Cons:
-half of the course isnt in the shade
-LOTS of walking due to the holes being so spread apart, which isnt really a con in my book but I recommend playing the front 10, and then driving to the other parking lot near the pool and walking the remainder
-needs water fountains
-no course map
-first time you will wander aimlessly to find the holes

Other Thoughts:
I pretty much mirror most of the positive reviews for this course. I will most def. come back. I was skeptical at first when I first arrived but immediately fell in love with it. With just a few minor improvements this could easily be one of the best in the N. Alabama area.
On a side note, I enjoyed the different layouts of the course most of the courses in N. Alabama are all heavily wooded so this is a welcomed change. Also, if you are playing disc golf and you live in Alabama, its going to be hot. I mean get real, its part of the game. My buddy and I played it today in 90 degree weather a nice breeze and had a blast. Don't bitch about Alabama sunshine if you play DG in the summer. Get out there and get acclimated to the weather early on, and for this course especially stay hydrated and take breaks

Pros:
- This course has a great mix of holes. length/varity of shot/ etc.
- Great Discatcher baskets
- OB everywhere ( i put this as a pro since it teaches you to throw controlled shots and helps with the mental part of your game)
- Mulitple tee pads and pin locations on almost every hole.
- The club moves the baskets monthly, so it keeps it interesting playing new holes
- The Recreation Department keeps the grass cut and the course looking fantastic
- Tee Signs show accurate distances

Cons:
- Only bathroom on the course is next too the soccer fields that is behind a closed gate most of the time.
- Course can be a little hard to navigate the first time through

Other Thoughts:
I don't think this course gets enough credit. It will help you learn a varity of shots, how to play in the wind, throw controlled distance shots, and helps with your mental game. One of my favorite courses.
