It's been a few years since the last review so I'm happy to report that navigation is no longer a problem. Arrows pointing you in the right direction are everywhere. The hardest part is actually finding the course (it's at the end of a neighborhood right before the entrance to the park). The last 10 holes are very tight but the lines are true--allowing a perfect shot to realistically find the basket. There's also a good amount of variety in terms of direction. I'd say its an even mix of straight, right, and left. The course loops back at 8 to the parking area. It's definitely secluded, another plus is my book.

The first 8 holes are enjoyable but pale in comparison to the creativity and difficulty of the back 10. Having such an incredible landscape to play with, there are very little elevation changes. Baskets were sloppily spray-painted with the hope of increasing visibility. A simple orange sticker would have done the job.

This is well worth the visit. I think the reviews that mention the dangers of losing discs to steep ravines are a little overblown. Definitely hit the bottom course too to experience the drastic elevation changes you'd expect in this area.

UPDATE 6/2018: This place is still very rustic but I have more and more fun each time I visit. Those wooded holes starting with #8 are fantastic and even the first 7 has grown on me.

If you're planning a discventure through this area, I'd definitely hit this course and bypass the lower course (holes missing due to camping area expansion). If I had to rank, 1. Lake Cumberland State Park (Jamestown) 2. new and improved Eubank 3. Pulaski Top 4. Rocky Hollow.

Beautiful location - sitting atop the hill above the lower course - overlooking a finger of Lake Cumberland

Fun - technical - tree threading holes
Since the course plays atop the hill - if you find yourself hitting trees or missing your lines - its quite possible your disc will end up hundreds of feet below

The Back 9 are worth playing again and again
After the front 9 which were mostly blah. The back 9 made made up for it in a most amazing way.
The edge of the hill grows closer, the holes got tighter and with more turns, and some great elevation changes.

Fantastic journey through the woods - great experience - closest thing in Kentucky that I have played that reminds me of North Carolina golf

Lack of signage - those signs that do still exist are faded and worn
There is a course map near tee 1 - but it also is faded and worn

Is the course maintained year round - I have no idea - played it during the winter, so it was fairly easy to get around

The front 9 are kinda bland - feels like you throw the same shots again and again

This course is part of the Pulaski Complex - with upper and lower 18 hole layouts - this is a huge plus

Played the course in the winter - so it was fairly easy to find our way - but I made sure to take some pics of the course map before we got started.

Make sure you have a map - there were at least two long walks between holes, but they followed a fairly easy trail to see

The gate was locked but just parked right next to it and the course started just a few 100 feet away

This course has a lot of technical demand, especially on the back 9. I have played through some fairly tightly wooded fairways, but they seem like 4-lane highways compared to some of these fairways.

What I really enjoyed were several holes that had an "S" designed into the fairway, not just a standard straight shot (like hole 10) at the basket or a hard dogleg right or left (like hole 9 or hole 17, respectively).

What really makes this course fun and challenging is not just the tight alleys you have to throw through, but when you get past hole 11, and until you get back to hole 17, you have to contend with massive drop-offs on the left. Some edges are closer than others, and can wreak havoc for a RHBH who doesn't have great control over their throws. This is the first course I've ever played where I was INTIMIDATED into throwing a RHFH, even though I don't do very well at them. The basket on Hole 13 is on the end of the ridge, where you turn back to head toward the starting point, and the basket is a mere 10-15 feet from a LARGE drop-off. I almost had to play taps for my aviar p&a, but luckily it was saved by a tree.

My favorite hole was number 18. Fairly long, throwing from an elevated area on the left, with a huge drop-off to the right, with a middle ground that starts way below, and meets the path on the left by the basket. Check out the pictures, but believe me it is hard to do this hole justice with just a couple photos. If I'd had more time I would have play this hole several times.

Now I have commented before that a course requires every shot in you bag to do well, but none have shown it as well as this one. With the exception of a roller (which actually would have been beneficial a couple of times), I DID throw every shot. Not because that was the best shot, but because I had to, due to the terrain and natural obstacles.

All tee pads were concrete and in great shape, and all baskets I believe were dual-chain style, and none seem to have been damaged, unlike the lower course.

I love the natural feel of this course, and it doesn't feel like a "park" like most courses do. I like the feel that you're out on a hike on a little used trail, and scenery is awesome, especially looking of the cliffs!

Do I like it as much as the bottom course? I feel they both have equal appeal to me, but for different reasons. I like the elevation changes of the lower course, but the technical aspects of the upper course are what would make me choose it if I had to pick one.

As with the lower course, navigation could stand to be improved. The map at the parking area would probably be just good enough to where you don't get lost in the woods. I was fortunate enough to have a local to shoot a round with, otherwise it would have been an all day affair. Just knowing which path to take could mean the difference between ready for tee-off, and crap where the heck am I? Be especially attentive when trying to find 17's tee when coming back from 16's basket. On the main path there are a couple steel spikes in the ground that mark where you turn off to go to the tee, but no signs or clear path are evident just looking from the main path. Additionally, be careful going from 17's basket to 18's tee. There is a sign from 17's basket pointing in that direction, but be sure to follow the blue-marked trees or you may need a GPS to find your way out.

Also, only about a third to half of the tees had tee signs that had not be damaged or completely removed. The ones that were there were rudimentary at best.

I suggest taking a local with you if you can, or at least someone who has played the course before.

There are no facilities up there, so you'd have to drive a couple miles to the other part of the park, or go before you get there.

Some "next tee" signs as well as some general directional signs would be a welcome addition.

This was a really fun course. It probably would have been a little easier when leaves weren't covering just about every square inch, or if the ground weren't only half solid due to all the recent rain.

I give this course a 3.5 and not higher because it needs a couple of fundamentals addressed that would really make the overall experience much more enjoyable, mostly for visitors, locals probably don't have much problem, but hey the purpose of these reviews is for the benefit of those who've never played the course before.

If I return down the road and they have fixed some of the issues, I will gladly adjust my score.

Take your boots, maybe even a GPS just in case, or a local if you can find one.

This course is extremely challenging and technical. More than half of the holes play dangerously close to the edge of a cliff. It is not a life or death kind of thing, but you are not going to be chasing after a disc unless it is irreplacable.

The first 7 holes are on level ground, with easy to navigate fairways. The baskets are usually protected by groupings of trees. The average drive for these holes is around 200 feet. Get all the birdies you can on these holes, because the remainder of the course is very unforgiving.

Hole 8 plays around 600 feet with a 40 foot wide fairway. The next hole is short, with an extreme dogleg right. Hole 10 requires a good walk - and when you arrive at the teepad, know that you have just come to an entire new course.

The back 9 of this course plays extremely technical with tight fairways that punish errant shots. Many of these holes play along the ridge of a mountain, and the fairways are extremely tight. Many of the holes are in the 200-250 range, and require either a line-drive shot or a hyzer/anyhzer that holds a tight line.

This part of the course favors left handed throwers as there is an extreme drop off on the left side of many of the fairways, and when throwing RHBH, you can easily have a disc go off the edge.

Hole #18 is an awesome disc golf shot!

Trying to find your way to hole #10 and #17 can be really confusing on your first play. #10 requires a walk down a narrow pathway. You will pass an opening on the left (where the #17 teepad is - don't turn here).

Many of the holes do not have tee signs, which is frustrating when you can not see the basket from the pad. Accurate tee signs with posted lengths would greatly benefit this course.

It is easy to lose plastic here along the ridge playing 10-18. Also, the extremely tight fairways can be frustrating, as there is very little room for error.

This is one of the most challenging courses in the state. Holes 10-16 is the hardest stretch of holes I have ever played.

Bring all the shots in your bag. Being able to throw a 250 foot line drive shot is a major asset at this course. Overhand shots (tomahawk, thumbers) are needed to get out of trouble and sidearm drives come in handy as well.

I would recommend this course to anyone - especially skilled players that are looking for a challenge, or just want to try something different.

Overall, this is a great course that will test your nerves. The only real negative is that the layout is confusing when playing for the first time. Walk the course first or try to play with a local.

Razor sharp accuracy needed for back 9 as the holes we're much longer and thicker (some prunning would be good thing as well as better signage) than the bottom course, thus this course develops a better player, because to score well you need to be accurate.

the top 5 -7 holes we're on flat ground (but if you chunked it off to the extreeme right you could loose your disc) playing along an old path or roadway.

without a map some of the local routes to and from different holes on the back 9 could be hard to find. (luckily for me the Disc Gods sent me a local Disc Golfer (Dave M.) who was just walking around getting his daily excerise in and showed me the last few holes in or near complete darkness. So I guess it ended up being a PRO more so than a CON, but without his aide I would of been lost in the woods.

some fairways we're just to thick (prunning would be good thing as well as better signage to the next hole. I found that just a simple piece of colored electrical tape with an arrow pointing the direction to the next hole, on the bottom of the baskets well is efficent.

Poor map of course on the kiosk, but without that your really lost without a local guide.

Can't walk to the bottom course. (but it's only a short drive maybe 5 minutes)

I would recomend staying down here for the weekend or a whole day as you have 3 really GOOD courses all within an hour's drive of one another

Nice mix of shots, course will test you nerves due to huge drop offs, tests every shot you can think of, even though most holes are fairly short many require placement shots instead of runs at the basket

Downed trees in a few fairways (could easily be a 4.5 if the course was maintained), sacrificial discs are required, hard to follow if you dont have a map, dont play if you have a fear of heights

I personally love this course and its in my top 5 in Kentucky. It obvious from being out there for the first time in a few years that it hasn't been heavily played. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to really test there game. (warning: If you throw an errant shot get ready to watch the disc fly down the side of a mountain to never be seen again)
