Pros:

Our local club, TDGA, had a couple of workdays in the fall of 2012. Now all 18 short (am) tees are concreted. We also have 10 concreted long (pro) pads. Some added distance to the holes with the new long pads.
Also added new decals to each basket marker to dress the course up a bit. In the near future new tee signs will be added.
The orange cylinders have been removed from the tee pads.

Cons:

Still a short fun course, some holes are unabele to have a long (pro) tee pads due to the design.

Other Thoughts:

You won't be disapppointed by playing Tombigbee 1, play the short tees then play the long tees and compare you scores.

Amateur's Dream 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 17, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

If you're looking for an ace, this is the course for you! One of the oldest courses in the area, disc technology has caught up to this little gem.

Wooded, shorter holes allows your pin-point accuracy to bag a 1 on your card on most holes. Otherwise, a deuce is in the offering.

Over the years, the fairways have opened up, but an occasional tree can still reach out and grab your disc.

A super course for ams to get away from their drivers and improve their mid-range disc tee shots.

Cons:

In warm weather, Poison Ivy is predominant just off many fairways.

In the "bottoms" gnats and skeeters are hunting for someone to pester. Bring repellant.

In the winter, a few areas may be muddy. But overall, they are easy to navigate.

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 11, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Fun course to play.
Good course for people to learn on.
The lodge sells Discs.

Cons:

Most holes are pretty short.
Some parts stay muddy in the winter.
Only a couple of benches.
Tee pads are mostly natrual, and the concrete ones that are there are not very good.

Other Thoughts:

Can be a fun course to play.
Check it out if you're in the area.

Had a good time 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 28, 2007 Played the course:once

Pros:

It's a pretty fun course. It has a nice selection of wooded and open holes. Hole 18 is pretty fun with the OB line to the left throwing from up high on a hill. That made it more challenging as I didn't see a spot to go get your disc had you throw it over there! PLENTY OF SHADE

Cons:

Only thing I can think of is beating your disc to death on the trees like I did. Just watch out for roots so you don't hurt your ankles and you should be fine! NOW GET OUT THERE AND SLING A FEW!

Other Thoughts:

You should go check out this course if you are in the area. Well this one and the 325625623 others that are in the area.

You will love this course!

Also try and come to a tourney at it when they are going on! AWESOME!

Fun little course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 15, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great course for newcomers from the short tees and a solid, fun course for advanced players from the long tees. It is a mostly short course with well defined fairways, great elevation, some OB (no water hazards), lots of trees, and lots of birdies! There is a decent amount of variety and the park keeps the course clean. This can be a fun little course to play if you are just out looking for a good time.

Camping is available, as well as cabins. The lodge at the end of hole 18 has restrooms and a water fountain.

Cons:

Tee signs are decent, but old and some of the new holes do not have signs at all. The new concrete pads are ok, but a lot of holes still have the old concrete pads that are worn and very slick when it rains. This course is very righty friendly and a lefty with no side arm will have a tougher time than normal.

Also when it rains, the low levels of the course can get very muddy and tend to stay muddy during the winter. The only restrooms are at hole 18 or the lodge, which is at the end of the course. The half way point does not loop back to the beginning.

Also as usual for MS parks, it is $3 per vehicle to enter the park, but most MS residents buy the yearly pass for $42, which is valid for all MS state parks.

Other Thoughts:

This is your typical older, par 3 course, that is the essence of deuce or die from the short tees. This is the course I first learned to play disc golf on and it can be a lot of fun to play. My original review had this course chalked up as being too easy for advanced players, but the addition of several long tees and benches have caused me to update my rating by a full disc. The newer long tees bring a much needed balance to the course and offer much needed variety and challenges for better players. I would recommend this course for anybody coming to Tupelo.
