Winding course by the river

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 28, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

The park is not far off the highway, but the entrance is small and easy to miss. You see a practice basket by the parking area but the course actually begins over the bridge on the other side of the river.

The front half winds around through trees in the wooded area between the river and the road. The pads are some sort of carpet/turfy material that was fine in the dry, but a little uneven on some. Signs are helpful for way finding but maybe not super accurate distance wise.

Baskets are yellow Innova baskets which is perfect for a wooded course.

You actually have a decently long course to contend with and some challenges with road/water OB. Especially the pond on a couple of the later holes.

Decent amount of shot variety and it helps to be able to manipulate a disc a little.

Cons:

Navigation to hole 2 wasn't super easy and there are a couple of other places that seem a little off as well.

Many of the pads have some of the gravel/sand washed out and are not quite as stable as I would like on many of the holes.

A couple of baskets have been dinged by fallen trees and are a bit off kilter as a result.

The recent redesign has made it longer and more fun, but it has put several of the tees very close to the previous basket. To the degree that cursing an event you could potentially hit the group in front of you on an in the circle drive.

Other Thoughts:

Worth your time to play and the river is quite pretty, but I wasn't awed by it. With a few lines cuts slightly differently and a new surface for the tees it could be pretty darn nice though.

Re-designed 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 7, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Some good holes with length and solid catching baskets. Another course in North Ms, yea.

Cons:

I was not a fan of this course to begin with and the new design may be worse. New tee boxes are in proximity of the preceding holes which is clearly a safety issue. Gravel boxes on some of the new re-designed holes. Still a long haul from finishing number 18 to the parking lot. No water, one bathroom at start, and holes which you throw into the next tee area. Some of the original holes are now par fours according to signs. No this is my personal opinion but I am not fond of open rip it holes, but I don't mind them sprinkled in, no more than I like short technical holes every hole either. The old course was not my favorite but the new course seems to have had little thought but in it.
