Hole number 8 is great. There are 9 numbered baskets and 9 small pads. The park is great and clean.

No signs and to close to walking path.

For a 9 hole it is average. If you are right off the highway it is a good quick round.

This 9 hole course surrounds a small park ( Brighton ) going counterclockwise , starting near the tennis courts . Some parking in the middle of the park . Bathroom is close to the lot
The EQUIPMENT - There is a metal sign at the start of the course explaining the rules of the game . There is no signage on the course . You just follow inside or outside of the walking path that also surrounds the park . The tee pads a 6' X 4' cement . The baskets are Yellow banded Discatchers . Print the online map just to get an idea where the next pad is .
The TERRAIN - The course is mostly flat with some low hanging trees to force rollers , or possible flicking a driver under it . The holes are short , and after hole #1 , you kind of feel that most of the holes go left to right . This is a park style course . The grass was a little high because of the rain , but the park is well taken care of . There is a shelter in the middle of the park , with a kids playground . If you have the family , or just the kids , they can play and you will be able to keep an eye on them from every hole .
HIGHLIGHTS - Not a lot to astound you here . The longest hole , #3 , is a flat 288' , but you will have to negotiate low hanging branches from fairly new trees .
Disc Risk - There seems to be little chance of losing a disc . There is no water , and you would have to griplock your disc and throw it way into the woods or up into the trees to lose it . If you play solo , ther is a blind-shot 169' that is a hard right turn on #9 . If you don't step out to watch it after you throw and you overshoot it , you might have to search .
TIME - This is a 20 minute course if you play during off-peak hours . If the park is full , you could spend upwards of 30 minutes for it .
There was a large family playing in front of me , ages about 4 - 44 . It's kind of fun watching many possible future playes learning the game .

#1 SAFETY - The walking path comes into play on pretty much every hole but maybe #9 . Add the fact that the road into the park is dangerously close to holes #6 - 8 , and you might have an angry motorist that you dented their car wanting you use your putter for a suppository .
#2 Navigation - The only items that identify these tee pads are metal numbers that are on the back ends of them . In high grass , you can't really see the pads at all until you are on tome of most of them . You have really little showing you where the start of this course is .
#3 lack of equipment . Some signage that sticks up from the ground would be nice . I wish the tee pads were longer . You always want that feel that you can spread out on a decent sized tee pad . 4' X 6' is not it . Kids learning the game might run up and fall off the fron of these things .
#4 CHALLENGE - The holes range from a short 288' to a shorter 169' , with only 4 holes going over 200' . Not a lot of depth with this 9 .
The course is flat and may hold a lot of water after a rain . Plan accordingly .

The park is nice , and is still nice to introduce people to the game . Nothing wrong with that . I can see this getting pretty windy at times , which might lead to a hit child ( or adult ) exercise restraint when this park is full .
MY RECOMMENDATION - Only a place to work on your short game if you are an experienced player . This is better suited for newbies and youngsters , or families that wish to do something together . Recreational players may want to come out here and see how far under par they can throw . This is not a park you want to go out of your way to play . Maybe a quick leg stretch or something to do after visiting nearby Vicksburg battlefield .Still , a nice area .

Here are all the pros I can think of:

Discatcher baskets

Not all the lines are bad. In fact some are even good*

*if you remove the obvious hazards

This is where the bulk of my experience pertains.

Every hole has a hazard. You start with a tennis court and a walking path, and then stick with the walking path or the road on every hole, throw in a soccer field or something for good measure just in case. Also, the walking path seems to be used a lot, turning a 20 minute round into 30 or more easily.

The holes are listed as having pretty short distances, but man do they throw like a lot further. I'm pretty sure some holes were up to 50 feet longer than listed, maybe more. I was lickin my chops at these putter holes (200' or less is a putter hole for me) but even discing up to mids and chucking it I was coming up short on a few. By like 30-40'. Someone needs to remeasure.

It's muddy. It's muddy on the flat parts. It's muddy on the sloped parts. It's muddy around the basket. It's muddy around the tee. There's tracks on a couple holes, there's tire marks in the mud on some holes. Is this place some type of derby at night?

The tee's are not the smallest I've ever seen. And really you don't need much space. There's no sign, nor distance, some tees have a number on them. But you better see them on the ground or you won't find them.

I feel like there's more... hazards, equipment, environment... i won't go through why every hole was a disappointment but that was pretty much the case.

Hole 5 wasn't bad. It was probably my favorite hole. Hole 8 was ok too, but 5 really shined. I would put it at close to 280' or so.

This course could be a fun round. I was throwing into the sun the first few holes, getting surprised by the distance, and sloshing through mud. But even on a great day, I would have a hard time giving this course a 1.5 "Passable" just because of all the hazards. The tee pads and attempt at design would be passable, and maybe even a 2 to 2.5 on a pretty piece of land. But this course got crammed into a space it really doesn't fit comfortably.

I'd play Brighton Park again with a friend, but odds are slim I'd play it again for fun. Although, now that I know a little more about the layout, that I've gotta throw a lot more than I think, I am tempted to give this course another crack.

Course is well maintained
Good for beginners
It has never been crowded when I have been there

If has rained within a week the course will be flooded
Some baskets in disrepair

Like I said, this course is good for beginners but nevertheless a fun round.

-- Clean, nice-looking city park.
-- Players with any modicum of skill will have multiple chances for aces. The course is extremely beginner friendly, being mostly wide open with an average hole length just over 200 feet and with no holes as long as 300 feet.
-- Navigation is mostly easy. Once you find No. 1 (north side of the park), just continue counter clockwise around the park, mostly following the walking path. No. 5 basket is tucked into the trees to the right and is not visible from the tee. No. 8 plays into the trees between the one-way driveways in and out of the park. No. 9 plays completely on the north side of the in-bound road.

-- Two of the nine baskets (Nos. 2 and 9) are badly damaged. In both cases, the catching part of the basket has broken away from the post and is lying on the ground.
-- Most holes are really boring, with few, if any, trees, no water and no elevation. Shot-shaping requirements are almost non-existent. The first four holes are the worst of these, so you might be tempted to quit before you get to the moderately interesting holes (5, 8, 9).
-- There is a serious safety issue. Most holes play along a walking path that seems to get heavy use. Other holes bring the parking lot and roadways into play.
-- Ridiculously short (5 feet long) tee pads. Given that you have concrete pads, you are tempted to try to use them, but I couldn't do that safely.
-- No signage. The hole number is stamped/etched into the tee pad so that you know you at the correct pad, but there is no other information provided.

-- No. 9 is listed on here as 169 feet. It plays left out of trees and then requires a hard right turn to the basket, so it plays much longer. The bushes now are at the very end of the 5-foot long tee box, making it tight to even stand on the tee box, much less throw from there.
-- With baskets repaired and some trimming on No. 9, the back half of the course would feel more like a 2.0-disc course. Nos. 1-4 just bring it down. A redesign to add some length would help, but it's really just too open, and the walking path is an obstacle, and not in a good way.

(1.230 Rating) A super small city park 9.
- ACEABILITY - Skilled players will have a bunch of real good looks at an ace here. I'm sure that if there are any regulars, they racking them up.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - I believe this would be a great beginners and juniors course. The average hole length is about 215 feet.
- CHAINS - Well, at least they picked one of my favorite basket types. DISCatchers.
- FORGIVENESS - The odds of losing a disc due to an errant shot is near impossible. You'd have to forget to pick up to lose one here.
- NAVIGATION - I downloaded the map on DGCR and had no issues. The course circles around counter clockwise starting at one o'clock, if north is twelve.
- QUICK PLAY - A quicker solo player should be able to complete a full 9 in under 20 minutes. Groups of 4 probably would finish in under 45 minutes.
- MAINTENANCE - The grounds appear to be constantly mowed, trimmed and manicured. I don't recall seeing any trash on my visit.

The Brighton course excels at nothing other than a quick and easy going round.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - I personally played pretty bad for my skill level but I attribute that to having played 36 holes earlier in the day and over 200 holes in a 4 day span. The course reads upper novice level, and I think all recreational players should be able to average below par out here. The lines are completely open on at least one side or lightly wooded. Shot shaping is not a requirement and Advanced players will be able to play with just a putter.
- MULTI USE HAZARDS - Eight of the nine holes have either a park road or walking path in play. I stopped a few times for walkers and cars on my round. Hole (6) was the worst offended as parking was in play. People and traffic move, parked cars don't.
- CHARACTER - The course is mainly just baskets and small tees. No map or descriptive tee signs. Tees have just a steel number embedded in them. The tees are mostly un-shaded. There is also no seating at the pads, not that anyone would need it on this shorty. There is a small shelter with a picnic table. There is also a rules of the game and etiquette sign at hole (1).
- TEES - 4 feet by 6 feet long concrete tees. It's only long enough for a one step or standing drive.
- UNIQUENESS - The holes themselves in terms variety are very sub-par. A mostly open layout with trees almost always bordering the right side. All but one shot is short and they vary from 169 feet to 288 feet. One or two shots sort of pocket right, but really the whole course just needs a putter except for hole (9) which breaks far right. There is no elevation and water doesn't come into play either.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Not awful by any stretch of the imagination, but none of the holes will have you scrambling for your phone or camera either. I scored the course 1.5/5. The lack of trees, no water, no elevation and no inspiring backdrop views, led to my below average score.
- WIND - Due to the lack of trees, wind will likely be an issue here.

More of a 1.25 course than a 1.0 or 1.5. There's just not enough here to entice the masses of any skill level other than those with less than 50 rounds played. Players from outside the area, should only consider checking this course out if they're an extreme bagger like me.

This course is very easy to navigate. It follows the a walking track around the park. Also, Brighton offers 4 holes with a little difficulty. Hole 3, 5, 8, and 9. they are somewhat long and 9 has a dogleg left.
All in all this course has been kept up decently over the years.

The baskets have been found on the ground recently and the concrete tees are a little short. also, the one on 9 is a bit over grown. There is also mud 85% of the time on hole 3 in that huge field. Also this is the shortest course in clinton with all par 3. (according the the standards that we play) and the longest hole is 288 feet.

Well maintained. I love throwing out over the tennis courts on Hole 1 when there are preppy tennis players playing. Makes for great reactions. The city does a great job with that park....bathrooms are spotless, tables, picnic areas. I know guys, that has little to do with the course. BUT, anybody can join in and play. Had a good player with me and he used the day to try and add to his ace count. Best holes...love 9. And number 5 is fun. The rest are just bomber holes for the decent player.

Short...9 holes only.

Still love this course. Oh, when you play 6, ignore the tee box and instead climb to the top of the hill and throw from the backyard of the family up on the hill. Those people are super nice, and it makes the hole a blast to navigate.

-Clean, VERY well maintained
-Easy to follow course

-No benches or trash cans (on the course itself)
-Short

This is a great course to teach the game, but not very challenging. My recommendation, if you're in Clinton, is to start here... this quick little 9 will get you warmed up before tackling Buddy Butts DGC (and the 1000 ft+ Hole #3) or Flying Eagle DGC (Hinds CC campus, Raymond)

Located in a clean, safe Clinton park, Brighton provides a beginner-friendly atmosphere. Most holes are bordered by a treeline to the right. The course is easy to navigate and each hole has a decent tee box with which to work.

The first four holes in particular are adjacent to the park's walking path, which will undoubtedly cause a few delays in your game due to the many walkers and runners.

If you do so happen to throw into the woods on a couple of the holes, you may experience difficulty in finding your disc due to steep slope on number 3 and even thick thorns on number 6. Throw it straight and this won't be a problem.

Only one hole (number 8) provides any obstacles to the thrower, other than a few minor obstacles on other holes. A good flick on number 8, however, will curve right around the trees anyway. On all the other holes, a solid straight throw will suffice; so unfortunately, there isn't a need for many different discs or types of throws. The distance to the hole is very short on average at Brighton.

Despite the course offering little challenge to your average disc golfer, one can still enjoy playing at Brighton - every hole is potentially ace-able!

1) Course is fairly beginner friendly. It is mostly open, mostly short (200 or less on 7 of the 9 holes).

2) Course is obviously a well maintained park and it also looks well used. There were at least 1 dozen people here when I played, although I was the only one playing DG.

3) Concrete teepads are always a plus (also a negative below though because of size). They are also needed on this course as some of the tee areas are wet and muddy. Not sure if this is always the case or if a recent rain contributed to the saturated soils, regardless the tees take away some of this concern, especially because most of the holes are short you won't generally have much of an approach shot, just a run at your birdie.

4) Other park amenities include horseshoes, shuffleboard, tennis, playground equipment, a walking track, and according to someone else ADA certified playground. I didn't look in or around the building in the park but I would have to guess they have bathrooms and water available.

5) Grounds of the park are in great shape. The turf looks full (although dormant when I played). While there aren't many trees in play the ones along #8 are in good shape and do their job in protecting the only protected basket on the course. The perimeter areas could use some yearly attention to keep things from spreading or sticking out into the in play areas.

1) Course design was average, but they did about all they could with this property. The perimeter of this course was guarded by deep bamboo and other foliage, fences keeping you from a retention pond or also densely wooded areas. There were dangerous encounters with the walking path on Hole #1, 2, 3 and you throw along or near the road on holes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and across the service road on #4. All things that were unavoidable for this course to have disc golf, but also things that should always be considered and avoided at all costs. It does a disservice to the game and can do more harm than good.

2) Course is beginner oriented. There is minimal challenge on this course because it is short and there isn't much imagination with basket locations. You should never make more than a 3 on any of these holes unless you play the walk path and roads as OB.

3) Other manmade objects get in your way on multiple holes. #1 the tennis court fence could get in your way if you throw with any angle on the disc. A straight shot is easy here but I do not like other shots being taken away by manmade objects. #4 has a fence both to the right and long of the basket. It is tall enough to get in your head, but if you need to climb it I am sure you could, but you may also get tossed from the park for doing so. Same fence on #4 is on #5. #6 has a telephone pole and support cable in your way on a big anhyzer shot. #7 had the same thing.

4) DIscatcher baskets in ok shape but they all seemed to be too tall. Normally I am used to seeing the lock tab near grade, but these lock tabs were about 6-12" above grade.

5) Course is nearly all anhyzer or straight shots and this is due to the fact that the course raps around the park in a counter clockwise fashion. The only hole that would allow for a hyzer would be #8. #9 is actually about a 75 degree anhyzer around some scrubby trees.

6) No tee signs, no benches, and no garbage baskets on the course. The park was very clean however, so it may be taken care of with a maintenance crew but I would think putting a couple garbage cans at the tees would help out somewhat. Benches aren't essential because it is a 20 minute course and you likely aren't able to finish a drink in that amount of time anyways. The only identification on this course is the # on the Yellow Chastity Belt on the Discatchers, and the little # that is concreted into the teepad.

All in all this is an allright course. It is outside the metro Jackson MS area, but it could be helpful to promoting the sport to youngsters. While every city needs a short easier open course like this, this one can do a disservice to the game and promoting the sport because of the dangerous areas. I can only imagine what it is like throwing discs there in the summer when there are hundreds of people in the park. Hopefully the park enforces the multi-use aspect of the course and informs all people to be aware of others. Would I play it over and over . . . no, but if I was a beginner, wanted to teach someone the game, or had nothing better to do while I was in the area I would go play it again. There are a lot better courses in the area according to DGCR so I recommend those, but it is worth a stop if you have some spare time and are in the area. Head about 20 miles west and hit up Historic Vicksburg to see the Vicksburg Battlefield Museum or the National Military Park.

Nice Baskets, Concrete Tee Pads, Grass is mowed regularly. You can also really build up your aces on this course.

Very Short Holes, Baskets were installed incorrectly - almost over a foot too high. Course design is very poor - 8 out of the 9 holes are straight/anhyzer and wide open.

As a Clinton resident who lives literally 2 minutes from this course, I play it fairly often. However, I really wish some of the baskets could be lowered.

I rarely see anyone else playing there, but lots of track walkers often force you to delay your throw.

Safe park. Even though it's short, you still must throw with accuracy. No traffic background noise. Not busy when I played it on a Sunday at 4 PM. I liked hole 8 as it is the only basket that is guarded by a tree. Literally 30 seconds off I-20. If you are driving by with 30 minutes you can spare, there will never be an easier course to find and quicker course to get to. At sun down the lights around the walking track and some that line the park road came on and 4 of the holes were super lit and the other 5 were playable without a flashlight! Nobody playing golf from this site has ever been there at sundown to be able to witness this Lit 9 holer come to life. I am raising my rating to a 2 because of this rare attribute. You go Brighton with your bad lit self.

Only 9 holes. People hitting golf balls, walkers. It was soggy in places. Like most 9 hole courses, park has got a lot going on besides disc golf. Around 5 PM first 4 holes have blinding sun shots.

Overall I suggest you stop by and play here. Thank the Gods for disc golf, Keep the Mississippi courses coming. To be honest, I hold 18 hole courses to a higher standard. Probably because I naturally expect less of the 9 hole course before playing it, therefore easily being pleasantly surprised. Lit for night play!!!!!! I think the park closes about 9 PM.

It is set up in a pretty peaceful park. the park itself has a number of things you can do like play HORSESHOES! That's rare to me at a park. Think I saw around 4 sets of horseshoe poles. The course brings some OB's into play which makes it fun.... that is if you want to play the walking paths as "temp creeks" like we did. It has plenty of space to give you a nice upshot if you mess up on your drive. There is numerous ace runs...... well pretty much every hole is a ace run but a few. Very great course to practice your upshots for longer courses. I will even say peaceful again it was that peaceful. Oh yea and the bathrooms are VERY CLEAN which is rare for a park. So clean you could almost eat off the floor though I wouldnt recommend doing it...... ha

for starters the pins are way to high in the air.... they probably should have dug down another foot before setting the basket up. There is a few chances to get hit by a disc from other people... no doubt on the first 3 holes so watch it if people are playing behind you. Think it's number 2 where the basket is father away than the tee for number 3 which is a pretty bad placement considering people have to pass you on your box to play the hole behind you. The walking path that i mentioned earlyer also brings people into play as well on most of the holes. We had to wait for a few people walking or running to get out of the way before we could throw. There is a huge playground area there for little kids so if its a saturday or sunday that might be a problem if you can't play around loud noises. The tees are way to short on a couple of the throws that you need more power for... but it's not really a problem if you have a nice flat hyzer bomb already.

With a little work the course could be a lot better. Like for starters there is no signs next to the tee pads.... Instead they are layed into the concrete and then the par is stencil spray painted onto the tee. So when you first get there number 1 can be hard to find if your not watching for it when you pull in. It's over on the back right side of the tennis courts just to help out some.... If you are in the area this course is worth playing.. We drove from Ridgeland/Madison to play it and didn't mind the drive. We felt like it was worth the time it took to get there. This is a GREAT PLACE to practice your open up shot skills. that is if you make all concrete OB. If the basket is on one side of it you can't cross or if the hole has to cross it you can't land on the concrete as it's a "Temp Creek".... you don't have to play it this way as there is no signs to say whats OB and what isn't.... but it seemed to make the game a lot more fun for us..... Anyways.... get out there and ace one!

Convenience and great park. Well maintained by City of Clinton.

No obstacles and short. The tee pads are too short.

This is a fun and very easy course. It is great for beginners and/or children learning to play. I play there when I don't have much time and want to get in a quick 9 holes.

New course in a suburban setting. The baskets and teepads are good quality. Markings on the course clearly designate the hole. Good facilities.

Baskets are set too high. The course is short in general and lacks challenge or variety. It has only 9 holes.

Take away any one of my cons and this is a good course. The course is set in a small city park so space was limited for the design. The tee pads, although they're concrete, are a bit small. The holes basically circle the parameter of the park, and there's very little change in hole type. Most holes are flat and straight with little or no vegetation or obsticles. Holes 6 and 9 bend to the right while hole 8 offers some tall trees to navigate. The baskets are way too high by at least a foot to 18 inches. It's a shame because the baskets are nice Innova Discathers. On a positive note, the facilities are great. They are air-conditioned and very clean, and they offer some vending machines.

There are not many pros except the course is in a nice peaceful community setting.

Baskets are set very high. The course is way too easy. You will probably only need your driver on 1 hole. Every hole is ace-able. very few trees, no water, and no elevation changes.

This course is fun to play, but there are better ones around the area. I will only likely play it if I am actually in Clinton already. This was the first course I've ever played, and luckily I decided to play the course at the rez or I probably wouldn't have gotten into disc golf.
