needs some love 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 8, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

ok little place if you can walk there. And decent for folks at the college to learn the game.

Cons:

I walked around confused the entire time and almost left a couple times even though you can pretty much see all the Baskets when you first drive in. It is because there are almost no markings for the T boxes at all. There looks like maybe there used to be some sort of markings for some but I never found anything for a few.

Other Thoughts:

With a little love it could be worth playing...

Convenient & Quick 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is conveniently located just off I-75 near Marietta and the Cobb Galleria area, which is a major employment/lodging center within the Atlanta area -- making this one of the most viable lunchtime courses around Atlanta. To that point, it's also a very quick play.

The course is in a decently nice setting with large pine trees, rolling hills and plenty of shade.

Not crowded, played at 12pm and nobody on/near the course except us.

Cons:

We had trouble figuring out where to park, and misplayed two holes even with the map in hand as the tee markers seem to have disappeared. Dirt tees, no tee signs, two holes where the basket you can see from the tee is not the correct hole ... so expect to misplay it.

The course is very short, making it appealing to raw beginners or a decent practice course. Most holes rack real fairways, with a few (e.g. hole 9) that are just throw and hope. Several safety issues with blind holes playing adjacent to walking paths that are on the RHBH side.

Other Thoughts:

This course serves it's purpose as a place for college students in the adjacent dorms to play. It would have been nice to see the land used better, but it's OK as is. I will be back for a quick lunchtime round, but only because it's the only place i can possibly play at lunchtime due to its location.

Do not go out of your way to play this course, you will be disappointed.

Southern Poly 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 14, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

The actual location of this course is one of the most convenient ones that I've ever played in the metro Atlanta area. It only took about three minutes to get to Southern Poly from I-75, and the campus was fairly easy to navigate. Therefore, you don't have to take a lengthy detour to get there if you're just passing through on your way to Atlanta or Chattanooga.
The course plays through the center of campus, and is pretty close to the dormitories. This is ideal for student use. You will definitely see students here, but every single person I met was helpful and extremely friendly. Some holes go across sidewalks, but nothing ridiculous. There are great signs warning pedestrians of flying discs, and the natives I met were surprisingly aware of their surroundings.
The course layout is simple, but most holes have a few trees in place that can prevent them from being all ace-runs. Hole one is a perfect example of this. There's an open fairway near the tee, but the hole is surrounded by large trees. Most of the holes are short, so this is a perfect course to work on your midrange and putter drives. There's a decent mix of downhill throws, uphill throws, hyzers, and anhyzers. I actually thought the land they were allowed to work with was a really cool area. There's a drainage basin on hole four that could possibly be considered a shot over the water if it's been raining a good bit, but it was dry when I was there and not really a factor. The baskets are currently new and catch great!

Cons:

Although the course does have tee box numbers on the ground like ball golf courses, they aren't always the easiest things to find if you don't have a map with you. You will DEFINITELY need to bring a map with you. The baskets don't have numbers on them, and it can be ridiculously confusing trying to figure out the course. Hole two looks like it's a long, straight shot to the basket, but it 's actually a blind hyzer shot (RHBH) around the corner of the building. It's really short and kind of ridiculous. I understand that they don't have tee signs, and that's not terrible, but that makes numbers on the baskets even more vital.
I was also pretty disappointed with the course layout. I thought a lot more could have been done with the land. Although the course does offer a diverse selection of shots, some of the fairways cross over one another, and some of the tees are too close to the previous baskets. These don't give the course a very nice flow. It's not a problem if you're the only group out there though, as I experienced.

Other Thoughts:

I can only see this course being a practice facility. It doesn't flow well enough or offer enough length or difficulty for any kind of competition. It's extremely convenient for students, but all visitors should definitely bring a map or find a guide. In the absence of numbers on the holes, someone definitely needs to use some tape to indicate the hole numbers for people without maps. I plan on doing this on my next trip through if someone doesn't beat me to it.
