From a "fun" perspective, none better in Nashville

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 22, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Always plenty of parking by both hole 1 and 18
- One of the best flowing courses in Nashville with minimal walking from hole to hole and the end right by the start
- A variety of pin locations including a short basket on each hole for kids/novice level players. A great course to learn on and also to play for your very first round
- Tons of different shot shapes and a decent amount of elevation changes.
- Some holes have a variety of different lines to take and some pretty much force one line which provides for varied difficulty
- A couple of open holes in 1, 17 and 18 to balance out all of the wooded holes. 1 and 17 are 330'+ which is a very welcome change to most hole lengths.
- Very fair gap hitting in the wooded holes, the tightest gaps are on holes that are short enough for the hole to still be reasonable. 11B and 13B are both super narrow sub 200' holes that make for a fun challenge.
- Baskets and teepads are in decent shape
- Efficient layout that makes for a pretty fast round provided there are no backups
- Never too crowded--it's not Seven Oaks. Even if you get stuck behind a big group its very easy to skip the next hole because they're so close.

Cons:

- Very heavily trafficked by pedestrians, there are walking trails throughout the entire course. Not always a con per se but you do have to be mindful as the paths go quite close to a few holes
- Proximity to the dog park can be somewhat annoying as you will deal with some barking and yelling on holes 1, 16, 17, 18
- Some ditches and drop-offs along holes 8, 9, 10, and 11 which can make disc retrieval dangerous and when its muddy brings messy falls into play
- No bathrooms, no water, trashcans aren't the most plentiful
- Without the UDisc map it can be easy to get mixed up from holes 11-15 since they are so tightly clustered.
- The downside of the efficient layout is potentially throwing into other holes, groups, pedestrians, etc. It also limits the course in terms of hosting tournaments as it creates more backups and hazardous throwing situations.
- The park has two entrances and sometimes the gate by the course is closed which results in a 2-3 mile drive all the way around the hole park to get to the course parking lot which can be a bit annoying.
- There really isn't a practice basket per se, you just have to putt on 18's basket and move if there are people playing the hole. Same for a warm up field now that there is a ton of construction around 18.

Other Thoughts:

To me 4 stars is the ceiling for a non championship-level course so this gets pretty close. I've had a ton of fun with this course, it's way more about gap hitting than distance which if you don't have a big arm is great. There are tighter lines, longer holes, more elevation changes and more interesting challenges at all the gold standard Nashville courses (Cane/Cedar/Oaks) BUT this course is king in terms of the "fun" factor. Plenty of ace runs, holes that aren't too long and a round that can be done without strenuous exercise and 2+ hours.
I think with better amenities and rejuvenated tee pads on all the holes (some have been done in the last year and look awesome) this gets to 4 stars.

Pros:

This course has gotten much better in the past couple of months. There is a crew of locals that have been doing a lot of work to make it a better course and it is working! Its different than anything else we have in Nashville. The shots are short, but they do not get boring. It is almost an hour drive for me to get to White House, but worth the drive a couple times a month for such a fun course.

Cons:

No benches yet. The only complaint about any holes would be the short one with a fence to someones back yard pretty close. I can definitely see people over throwing the basket and going into the yard.

Other Thoughts:

Already a solid course, but when it gets some more miles on it i think it will be a must play if you come through Nashville!
