Fun Course!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 1, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very fun course. Many holes are short and easily birdieable, but there are a few long air it out holes. 15 plays 495 from the pro pad and 380 from Am. The big thing to this course is just hit your lines. Because besides the long holes, its nothing but small space. Elevation is used well when there is some. 11 plays pretty downhill right. 2's pro pad is elevated much higher than its Am pad. 3 is uphill right. But nothing outrageous. The closest is 18 which is just a big right to left swooping downhill to the lake. Benches on about every hole. Some trash cans along the way. 2 drink machines in the parking lot, in case you forget. Discs available on site. A practice basket. 17 has a mando, although its not hard to hit unless its from the pro pad. Just a well rounded course.

Cons:

On most holes, pedestrians won't be a problem. However on 15 and 18 they could be. 16 plays close to a curved road and theres no flick/anny route, so a car could hit the curb the same time your hyzer does. I've seen a few discs go chasing em. If you dislike short courses, then this isn't for you. No bathrooms along the course, unless you count the woods.

Other Thoughts:

Solid fun course. Easy to shoot under for the upper ams and pros, even from the pro pads, although they do add a challenge. Plays close to Bigbee 2 of course, a serious championship course. Watch out for snakes at 2 though. Also 10 minutes from Veteran's park, which houses 3 courses now. IF YOU PLAY ANY OF THE 5 COURSES, YOU MUST EAT AT JOHNNIE'S! Best food you'll ever had. Elvis ate there and it is decked out with Elvis memorabilia. It's a small diner just outside Veteran's on Main Street. It's the oldest (and best) in Tupelo. What's not to love about Tupelo and it's disc golf!

Fall Classic 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 9, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

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.
