Other Thoughts:
This course is truly a fun course to play, when there is no one there. This course/small park is one of the few things to do in Farragut, so you get a lot of kids/people hanging out and/or enjoying a casual round + the play 5+ times a week discgolfers. Lots of people for a small area, so its hard to play a quick solo or duo 9.
Since this course has two sets of tee, it makes it a great course for teaching, beginners, kids, etc.
I give this course a 2.5, but on a 1-5 scale of just 9-holers, it would have to be a 3.5 or 4.
Hole 1)Wooded fairway. From the long tee, it's a sharp RHBH hyzer ~200ft with low ceiling. Can't see the basket from the tee but you will when you walk past the short tee. Long tee pad is small! From the short it's a pretty short pitch as you can see the basket straight on through wooded fairway.
Hole 2)Wooded fairway. Slight RHBH anhyzer from the long tee. ~240ft. Short tee shot is similar to hole 1. Can see basket, mid range shot straight on. Wide fairway, but going right can be bad.
Hole 3) Wooded fairway to gap into open grass area. Slightly downhill. From long tee slight RHBH anhyzer. Short tee can see the basket straight on, but still shooting through gap. One of the tougher holes as if you mess up before the gap, getting your 2nd shot to the pin for a putt could prove difficult.
Hole 4) Wide open fairway. Both tees are same shot but long is just...longer. Slight downhill wide open shot with basket tucked in trees. A big RHBH hyzer, or strong RHBH straight shot with overstable disc to let fade in to gap which is left.
Hole 5)Wooded fairway. Straight, narrow, low ceiling. One of the harder holes. Tees are same shot. The long tee probably plays as the toughest hole on the course. ~290ft, narrow, trees everywhere both sides.
Hole 6)Tees give slightly different shots. But either tee allows a putter to be thrown on anhyzer or hyzer line. It's short, downhill, with a lake 2 ft past the basket. It's a very risk-reward shot. You always want to be shorter than long. I've gone sprinting down the hill to jump in the lake several times. Lucky thing is it's not too deep, so I have always come away with the disc I've put in the water.
Hole 7)This hole plays the longest on the course at the long tee. Wide open straight shot. Flat elevation. ~380ft. But the road is on your right and it's very easy to put a disc in the street and/or hit a car. The short tee is up the hill so it gives a slight downhill straight shot the basket. But too much power can still end up in street.
Hole 8)Most uphill hole on the course. This is a hole where the short tee might play harder than the long. The long is wide open RHFH flick hyzer for me. Wide open with usually a birdie putt. The short tee has a huge tree 40ft from tee making it a tight RHBH hyzer up the hill in between the tree and shrubs/trees/fence on the right. Or a super wide out flight hyzer around the left of the tree. Basically that tree makes the short tee much harder.
Hole 9)Open fairway with basket ~400ft from long tee. Shots play the same from both tees. Long is higher up hill so a little more a downhill shot. Maybe longer than 7, but doesn't play like it since it's downhill. Straight shot to the basket that is tucked into trees that start at ~300ft. Throwing to 260-300 and going far left or right will turn out bad. You'll be in the woods. Right is way worse, so don't throw right! Easy to lose discs in there.
I've played this course 15+ times and lost plenty of discs so here are some holes to watch out on: holes 3,5,6(water),9 are some of the easier holes to lose discs.
