Good Family Park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is on the grounds of a sprawling park, with the Natural Science and Children's museums on the grounds as well. Not to mention picnic areas and a pretty awesome playground, it kind of made me wish I was 10 again so I could play on it.

Course is well marked with all concrete pads and easy direction. The baskets are newish and have bright yellow bands on top for easy spotting.

The course isn't too long or challenging but is Alford place for a fun relaxed round. The setting overall is pretty nice.

Cons:

It's a busy place, kids will pick up your disc, people lounge in fairways and don't seem to notice you might hit them.

It plays short, and not overly challenging, you don't even really need a driver. Would make a good spot for a superclass event though.

The teepads are the smallest I have ever seen and pretty much pointless except on the foot plant.

It's pay to play, bit just $3 for park access

Other Thoughts:

Like I said it's a fun place if you have a family take the kids I the museums and the throw a round.

The have a half decent disc selection at the gatehouse as well, all Innova when I was there but a buck or two under typical retail.

LeFleur's Bluff / Mayes Lake 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Front 9 - LeFleur's Bluff
-Well Marked tees and pins
-Scorecards in the office/guardhouse
-Good variety of inexpensive discs (office/guardhouse)
-Great Beginner course

Back 9 - Mayes Lake
-Several Birdie/Ace opportunities
-Entire back nine is shaded

Cons:

Front 9 - LeFleur's Bluff
-Park-goers have a tendency to chill out in the fairways.
-Very little elevation change.
-No benches & only 1 trash can, I think.
-Concrete tee pads are way too small.

Back 9 - Mayes Lake
-Flat, short, mosquitoes.

Other Thoughts:

This course needs some maintenance and updating. The baskets are old and love to reject discs. Hole #9 is gone... or at least it's not where it used to be, and I can't find it. The basket on Hole #16 has slid down it's pole and is on the ground (the chains are still O.K., so the hole is playable). They sell a decent variety of discs at good prices in the guardhouse where you pay $3 to get in. All in all, don't go out of your way to play this course, but if you're close by and want a quick 9 or 18 (17 w/ 9 missing) stop by and maybe run by the Mississippi Natural Science Muesuem.

updated 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 8, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I have played this course many times over the years b/c it is close. In the past it has been poor, but last year they cleaned out all of the brush around the back nine. It is much more desirable to play.

Cons:

The front nine is in a park and is wide-open. My friends and I usually play the back nine twice

Bluff 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 17, 2006 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy for a novice and when I say easy I mean EASY. Can be fun for advanced people on the front 9 for long ace runs. It's easily walked.

Cons:

Back 9 is not well marked due to a tornado coming through the area a few years ago. It really took out some baskets and tee signs. Hole 18 was smashed all the way to the ground. They put up a new 18 basket but it's still hard to find your way around back there. The last time I went they had clearcut EVERYTHING. Which made it far too easy. Watch out on Hole 2. Iv'e seen numerous people throw discs over the fence just to have them get in the pathway of cars. Heck one of my friends cracked some womans windshield one time.

Other Thoughts:

This was my first course to ever play. It was where I learned to play disc golf so I still have somewhat of a attachment to it. I still haven't played it in forever though being The Rez is only 3 miles from my house.

The front 9 are well marked. The Back 9 are not. The front 9 are open. The Back 9 are not. The front 9 have mid-range shots. The back 9 are all putter holes. The front 9 are pretty much straight. The back 9 are as well! (now don't vote saying this review was not helpful)

Fossil Peak 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 7, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good mix of open and wooded holes. Little pedestrian traffic generally exists in the park. Great signs on the back nine now. The back nine is fairly well manicured.

Campground has nice facilities like pavilion, restrooms, grills, picnic tables, playground for the kiddos, boat launch and beautiful lake for kayaking.

Cons:

Hole number 9 is gone. Back nine is disjoint from the front nine, and requires about a mile of driving. Bugs are very active, lots of mosquitoes. The back nine can flood after much rain.

Other Thoughts:

The front nine has an open layout with some trees. The front nine is set in the park near the museum. The back nine is a totally different course, which is cool. It's heavily wooded in the camp ground area. This course has Innova Discatcher baskets.

Due to the decline of the front nine, I like to just play through the back nine twice.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 15, 2007 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Good mix of long open holes with heavily wooded holes. Rarely crowded.

Cons:

You have to drive to the back 9 (less than 5 minutes). Very poorly maintained on the back nine. It costs $3 to park (inside state park). Some holes are not properly marked, but not too difficult to find where to go.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun course to play, but it is not maintained the way it should be. With only a little more effort, this could be a really nice course. It is recommended to play this course in the winter since the back nine is in the middle of the woods and it is not maintained there will be poison ivy everywhere in the summer.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 10, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

The front 9 at the main park are very open holes that reward distance. You get in the car and drive to another part of the park to play the back 9 holes. These holes go through a thickly wooded area that definitely rewards accuracy.

Cons:

Driving from the front 9 to back 9 is a pain. Also, some of the holes are not well marked.
