Pros:
The course sits in a multi use park with ball fields , a soccer field and cement walking path and some picnic tables and shelter above the parking lot . There are 7 baskets here , 2-6 with concrete pads and there are faded but readable signs for 2-6 . There , Done with the pros .
Cons:
Starting with ,,,,, #1 . Missing holes . I hate courses , especially 9 hole ones , that can't even keep the holes that they have . Typically a sign that no one cares . #1 is missing and apparently was claimed by a ball field , so now you can play Where's Waldo and find #2 without seeing #1 ( Hint; It's in the woods behind the fields ) I did not see the 9th hole , either . Which points me to #2. Navigation , no kiosk , and no online map . Once you find #2 , you can easily go from 2-6 , and there is some type of line on the cement leading to an uphill basket . Could that be number 7 ? Let's get an archaeologist to interpret it for us . No other lines for the basket on the hill near the shelter . Just safari it from 2 angles and call it a day. #3 It's a shame that good metal and cement was wasted on this course . Short concrete tees, and baskets listed as Instep but upon a closer look , I think it said Unstable. The cheapest baskets that I have seen in ages barely hold your putt ( I use a Blowfly on this single chain crap) . #4 Safety . little ones and their parents may be at the ball fields and stray a little ways from it . Also walking path joggers and dog walkers . Be careful when throwing , especially # 6 & 7 . #5 , The Walks . parking where you think the course is and actually where the course is are 2 different places . You will have a hike to #2 and From #8 . There is a creek bed with rocks by 6 & 7 , but no water in it . Disc risk depends on how you judge it . Chucking your drive over the barbed wire fence line near holes 4 and 6 might be a lost one. . Holes #2-5 are going to be a muddy mess after a good rain .
Other Thoughts:
This course has no appealing value or looks . I couldn't imagine coming here to throw a hole or 2 even if my kids had ball practice in the field right beside it . They say that you appreciate other courses more when you have terrible course like this one to suffer through . I would say to pull the course and put the baskets elsewhere , but the baskets are one of the worst features. Maybe melt them down and make a ball bat or 2 for the knothole kids to hit with . Read wellsbranch205 and bjreah's posts on this . They are 2 experienced disc golfers and travelers . I laughed when I figured out that I was grading it even lower than they did . Whoever is in charge of this disc golf course ( deceased in 2013 ? ) and if they are still alive , they should be rolled up in that rusty barbed wire and rolled down into that jagged rock creek bed and clubbed with one of those Instep chain disasters . Dr Kevorkian this course and put it out of it's misery . A nice idea was lost here about 10 years ago . My Recommendation : If you are on I-40 near Mt Juliet , keep driving to at least Lebanon or Nashville , even to fill up with gas or go to the bathroom . FYI The .5 I gave the course was actually for ME because I found #2's tee by myself .
