Dog Hill

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 6, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Land is phenomenal. Trees and elevation are abundant. A lake is on property. While you don't have a water carry, you throw toward the lake, and you've got a creek/ditch in play. Only holes 1 and 2 could be described as flat. The other 16 have elevation changes of at least 10 feet and many have elevation changes of at least 50 feet.
-- The best holes are 7 and 8. Seven is 326 feet downhill through trees toward the lake. Eight (412 feet) tees from a small peninsula in the lake. If you try to start two steps behind the tee to get a longer run-up, you might slip into the water. The hole is flat/open for the first 75-100 feet before going uphill into trees. Other good holes are 5, 6 and 15. Five is 321 feet seriously downhill along a gravel driveway with thick trees on both sides. Six is really short but you've got a 10-foot cliff 30 feet in front of you, so you're throwing uphill to a basket on a plateau. Fifteen is a big downhill throw through trees to a basket near a small creek. Ten is a fun putter ace run, about 150-160 feet through trees over a valley.
-- Baskets are numbered, but it's a small tag hanging from the bottom, so you can't see it from more than 20-30 feet away.

Cons:

-- As with many private courses, infrastructure isn't great. Baskets are cheap (mostly Axiom Pro); tee pads are small rubber mats not in great shape. Signs are large numbers tacked to trees. That makes them easy to find, but there is no other information. Sometimes that means you are not only throwing to a blind basket, you are walking halfway up the fairway to find your line.
-- No map.
-- No restrooms.
-- No seating at tees.

Other Thoughts:

-- Course mostly feels isolated, but hole 3 plays alongside a major 4-lane highway.
-- This is a shorter course. Only one hole is longer than 400 feet and seven are 201 or shorter. Two holes check in shorter than 150 feet. Big-armed players aren't likely to enjoy this course as much as I did.
-- The course is at someone's house. You must contact owners (662-803-5262 or jaytee33@hotmail) ahead of time to schedule a tee time. You'll need to complete a liability waiver once you arrive.
-- The gameplay here is first-rate. With improved infrastructure (baskets, tee pads, signs), this would easily be a 4.0 course. The lack of distance likely keeps it from ever reaching 4.5.
