- It is a beautiful park that is a piece of American history. For a first trip, give yourself some extra time to look around at the buildings and just enjoy the park.
- It seems to be well maintained. It may have been dumb luck as another review mentioned the grass being high, but at a time where it is a struggle to find fairway shots in Knoxville and Oak Ridge, the grass was short.
- Several really fun holes. Hole 4 is a riot with a massive downhill tee shot with the pin tucked to the right around the trees. Hole 12 is a short downhill straight shot that really tests your touch. Hole 15 and 16 are fun ace runs.

- Signage doesn't meet the standard of most area courses. I didn't see a course map. The tee are marked (except maybe hole 9), but no map, so a lot of extra walking to figure out where you are throwing. No hints at navigation towards the next hole.
- Hole #8 is a relatively long water carry with no obvious drop zone or bail out area. For a course that caters to the public, this is pretty unacceptable. People also fish off the bank here.
- The first 11 or so holes are relatively open and not particularly interesting to a person without a lot of distance, especially with several uphill throws. This also means little cover from the sun, or other elements.

If you are playing disc golf in the area, I feel like it is a must play for the historical factor and uniqueness alone. For play, it is a fun course and has a feel that is very similar to Cherokee Park in Morristown. I personally prefer wooded courses and found Roane County Park a lot more enjoyable, but the fun holes are enjoyable enough that I'll likely revisit on occasion.

The work-in-progress disc golf course at Southwest Point Park makes good use of elevation and is combined with picturesque surroundings, including a great view near the confluence of the Clinch and Tennessee rivers. The majority of the course is open. The last seven holes are lightly wooded, but they average about 200 feet in length.

At first glance, the location for the disc golf course seems out of place. The course is on the land next to Fort Southwest Point, the only fort in Tennessee being reconstructed on its original foundation. Built in 1797, the fort includes replicas of a cannon, Cherokee home and a blacksmith shop from that era.

Since the course is restricted by the park property, the designers did a good job incorporating variety and creativity into the space available. The biggest challenges for disc golfers will likely be managing elevation changes and any windy conditions.

Hole 1 is one of the best holes. Open and downhill, this hole contains gently-sloping hills on both sides of the fairway and provides an excellent opportunity to warm up one's arm. (You will be tempted to empty your entire bag here.)

Hole 8 is an over-the-water hole. The teepad spot wasn't clear, but we threw from the sidewalk near the water and enjoyed the placement challenge.

At the time of this review, not all the teepads had been completed. Several holes are marked with small pink flags. A few other holes aren't marked and require a guess at the teepad's intended location. Also, there are no tee signs ... yet.

Some crowding and redundancy: Holes 5 and 6 share a hill, as do holes 9 through 11. These holes are somewhat repetitive and wayward shots will find adjacent fairways.

A walking path is in play on some holes - be aware of walkers and the potential for OB throws.

Once the teepads are completed and signs are installed, Southwest Point will be a nice park course with easier navigation. Overall, the course feels a little shoehorned into the space and the potential exists for traffic jams on a busy afternoon. But the scenery is top-notch and the use of elevation while playing on lovely grassy areas means that Southwest Point Park is worth a visit if you're in the west Knoxville area.
