Good but not great drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 5, 2023 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Tees and baskets were in good condition
- Holes had well placed trees to punish shots that miss the intended lines
- Many holes had multiple possible lines to the basket
- Navigation was relatively straightforward
- Long pins and tees add challenge, so this course is suitable for a variety of skill levels, though I'm not sure that the long tees and pins are "pro-caliber" (I'd expect the pros to shoot -9 or better even on that layout)

Cons:

- Some holes do have elevation change, but overall this is a flat course
- Not many memorable holes, they all just kind of blend together
- The additions of mandos and/or OB (where appropriate, of course) on more holes may make those holes more interesting. For example, the path on the right side of hole 8 could be made OB and trees on the edges of fairways could become mandos to discourage drives that land on other holes' fairways. Currently, it's pretty easy to save par after an errant drive.

Other Thoughts:

- This is a good park-style course, it just lacks any signature holes to make it stand out from other park-style courses

The Frog Park Disc Golf Course Is Nicely Shaded With Multiple Layouts Ready To Challenge Your Game! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 11, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

PARK DESCRIPTION - Frog Park, aka. Suggs Park, aka Austell Park, is a medium sized green park with a nice canopy of shade trees. There is ample parking at the start.

VARIETY - With both red and blue tee pads and two baskets for each hole, players can play the course four in different layouts.

ELEVATION - Almost none but # 15 did have a very slight downhill to it. I guess you would call it Frog Park's "Top of the World" shot.

CHALLENGE - Playing from the long Blues often adds 100 feet or more to the hole. Somewhere between a challenging recreational level with a couple of intermediate challenges added.

EQUIPMENT - The tee pads are nicely large, trapezoid shaped with a wooden border which is painted either blue or red. The short baskets are silver DGA models with the always hard to read red numbers. The longs are blue Prodigy models, also with numbers. There are benches at the longs

AESTHETICS - With the lovely shade trees, wooden bridges over the low spots, the park has kind of a relaxed zen feel to it, more Japanese Garden than Disc Golf Course.

FUN FACTOR - With no underbrush and no water hazards, beginners/rec players should enjoy their round here with no chance of losing discs. Better players play the longs for more challenge and the regulars can switch up their choices playing red to shorts, red to longs, blue to shirts and blue to longs.

ROUTING/NAVIGATION - There is a kiosk at the start with map. The course loops back after both nine and eighteen holes. Take note of this Hopkins Park designer. I asked for a little help the first time through and also pointed out a tee pad or two for a group following me, also playing here for the first time.

Cons:

Navigation was just a little tricky in places. I asked for help finding one pad and another asked me where # 3 was. The ease of navigation is probably at the 95th percentile of all the courses I've played.

Alright, it's flat but the wonderful shade trees more than make up for that. There are no holes that wow or even one that I will remember next week.

Other Thoughts:

This course is one of those "It's what it is courses." It's not trying to entice the advanced to pro players. It's not long even from the blues to the longs. It's just a very clean and comfortable round, playing level from recreation to upwards intermediate, excellent for these Georgia summers.

Actually, I should have just signed my name at the bottom of Shadrach3's previous review. His review probably sums up Frog Rock DGC more eloquently than any blather I could conjure up.

Some areas seem to be known for a certain type of courses. The Chicago area is well known for it's preponderance of flat, nine hole rec courses. The Charlotte area is known for it's tough advanced level courses like Nevin, Hornet's Nest, Renny Gold and more. After playing courses around Atlanta, I'm thinking Atlanta has a large grouping of fun, 18's that are tweeners, that is, they're more challenging than a recreational level but fall short of being called intermediate level. Courses I would include in this tweener 18 category would include; Frog Rock, Oregon Park, East Roswell, Wills Park, Suwanee Creek, Little Mulberry, Fort Yarbo, Mathews, Rosewood- DeKalb which is at the lower rec level, Deer Lick and many others I haven't had the pleasure of playing.

Much of the Same 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 14, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

An accessible course with good basic offerings.

-Amenities: Concrete tees. Mix of Prodigy and Mach III baskets for the two distances. Detailed tee signs at every tee, which also have little gold stars to mark current pin placement. Taped spokes and next tee signs around as well. Bridges over low-lying areas to keep feet dryer.

-Multi-Tees/Pins/Baskets: Two tees per hole, with two baskets per hole, and most holes also have multiple pin placements for both the long and short baskets. Blue to blue (longest) is a solid intermediate challenge with usually over 300' and some trees to go through, while red to red/grey (shortest) is significantly easier.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: Good par-3 offerings with a steady diet of loosely associated, mature trees. Not a bombing-type course, but every basket has multiple plausible lines and requires good speed from the longer tees. As a rec player topping out at 320' I barely had birdie opportunities from the blue-to-blue configuration, but that was probably an error in tee selection. The creek was used nicely at the end of the course. The par-4 was nice, but none of the holes really stood out to me except perhaps the 410' par-3 on (12), which for me was a fun two-shot hole with a thoroughly-guarded green that requires drive placement.

-Playability: Frog Rock is open enough that it's hard to lose discs, but also shaded from Georgia sun. It's also well-kept, so really no environmental hindrance to playing.

Cons:

So much of the same theme.

-Repetitive: There is virtually no variation in terrain or style at Frog Rock. Though the reasonable-length, moderately-treeful shots are good, it's the only kind of shot you'll throw from the tee all day. Yes, there is variation of straight/left/right and some variation in shape, but there's so much flexibility that by the time I got to (7) I was already a little antsy for something different, which I never got (other than the par-4 hole (8)).

-Navigation: There are often multiple tees in sight from the basket with little indicating which is the next one to go to. You can figure it all out, but could very well take extra time hopping from pad to pad.

-Drainage: Not a lot of elevation change here, so water can pool in certain parts of the course.

-Safety: There is a walking path you'll probably have to stop for. Depending on how busy the course is, you'll also need to be aware of golfers on adjacent fairways.

Other Thoughts:

Frog Rock is one of the least diverse 18-hole courses I have played. However, its basic theme is quite good for rec and intermediate players, and friendly to newcomers to the game. It feels like a 2.75 course, so for now I've followed my rule of rounding towards the middle. It's one of those Typical courses that's plenty of fun but nothing spectacular.

Good for Reinforcing Fundamentals 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 14, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Quick course, great for working on approach and short game. This is a good course for beginners, long drives are not necessary for low scores. The lines off of the tee can help newer players work on accuracy, particularly lefties.

Cons:

Very compact, errant drives will end up in other holes' fairways. When busy, this course can feel a little cramped. There is little in the way of variety in holes.

Other Thoughts:

Bring some bug spray and some durable discs. Inaccurate drives have a high chance of colliding into a tree. Restrooms are decently maintained.

Compact park course. Wooded 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 19, 2020 Played the course:once

Other Thoughts:

Very fun course dispite not covering a large area. The course plays in a very wooded park. The trees are present on every hole, and force you to chose a tight line from the tee box. The trees are not so dense to create tunnel shots but rather tight curving shots which creates a great challenge. Overall I was very surprised by how much fun this course was to play and would recommend it especially for intermediate players. My round occured right after a rain shower and the course was an absolute swamp. Some baskets were entirely surrounded by water. Bring boots or wait for it to dry!

Specifics:
Holes: 18
Navigation: slightly confusing
Difficulty: intermediate
Length: Short-moderate
Enjoyableness: high

Ribbiting Options 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 23, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

(2.847 Rating) An older and moderately wooded landscape with a nice overall feel.
- DUEL PINS AND TEES - The two baskets at each hole must have been a recent upgrade, and it adds a touch more to the variety and replay-ability for this course. IMO, a two basket and two tee set-up will make any course better as long as everything is spelled out in the signage. The baskets are different styles too with the long placements being a newer Prodigy basket and an older MachIII for the short baskets. With the two tees and two baskets, there are four options on every hole. In addition, there are a gazillion extra basket placements. It seems like most holes have four or five placements now.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - Due to the pro above, this course should draw a wide swath of skill levels. l would predict to see Advanced players working on their short game lines but also Beginners learning the game.
- QUICK PLAY - GMcAtee and I bagged the course in 61 minutes. I figure 45 minutes for a quick solo.
- FUN FACTOR - This is probably a busy course. There are ample opportunities for birdies. Errant throws are not further punished even though there are lots of older trees to weave around. The odds of losing a disc is near zero and for the most part, just about no areas where you'll have to search in the overgrowth. Seems like the perfect league course.
- CHARACTER - Well Above average. As noted, duel tees and baskets. Adequately sized concrete tees. A vast majority of the tees are shaded and wind protected. Benches are at most tees. There's a community board with an outdated course map and a couple tables.
- NEW TEE SIGNS - Although not installed yet when I visited, I believe new tee signs were just installed. I've seen pictures, they look great.
- NAVIGATION - With the new tee signs, navigation should be even better. In addition, there are tons of navigational cues between holes using light switch face-plates. What a bright idea.

Cons:

No major detractors with Frog Rock, but wow does this course feels the same all the way through.
- UNIQUENESS - For an almost fully wooded course, one of the lowest courses I've scored in terms of variety among that style. Basically all moderately wooded shots the weave through a tall ageing pine and hardwood canopy. Sure the lines will cut left and right, but the surrounding elements are always the same. The lanes are moderately defined. Pockets to skip into are either loosely defined or non-existent. There are no water elements to contend with. Just one par 4 that will be an easy 3 for skilled players.
- ELEVATION - Very little out here. Maybe 3 or 4 holes dive or climb by around 10 feet. Among the flattest courses that I've played in the Atlanta metro area.
- SPACING - The boundaries between fairways, as mentioned above, are undefined. Discs will no doubt find other fairways. This is not the course to strap on headphones and be oblivious of other players on the course.

Other Thoughts:

Frog Rock has all the elements of a being an excellent league course. Unfortunately, there is not much intriguing about this course. The golf aspect here is decent and I'm sure the local vibe is good too. It's almost identical to one of my local courses in Huntsville called Brahan Springs, minus the duel tees and baskets. Like that course, this is not a course I would send you to if you were visiting Atlanta for a day or two. I've played 17 courses within 30 miles of here and I'd rank this one 10th among that group.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Average. A +75 year old canopy occupies 100% of this layout, and it looks really nice on first arrival. However, after you run 3 or 4 holes of what seems like the same backdrop, you'll realize that the course has a real monotonous feel to it.
- CHALLENGE - The difficultly out here long to long is north of average. As an Intermediate player with about a 920 rating, I'm sure I'd average around even par from that configuration. Advanced players would likely massacre the course.

Extremely Confusing but Beginner Friendly. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Extremely beginner friendly. I have played a total of 3 disc golf courses, and this course had just enough distance and challenge to keep it fun without becoming discouraging.
-Great amount of shade. This course is almost entirely wooded/shaded, which is nice if it's too hot out to play in direct sunlight.
-Practice basket was located right out front and the green space provided a decent area for warming up.

Cons:

-No signage. We found ourselves looking for the next tee pad after almost every hole. Very little signage was available, which resulted in a lot of frustrating walks to and fro as we searched for the next tee pad.
-Mosquitos. With the wooded areas come mosquitos. Be prepared with bug spray!
-Lack of challenge/obstacles. There was not a lot of variety on this course. Very few uphill shots or downhill shots. All of the holes were incredibly similar.

Other Thoughts:

-I would recommend this course for someone who is just beginning and needs practice. The holes are not too challenging, but they provide enough distance and a few obstacles to help you start to get a feel for your drive, approach, and putt.

Solid Course, Not a destination 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 16, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Well Kept Park
-Friendly Area
-Well Thought out Holes
-Free parking
-95% shaded (great for hot summer days)

Cons:

-Signage could be a lot better
-Course layout is a bit tricky holes 2,5&10 tough to find.
-Basically one flat elevation the whole course

Other Thoughts:

By no means a bad course with 2 large (15-20 feet long) poured concrete tee pads per hole and adequate tee maps at each hole. But I feel there were a few more features of the park that could have been used to make the course so much more dynamic. 2 large boulder formations are little more than eye candy you pass by and are not involved in the hole layout at all. It may be the flattest course I have ever played. If you are nearby go play it but don't drive more than an hour to play this one unless you just need it to play everything in GA.

Grass is high and needs to be cut 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 6, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is conveniently located to our house.

Cons:

The grass in the park is not being cut regularly. The maintenance crew is keeping the grass cut at the entrance, but not inside the park. Isn't that what tax dollars are for? We played disc golf every day last summer in this park, but haven't this year because of the tall weeds and grass. Very disappointing!

Other Thoughts:

It's been almost a month since I wrote my last review. The grass and weeds in the park are knee high. I will not play disc golf here because of this. It really is a shame.

More of the same 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 24, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Frog Rock offers a nice atmosphere for some enjoyable recreational disc golf. Located in the Louise Suggs Memorial Park, the course is peaceful and the canopy of trees provides privacy.

Each hole offers three possible pin locations, and some black bucket-like markers make it easy to identify which pin location is in play. Each hole also features two teepads with red (short) and blue (long) indicators.

The "Next Tee" markers aid the navigation, which isn't difficult, but there are a couple holes where the direction of the next hole isn't obvious.

Cons:

Nearly every hole is the same. Most holes feature a similar distance with some sporadic trees slightly blocking your path to a randomly placed basket straight ahead. There is rarely a clear indication of the best path to the basket. As reviewer GoobyPls pointed out, the fairways are "loosely defined." Since 18 holes are shoehorned into this location, there isn't much room for dogleg left and right designs. And there's almost no elevation either.

The footing during winter could be difficult. With the ground covered by leaves and pine needles, traction is at a premium. I felt like I was walking on ice in spots. Also, with the tree cover, the course is slow to dry and is susceptible to muddy conditions after a bit of rain.

There is a path around the perimeter of the park, so be on the lookout for walkers.

Other Thoughts:

To find the park, follow the Directions under the Location Details. The park is on Spring Street, but my GPS balked at trying to find the course without an address number.

Frog Rock is a nice course in a nice park. The course is a good choice for beginners. But the lack of originality factors greatly into my rating.

A fun Rec-level round 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 5, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is located on mostly flat ground with tall, mature trees throughout. With little undergrowth below them, it's very easy to find your disc. There's a practice basket as well as a port-a-john by the first tee. There are bridges to deal with the water that can accumulate in the stone-lined stream areas. The park mostly caters to disc golfers; there were a couple of people walking their dogs on the paved path that circles the park, but that was it. The course rewards left-right control, with multiple paths to the basket. There's usually a tree or two in the way of the most direct line from the tee, encouraging the use of that forehand or anhyzer shot you might not use that often.

Each hole has two sets of tees, providing an appropriate challenge for both rec and intermediate-level players.

Cons:

Most of the holes are very similar; a loosely-defined fairway with no real punishment (other than clipping a thin tree trunk) for missing your line. Experienced players may find this course a bit too easy. There are few elevation changes to deal with. No real wide-open bomber hole to speak of, along with no water, but that wasn't really under the designer's control.

Some holes are right on top of each other, and others require crossing very close to another hole's fairway to get to the next tee.

Other Thoughts:

When I played this, the board at the front of the park indicated pin positions that didn't match up with the actual positions according to the tee signs.

The lack of undergrowth (at least in the winter) made for huge skips on the forest floor.

This course seems to be very lightly-played. I don't understand why. While it's not a huge challenge, it does make for a really fun casual round.

Flat, Shaded Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 4, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

The newly added back nine makes this course somewhere to check out in the area. In the hot summer, the entire course is shaded from the get go so it's not as miserably hot. This being said, there is somehow clearance. Somewhere that is that shady would sound like it would be completely dense with trees. Somehow this isn't the case. It is a wooded course throughout, but plenty of fairway for any skill level.

There are signs with distances and all basket positions on the map at every tee box. There are also a few navigational arrows on trees. The tees are large and concrete. There are two tee boxes for each hole and also areas where the park staff can change up the basket placement (not sure how often this is changed since I've only played it once). When I played they were in the b position. You can check the position of the basket on the news board as you walk in. Each tee also has trash cans and I believe a bench at every tee.

There is a practice basket and picnic table at the front of the park. For the most part, the park is solely disc golfers. There is a walking track that flows along the edge and never in the way, but I saw 8-10 cars in the lot and nobody on the track when we played.

Not a knock on the course, but it's apparently rarely played so you may have the course all to yourself. We played on Labor Day weekend are there were only 6 or 8 others on the course.

Cons:

In the summer as well as the course being low flatlands, the bugs were pretty annoying. I however did not bring bug spray.

It would also be nice if they had some sort of bathroom/water fountain area as there is nothing of the sort there.

The last minor con was my particular dislike to the baskets. They are in fine condition and it may be personal preference, but compared to the Innova, Prodigy, and Dynamic baskets I've played, these seemed strangely small.

Other Thoughts:

Baskets are sometimes hard to locate from the tee. Painted a portion of the basket or using flags could possibly solve this.

A few more signs in between certain holes would help like from 11 to 12, but other than a few issues like that, the course is nice.

Some parts of the course will flood long after it rains and stay muddy ... specifically holes #4 - #8 - recommend waiting at least a few days to play after it rains

Lots of mosquitoes here - definitely wear some repellent before playing

Some parts of the fairways are rough to step on

DGA baskets are hard to locate at times - be nice if they all had flags

Mostly flat but there are slight elevations on some holes

Other Thoughts:

This is one of my favorite courses to play. I like to give a big thanks to the city and the designers of this course. With all the trees and not so short distances, I do find this course to be challenging. The addition of the back nine holes in 2015 completes it and makes it even more fun to play. Be sure to wear some insect repellent for this course!

Attractive course, now a full 18 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 11, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course give a very good first impression as you approach.

Ample parking, picnic area, porta potties all in good repair.
The teepads are great! Large tapered affairs surrounded by wooden beams that are painted to denote the color layout you are playing. These may be red or blue(red=short, blue=long). The back 9 does not have this yet, but I don't think it's been in the ground that long.

Many benches dot the holes, and the signage is quite good and accurate.

The baskets are new DGA baskets, and catch quite well. They have 3 possible pin positions and are currently in the B position which is noted on the board by the course map.

The course appears fairly well maintained and though the elevation is minimal and the only water are small streams the copious trees make it a very challenging play.

Some of the most direct lines are through small gaps with copeses on either side, making for some mind games to find your route.

They did a lot of things right with this one, and the park as a whole is quite nice.

Cons:

Looks like it holds some water in spots, but the course has several bridges to help with that.

The baksets are all silver and can be hard to see at some junctures.

No elevation to speak of and the trees are really the only element adding another element.

No real gripes about the course, it just doesn't have that X factor that makes you say,"wow that's a great course!"

That's not a knock on it though, they made the very best they could with the land they have.

Other Thoughts:

Overall well worth a play. It's a great place to bring a group since it's pretty big, not very crowded and walking distance to the best BBQ in the area.

I will be back and might try to play some of the events they hold there occasionally.

nice, quiet course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 19, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-never have to fight a crowd
-although mostly a short course, the amount of trees keep it from being easy
-nice hole layout signs at each blue tee
-there are multiple approaches to the basket so you can try something different if you play through more than one time
-addition of back 9 made this a better course

Cons:

-can be difficult to navigate the first time there. New holes suffer from the same problem. Next upgrade should be signs pointing to the next tee
-on some holes, it is a little cramped where the tee box is too close to the basket of the previous hole, and this is with very few people on the course. I could see tournaments being a mess here.
-be careful of several small holes in the ground all over the course or you could twist an ankle
-don't go left on hole 16. It is a jungle and you will never find a disc. I know from experience
-some of the distances on the tee signs don't match the pictures. For example, the sign may say B is longer than A, but the picture shows the opposite. I think the distance is correct and picture are what is wrong

Other Thoughts:

-Make sure to check the large bulletin board at the start of the course to see which pin location is being used on the given day. If you know which of the three it is, you only have to use the signs by the blue tees to determine your distance.
-Just a fun little course

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice concrete pads
Lots of shade
Almost never busy

Cons:

Difficult to navigate
Extremely flat course
Little to no "rough" or penalty for errant shots
Only 9 holes

Other Thoughts:

Frog Rock provides a relatively straightforward version of disc golf. It almost feels like what it would be like to have baskets in your back yard. There are plenty of trees spread out relatively evenly to the point that you don't get a "fairway" feel but instead more of a "which trees to go around" kind of vibe.

The concrete pads are great. They are flat and generously sized and pointed in the right direction. The red (short) pads generally just felt like shorter versions of the blue pads and mostly didn't change the dynamic of the holes.

There are nice tee signs (at the long pads only) that state the distances to 3 basket locations (6 distances in all with red pads) which feels a little overwhelming at times, especially since there is no marking system in place to let you know which pin is actually being used. That was usually frustrating, and so was throwing from the red pads with no tee signs at all.

The layout of the course feels confusing. There are no signs pointing to the next tee at the baskets. To get from hole 2 to hole 3 you have to walk across hole 9 (near the pads). I (and others I witnessed) initially walked toward hole 9's tee thinking it was the closest one so it must be hole 3 then realized it was 9 and figured I must have gone the wrong direction. After turning around and wandering around to other wrong tees I finally wandered back and found hole 3. To get from hole 4 to hole 5 you have to backtrack a good bit (half the hole or so) and to get from hole 7 to 8 you have to backtrack the length of the entire hole. To get to hole 9 you have to walk past another hole up a small hill back toward the parking lot (you can't see the pad from 8's basket).

The course has a nice secluded feel to it. I saw a deer last time out and some others have seen a baby deer and some snakes.

I enjoyed playing the course. Some of the shots were really fun to throw including but not limited to the par 4.

They are currently working on installing the back 9 holes and it will be more worth the trip when these are complete. Looking forward to updating my review then!

Pros:

I enjoyed this course, it's a nice little 9 hole course. When I played it I played it twice from both tee pads to make a full 18. It's still pretty tough from the short pad.

I looks like it's maintained pretty well, I hear the maintenance crew is a bunch of disc golfers themselves so they take care of this little course pretty well.

I has a nice practice area to warm up on.

There is a good variety of shots at this course. Each hole has a few different lines you can take so it caters to different throwers.

This course is in the woods, but there is grass everywhere and no little trees just big trees. This is a feature I wish every course could do because those little trees are sneaky.

This park is nothing but a walking trail and disc golf course so you basically have the whole park to yourself.

Cons:

My only con to this course is that it is only 9 holes. I'm sure there is a plan in the future to make it a full 18 and I will be excited to play it if that happens.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great little course, it has some really long holes and is a good workout. I would defiantly recommend any one to play this course.

Pros:

Nice little course. Tee pads are great and baskets are great. Its lightly wooded with pine trees peppered around the fairways. Distances are good ranging from 200+ to 600+. I would love to see the course get another 9 holes.

Cons:

Signs pointing to the next tee are desperately needed. Bugs suck, but there is nothing to be done about that. Needs another 9 holes.

Other Thoughts:

Great course. I would recommend it to anyone of any skill level.
