This was the perfect rest stop on my trip through Nashville! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 17, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

What an excellent 10 hole course!
-Multiple Tee's and multiple pin placement
-Concrete Tee's, Wooden signs w/Maps and bag hangers, Course map at the start, Scorecards with Maps, and a huge letter A or B on the billboard identifying the Pin location.
-The Course makes use of a steep terrain, which allows for some great uphill, and downhill shots.
-The course is well maintained and clean
-No two holes play the same here. One open field distance drive. The rest of the course is in the woods.
-Paths through the woods, with signs that make navigation very easy here. The course plays back to the start.
-It is beginner friendly, but can be a fun course for even the advanced player. Some holes will bait you into a little over confidence.
-Beautiful scenery! The way this course weaves through the woods, and up the steep hills, really made an impression on me.
-Big Fun factor and still maintains itself as a challenging course.
-One hole is just under 500ft, coming in at 490ft. (Depending on the Pin Placement)
-Disc Golf course is segregated from the rest of the park. Ideally a player shouldn't run across other park attendees.
-The course was well designed, with excellent pin placement. The course also maximized the use of the land it was given.

FWIW: Located in a park, with playground equipment nearby, so if you are traveling as a family, one spouse can watch the kids, while the other plays.

Cons:

-The course can get sloppy after a rain, due to the nature of the steep hills one must climb.
-I forgot about one thing, there are paths on the course which cross a few fairways. There are signs giving one the heads up, and they do allow for access to your car or the bathroom if needed.
In my opinion, the cons here are minimal. Especially since this is a 10 hole course.

Other Thoughts:

You will be doing a lot of hill climbing, so you may want to consider your footwear when playing here. A variety of shots are used here, having a little finesse will always help the cause. Don't underestimate it, or write it off because it's just 10 holes. Believe me when I say Liberty Park is well worth your time.

There is potential for this course to become an 18 hole course, but it wouldn't surprise me if this was all the land that they were allowed to use, or some other factor halted expansion. Whatever the reasons, someone has done an excellent job in utilizing the land they were given.

I didn't have 2 hours to allow for a full 18 hole course. Which made this course a perfect place to play. I was able to stop on my trip, not rush through the course, enjoy my game, take in the surroundings, and be back on my way in less than an hour.

If you are traveling through Nashville, or you are just looking for a quick round, then Liberty Park is the perfect answer. It's about 5 minutes off the interstate, quick, convenient, and you can be right back on the road.

Directions note: I really had no trouble finding Liberty Park. If you are on I65, then exit at McEwen, and go East. Follow it until the road dead-ends, you will see turning wheel drive and the park on the right. The directions on the course page will lead you right to the course. I had no trouble finding the course. Look for the steep gravel road that goes into the parking lot on the right.

Left me wanting more...holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 22, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Long and short concrete tee pads and multiple basket positions. Easy course to navigate with no confusion. Very good signs. Everything is new, and in great condition. The course is in a fairly large park with trails, grills, playgrounds, ballfields, etc. It is all very nice and well-kept. Not huge elevation, but this course uses what there is very well. Course is mostly wooded, but the underbrush is cleared nicely, and the fairways are well mulched. Just a very nice, clean course. Benches and posts with hooks for bags everywhere. Good mix of uphill, downhill and level shots.

Cons:

Only 10 holes. Everything is so clean and nice, it would be great if this was a full 18 hole course. Throw in an additional 8 holes with a few unique, or really challenging holes, and this course could be great. Not a super-challenging course. May be too simple for advanced/experienced players.

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this course even though it is short and sweet. This would be a good place to practice putter rounds or discing down techniques. With so many good courses in the Nashville area this could be a good place to go practice and avoid the crowds. Definitely worth a quick round if you are in the area.

foodstamp nailed it 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 12, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course has all the little extra's to give it an "executive" feel for a "10" hole. Bag hangs,water fountain, scorecards, trash bins...etc... GREAT signage! But Johnny Foodstamp nailed it. This is a 20 hole course. The supposive "am" tee's are harder than the pro in most places. A newby would have no chance of getting to the basket safely, as there is no real clear shot to them. This course does have a lot of variety actually, those being elevation shots. In the nashville area these are the more upward or downward elevation shots around. So if your a big sweaty disc golfer bring some water! Your calves are gonna hurt ya'. I had a good time.

Cons:

Only one open shot. It is hole 3. The rest of the course is so left, right, up. down, that it didnt bother me too much. I had fun with the skill shots, more finesse' less muscle. It is if cedar hill and mundy park had a rich well taken care of baby.

Other Thoughts:

Kinda hard to find. Lots of circle's happened :) But there were some friendly deer hanging out in the park to welcome us and get us going.

Excellent 20 hole course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 16, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice signage and baskets. Course is in excellent shape and very easy to navigate. Nice scorecards and little disc golf pencils at the entrance to hole 1 in the mailbox on the big sign. Port-a-Potty and water fountains by the parking lot.

Cons:

Expect to get lost in a few suburban roundabouts and subdivisions if you don't have a GPS. Quite hilly and repetitive.

Other Thoughts:

Quote from the back of the scorecard, "Play the first round on the RED TEE then play again off the WHITE TEE." We did this backwards thinking that the white tees were Pro and the red were Am (we wanted to play Pro first). I now believe in retrospect that this is a 20 hole course. This conclusion is also backed up by the fact that the red tees are not easier, just closer, and at a different angle than the white. The white tees have a much clearer shot, it's just a bit longer. Also, the A and B position changes for all the baskets by the month! I will play this as a 20 hole course from now on. Had a great time!

Very Wooded, Very Technical 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a great course to build accuracy and get used to making high pressure drives and apporaches. The T's are concrete and in good shape, and the baskets do a good job of catching most shots without much bounce out.

Cons:

There isn't a lot of variety here. There are a few longer holes, but they do not offer much of a chance to rip a long drive due to a narrow field or a ton of trees. The course also really punishes bad and even just less than perfect shots. I have nearly lost several discs on fairly good throws.

Other Thoughts:

When playing this course, I would advise that you wear a hat and jeans. I have found ticks on me several times after playing this course. There is thick brush if you stray too far off of the trail, and I have come accross several snakes. Be careful out there!

On the verge... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 20, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Liberty Park is a younger course. Since the baskets are new, they are in good condition. Concrete tees at both Red and White boxes are even and uncracked. Benches and bag-racks at every hole add some flair. As for the design, it was really good for 10 holes. There are multiple hills with elevation changes; some are very tough. You will need to be able to "work" your discs pretty well in order to shoot a good round at Liberty. The fairways are very well-defined and mostly mulched. Paths are indicated to the next tee box. In short, this course was designed and planted with elements that most courses incorporate as they "season". Liberty already has many amenities.

Cons:

I think that there is the opportunity to expand the course. I am not on the Parks Board or anything, but it seems like the park has ample land to expand this course. I list this only as a con because I think 18 holes would improve the overall course flow. While the two sets of tees each present different angles, the major design elements are the same. For instance, hole 9 is a long tunnel S-Curve....from both the white and the red.

Other Thoughts:

I am giving this course the rating of a 3 because it is a "good" course, but I feel there is more potential. You can play from each set of tees (as we did today) in order to get in 20 holes. But like I said earlier, while the angles may change, the elevation elements and basket placement are the same. Liberty's basket placemets offer excellent risk/reward opportunities. Blow-by putts are often punished. In my opinion, this course is worth a stop if you're in the area. It is an excellent compliment to Crockett Park which is more open and long. Liberty requires more finesse and accuracy. Since they are only 5 miles apart, it makes for a well-rounded day of disc golf if you can play both.

Give Me Liberty... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 14, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a technical woods course with lots of elevation. The course is on land dedicated to disc golf. Even though there are only 10 holes, there are 2 sets of tees. The red tees are shorter, the white tees are longer but not necessarily easier, as the tees are placed so you have different looks and lines to the basket. This factor makes this course play almost like 20 holes! There are 2 possible basket locations for each hole as well- A and B, which are indicated by a marker on each tee sign post. I really like that A is not always longer than B on a given hole. This avoids the course being either long or short, but makes a nice average distance regardless of set-up.

There are informative tee signs at both sets of tees which include a hole map and distances to both hole locations. They are also very nicely done. They are made of two layers of plastic with the map and info etched out of the top layer giving a nice 3-D effect. Nice touches include 1) the map on the kiosk and 2) the super nice color scorecards/map. Navigation is a breeze with clear paths that are very well marked. Also nice are the tees pads which are concrete and level despite all the elevation.

The holes mainly play in the woods up and down the hillside with just one hole open and flat, but that one plays along a creek. Each hole does have a fairway (most have been mulched and lined with logs) and at least one path to the basket- some are narrow, but none are impossible. There is a nice variety of up and down, but at different degrees of steepness. Some holes are straight, some go left, and some go right. Though no holes are super long, there is a pretty good variation in distance from hole to hole which is reinforced by the elevation and alternate set of tees.

Cons:

I recently played this course for the first time in summer conditions and the rough is thick and there is lots of it. The fairways are very narrow as the foliage seemed to be taking over and finding discs was difficult, plus there were lots of ticks. Course could use a good work day and some weedeaters. (I happen to prefer this course in the winter.)

There are lots of extra signs on the course, but other than the tee signs and kiosk, the rest are just printed paper in protective sleeves. Permanent wooden/plastic signs would be a nice touch.

It is too bad there are only 10 holes. If 8 more could someday be added at the quality of the other 10 (and there appears to be room) then this could be a fantastic course.

Other Thoughts:

This is not your typical <18 hole course- it is much better. It is one of the best "9-hole courses" out there! One really nice thing about this course is that all the people involved in getting it ready for play did a really nice job of planning. The public was not allowed to play this course before it was completed (some courses open with just baskets... and then the fairways, concrete tees, navigational aids, etc. come later, but not here), and doing it this way was well worth the wait for us locals!

Couple this course with nearby Crockett Park which is only a couple of miles away for a super day of disc golf.

Excellent course to test your accuracy!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 27, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Love this course!! Nice concrete tee pads and place to hang your bag on every hole! A nice wooded course that is very hilly and will not only test your accuracy but will also give you a workout. Having the red and white tees is like having 20 holes cause the shots are so different. Hole 3 is the only open hole but you still have to be very accurate because of the creek on the left. There are 2 basket positions for each hole that change every few months. Another plus of this course is the box on the course map at entrance that always has a supply of score cards and pencils for the course!

Cons:

The only con would be the lack of more holes to play but having well placed white tees along with the reds really helps.

Other Thoughts:

This course is kept up nice with well defined mulched fairways and paths. There are several benches throughout too for when those feet get tired from the up/down hilly walking. Play this course and you won't be dissapointed!

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 19, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is definitely one of my favorite courses. It's a very beautiful little course. I've only played 4 times, but I haven't had any problems with it being crowded. In fact, I've only seen a couple people out there.

This course has red and white tee pads along with A and B pin positions that I think are moved every month. The main sign at the beginning of the course tells you which position is in current use.

This course has awesome signs, benches, trash cans, and places for you to hang your bag on every hole. The fairways are all mulched except for the one open hole, so footing isn't a problem here.

I didn't feel like any of the holes were repetitious, and I had to use a lot of different shots.

Probably what I enjoyed the most was the type of disc selection I had to choose. Because this is a shorter, wooded course, I only brought 1 driver, 3 mids, and 3 putters. You definitely need overstable and understable putters and mids.

The baskets are huge!

Cons:

If you stray from the fairway, watch out for thorns. They are everywhere and some look lethal.

It's has gotten a lot cooler around here, so I didn't have to deal with any bugs. There is a sign at the beginning warning about them.

Other Thoughts:

I realize it's a 10 hole course, but the reason I gave it a 4 is because of the multiple tee pads. The designer did an excellent job of making each tee pad a different type of shot. Only on the open hole was the angle the same. So I don't feel like I'm repeating a hole when I play both tees, which means 20 holes.

I think beginners could have fun at this course, especially when the basket is in the B (shorter) position. It teaches accuracy, careful planning of each shot, and the value of playing for a 3 instead of playing for a 2 and getting a 6 (I'm still learning this).

Amazing facilities but just "alright" course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 3, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Outstanding facilities for new disc golfers - concrete tee pads - pars and maps at every hole - pro and am tee pads - very clean and kept up - difficult to lose discs - can play the whole course with a putter and/or midrange

Cons:

Way too many left-handed shots - Way too many uphill shots - While playing the course, you can easily walk into other people in the middle of throwing- overlapping holes -

Other Thoughts:

The course is sub-par but the facilities are perfect. I took pictures of the facilities to show my home club members how to improve our course. There's a big map showing all of the holes and pars at the very beginning. The map even says what the basket placements are(A or B). Each hole has a map with pars too. The tee pads are perfect and the course is kept up.

But what the course has in facilities, it does not have in originality or innovative course design. The holes overlap one another providing the opportunity to smash a fellow disc golfer in the face with a disc.

For some reason, there are a lot of left-handed and uphill shots. There's not much of a variety in shots. Better course design is much needed.

Despite my comments, it's a fun little beginner course. I introduced my cousin to the glory of disc golf there and I'll probably throw it again if I'm in Franklin.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 16, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

This ten hole course is set in a beautiful, well kept park. There are elevation changes on most holes. Every hole has dual pads and two pin locations. The sign at the entrance of the course tells you if the pins are in the A or B location, this helped me out a lot. The signage here is excellent. All the pads are concrete and the area around many of the pads is built up since a lot of the holes play on a hill. They also have benches in a lot of places and posts to hang you bag.

The course itself is really nice. All but one of the holes are completely in the woods, but there was little under brush. The fairways were mulched and lined making the course look great and navigation even easier.

Cons:

There really isn't much I could find about the course I didn't like. The biggest con for me was a couple of the holes or pin locations seemed extraordinarily difficult. One hole more than half way through was a really tough turnover from the long pad that seemed more lucky to me. I was glad another hole (maybe 8 or 9?) was in the B position, because the A position was another 100 feet and the fairway got extremely narrow. Of course it's possible they're still working on some of the alternate positions, I'm not sure.

I hope this course is expanded to 18 holes in the future.

Other Thoughts:

A lot of time and effort has been put into this course and it shows. Some of the lines can be pretty tight so a new player might be a little frustrated here, but on the other hand this course could help teach accuracy. An advanced player should find a nice mix of birdie opportunities and a few more challenging holes.

This is the highest I've rated a course with less than 18 holes, and it deserves it. The course is just minutes off I-65 and is worth checking out if you're passing through.

Pros:

great maintenance, good baskets, tee pads, benches and places to hang up your bags. there ire good shots for every one only shots that ar not really needed is hizer thumbers rollers and tomahawks. all of the holes are short enough that even ams will have a good time, your big arms dont just dominate the course, the people that would dominate are the people that are precise and have a verity of throws.

Cons:

BUGS BUGS and more BUGS. bring you bug spray, by the time i left there i had a million mosquito bites and they say earlier in the year the tics are bad but i went late enough they werent a factor. the only other thing i didnt like about the course is the fairways are layed out in mulch which is slick and tends to roll under you feet.

Other Thoughts:

over all a good course 10 holes with 2 tee pads per hole. if i had to guess if they host tournaments out there it will be a split round where you play all ten holes from the red pad then all ten from the white pad for a combined total for 1 round.

Liberty Park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 25, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a very fun and challenging course. At this point it offers 10 holes that are primarily wooded with some great elevation changes. The fairways, though tight at times, are quite fair but accuracy and finesse are both needed to score well. Also, a little luck and some tree love will certainly be well received. The course itself flows pretty well and the designers did a great job keeping the holes diversified enough so you don't feel like you are playing the same hole over and over. Two concrete tee pads from each hole also help the variety. You practically end up with twenty different holes if played through twice employing both pads. There are multiple pin placements as well. Speaking of the pins, they are Innova Discatchers. The fairways have been cleared out really well and the trees and debris that were removed were ground into mulch and spread around and really define the fairways beautifully. Not only is it attractive but it serves its purpose really well.

You will find many other amenities here as well. Great signs including tee signs with maps of the fairway, next tee signs, and warning signs if crossing in front of a long pad to get to the shorter pads where needed. Also there is a large sign at the entrance with an overview of the course and indicates what placement the pins are in. You will also find benches, trash cans, and places to hang you bag, it's all here.

Holes one and ten both start and finish near a generous gravel parking lot. Portable toilets are close by too. Getting to the course is convenient from I-65. Crockett Park, which is another good course, is also pretty close if you are planning on a disc golf day.

Cons:

As I mentioned this is a great ten hole course but eighteen holes would make this a super course. There are some areas that still need to be beat in a little, especially near a few of the baskets. An example would be a few knee high, thick areas fifteen or so feet from the basket. Time will cure this and by next year should iron itself out.

Other Thoughts:

I applaud The Franklin City Parks Department for installing this course. They didn't seem to pinch pennies on this one and it shows. Most of the material and labor was provided by the city. They are open to the idea of consulting with locals (Williamson County Disc golf Club) and I understand they are looking for other city parks to install baskets in. Let's hope they do!

Liberty Park is a great course and well worth the effort to play. Enjoy.

Nice course, wish it was 18! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 11, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Liberty Park is a wooded course with lots of elevation and great signage. Finding the park is easy - just one mile off the interstate. There are several parking lots, with a gravel one closest to the entrance. A large course map is posted at the entrance to the park. Looking at the map, there are many variations for each of the 10 holes.

With multiple teepads on all 10 holes, and the multiple pin positions - it easily the best 9/10 hole course I've ever played. The teepads are all very nice, but do not allow a long run-up. The course designers did a good job to make sure all the teepads were level, even on the side of the hill. No real thick underbrush like other local courses. The baskets are discatchers.

Cons:

There were a few spots where the walking path would cross fairways. This was well marked, so its not a huge issue.

Relatively new course manicuring problems. Most of it will be fixed just from getting more play.

Other Thoughts:

The first two holes play downhill through the woods. #3 is the only hole on level ground - playing 500+ feet along the edge of a creek. Holes 4 through 7 play up and down a very steep hill with tight fairways. Depending on the teepad you play from, there are some very tough shots to pull off. #8, #9 and #10 play back at the top of the hill, close to the parking lot.

One of the best reasons to play this course is that it is only 10 minutes from Crockett Park in Brentwood. This is a very solid 10 hole course, but it could be much better with an additional 8 holes. I'm not sure if an expansion is planned, but there seems to be additional space at this course near the top of the hill.

Liberty Park is different than most of the other Nashville area courses because of the elevation. Barfield Crescent, or Mastin Lake in Huntsville are two similar kind of courses.

Great new course--can't wait until it grows up 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 10, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Excellent signage
Great directional signs
Signs to warn you if a walking path is going to intersect a throwing area
Very intuitive course
Big sign at the beginning telling you what placement (A or B) all the baskets are currently located
Benches at every tee
Bag hangers at every tee
Garbage cans at every tee
Excellent tee pads
Dual tee pads at every hole that provide very different experiences
Two basket palcements on every hole (It was the "A" placement the day I played--overall they seem to be the further of the two)
Extremely well manicured
Great baskets with seemingly extra deep baskets
Awesome use of available space--hole 10 (the last hole) drops you off right back at the parking lot
Very well designed and thought out--whoever designed this course has paid attention to flaws in other courses and really thought though the details
No redunancy on holes
Very challenging layout that causes you to use strategy and every throw in your arsenal
Nice and technical but very defined paths (usually a couple) on each hole
Great elevation changes
Superb risk and reward factor

Cons:

Only 10 holes--only a con because I would love at least 18 holes done as well as the 10 that are there. I'm sure it is a factor out of the control of the designers.
Some holes are not super long from the red tees (the short ones) but still very challenging due to the technical nature of the course

Other Thoughts:

This course is well worth seeking out.
If you like super technical courses that demand excellent strategy and spot on execution, you will love this course and be sad that there are only 10 holes. (but it plays so quickly that 2 or 3 rounds can easily be played in a short amount of time)

Certain people may be frustrated with this course because it is in no way, shape or form catering to big arm folks and people who have the ability to bomb the sweeping 400-600 foot drives.
If you are a more open course player, this course would be great for you to play because, even though it is very punishing if you stray off the fairway there is little or no chance that you will lose a disc in the process.
Total beginners could be a tad frustrated, but I know from experience that cutting your teeth on technical courses like this will cause your up-game/approach game to be fine tuned in a way that will help on any course and the way you are forced to think through shots will ultimately help you on all courses--so don't shy away from this course if you live in the area

Hills, hills and more hills 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nice looking course with good signage and multiple walking paths to the tee boxes. It is a very challenging course, possibly one of the harder courses in Nashville (mainly because you'll be too tired to throw after climbing all of those mountains). They have nice areas on each tee pad for hanging multiple bags and there are reflectors on the trees showing you the fairways. This is a very unforgiving course, get off the fairway and you game will go downhill very quickly. Lots of risk reward here.

Cons:

Too many steep - VERY steep hills which makes the playable for this course somewhat unacceptable. That would be the number 1 complaint from everyone who plays this course past hole #5.

Other Thoughts:

I've been looking forward for this course to open for a long time now but had never been out to see what the course even looked like. It is nothing like I had expected. I would much rather play Crockett Park in Brentwood. If you want to score well on this course I would recommend having a midrange finesse game. I finally figured out that some of these downhill shots do not require a driver but a smooth midrange floating technique. Let it sail because the fairways are so tight that if you end up in the woods on one side or the other you are most likely looking at a bogey.

Got in a bit early 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has some great shots. It is very well maintained (of course it opens officially in a week). Almost the entire time you are going to be on mulch, which should make for much easier travel instead of wet slick grass on the steep hills. This course is also a good workout if you are interested. Dual tee placements (red and white) make for a 10 hole course to feel more like 20.

Cons:

The course is hilly, I can not stress that enough. Steep drops during tight straight drives can be aggravating, not to mention the uphill shots. The course is placed very obviously on the side of a rather steep hill. The mulch when I was there was very think and almost fluffy, for lack of a better word. This made walking much more difficult, but again, as soon as this course opens and people start walking on it the mulch should get flattened out. Did I mention this course is tight? Beware!

Other Thoughts:

I only threw through the first 6 holes (out of 10) before park employees informed us we were not allowed to be there, but from what I could tell the course was all wooded hills with tight corridors. There was one fairly open and flat drive (hole 3 I believe), if woods and hills are your thing, enjoy!
