Good Practice Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 24, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course is in a nice location and easy to find. The grounds are kept up very nicely with very little debris to clutter it up. Hole are easy to find because it follows a walking trail so walk counter clockwise and it's easy as that.

Cons:

The course as I said is located by a walking path, so if the park is busy you will find yourself waiting to throw for people to walk by and get out potential disc flying area. Holes 1,3,4, and 9 are all hard turns to the right. So right handed throwers expect to lay up on the first throw. The course was also built before some of the other things in the park. You will find that there are tennis courts on hole 8 you have to play around, hole 6 has a building and fencing with barbed wire on top and hole 5 has soccer fields on the left so don't curve it to hard when a game is going.

Other Thoughts:

Not a bad place to go to just practice throwing differnt throws or just to play for fun. Nothing technical at all about the course.

Nice but needs improvement 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 30, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Good opportunity to expose people to disc golf. Course is brand new. Nice park.

Cons:

OB areas and some fairway layout leaves something to be desired. Fairways are intertwined with the exercise path encircling the park meaning you'll be left waiting to throw if it's busy or risk hurting someone.

Other Thoughts:

#1 is backed up by some windows of what looks to be a retirement home? I'm concerned a long drive there will mean a broken window and no more disc golf.

#3 or 4 fairway was U shaped, impossibly tight and should be reworked. The next fairway is bordered on the left by a six foot chain link fence that made retrieving errant shots time consuming. The same fairway is bordered on the right by a blackwater ditch guarded by thorny vines/bushes. The next fairway has a building on the left side with a 12 foot high roofed back storage area that is very easy to lose a disc on.

I'm sure the eagle scout that designed the course did what he thought was best with the area he had available, I just wish he had consulted with some of the local pros before he put the course in. Some of the pin positions here will need to move for safety, some for playability.

Brand new change of pace! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 24, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Brand spanking new baskets. Excellent signage, easy to find. Utilizes the surroundings to maximize the challenge. For the space this course fits into it's very well layed out with lots of OB, and cleverly protected basket placements.

Cons:

Rather far drive from Savannah where I live. Only 9 holes, but I'm sure alternate T pads to create the back nine will be in place shortly. Lots of distractions, at a busy park with tons of pedestrians/spectators of other sports.

Other Thoughts:

There are 3 courses within an hour of Savannah this being the 3rd and newest. "The Sarge" in Hardeeville, and "TTP" in Pooler GA are both heavily wooded long courses that challenge pros from the long tee's. This course is wide open and anyone with a big drive will love hole five six and seven. It's a nice change of pace, and somewhere to work on throwing new discs without hitting all the trees you would at the other courses around town.
