Magnolia Cove Disc Golf Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 4, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Multiple tee pads: Gold, Blue, White
-Nice, well kept, state park
-Scorecard and map available at entrance/guard house.
-Benches at several holes
-Minimal traffic (this one is a pro and con)

Cons:

-Park is not on the beaten path takes a little while to get there from the interstate
-Navigation is a bit difficult
-Not all tees are well marked; Blue and Gold especially
-Due to the 'Minimal Traffic' this course has not had the up-keep it needs

Other Thoughts:

There is potential here... but until this course has more regular players, I doubt anything will ever get done.

So...
Take a camping or fishing trip to Lake Lincoln State Park. It's a beautiful place and Wesson is a nice town with good friendly people... and maybe while you enjoy the scenery and hospitality of small town Mississippi you can take a little detour and play the Magnolia Cove Disc Golf Course.

a disc cource thats more like a nature trail 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well lets say it. It is a place to play disc golf at and that's the main thing going for it. You don't have to worry about any one being in the way from what I could see it looks like maybe 10 people have played it in the last 10 days. Witch that makes for a peaceful walk. I think this course offers serval tough shots with one tee complete surround magnolia trees I think there are 12 and 3 pipes blocking it. There are also serval 90 degree turns in those wood along with steep drops and tough climbs. Not to mention its on a lake but that wont come in to play unless you cannon it on 18 or the alt. 18 basket is in play where you have to throw over the marsh of the lake. With camping an fishin there are more thing to do other then play dg witch makes it a great family destination. I do plan on playing it again hopefully we can get more player on this beautiful forest course.

Cons:

Thou this course has great potential you can not over look the upkeep issue. I do think if more people played on the course it wouldn't look half as bad as it does. There where no trash cans along the path except by the picnickers and lake that is also where you want to find the bathroom too. The 17 basket was 10 feet from a picnic table that was occupied so I had to skip that hole. Also not many places to sit there are a few but most are at the oddest of places not even by the tees. But other then that no one will be in the way "I guess that's why there are so few benches.". The poor upkeep shows thru out the course there are serval trees laying across the path and watch out for the holes they will be covered by dead leaves. If you lose a disc you will find enough spider webs in the face to want to give up before finding the thorns. Some of the baskets where at mich match heights I don't think they are even concreted down. It was even a little hard to spot at times but maps are at the gate so be sure to grab one because most of the trails are not established enough.

Other Thoughts:

If more people played and loved this course it could easly be a 4.5 for any good player. Thou bring your A game and some old disc for this wooded nightmare.
