Hybrid Park/Woods Course

Reviewed: Played on:May 8, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Decent variety of woods shots on the front 9 and open shots on the more open back 9.

A variety of shot shapes required and hole lengths as well. Sub 200' and 400'+ holes.

Holes 1 and 2 incorporate the creek well and are really fun risk reward shots.

Tons of parking. If I'm not mistaken there is a water fountain by hole 1 as well.

Practice basket by hole 1 and the basket for 9 is right there as well if you need another one. Even an enclosed football field if you want to do field work

Disc golf only part of the park so you're unlikely to see park goers there for other reasons, except by the dog park by holes 11 and 12.

Relatively clean, not too much litter.

Holes 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14 include some elevation changes.

Signature hole for me has to be #1. Hitting a gap to cross the creek to a guarded green. Very rewarding shot if you execute it.

A really great level of difficulty. An intermediate player will probably shoot around even and an advanced or pro player can really score. Lots of reasonable sub 300' holes. A rec or novice player will likely struggle with some gap hitting and won't be able to reach all the holes but can still have fun. Probably a bit too challenging for a first time player though and not a course to learn on.

Cons:

While it has nice variety, the back 9 has some filler holes that just feel like ways to link up more interesting holes. 12, 15, 16, and 18 come to mind.

Holes 16, 17, and 18 all feel like missed course design opportunities. They are all a touch too long to even bring birdie into play for non-pro arms. So on 16 and 17 you're not even tempted to bring the OB/missed mandos into play. And on 18, the "danger" is going OB on a fairway that is 150' wide. The elevated basket is somewhat interesting. But it's either a no brainer play it safe par 3 or a fairly easy par 4.

The baskets are definitely towards the end of their lifespan. It's not a huge deal beyond the occasional spit out/spit through but worth noting.

The concrete tee pads have suffered some erosion and cracks and can be quite slick, especially after weather.

Less a con than a warning but can be fairly saturated and muddy for a bit after rain because of its proximity to the creek.

Other Thoughts:

Fun little course with decent variety. Close enough to Nashville that if you're close to the city and want some variety outside the usual courses it's not too far of a drive.

Park Course Worth A Try 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Triple Creek Park Disc Golf Course sits just northeast of Nashville . Once in the park , the signs to the course will help you find it . There is lots of parking available for this course . Right next to the lot is a practice basket with a picnic table and a large kiosk with the course map on it . I am not sure why there was no printable map on DGR . Holes #1 and #10 both start near each other but pointing different directions . The baskets are in okay shape and will hold your putts well enough . The tees are good enough , some a bit longer than others , some pavers make up a few differences . The signage is Fine , giving you hole number , par , distance and tee to basket pictures . There is only one tee per hole but multiple pin placements on most . Some benches and trash cans throughout the course . There is nothing really in the way of elevation here , except an occasional uphill ( #7, #14 , #18 ) or downhill ( #1 , #10 ) grade . The creek barely comes into play , maybe #1 and #12 possibly . The holes will never wow you , but it is a good course to sharpen your game . What I like is that the front 9 is mostly in the woods and technical , with tight fairways ( 2-5 play very tight , with trees and brush most everywhere , but #6 is a gimme 195' as long as you miss the midway set of trees ) . #7 is a slight uphill grade going out of the woods to the green which sits pretty close to the parking lot road . #8 tee is a little confusing , you walk back towards the woods and keeping it to your right , you will be able to duck back in and play #8 , which plays in the woods but back towards the start of the course 330' , and #9 plays parallel to #1 but uphill instead of downhill and towards the kiosk . The back 9 is much more open , so if you are a local and just have time to play 9 , you have a choice with the technical front of the course or the back 9 where you can air it out more . Some decent holes on the back are #11 which the fairway runs close to the bush/tree line on the right and is open on the left .A large bush juts out at the end to protect the basket . #12 is over on the left , right next to the #13 tee going the other way . It is a shorter shot with a large tree blocking the path to the basket and a risk/reward line to a basket that has a creek dropping off right behind it . There was construction to the immediate right of 13,( I hit a bulldozer ) with the basket placement set between 2 trees on a small hill . You will have to backtrack a little to # 14's tee with sits back down the hill and between #13's basket and #11's tee pad . Your drive will go up a hill and sideways right to left to a level area and the basket . The 15 tee is in the bushes behind you and to the right , where you throw over some of the only thick brush on the course to the basket about 40'+ behind it and slightly right . You will have to walk a bit to #16 tee which is behind the ball field and along a bush line to your right and open field on the left , with the basket tucked into the end of the bush line ( kind of like #11 ) . #17 tee is over the road a little back from the #16 basket . You throw between 2 trees to a basket almost straight ahead 365' . #18 tee sits across the walking path to the right and you throw an unobstructed drive slightly uphill to an elevated basket 425' ( at least the design of the elevated is well done ). The course can be completed solo in probably an hour . There were 2 groups playing on a Sunday morning when I was here , so you likely won't have to compete for tee boxes . The course was well mowed and branches trimmed where needed . This course can be suited for everyone from newbies to maybe intermediates ( hopefully the pins are in the shorts for the newbies and casuals ) . Locals should love this course . Disc Risk : Pretty low , except maybe a ricochet into some brush to a blind basket on holes 2-5 , or the thick brush on 15 if you come up short off the tee . Signature Hole : #4 . 349' from the long position , this fairway plays tight and you will have to do some tree dodging . Take your 3 if you can and be satisfied .

Cons:

#1 Safety . There is the occasional jogger or dog walker that utilizes the front 9 woods section and the cement walking trail that comes into play the last few holes . Also , a shanked drive on 12 might produce a noggin buster or a pooch popper at the dog park on the right . The #7 blast out of the woods could nip a walker or car if not careful . Please be patient and share with the other park users . #2 Back 9 Blandness . I know that the course designers tried to spruce up the back 9 with a mando , some clever pin placements and a nice elevated tee , but they seem to fall a little short of the mark . #3 " Cleanup On Aisle 15 , Please " . The dense growing weeds between the tee and basket on #15 is more of an eyesore that a rough . It would be better served if bushes or trees were planted there , instead .

Other Thoughts:

I drove out here on an early Sunday morning with great weather. After reading the recent reviews of this course , It felt like I was in for a long round of mediocre disc golf . I came away from my round entertained and glad I played it . The course is configured correctly , with 9 technical holes that end where your started , and 9 open holes that pick up and end just on the other side of the parking lot . Not rock solid by any means , but a good easy walk on an evening or weekend round . Tournament tested players might think this course is too easy , but it is plenty for the rest of us hackers . The longer pin positions might make some happier . Where this course shows some of its age ( 22 yrs ) , it still makes up for it in stamina . It is the only public course for 15 miles . I would play it a lot if local . My Recommendation : Don't make a special trip , but if in the area ,it's worth playing . Stop by and grab a round or 2 .

An OK course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 6, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Front 9 plays through some nice wooded shots that really test your accuracy. Back 9 plays over open farmland and is great for distance shots. Nice variety

Cons:

A lot of the holes in the front 9 have very random tree patterns in the fairway and I basically had to rip it and hope for some tree love. The signs on quite a few tees had fallen over and the sign for 18 is missing entirely

Other Thoughts:

This course was empty when we went and felt like our own private course. I played badly but look forward to going back.

A nice intermediate course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

This was a pretty good course. Like people have said, this is like two courses made into one. The front nine is a lot harder with it going through the woods but you can make up for it on the back nine as it is mostly wide open.

It is a good intermediate course that I recommend playing at least once. If you are very good at disc golf you shouldn't have a hard time with this course. There are many opportunities to get a few birdies and many pars.

The grass was trimmed on the front nine with the back nine just out in some fields so it is more of large grassy areas.

The course does a good job with having signs on every hole besides one and it does a good job of locating you to the next hole so that you don't get lost. All the teepads have concrete which is a big plus.

Lastly, it's very secluded for the most part from the rest of the park.

Cons:

Hole 8 doesn't have a sign, Hole 13's sign was knocked over on the ground, Hole 18's sign was knocked over on the ground.

There were some large amounts of trash just laying on the ground next to the teepads which is a big pet peeve of mine.

Other Thoughts:

I came on a Monday when I had the day off from work so the course was completely empty. Just a few people walking around but besides that it was just me. There is a dog playground/park next to Hole 11 so it was fun to stop and play on that for a little while before proceeding to the next hole.
