Challenging course thru the woods 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 29, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Every hole is different.
Plenty of shade in the summer.
Easy to navigate - plastic piping on basket pointing to next hole.
Good signage.
Challenging course that makes you think.
Located in a beautiful state park with other activities for the family.
Great Monkey Trap baskets.
No long walks between holes.

Cons:

17 tightly wooded holes can be a con to some.
No water shots.
Carpet tee pads.
1 & 18 throw across park roads. 11 has a hyzer route across a park road. Park road is not busy though.

Other Thoughts:

I thoroughly enjoy playing this course every time I get the chance. Birdies are available if you throw a perfect drive. If not, you need a good up shot to save par. This course will punish the high speed driver thrower. Disc down! Play it smart. Some of the longer holes require placement.

First time I played this course, I got lost after hole two and walked up the park road thinking it would be a great place for some holes. There are some open areas using the road as OB that remind me of a few holes at Mt. Airy Forest. With that being said, I believe this course has potential to be #1 in northern Alabama if there was 6 holes added: a 3 hole loop after hole 2 with the area I mentioned, and a 3 hole loop after hole 11 incorporating a water shot or two. There are currently no long walks between holes. So, if a long walk came about by adding some signature holes, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Awesome Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 30, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course is well layed out , with a little bit of everything (uphill,downhill,tightly wooded, more open holes) You definitely benefit from playing it smart and trying to play along the fairway. Also has some great views along the course.

Cons:

At the time I played there wasn't any tee pads signs, I'm sure since it's a newer course it's something they are planning to add .

Other Thoughts:

Overall a awesome Course that is very well layed out . If your in the surrounding areas you should definitely try this course out .

Outstanding 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 20, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great area for a course. The designers did a wonderful job of giving you some of everything. There is up, down, left, right and straight. This is a great course for those who enjoy woods and some elevation changes. Course is new, clean and easy to maneuver. Hats off to all who had a part in putting this together.

Cons:

None at this time. Will have to see how the course holds up in the wet months. Should be fine though.

Other Thoughts:

Congratulations to the State of Alabama Parks department for allowing this course to be built. Camping and disc golf go together. This is a match for all of us who do so. Thanks again.
