Tee Pads are in great shape. Holes are challenging and require placement off the tee. There is a lot of thinking about how to set yourself up for approaches which I believe adds a lot to the game. Signs are excellent. Groundskeeping was immaculate. Bathrooms are close to a majority of the holes.

Litter...there are few (if any) garbage cans on the course. There is a small pond that some of the holes play around and it was full of trash all along the bank of hole 17. There was also a lot of trash in the woods lining hole 4.

Traffic Distractions...Some holes are close to the interstate. Some play along a strectch of a 4-lane road that is very very busy. Many other holes play along campus roads. There were more than one occasion where I would wait for traffic as flight paths go over the roads.

DiscCatchers...I just don't like them. But these have been decorated very well by the Rocket City Chain Gang.

If you asked me to grade the design of the course, I would give it around a 4.5. But the traffic that is encountered is a nuisance at some point. I know I am not the highest rated pro, but stepping up to a tee pad and thinking "if I don't get on top of this drive, it may hyzer out into 4 lanes of traffic" is not a thought that makes a course enjoyable. Strangely, I found this course to be almost stressful to play and I play for relaxation. The litter was a pretty big problem. If it was cleaned up with some garbage cans placed at every third hole or so, the course would look much better.

As a side note (this did not factor into my evalauation) I found the locals to be very unfriendly. There were two guys that were in front of me, which is what I wanted because I did not have a map and I wanted to see where they would go after holing out. After a few holes they yelled at me to play through. I told them why I was following them but they said I was "pressuring" them by waiting at the tee. So I finally thought "screw it" and I played through. Then about 4 holes later, they yelled ahead at me because I was taking too long and didn't know where to go. There was also another guy who jumped in front of me in the middle of the course. No big deal, I figured I would follow him. There are two holes that play parallel (down and back) and we both teed off at the same time, so our drives landed about the same distance, each in our own fairway. Well he was about 30 feet away, so I politely said "how's it going?" as I passed. He looked right at me, kinda shrugged his shoulders and grunted and walked right past. So I just finished my round and drove to Guntersville for the night.

Located on the UAH college campus, this course is beautiful and well maintained. The local club is very active and takes care of all their courses. The course has nice long concrete tees and DISCatcher baskets with a flag on top. The course is a long arm's dream, but with plenty of dangers, including roads, a stream, a big ditch, and 2 good water shots. If that is not enough, then it is almost always windy on this course, which can make your long shots even more difficult. If you like a challenge, you will love this course.

This course is long and not very beginner friendly. I do not know if it is possible, but I wish a few trees could be planted in the many open fairways to take this course to an even higher level of challenge, as well as giving some shade during the hot summers. It would be nice to see more benches throughout the course. The only bathrooms and water fountains are inside the building, which is usually locked unless a tournament is going on.

This is one of my favorite courses. Tournaments in Huntsville are well run and fun to play, and the mixture of courses, particularly with the addition of this one, will really test your overall game. The course is a lot of fun to play for advanced+ level players. The combination of the wind, OBs, distance, as well as some of the tricky shots involved in the course, along with the awesome upkeep, really makes this course something special. I would highly recommend this course if you are in the area and are looking for a challenging, yet beautiful course.

Upkeep, length, signs, layout.

Flat, could use more variety (mostly open).

The University of Alabama in Huntsville's disc golf course is long, manicured, and challenging. While the majority of the holes are open, trees do come into play, particularly on the front nine, and water makes for challenging OB on a couple holes. So the course does favor those with big arms for the most part, but also has enough holes with dangerous OB to require some strategy and control. Along with perfect signage, long concrete teepads, and great upkeep (at least when I was there, but I bet all the time), these factors all add up to a classic course for northern Alabama.

I was lucky enough to play this course just after the U.S. Women's Disc Golf Championship. So of course it was in peak shape. I feel confident, however, that upkeep is always one of the strengths of this course. The course is easy to find and is laid out over a considerable amount of land; fair par is probably in the mid to upper 60s. Most holes are picture perfect, but the course does lack variety to some extent, in that most holes are also mostly open. There are two woods holes on the front nine, and two water holes on the back nine, but otherwise nothing too tight out here. But you'll need a 400-foot arm to excel, otherwise you'll be looking at a lot of 4s. The only other disadvantages are that the course plays too close to roads in a few spots, and has no elevation at all, but even so this is a top notch course, based on its length and appearance most of all.

Overall, UAH is definitely worth playing. Just be sure to stretch your throwing arm ahead of time and carry your most booming driver (you may not need much else), and you'll be all set to enjoy this high-end disc golf experience.

Favorite Hole - #17 - Moderately long shot that must angle over water and landscaping.

Beautiful. Very well maintained. The flags on top of the baskets were a very nice touch that I haven't yet seen at other courses I've played.

The majority of the holes were far too long for a player of my skill level. After finishing one round my arm was killing me.

Bring your floaters. The two holes skirting the pond were actually two of my favorites on this course but if it wasn't for the Dragon I would have lost a driver on the first one.

very well kept, beautiful pond and scenery. lots of different challenges.

Lost a Frisbee on Hole 17, bring your floaters. The fairway is ridiculously narrow. Also, I highly recommend bringing a map your first time, the holes and following tees are a bit spread out.

This is a two time world championship course which which sits on the campus of the University of Alabama At Huntsville. The course is long and open, but far from easy. Roads, a stream, and a large lake make for some great OBs and obstacles. This course will test your distance and endurance as in its "long" setup several par 4s and even a borderline par 5 will force you to play smart and consistant golf. Its a bombers dream and forces you to have a great game off the tee and a great approach game as well otherwise you're gonna be left with a bunch of long putts.

There's not a whole lot wrong with the course. In the summer it can be extremely hot with our 95-105 degree summers and very limited shade (shule and shade only come into play on holes 4 and 7).

This is definately not a beginners course but it is a great challenge to players of all skill levels. There is almost always a wind which adds difficulty. UAH is a great complement to the other courses in the area (Brahan, Redstone, and Mastin all within 10 minutes of each other)
