Pros:
-No water in play, woot!
-Baskets were high quality mach's.
-Tee pads were mixed; some concrete, some gravel; I noticed one was carpet.
-The course is well marked with signs and some good maps before you begin hole 1.
-This heavily wooded course is designed pretty well to take advantage of the drastic elevation changes.
-Although it's heavily wooded, it was still maintained nicely as the fairways were well defined on most holes.
-There were some benches and trash bags along the way as an added convenience.
-The course is fun; and it has a variety of hole types and shots required.
-The elevation changes make for a challenging course.
-There are nice facilities at Tombigbee State Park: primitive and camper camping, nice bathrooms, several water hoses along the course, pavilions, grills, parking is good, beautiful scenery, and the locals are great.
Cons:
- $3 entry fee normally.
- The baskets for holes 5, 8, & 10 converge at one point. During the tournament with 72 players in the field, it got congested in this area.
Other Thoughts:
Overall a great course; I give it two thumbs up. It was fun and challenging. I enjoyed the elevation changes, especially when there were blind shots involved. The Tupelo dg group seems very involved with their courses.
The course has mostly woods with about five open holes. One of the guys I played with said beware of the "Tupelo roll", because the baskets are on the side of some very steep hills. It never got me, but I witnessed a few strokes lost to the Tupelo roll.
