Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Lots of woody/rocky holes, with mild elevation changes through the middle stepping up to steep shots up and down a hill on the back end.
A few holes have short/long tees.
A few holes have short/long tees.
Cons:
Short holes on short holes on short holes, with only a few medium lengths. Even the dead open shots aren't long. While there are plenty of wooded shots, it doesn't feel technical or tight enough to make up for the missing distance. Also, after the first six, it gets really repetitive. 7-11 are just the same basic lines up and down the same hillside. 12-16 are on a steeper hillside but likewise just feel like going back and forth between the same two holes.
All that water right there, and there are two half-hearted water shots only. Wasted opportunity.
Single chain baskets. Sure, they catch (something), but it's a serious change for someone not used to playing on equipment of a certain age.
Signage is a joke. Tee signs show distance only, and they rotate, so they aren't necessarily even going to point you in the general direction of the basket, and you are just on your own as far as finding the next tee.

Other Thoughts:
Several tees were very slick. Uncertain as to the permanence of this condition, so not listed in cons for now.
Tee 8 is on the far side of the building from basket 7. Don't spend forty years wandering the desert looking for it like I did.

Pros:
Along with Chickasaw and Warrior Ridge, Tishomingo SP provides 56 holes of disc golf in one park.
This is the newest of the 3 courses the park has to offer. It is practically across the road from Warrior Ridge.
This first third of this course begins around the back of the lake, which does come in to play on a couple of holes (one hole plays across a corner of it), but it makes for an interesting and scenic beginning to the round. The lake can be seen from almost every hole adding to the appeal of this course. The middle third play through moderately wooded areas, with some elevation. The final third plays up and down a steep hill. This provides an overall good variety, but it does lack a rotation of different hole styles.
The tee signs are wooded posts with hole # and distance (sufficient, but not as nice as the color map tee signs the other 2 courses have.)

Cons:
Because it is new it needs some time to season and mature. Right now navigation is tricky. Mainly because the basket numbers are incorrect. It seems they got 18 old baskets from somewhere else, but they either have no number or the wrong number, some even in the 20's!
Tees are carpet or natural, which is the norm for the park.
The last 6 holes are just up, down, up, down, up, down a steep wooded hill- you will end up saying to yourself "this hole again?" as you finish your round. This is a course that starts out pretty strong but ends weak.

Other Thoughts:
Note- Tee #1 is a parking spot marked with orange cones and Basket #1 is down the hill to the right, not the basket you see on the levee straight in front.
I stayed in a cabin on site and played disc golf all day. What more could you ask for?
$3 a day to enter the park, but you can play both courses on site as many times as you want.
I would rate this course 2nd out of the 3 in this park. However, this course has a lot of potential and could challenge to be my #1 of 3 over time. None of the 3 are top 10 courses, but when you consider there are 3 courses in one park, Tishomingo makes for a nice disc golf destination.
