:( 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 30, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

There was no one there, which is a plus, I guess.


Big field by the last hole to practice distance drives.

Cons:

Course is hard to locate, even when using directions.
First teepad is wayyyyy out of the way compared to the parking lot.

Hole 1 (which is Hole 2) has a massive fallen tree blocking the teepad and fairway, making it unplayable.

Holes are not very well thought out. A couple are very strangely laid out, including sharp and sudden 100 degree doglegs and next to impossible ceilings due to lack of maintenance.

The baskets look like they're from the 15th century and are falling apart.

Teepads are extremely small. Enough room for a single step before throwing.

Really hard to find the teepads for the last few holes. Ended up giving up and not playing the last two.

Other Thoughts:

Sucks to see a course in this bad of shape.

Could be slightly salvaged with some serious maintenance and new baskets but seems like a lost cause at this point.


This is the worst course I have played on to date. Not much to be said about it other than that.

The Effect of Neglect 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 30, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

At the back of the park are the dying remains of a disc golf course. Littered with broken teepad signs and prehistoric baskets, the Mundy Park DGC is a sad reminder of what happens when a course is abandoned.

The first few holes are in the woods and short, but the design is decent and the fairways are fair.

The original Hole #1 was sacrificed, but a ninth hole/basket was added at the end of the course.

There is some moderate elevation on this course. Hole #9 is probably the most noteworthy, as you throw over a valley and the basket is positioned on the edge of a hill.

Cons:

I've played more than 300 courses, and these are the WORST baskets I have seen. The course was designed in 2009, but the baskets appear to be from 1909. The fragile metal baskets are bent and warped with a single row of chains surrounding a narrow center pole. The gold-colored paint is chipped in countless spots and the original coat of burgundy shows. The baskets are shallow and not even a disc deep. I did not have any spit-outs, but I imagine they are frequent. The last few baskets have been upgraded, however.

The teepads are tiny, though with the putter distances on most of the holes, you won't need much of a run-up.

The signs are in poor shape, and several were broken. Of course, with the removal of the original Hole #1, all the hole numbers are incorrect. There are no tee signs for Holes #7 through #9. Apparently, those holes were previously indicated with spray paint on the sidewalk, but those marks have washed away. I used the UDisc map to estimate the intended teepad area.

The decent design peters out quickly. The basket for Hole #3 juts out into Hole #4's fairway. And the line to the Hole #5 basket is ridiculous. Even though it's only 192 feet, the design is similar to an upside-down-J and will require a bit of magic to park your drive.

The right-side boundary of Hole #6 includes several fenced backyards, so if your drive goes right and avoids the towering pines, you might be scrambling to retrieve your disc.

After Hole #9, it's every bit of a five-minute walk back to your car if you parked near the entrance.

Other Thoughts:

Visiting a disc golf course nearing RIP status can be a strange pleasure. I was prepared for the worst, considering the five previous Trusted Reviewers' rating average was 1.4. I was not disappointed.

To reach the start of the course, park in the half-circle on the right just after the park entrance. Walk along the fence that separates the park from the manufacturing facility. Just before you reach the residential backyards, turn left and you'll find the first hole (with a sign that says Hole #2).

I hesitated to sentence Mundy Park with a 0.5 rating, but it is deserved. There isn't enough decent stuff here to merit a full point, especially for a course going the way of the dinosaurs.

Mt. Juliet's Low Point 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2019 Played the course:once

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 .
