Great Road Trip Stop

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 25, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

I travel from Cincinnati to Knoxville quite regularly and needed to find a good, shorter course to stretch my legs. The 9 holer in Williamsburg, KY is not good so I was hopeful when I got off the exit and drove 10 min to the park. I was happy I did.
-Park had nice amenities including restrooms
-Practice basket behind the bathroom
-Some nice small elevation changes
-Wooded, but not overgrown
-Alternate pins or pads on every hole
-No navigation issues
-Hole 1 was a nice starting hole. A must get birdie in a fairly open area leading into the woods and teeing from the parking lot. At only 195' it's a good way to get your feet wet
-The ending hole is solid too. A mostly uphill throw back out of the woods, leaving you right by the parking lot and bathrooms
-Entire course can be played in about half an hour

Cons:

-Very short. No holes are longer than 250' and a few are under 200'
-Gravel teepads that wear out quick
-Several of the wooded holes feel similar and run together
-Near the end you do play relatively close to a fenced in backyard. It would take a terrible throw and kick to end up there, but I've seen some of us throw so it's possible.

Other Thoughts:

This course is really nice. I'd love to have it close for a practice course or for a stop when driving through the area. A switch to concrete tees could help rating but it seemed like a really solid 3 for me, a good course that works well with what it's got.

A great wooded 9 holer. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 27, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

- This is a true wooded course that requires line shaping on every hole.
- Risk reward. You can get to every basket for an easy birdie, but those line choices bring trees into play that could bring bogeys into play. Or you can throw relatively straight shots throw the primary gap and get stress free pars if you execute. Same with putting. Running putts introduces the chance at catching a tree or a rollaway.
- Elevation changes.
- Easy to navigate. Signs on trees leading you to the next tee and designated walking paths. Just a really well thought out course.
- Challenging wooded course, but the rough is pretty clean. Not much of a chance of losing a disc. Not much time spent looking for discs.

I probably need to play it a few times to describe the holes in detail, but there isn't a bad hole. Several holes that finish right. Several holes that finish left. Several downhill holes. An uphill finish on hole #9. Blind tee shot on #2. I threw a variety of discs and a variety of shots.

This is my new favorite 9 hole course in the Knoxville area.

Cons:

-Gravel tee pads.
- It might get a little sloppy and tough to navigate after a hard rain.
- There really isn't a signature hole. The flipside is that there also really isn't a bad hole.

Everything else are just the limitations that you can see on the course info page. 9 hole course, sub 1900 feet, single tee pads, single baskets (though there are a couple of baskets that could be treated as alternate baskets).

Other Thoughts:

Pay attention to the directions under course info. Simply following google maps can be a touch tricky. The course if very close to I-75, so this works well for people traveling through the area looking to bag courses. If you are a local, it is probably out of the way.

What is the highest that you would rate a sub-1900 foot nine hole course with gravel tee pads? That's how you should treat my rating.
