- Variety: Ole Miss has a good bit of diversity and can be split up into sections. Holes 1-4 play flat with tight, yet open fairways due to woods on the left and OB soccer fields on the right. Holes 5-9 play as a technical loop up, across, and down a hill beginning and ending in the same spot. Holes 10-18 play through technical woods with elevation and are typically short. The shortest hole clocks in at 132. Holes 19-22 remain technical but trade the elevation for flatter terrain. Finally, Hole 23 is a relatively open long bomber.
- Tee Signage: Very detailed metal tee signage is featured with all pertinent information. Hole number, par info, distance, OB, woods, obstructions, and next tee info. Below the signage is an additional "Ace List" that you can sign with a sharpie. I think this is a really fun addition that you don't see very often. Unfortunately, signage was missing on 18 and 23 but hopefully this will be remedied.
- 23 Holes: The more disc golf, the better. Many of the holes featured multiple pin locations as well. This can make for quite the varied experience over time.
- Trash Cans: I counted trash cans on 9 of the 23 holes. This is a great amenity to have particularly on a college campus where some "pre-gaming" might be occurring. The course is well kept.
- Navigation: A first time player shouldn't have any issues as long as they are able to find the first hole. after that, navigation is a breeze. Next tee signage at times helps this. A course map would be a nice addition in this regard.
- Turn: This course makes somewhat of a turn (across the street) at #15 tee. This is convenient if you want to grab anything, use the restrooms, or just start your round at #15 if the course is busy.
- Elevation: This course has really fun elevation and gully features at times. Flat holes thrown into the mix add variety.

- Tee Pads: I'm going to have to list tee pads as my biggest con for Ole Miss. They are all over the place. 8 of the 23 holes feature concrete pads that are very short. 10 of the 23 holes feature rubber mats that are not level at times. Finally, 5 of the 23 holes are natural dirt and can become muddy after a rain. The installation of all (longer) concrete pads would be the biggest single way to elevate this course in my opinion.
- Transitions: The walks to #1 and #10 are longer than average. #1 can be hard to find from the parking lot. Walk down the farthest left fence. Some navigational signage would be a big/easy improvement here. The walk to #10 is also a strut but well marked.
- #19: Just an unfortunate hole in my opinion. Plays right beside a busy road to the left. I imagine beginners constantly hit cars and have their discs run over on this hole for this reason.

Not pros or cons:
- Staging Area: Ole Miss has a few amenities in the parking area but they are very spread out. Restrooms, trash can, practice basket, and community kiosk are all featured but in very different areas. There is also a kiosk at #10 for some reason. A course map in the kiosks and navigational signage to #1 would be great additions.
- Benches: I counted benches on 3 of the 23 holes. If this had been zero, I would list it as a con. With the elevation in parts of the course, more benches would be a really great feature to add.
- Baskets: The baskets are older Chainstars that are in good enough shape. New orange visibility tape would be a good improvement. The hole number on top of these baskets are intact and nice.
- Underbrush: This can be a big factor on many holes. This neither a pro or a con in my opinion because the chance of losing a disc is balanced with the added challenge of forcing precision shots.

The trying part of playing the 23 hole Ole Miss Course was finding the thing . I couldn't find the intramural fields , my directions failed , and the students on campus were oblivious to the course . Someone finally helped me ( Thanks ) and pointed me to the back left of the campus . Finding #1 wasgoing to be a trick , and since I found a couple of baskets and a tee pad , I wandered up in the woods and started at 15 . Ole Miss has the older Chainstar baskets , but they catch well and are numbered . The tees are a mix of cement and rubber mats , which look like they can get slippery and dangerous , especially in the woods .But the University Of Mississippi or Southern Nationals Disc Golf did a great job of cleaning the course up and changing the tee pads from the old framed dirt tees to the present concrete and rubber The course DOES have great signage with hole number , distance and flight path . The reason I say it's great is because under the description is a little metal extension that says Aces , and people can put their names down if they ace a certain hole . Fantastic idea . There are several trash cans and benches along the course route . I also like the idea that the course is 23 holes ( 23 ? Who does that ? Ole Miss Does !!!!! ) There is a kiosk at hole #1 , and according to a sign , a new #1 hole . The course wanders in and out of the woods . It plays tricky hyzers and anhyzers along fence lines and tree lines . There is one throw away hole that I remember . I think it is #4 which is a straight shot filler hole right before going up into the woods on your left . There is a lot of elevation here , and Ole Miss uses most of it . After going up and down 5-9 on the left woods , you cross the road and go to 10-18 in the second set of woods . . These holes go up and down and are basically short , except #15 , which pops out of the woods and throws along a brush line 265' to a basket tucked into a part of the woods , There are nice tight but fair lines to these particular holes . After #18 , a 171' downhill throw to a basket with small trees guarding it ,Throw past and you might earn a 4 . you cross the road to #19 , which is the first tee pad you see when driving down to the intramural fields . It is an uphill grade 342 ' throw to the basket which is sitting right inside the woods line . The road and the hill the road sits on is to your immediate left , and a brush line greets you on the right . You will then wander in to holes 20-23 in still a new part of the woods . 20-22 are shorter more precise holes that will favor control , like most of the holes on 11-18 . #23 is where I guess you should walk back to the kiosk and hole #1 . It is more of an open air shot that wraps around a large bush and goes hard right . You actually see a basket directly in front of you with the bush guarding it to your right , but that basket happens to be the putting basket . I guess you warm up there before walking the fence line next to the intramural fields . I hear that this course is still a work in progress , and if that is so , it's coming along well . several memorable holes are on this course . #19 as mentioned , #23 as mentioned , and a great finishing hole , #1 , a good right to left coming out of the woods to the basket . #7 a downhill right to left shot , #8 195' back up the hill , the #9, a downhill door shot out of the woods and to the immediate left to a basket buried behind some bushes .. My signature holes would be the combos of #9 followed by #10 , a tight lane straight shot to an elevated basket on top of a giant piece of cement pipe.

#1 trying to find the course in the first place . I was over so much of the campus that I was issued a student I D . Some signs directing you to the course would be great , as also where the course starts . #2 Maybe some clearing of foliage . The Disc Risk is high is parts of this course . You don't want to turn off the students from burning a little steam by losing a $20 disc in thick brush . #3 The course can be a fright to play if muddy because of the dirt and the elevation . Make sure you spray some bug repellent during the summer months , and check for ticks when finished . also beware of the poison ivy and such in the brush . Lots of it . #4 A couple of the holes , #'s 1 , 2 ,3, 4 and 23 are chancy to land into the intramural fields . I don't know how much they are used , but ,,,,, Don't start a fight with a bad drive . Be smart .

ole Miss is not a championship caliber course in disguise , nor does it pretend to be . I have been on many college campus courses in my travels , and this one has come a long way and is very unique . Not flashy , it still gives you a dose of woods with tight lines , keeps the average student engaged by not clobbering him with long unattainable holes , and will give you a good workout with its elevation changes . If I was back in college again , I would enjoy having a course like this on it . I might even start up a league . AND , the fact it is an odd numbered 23 holes make me like it even more . I would have really liked to have made it a 3.25 rating , but I had to round this up because of the long road upwards that it has endured . Thanks , U Miss Campus , for letting me play your course .

Overall this course was reasonable. It had great aspects about it. It's a great course to develop you're throws requiring accuracy and you get to work your mid/putt game.

But the negatives highly out weighed the positives.

The course is not kept well and the pictures that you see on this website, need to be updated. (I would totally do it but I don't plan on going back out there anytime soon) It seems that after 10 or so years since the course was constructed, other trees and branches, that weren't a part of the original course design, have contributed to the difficulty and challenge of the course. Lines that you once could take are difficult to see through, much less throw! I think all this could be revived if a work day could be assembled.

There are tee signs that are missing. Finding the next hole isn't that difficult but hole 15 was challenging to find.

The biggest problem with this course is the way the course will stay with you after you play it. I'm talking about poison ivy/oak/sumac and ticks. The vines are everywhere and I'm sure the ticks are too. I found one on me. IF you happen to be a recreational player, such as myself, and happen to hit a tree or two throwing for your line, such as myself, you'll need to chase a disc or two, such as myself. The under bush is dense and it'll cover your disc and makes finding it challenging.

So for me this was the killer. That I could potentially end up with poison ivy/oak/sumac or some irreversible disease from a tick bite. This unkempt course will nevertheless, put you in those situations with a higher probability. For me, I'm just out here trying to have some fun, not make my life more challenging than it already is.

***The course has been updated and improved several years ago. Please don't rely on the old reviews.***

This is a pretty straight forward course when first looking at it but offers alot more challenges than it appears to have. It has lots of elevation changes that give the course some character. The course has good lanes all the holes and challenges accuracy by being moderately wooded in the rough. If you use the O.B. that is easily seen this course can become alot more challenging. This course also has an active disc golf group that helps players get together daily for rounds called FlickNation so it is easy for travelers to get a round in with locals. On most of the holes the discs have to fly much further than the distance on the sign and the optimal routes aren't so easy to hit which makes the course a challenge to all levels.

Some of the cons are all of the tee pads aren't concrete and on holes 6, 8, and 17 they are really uneven with roots in them which cause footing issues. I will say that the course could use a few more longer holes added to its arsenal. Another con for this course is that Ole Miss charges so much to put a tournament on at the course that it doesn't hold any tournaments.

The course is mostly wooded technical shots but does offer some chances to let the disc fly. I played with some pro players and they didn't do as well as these previous reviews were making it out. This is a challenging course for all levels.

23 holes, Only 5 that are over 300ft, Really makes you focus on technique and form over power.
Great baskets and changing elevation that allows for uphill and downhill shots. Convenient for all students and residents of Oxford. Intermural fields can be used during the day and at night for field practice.

**Updated:**
Some of the teepads have been moved around recently, some of which have improved holes, but most of which have flawed design. Trees directly in front of the teepad are really fun for the majority of your group to hit.

Our doubles rounds usually come out around -8 to -12. Our best round was -18, absolutely on fire. As has been stated, there are only 3 holes that require you to go for big distance, #'s 3, 19, and #23. All others should be within fairway, midrange, or driving putter territory. Accuracy is key!

- Disc golf on campus. I would have loved it when I went to school!
- Some nice holes since the 2011 upgrade.
- 18 + holes

- No risk/reward design elements to be found. For the most part, if you don't birdie you can definitely par.
- Many really rough, uneven tee boxes.
- The few holes which feature challenging design elements favor RHBH players.
- There's a "goofy golf" feel to some of the older, wooded holes, like they didn't take into consideration how discs actually fly. There are bizarre short doglegs that don't make for natural shot shaping.

They've got a decent location for a course. Also, they apparently have the permission to cut some trees, and manpower with which to do it. They desperately need a pro from Tupelo, MS to come over for the day and help this course with some design. Tupelo is about the best place in the state to live and play disc golf. They need some of that great design magic here at the University. There's a lot of potential here.

BTW, bjreagh's signature hole is gone with the redesign due to campus construction. It's really a shame, but with the addition of the newer holes that play around the south and west sides of the fields, the course is better overall than it was.

This course has been somewhat redesigned in the past year. The front 9 holes are very good holes that are well designed. A good score on the front 9 is about -4 for an am but even is not a bad place to sit. The back 9 are very short but fun holes as the gaps are a little tight on a couple holes. A good score on the back 9 would be about -6 for an am but a pro should easily shoot -9. The other 5 holes are very neat holes that require some accuracy. Hole 19 goes a long the road and is a big flick or anny at about 320'. The next 3 are technical holes which require you to hit the gap. The last hole, 23, is a flick No look flick. An am could shoot -6 at this course. There are garbage cans and benches spread throughout the course. Nicely kept for It to be on a college campus.

Unfortunately, there are some cons of this course. There are concrete pads on 7 of the holes but they are only about 3 1/2 feet long. The other tee pads are covered in roots and are very unlevel making it hard to get a good run up. Also, the back 9 are very short, longest being 160' and the shortest being about 130'.

This course would be a fun course to play a casual round and with a little work could be tournament caliber. I hope everyone can come enjoy this course. Hole 9 is a very cool hole as it throws over a big creek to a basket that is tucked to the deep left.

First off, read bjreagh's excellent review just after this one. He is more of a local and has a lot of good information that I am not going to repeat.

Hole 14 is the signature hole and plays very challenging as it doesn't give you much of a birdie possibility. You either have to throw a HUGE spike hyzer RHBH or else lay up at the base of the hill by the gap in the woods and shoot for par.

As far as dirt tees go these are very well done.

I also really enjoyed what I think was hole 9. It shoots over a big gorge like riverbed and out to a fence with the basket at the end. It was challenging to put it out far enough and keep it accurate enough to play the gap just right and have a shot at birdie. You can very easily end up at the bottom of the pit and have to climb down to retrieve your disc.

This course lacks length and variety. It is mostly back in the woods and very short. It could be pretty difficult for someone just beginning. The tees need to be concrete as the elevation and possibility of slipping are much higher in this setting. I will say though, for dirt tees, these do as well as any I have seen as they are boxed in to help prevent erosion.

Come ready to climb all over the place as this course is full of hills. It has some variety of open and forested but the majority of the course is back in the woods. Fences help if you like throwing rollers on a few of the open holes, especially hole 18 as a backhand roller could make for an easy birdie.

Ole Miss is an 18 hole course with excellent baskets. The course plays mostly in the woods with a handful of more open holes. Elevation is used effectively to add the challenge of what is a fairly short and easier course. The wooded holes can be tight, but there is usually some semblance of a fairway. A practice basket is isolated in an open area across from the parking lot near (but not in the way of) hole 1.

The signature hole is #14- you tee off from a hill, throw out into the open, OVER THE ROAD, and up to the basket located on a hill on the other side! (Be sure to look both ways before teeing off!!!)

This is a great course for the college students to get a round in between/after classes.

There is large parking area. Very nice restrooms nearby. The parking lot appeared to be open parking for all- that is no parking permit/permission required and no tickets/tow aways/the boot, etc. as is the case for some college courses.

The natural tee pads are pretty worn. I played after a rain and some tee pads were mud puddles. The course is pretty easy for the seasoned disc golfer as most of the holes are pretty short. There is an ROTC course mixed in the with the course on some of the holes, and could interfere if it were in use. (I guess it could add to the challenge of climbing the wall if discs were being throw at them while they climb!)

The biggest con for me was the high volume of quick playing, 1 disc, college kids in large groups. I have never seen a group of 7-8 people play so quickly! Many times they would throw into you while you putting (and remember, this is a short course!) I guess maybe they had to get their rounds in quickly before their next class or the frat parties begin! I felt rushed the entire time. *Note- I played on a weekday afternoon.

The course is set in a piece of land that is off the main campus, so you are not actually playing around the buildings like is the case on many college courses.

There are some decent holes (1,3,14,15,18), but the other 13 holes are your typical short, tight woods holes. Again, this is a great course for the college kids to have a place to play, but if you are a serious disc golfer looking to play on the road, skip Ole Miss; there are plenty of great courses in northern/central Mississippi to choose from.

*Directions note- If you go by the DGCR directions, turn left at the soccer complex like it says and stay on this road for a ways (it looks like it goes nowhere, but eventually you get to the intramural fields and disc golf parking lot.) I would recommend coming in off of Hwy. 278 and exit right onto Jackson Ave. Then turn right onto Mall Drive and the parking lot will be straight ahead at the sharp curve in the road.

The Baskets are in solid condition. There are a decent variety of shots needed. The course plays up and down and around a hill. After it crosses the campus road, it flattens out. The throw over the road is a pretty neat hole. Dangerous, but different.

The course design is really basic. The natural tees need some definite improvement. As has been previously noted, there are roots that are exposed on the tees. This makes the course a little treacherous. The course is crowded by college disc golfers. They will rush you if you are a casual/seasoned player.

The course had its plusses and minuses. It seemed a little "gimmicky" with such tight woods. Luck is definitely something you want on your side at this course.

Let me start this next paragraph by saying I encourage growth in disc golf as much as anyone else. I think it is great that campuses install courses as a feature for the students and other visitors. However, if you like to take your time, think about your lines, and enjoy the experience of a course...Ole Miss DGC is not for you. We were in a group of 4...and we really don't play very slowly. We were passed by at least 5 groups with 6 or more players. Each with only one disc, flinging them at will. With the holes as close together as they were, you can get on the tee pad and here a "whack" into the tree about 10 feet away. On the hole over the road, we allowed two guys to play ahead. They threw their discs over the highway...and were pretty close. While they were on the next tee, two of my buddies parked their tee shots with their putters. (we were playing RIPT to add challenge to the course) Those guys just stared with open mouths. It was kind of funny to watch their reaction.

In short, I hope many of these kids grow up to play a lot of disc golf, but most of these kids are just looking for something to do. If you are an "etiquette"-loving person, you will probably leave this course pissed unless you play early in the morning when nobody is there.

There are bathrooms in the intramural complex which are fairly close to the course. There are also a few benches scattered throughout the course.

Very logical course flow, and a good use of the available terrain. The course makes you use a lot of different types of shots -- I used more forehand throws in 1 round than I have used in over a year playing Central Park in Southaven, MS (my home course). Trash cans are fairly prevalent (every 2 or 3 holes) and the course has been kept fairly clean. A few holes on the Front 9 have alternate teepads that change the way the hole is played or bring certain obstacles more into play. A few holes (such as 17) offer multiple paths to the basket.

The natural tee pads can be sloppy after a rain and roots are present in some of them (putting in concrete pads is going to be a chore, though). Just watch your step or throw without a run-up.

Several holes can be considered "tight", but a line is there if you look -- you may just have to throw something other than a RHBH. # 1's basket placement is "unique", to say the least. # 14 is a throw that will make you (and possibly others!) pause for a moment in consideration.

Good baskets. There are a few good holes to practice on, but the best use of the land is probably the nice, flat distance field nearby and the practice basket to putt on. Holes 1, 14, and 18 are decent shots, but the rest of the course is best played by newcomers.

The tee pads are natural, with big roots coming up in a few of them, and can get quite muddy when it rains. The course is stupid short with a lot of retarded shots, and super tight gaps. There are no benches and the course does not loop around at the half way point.

This course is on a college campus, so it gets decent play and it can be a decent course for new players to learn on. However, I would not recommend this course if you are a seasoned disc golfer. I'm glad they have a course on the campus to help introduce new college kids to the game, but the course could use a good renovation by an experienced course designer. There seems to be some potential, but only if they use it.
