Pros:

Very nice city park course. The land is beautiful green grass mowed short with some trees and a pond in play at times. Essentials are good+ with super large concrete tees, excellent tee and next signage, and the standard yellow Discatcher.

Though mostly open, there are several holes more large tree park style, and a couple short tight woods holes, so decent variety in style. Hole length is very diverse from 185' to 700' and most everything in between. Mostly flat, but a few holes play slightly up or down.

I found it pretty easy to navigate, though having a pic of the map will eliminate some 1st time guessing.

Very few places other than the pond on 16 & 17 and the muddy watch ditch on hole 2 to lose discs as there is zero rough or thick stuff.

Hanging basket on 12 and landscaped basket on 18 aren't necessary, but were nice unique features.

Cons:

To me it just did not have superb interesting from 1-18, lots of open field throwing with little to no obstacles other than length and wind.

Holes 2-6 play close to each other and in/around a walking trail. 7 basket, 8, and 9 tee are all just a bit crammed into the same small area. Same for 15 basket and 16 tee- just closer than they should be.

I love the sand bunker look for 16, but be advised it was as hard as concrete. You might think you can land a disc in there and stick it, but a driver coming in there will likely and surprisingly hyzer skip off the surface and into the pond.

Ball fields in play on holes 12, 13, 16. Could be an issue if you sail a disc onto the outfield during a game.

Other Thoughts:

Playing here gave me a "ball golf" feel, and it looked to me like the land used for this park and course maybe used to be a golf course?

Interesting wood wall back stops on the short technical holes. Tempted me to ram a driver in there and maybe get a bounce back ace!

Being open, flat and in West TN, wind is likely to be a factor here.

I enjoyed this course, and would play here more than once if I lived in this area of the state. Great for working on distance and dealing with wind.

I have this course about a 2.75, but the large amounts of open field throwing and the proximity to so many walking trails and ball fields keep me from moving it past a 2.5 (Decent).

Nice park course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 18, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very good concrete tee pads and signs.
Easy to navigate; I especially liked the arrows pointing the way to the next tee, which seemed to be utilised for the first 6 or 7 holes.
Beautifully short grass everywhere; very little rough to contend with.
Some picturesque shots, including a nicely landscaped raised basket on 18.
For a new, developing player this would be a great place to learn - building up distance, different shot shapes, approaches, the intimidation of throwing over water... (which reminds me; I liked the provision of an alternative tee position for hole 17, which plays over water, allowing players who definitely don't have that distance a safer route to the basket without having to risk throwing away their plastic)

Cons:

Several very open holes which are just open-field blasts - holes 7 and 9, 12 (although it had a nice hanging basket), 13, 15, 16 (especially this one - 700ft of open space with the only point of interest being the lake behind/to the left of the basket). I don't want this to sound critical, as the course designer has worked well with the terrain on offer; however, if you play some true 3.5+ rated courses you'll see what variety is out there.

Other Thoughts:

Easy to find and plenty of parking.

A brand new course in NW Tennessee 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 30, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun course, there are enough trees to provide interest without causing consternation among novice players.
Awesome tee pads - very fine!
Well signed.
It would be difficult to lose a disc here (but I will probably manage it eventually).
Course flow is understandable.

Cons:

Hole 7 tees near road and was noisy when I played.

Other Thoughts:

I played a new course in the rain and found it to be a little muddy, there is no surprise there. As the course is played more and breaks in I think it will become a very fun course. This course is easy to get to and easy to play.
There is variety here.
This course is between two challenging courses: the very wooded Muse Park DGC in Jackson, TN and the strategically wooded Harrison Road DGC in Martin, TN. This course will provide an opportunity for local disc golfers to see a little sunshine and have a little fun that is not so intense.
