Fun and well done 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 25, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Challenging course with two tee box options on most holes. We played on Christmas day so there wasn't much foliage I could see were it would be much more challenging and/or frustrating in the spring or summer. It's obvious the local disk golf club (the aptly named woodpeckers ha ha!) really cares about this course. Lots of white oaks and my driver was knocking them all afternoon. It was an artificial "Yella hammer". Quality Alabama disc golf for sure. Watch out for live traps!

Dog friendly. Port o potty in the lot.

Cons:

Finding the first tee box was a little difficult. It's not newbie friendly but you can figure it out and the locals were gracious and helpful.

Other Thoughts:

Go play it!

Really fun park to play...when it hasnt rained 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 7, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I love the varied shot selection that the wooded fairways make you throw. Must learn how to shape your shots to score well.

Cons:

signage leaves a bit to the imagination in spots. No restroom on site. Have to throw over water on hole 18...pavilion roof is too convenient for discs to land on.

The ground doesn't absorb rainfall very well, so the course can be muddy at times.

Other Thoughts:

Its a really fun course and I would recommend stopping, if you are traveling through.

Great course if it hasnt rained in 3 days 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 1, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The small creek winding through the course makes for interesting shot decisions. The short course has a few open area, but most of the shots run through at least some trees to a great deal of trees making for varied play.

Cons:

One hole has been missing its basket now for months. When it rains the entire course turns into a flooded muddy mess and the creek becomes so swift that any disc thrown near it is gone instantly.

Other Thoughts:

Other then hole 18 the course could be used to teach others the basics of disc golf. Some of the holes are very straight forward and good for teaching kids or those new to the sport.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 7, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Very nice short course with both pro and am pads. Quite wooded with creeks coming into play on several holes and a large pond that can swallow discs on #1 and #18.

Cons:

New course with signs of clearing and construction. If it has rained, the course gets quite muddy. It also lacks bridges in some key areas, making crossing the creeks an adventure.

Other Thoughts:

This course, over time, could develop into a great gem. It just needs more play and time to recover from the construction scars.
