Well Kept, Fun Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 3, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tee-pads and elevated wood tee-pads on a couple of holes.

Course is very well maintained. It is summer right now and the brush is quite manageable.

Variety of shots, with some subtle elevation on many of the holes.

Many holes throw towards the lake/pond and distance control is required.

Baskets are well placed, many seem straight forward until you realize that you really have to maneuver around some late trees to have a legit birdie look.

Cons:

Couple of holes are quite short and seem squeezed in.

Can get busy on the weekends with people fishing and just strolling around the lake/pond.

Not all that punishing if you are not precise of the tee.

Not much distance or wide-open shots.

Other Thoughts:

Quite a nice course that I think plays well to both new players and more advanced players.

There is water that you throw over on a couple of holes but really is not much of an issue if you choose to play a conservative shot.

Very fun course, will become my homebase.

Mathews Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 5, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Has practice basket

Has 16 concrete tee pads and 2 elevated wooden tee pads for holes #8&14

Has nice tee signs with most indicating basket placements

Has next tee signs

Multiple basket placements on almost half of the course

Good mix of wooded and open fairways with some elevations

Most of the holes are under shade where this can be really appreciated in the hot and humid summers

Well-maintained

Restrooms

Free parking

Cons:

Course design and flow could use improvement as there are long walks between holes 5&6 and 15&16

Has water where you have to drive over - hole #15 is the riskiest to lose a disc

Course can get crowded at times as it's popular with parkgoers and players

Other Thoughts:

This is a nice multi-use course in Walton County that I enjoyed playing. Since my first visit in December 2015, this course has really improved since the addition of concrete tee pads, new tee signs, and I suppose more alternate basket placements in 2016. I think the course makes the best of its limited land with all the uphills and downhills and the use of the lake. The lake does seem to be a popular attraction here as there were people fishing around holes #5 and #15 when I played. The pavilion near hole #1 was crowded with some cars parked in the hole #18 fairway...so one might consider playing during off-peak hours to avoid this. Hole #16 can present challenges if cars are parked in the lot on the left of the fairway. There are some short holes here but you'll need the control to get that birdie. I want to thank the local disc golf club for their hard work and TLC to make this course more enjoyable to play now.

Mathews is where its at right now 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 12, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great mix of long and short holes. New concrete pads and tee signs installed this year. including a drop pad for 15 a shot over the water. The local club has put in a lot of work clearing out brush and trees opening up a lot of different lines.
Even mix of lefty to righty holes. Which for me is big plus being that Im left handed.

Cons:

The center piece of this course is the lake. makes for beautiful sights and interesting shots. This does lead to holes around the lake being wet and muddy. Mostly after a good rain. the park is not very big which means locals coming to the park to enjoy the weather are often hanging out in the middle of the course during a round.

Other Thoughts:

In the past Mathews wasn't much of a disc golf course. Few even knew this course was even here. The WCDG is the local club and calls Mathews their home. They have done a great job in cleaning up the course, adding concrete pads and new Tee signs and building up buzz around the community with lots of support from the county. Mathews is where its at right now. Lots of event have already been had with many more to come. DUBs every WED at 5:30 during daylight savings. keep a look out for glow rounds during the summer.
Come out and see the new Mathews
