. Overall a great course close to my house, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area looking for a good, challenging course.

This course offers a great variety of teachnical holes and grip and rip holes. There are also a few mandos sprinkled throughout the course along with an island hole.
There is a place to sit at most holes and some also have small cabanas to offer coverage from the sun.
The course is in a beautiful park and also uses the park's stunning forest to create picturesque holes.

Signage was sometimes confusing pertaining to the location of the pen, but it could be solved by walking the fairway to find the pin's location.

Has practice basket

Has concrete tee pads

Has nice tee signs with alternate basket placements and indicators

Multiple basket placements on some holes

Has many benches throughout course

Has next tee signs posted throughout - easy to navigate

Good mix of open/wooded fairways with doglegs and some slight elevations

Challenging, long course with variety of pars

Well-maintained

Covered benches throughout the course

Free parking

Baskets are hard to locate on some holes - need flags or bright paint

Watch out for small, exposed tree stumps as they're easy to trip on the newer holes in the wooded areas

Walking path cuts through on some holes - one can expect some delays on a nice day

Long walk back to the parking lot after playing hole #27

Course can get crowded at times as it's popular with parkgoers and players

This is a nice challenging multi-use course in Henry County that is the only one with 27 holes in the Atlanta area. The old 18 hole layout was nice but the additional 9 holes makes it more complete to me. This course is pretty solid and will require a variety of shots to shoot a low score. I think the course can be improved by having more concrete tee pads for the weaker-armed players. A lot of work and TLC has been performed on this course in the past year so a big thanks to the Iocals for making it happen. This is definitely a course you'll want to stop by and play if you're in the area and have the time to play.
