(3.263 Rating) A picturesque wooded course boasting modest challenges.
- ROCKING BEAUTY - The Morristown Kiwanis course was blessed with some exotic terrain. Several fairways are blanketed with exposed limestone bedrock and it makes for some excellent photo opportunities. I would describe a handful of holes here as absolutely gorgeous. My favorite 3 holes were (9), (10) and (17), but it'll probably change tomorrow. The course was also extremely well maintained.
- AMENITIES - Like many HB Clark courses I've played, Kiwanis has knocked the basics out of the park. Big concrete tees. I want to say they were the HB standard 5 by 12s. The baskets are the perfect style for a woods course with the easy to spot yellow bands peaking through the foliage. Yea DISCatchers! The tee signs were also solid being HB's standard indestructible metal rectangle signs. The artistic description of the line is rather diagrammatic, but they were in great shape and easy to read.
- NAVIGATION - I thought the navigation and flow was decent to good. First off, a course map is posted between the parking lot and tee (1). Like the tee signs, they are a bit diagrammatic, but it'll work. The tee signs have next tee direction on them, but it often blends in with the pattern of the background trees. There are also a few directional arrows on the baskets and many of the transitions are intuitive. Despite all these aids, I still checked my map 4 times. So good navigation overall, but not perfect.
- SHOT SHAPING - Magicians will love this course. 75 percent of this course is heavily wooded. Some I thought were a touch too luck based, but the amount of fun I had running em kind-of canceled out much of the distain. Bombers that enjoy open courses will likely hate this course.
- HOLE VARIETY - I was 50/50 on whether to list the variety in the cons or pros. The course is definitely unique due to the rock element. However, in terms of play variety, it's rather one-dimensional being almost all technical woods play. The longest hole is shy of 350 feet. Players with big arms might never pull out the driver. Holes do seem to break both ways an even amount and there is some nice moderate elevation change to contend with. No water elements and no true multi-play hole for higher skilled players.

A solid technical course with only site related and preferential cons.
- MILD CHALLENGE - I was also 50/50 on whether to list the challenge in the cons or pros as well. I must have eaten my Wheaties this morning cause I started off super strong. I deuced five of the first six holes and supposably finished with a 9 down 49 as an Intermediate level player. Players will need to be precise and have a good scramble game to score well here. Being a long thrower will not be much of an advantage.
- PAR 4s - There are four listed par 4s here that will be an easy 3 to every skilled player. IMO, these four holes were the easiest four holes on the course in relation to par. However, if these holes were re-labled as par 3s, they would be the hardest four holes on the course. The hole lengths and line widths for the par 4s are sort-of in the anti-goldilocks' zone and just aren't good holes IMO. They should be either shortened or lengthened in my opinion.
- MULTI USE HAZARDS - A walking path comes into play on several holes and I personally had to stop briefly twice. I thought a couple times the oncoming paths were concealed a bit from tee view. I ran up the fairway a few times to check and make sure the path was clear before throwing.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - Due to the technical nature of the course, I would not recommend this course to newer players.
- TERRAIN - I found the terrain to be a big plus. However, for those with even a slight walking impairment or knee pain, they will likely need to skip this one. Players will constantly be walking along rocks and the ankles, knees and thighs are going to get a full work-out here.

I briefly favorited Morristown Kiwanis for two days, but I played nearby regional gems Tommy Schumpert and Fontana Dam on the same trip and thus decided to bump it out. I did really like this one though. The rocks added a lot of appeal and I found the gameplay to be generally rewarding. I haven't played too many courses like this one. Perhaps slightly like Seven Oaks in Nashville or a rock-less version of the Sinks in Nooga. Overall a tweener 3.25 course to me and it should be a fun stop for Novices through Intermediate level players. Too cupcake of a challenge for Advanced level types and above, but even some of these players may enjoy it for other reasons. Players that find themselves traveling along I81 should definitely consider checking it out.
- TIME PLAY - Average. 62 minutes solo for this quick player at the break of dawn.

- Indoor restrooms near the start of the course.
- Both holes 1 and 10 near the parking lot.
- Practice basket
- Technical course.
- Serves a variety of skill levels. Has something to offer for everyone from Chris Dickerson to a brand new player.
- The rocks make for some unique and fun visuals.
- Compact course, so it doesn't wear you out like some of the other area courses.
- A rough that punishes you in regards to your next shot, but without the long search for discs and getting slashed up by thorns.

- Sinkholes. They kind of spook me.
- There are a few places where the course intermingles with a walking path. Some of the holes are really close to each other, so you need to be very cognizant of that.
- The DISCatchers are functionally fine, but show some wear.
- If you care about par, some of the par 4's are really soft.
- The rocks are pretty hard on your discs. I wouldn't recommend testing a disc that you might not want to keep here.

I really enjoyed this course. I would choose it over Rotary. I love the old school feel.

To be honest, wasn't expecting a lot out for this course. The reviews were okay, but nothing said this was a 'must play' course. But within a few holes I was really grinning and digging the course. I personally think this is one of the very best courses to LEARN this game I've ever played.

It's not all that tricky, and with the lack of under brush, very forgiving. A new player should be able to shoot some respectable scores, Intermediate players shoot a few down and advanced players beat it like a drum. And that's what I like. The new player should be able to air out most of their drives and upshot for par. Intermediate and advanced should park most baskets. I'm of average power and even after coming off a grueling round at Harmon Hill, I was still able to park most of them.

But where this park comes into its own is with the new (not TRUE beginner, but someone's who's been playing a few months). I think the mix of right/left is about 55-45. So with the forgiving fairways, the newbie can start practicing forehands, working on long backhand drives. This will lead to somewhat challenging upshots. And that's what newbies need - a test that won't destroy them. And then as they progress, the birds start to fall and the confidence rise.

Another great feature of this course is the benches and picnic tables on all the holes (picnic on most holes). That can make for a really easy round of golf. Play a few holes, break out the cards and play some poker...win-win!

And this course is by far the easiest to navigate I think I've ever played. Stevie Wonder could navigate this one blindfolded and find his way around.

Also enough elevation to help build up a sweat.

Additional kudos to having this course being 2 9-hole loops. Always loved to be able to play a quick 9 and be back at the car.

Not many...this course is sandwiched between two sets of ball fields so people traipse between them, not really paying attention. I almost nailed a few folks who I didn't see.

And there a couple of holes they could have removed one more tree and made it much better. Hole 9 (over ravine) is a great hole except the stupid tree they left dead center halfway down. If they thought a tree made the hole tougher, should have left a dozen. That would have been REALLY tough! Take the tree out, move the basket far right/left and you have a signature hole. Now, I digged the rope leading down/up, that was a nice touch.

Same thing on 14 (I think). Y'all left a tree right off the tee pad , dead center of the fairway so you have to throw around it. Doesn't make it tougher, makes it stupidier (think that's a word). Take out the freaking tree and make a better basket placement. Not a bad hole, could be much better.

Lastly, lots and lots and lots of disc dinging rocks! Apparently a titanium buzz isn't as strong as titanium, despite the name. Had a few skips that dinged the crap out of it.

Great course to build your game on. Lefty holes, righty holes, uphill holes, downhill...the whole enchilada. Why not give it a 4 or better? Just not that difficult for experienced players. But a dang good course nonetheless.

This was the first time I ever played disc golf. Had a great time time. I think its an easy course.

Its sad that vandals cut the hand rail saftey ropes. Unfortunately this website does not like my review. Its too short. It doesn't want to post it.

Good Technical Course. The cedar trees are gorgeous. A few ace run holes are always fun. GPS took me right the the parking lot to hole one. Good signage and easy to find the next basket. There were trash cans at every tee pad and benches everywhere. Very well maintained.

It was pretty muddy when I played. I kept having to scrape mud off my boots. There were some construction areas that are eyesores now, but will be nice. I wish there were at least one long open hole to get a good rip on a disc.

Great course to visit while traveling through town.

This course is an excellent mix of technical right, left and straight shots through thin woods. The signs were very informative and navigation issues were the last thing i had to worry about. Seems to be a nice club going on there too as it turns out my playing time ran into their bi-montly singles match (which i participated in). This course is will be great with a little time if some specific things are fixed. Not a real big chance of loosing a disc.

Not as many open holes and also not as many elevation changes as i would like. To make this course excellent and in the four range it needs some longer shots as well as one or two more open holes. Not many memorable holes.

My 1st time playing this course i hit an ace on hole 16 with a champion beast with a little flick action. One of the only holes im sure to remember from this course as the years pass.

Long, flat concrete teepads. Excellent signs at each tee, showing distance to basket, best flight path, location of next tee.

The next teepads were relatively close to the previous basket, and the flow was so natural, even a first-time visitor could probably get by without a map (and there is a map available online).

Wooded course, but minimal chance to lose a disc, due to lack of underbrush.

Two nine-hole loops. Practice basket. Large map at start.

Favourite hole #12: About 200' across open space, then subtle right turn after going through an opening through the trees into a small clearing.

Not much - Single teepad/basket.

Wooded course with very fair and defined throwing paths. Excellent mixture - about 1/3rd straight, 2/3rd doglegs, half of those to the right, half to the left. The sharpness of the turns also varied - some fairly sharp about halfway through the flight, others more subtle but closer to the basket. No overly guarded nor overly open basket locations - an excellent blend of features.

Holes range in distance from just under 200' to 333', with an average of ~265'.

About ten minutes from I81.

If you find yourself at a fork after entering the "park", with a business to your right, soccer fields ahead, and a large gravel parking lot to your left, you're 1/2 mile too far north. Go find the main parking lot, or park here, and start at #15.

Very technical, well maintained, good flow, Nice signs, some challenging and fun holes.

only a few big ripping drives. shorter course. sink holes, caves and such.

This is a great course. A good mix of shots, and a lot of fun.

Clean well laid out 18 hole course. Easy navagation. New Discatchers, tee signs & huge concrete pads. Beautiful trees & rock formations throughout. Practice basket next to new kids playground area. New trash cans everywhere. Next tee direction markers. Paved parking with large course map sign at entrance.

No benches. There are a couple sink holes on hole #7. One is filled with water. One is debri filled. These should be filled in with dirt or cleaned out. They could use a couple alternate pin & pad placements. There is a cave on hole #13. It could use a safety fence guarding the top to keep people from walking over the edge by mistake.

Loved the course. Will hit it again soon!
