nice use of elevation. restrooms in park. navigation is easy.

only 9 holes. no tee pads. all holes short

I really liked this course. It was a quick play and fun factor was high. I'm an old guy and can't throw very far so the lack of long holes not an issue for me. I was playing with 2 guys who are way better than me and they liked it as well. we were all surprised the course was rated as low as it was. That's really what prompted me to write the review. I read wellsbranch's review and h lays it all out and i highly respect his reviews and opinions but here i disagree with him. I play DG for fun and this course was fun. We played 10 courses in huntsville and I enjoyed this one as much as any of them and more so than most. For a quick fun round it's great.

- As many other reviews state, this course is great for beginners. This was the first course I played with real discs, and I enjoyed it much more than UAH, which I played some of later in the day.
- The course is always mowed short, with no litter.
- Impossible to lose a disc, unless you get it stuck in a tree on Hole 1.
- Great use of elevation. Every hole except hole 5 uses elevation in an interesting way. Hole 1 is a long downhill with branches overhead. Hole 7 is a very steep uphill with a small landing near the basket, and holes 8 and 9 use the uphill to make the holes feel longer.
- This is a friendly, casual course. You can play through it 3 times in a row easily, there is no intimidation, you never have to drive more than 200 feet, and it just feels relaxing. All together, this is the "chillest" course I have played to date.
- Not at all crowded.

- EDIT: The baskets are much better now!
- EDIT: The new layout is shorter than before, reducing the already minimal difficulty even further.
- The holes are all short and some feel repetitive.
- With a playground and a road nearby, missed shots can be dangerous to other park-goers. Be careful on holes 1, 4, and 6, especially.
- No tees, just small poles labelled with the hole number.
- As the course sits between a road, playground, and soccer fields, noise can be a distraction.
- EDIT: Baskets are now in great shape. They used to be badly damaged.
- The layout is confusing, as there is no signage, no obvious flow, and multiple baskets always within sight. Use the map in the "Links/Files" tab, or be prepared to walk through the course before you play.

This is a fun course for a quick play through, but don't expect a challenging layout or long drives.

BE SURE TO VIEW THE MAP ON THIS WEBSITE BEFORE YOU PLAY.

(1.419 Rating) (REVISED - replayed June 2023) A family friendly park with an awesome playground... and a not so awesome 9-hole course.
- CHAINS - New MVP Black Hole baskets were installed in fall of 2019 and it was desperately needed. The old baskets were the low-quality Instep brand that were falling apart. They had left one on (9) for awhile, but new construction removed it in 2023. I doubt it's coming back. Not that it mattered. Anyways, I raised my review score about a quarter of a point, just for the basket upgrade.
- ACEABILITY - So short that aces seem inevitable. The new baskets will catch a much higher percentage than compared to the old baskets. Not as good as Pro 28 DISCatchers though.
- FAMILY FRIENDLY - An open to lightly wooded layout with little overgrowth and no hazards. Losing a disc here would be next to impossible. The course is very beginner friendly. Also, lots of other park amenities in addition to this beginner friendly disc golf course. There's an awesome playground for kids aged between 2 and 10 years old.
- NAVIGATION - New tee signs were installed in summer 2020. By 2023 several were banged up. The signs are distance and hole number only, but this is still superior to the numbered posts that were here before. The map I made and posted a few years earlier is slightly outdated, but it will still help on the transitions.
- QUICK PLAY - I once pulled off back to back solo rounds in 35 minutes with a near empty park. My first round here however was plagued with a park being full of people. Running the layout in 30 minutes or more could happen when a gazillion kids are walking around.
- ELEVATION - Nothing major but I am surprised that this course is above average for the area in grade undulations. Hole (1) is a 20-foot down shot. Hole (6) has a 10-foot gulley right of the basket. Holes (7) and (8) are both up about 20 to 25 feet to the base of the tennis courts.
- MAINTENANCE - The grounds have been in good to great shape for 8 of my 9 of my spaced out visits. No trash or piles of dead branches on the ground. The park staff must come through weekly to keep this park in tip-top shape.

A few notable concerns with Dublin Park.
- SAFETY HAZARDS - The thought of nailing a car or park patron really never left my mind on my first two rounds here. Roads are in play on several shots; (1), (2), (4), (5) and (6). I've waited on all of those holes for vehicles to clear. Also, lots of kids running around everywhere. There is really no way to fix these issues other than reducing the amount of holes. There just isn't enough room here for ideal spacing. In addition, several basket and tee separations are too close IMO. Sometimes they are separated by less than 35 feet. The entire layout feels squeezed.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - Way too easy for the vast majority of players. MA3 level players will probably even find the challenge a bit too light for their liking. The course was made even shorter when the new baskets went in.
- AMENITIES - The course lacks just about every extra amenity found on the older established courses. No community board or on-site course map. No seating, no practice basket, no trash cans or alternate tees. Hole (9) has two baskets.
- TEES - The tees are natural without a defined line. Apparently, there has been enough play here in the last year that the implied tee boxes are beginning to pit.
- HOLE VARIETY - Among the Huntsville area courses, I scored the hole diversity here as the fifth lowest. Ranking just better than Kent Robertson Park, Lil Calhoun, Stavemill and Greenbrier. Dublin Park is mostly an open layout with a spattering of trees. There is a little bit of elevation to contend with and its usage is above average for the area as noted above. Baskets are lightly guarded or not at all. All par 3s and the longest hole, (9), is less than 250 feet. No water features, doglegs or twisting holes either.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Not an eyesore by any means, but you won't find any photo's of Dublin Park gracing the centerfold of Play Disc magazine. On a hole by hole basis, I'm not sure if I'd rate any of them even average for beauty. Way too many man-made objects in view from chain link fences, to playgrounds, to roads. It's an uninspiring mix.

Dublin Park is a sub-par course. It has a really small footprint, lies in a multi-use park and has all the typical issues associated with courses of this make-up. The new baskets and signage has definitely helped make Dublin become a nice beginners course and thus it's now worthy of being a low-end 1.5 in my books. However, other than the beginner angle or parents with small kids, I'm not sure who else would play here. Well... I guess a bagger like me would. Somehow I've managed to rack up ten rounds here. Perhaps I'm a re-bagger.
- CONSTRUCTION - I hope this is a temporary condition. My June 2023 round had to contend with 3 pulled holes, (1) thru (3). The playground was being upgraded. Hopefully everything will be back in a few months. If the baskets don't come back, Dublin drops to a 1.0 course on my ledger.

Some mild elevation, a few trees for obstacles.

Still very, very open overall, without any challenging shots.

The baskets are the defining feature of this course, and that is not a good thing. Even slow, floating putts can knife clean through and out the back, regardless of angle. My home course has handmade early-80s baskets that had to be retrofitted to double chains, and they are absolutely luxurious compared to Dublin Park. Missing a perfectly clean, slow putt that should have stopped dead is frustrating, and it is for that reason that I can't try to justify this as a beginner course. If that had been my first experience with disc golf, there might not have been a second.

Signage is lacking. Tees are numbered, and the baskets are too, but I couldn't even tell there were numbers on the baskets, much less read them, from the tees. Finding the next tee can be interesting.

Natural tees.

Try not to bean any walkers and/or children on the playground.

Could very possibly be better as an object course. Never thought I'd say that.

If you do want somewhere in the area to play as a beginner (or to take a friend who's just learning to play), try Brahan Spring.

If you happen to work at nearby Research Park and you happen to get discs sent to your work and you want to test out some new putters and mids, this course happens to be close by and is pretty good for that. Or if you live in Madison, the same applies.
Grass is always nicely mowed
You are very unlikely to lose a disc

There are absolutely no signs to indicate where the holes are in relation to the tees and there is nothing but a little plastic fence post to tell you which tee you are at. The baskets only have little stickers on the pole to tell which basket it is. It took me visiting two or three times to figure out the layout at all.
The baskets suck. They are single chain homemade things that don't catch putts very well at all.
Finally I don't feel like this is a very safe course. If there happened to be more then one person playing, a number of the fairways cross over each other. There is a playground near by and there are frequently walkers going by on the road at the bottom of the hill that you throw down multiple times.

Unless you need a quick warm up putter round or you just have to bag every course you can, don't bother.

Short and nice for a warmup

This park has NO way to know if your going to the correct basket. The course has no layout i could figure out. Your best guess it to try and stand where theres beaten down grass or dirt spots to know where to stand and where your throwing. Even thats flawed

Dont bother to go to this course unless you plan to be disapointed

- It's a DG course in a very nice looking park.
- Grass is mowed.
- Other than some fairways being a little close to each other there really are no serious safety hazards.

- Signage...lol wut?
- No teepads just cheap little plastic fence posts with numbers on them.
- Not only are these baskets cheap but many of them are in sore need of some TLC.

This is a classic example of a park district or park department (or whatever it happens to be in this case) trying to shoe-horn a 9 hole course into an impossibly small area for as little money as possible - at least that's what this looks like. This course is also a fine example of the concept that not every plot of land in the world is a good spot for a dg course. I see the designer work here though, it appears to me they did the best they could with what little they were allowed to work with and made the absolute most of what is here. Unfortunately, with the lack of maintenance, bad baskets and disappointing lack of appropriate signage I can't give this anything more than a 1. Poor is an apt description compared to the other courses I've played. Some previous reviews state that this is a good place to bring a newb to introduce them to disc golf. I completely disagree especially with courses like Bahran and Mastin in the area - those are much better for that purpose. If I were introduced to the sport with this course I would've walked away and never looked back.

Go ahead and mark my review as "not helpful" because unless some serious hard-core improvements are made I will never waste my time coming back here even if I just happen to be in the Huntsville area. If I lived across the street from Dublin Park and gas was $10/gallon I might be tempted to come here once in a while.

The other reviewers have pretty much summed it up well. This course is a decent place to take someone for a quick introduction to the sport or to practice with your putters and mids.

You won't lose a disc here or wack a lot of trees, but not all the holes are gimmees. There is a bit of challenge, particularly with the last three hilly holes and that factor does keep me playing here on occasion for variety.

There are no teepads and the baskets are pretty weak.

You really want to play with someone who knows the layout, because it'll be very frustrating trying to navigate the course otherwise.

If you happen to be in town and have played all the other courses first, then give me a shout and I'll guide you on the course. Otherwise, you might want to consider something else to do with your time.

Dublin is good for a quick warm up round, or a first time round for newer people to the game. Holes are short so it is easy to get a good score for those who play alot, and easy for those who are just starting out to build confidence. The park itself is a nice place to play and there are a couple trees scattered around for some shade. It can be played 2 or 3 times at once pretty quick.

The first time you play it is hard to figure out which basket you are playing to and where the next tee is. The baskets have numbers on them and the white plastic tee marks do as well. The course can easily be walked to figure out where everything is before you start. The baskets aren't the best. They are very flimsy and single chain, so expect some to bounce out everynow and then. Also, cars tend to park in fairway 1 which can be bothersome. Fairway 1 is slanting down though and for the most part the cars can be avioded.

If you don't come to this course expecting a heated round between you and your friends then you will be disappionted. However, if you just come to have fun and maybe play only midrange and putters then it will be a more pleasent experience.
Tee 1 which can be hard to find is one the right of the playground on the street you drive in, and hole 9 is on the other side of the playground.
Give this course a chance and don't expect a serious competition and it can be alot of fun, and a good warm up for the other courses around.

Located in a very nice community park with plenty of parking, restrooms and a gigantic kids play area. The course plays along a sloping area isolated from other park activities. The course flows well and is a great place to introduce beginners to the game or play a round with the kids. Although the course is pretty short and repetitive, it is actually laid out nicely with just enough trees and elevation to present a decent challenge. While the first six holes are all in the 175'-200' range, the final three holes are in the 250'-275' range and play considerably longer because they are uphill.

The baskets are the least sticky I have ever encountered. I had four or five putts smack the middle of the chains and go right through. The baskets are single-chain and very lightweight, almost as if they were homemade. The support poles are very thin and most are leaning. The only way I could get a putt to stick was if I managed to lob it into the basket rather than crashing into the chains. The tee pads are natural and marked by a short PVC post set in concrete with a vinyl sticker denoting the hole number. Despite the compact layout and the fact that every tee is immediately following the previous basket, it is hard to follow the intended layout. This is because when you stand at any tee, you can see all nine baskets. I twice finished a hole only to realize I played to the wrong basket--fortunately it is a short walk back!

On the day I played, the winds were gusting about 20-25 MPH. Under those conditions, it was maddening to place a drive within 15 feet of the pin only to have a nice putt go right through the chains like the basket was simply an illusion. I must have tried 25 practice putts after I finished my round and only two of them stayed in. With better baskets, this would actually be a pretty nice pitch and putt. As it is, it is just a way to bulk up your "Courses Played" list on DGCR.

This is a neat little 9-hole course that is new to the Huntsville scene. It is located in a well-kept park and plays through an open hillside with mature trees. The major pro of the design lies in the use of elevation. While the throws are not difficult for seasoned players at all, beginners will be able to test their game with some uphill holes. Plenty of Ace opportunities and a couple of trick pin placements. (side hills)

The baskets are single-chained. Since the layout is short and relatively close together, there could be issues if the course is busy. There are no tee pads. This is not a con because they are needed; it would just help to point out the correct target. There are tee posts, but they offer little direction and multiple targets are visible from each tee.

This is a nice little cool-down spot. If you've played a grueling layout like UAH or Indian Creek, it never hurts to stop by this park and play a quick 9 to feel better about yourself. The course could be played easily in 20 minutes if you happen to be alone. Just take a neutral mid-range and a putter and enjoy. Breaking 18 is definitely possible at Dublin Park.

The park plays around a nice playground and tennis courts. There are park roads that can be a danger if you happen to shank a shot...but it would have to be a really bad shot.

After playing with my friends, we discussed how every disc golf town needs a course like this. Beginners will not be discouraged with difficult holes and will not get in the way of more seasoned golfers at the better courses in the area. Courses like this also serve as decent mid-range practice for advanced players. This course is a good addition to the Huntsville scene, and it fills a needed niche. If you're a beginner and you live in Huntsville, give this course a shot. If you're an average player and passing through the area, just go play the better courses in the vicinity. Huntsville has a course for everybody.

This is a great little introductory 9-hole course for beginners. It is also good for casual players who view a quick round of disc golf as just one of the many activities to do during a day at the park. The park itself is nice and is located in a good part of town. Though mostly open there are your standard isolated trees to avoid. The holes have varying distances, and get progressively longer from start to finish. Elevation is the biggest challenge here playing both up and down decently steep hills for a small course like this. It does not take very long to play a round here- about an hour as a group or 25 minutes by yourself. Experienced players will have the chance for many ace runs and may consider this a par of 18-20.

No permanent tees, you just tee off from somewhere around the post marking the hole #. Hole distances were not given. Each post did have the hole # on it, but it was inconsistent as to which way it pointed. The less-than-desired single chain InStep baskets had numbered flags, but they were worn and torn and hard to read from the tee area. So for navigating the first time through you might have to make a short jog to the basket to see if it is the right one. The holes are relatively close together, especially the baskets in relation to the next tee, and are close to the playground and the tennis courts and the road, so all need to be cautious as the majority of people playing here will not have the best disc control.

This would definitely be a place where I would want to take somebody to play for the first time. Dublin is not too hard, but not boring, quick to play, no chance to lose discs, and no intimidation factor. Every town needs a course like this to get people introduced to the game and to give casual players and families an option that is more suitable for their needs.

Experienced players will want to skip this course as there are so many other good options for disc golf in Huntsville.

Hole #1 is a little hard to find, but it runs along the road that goes up to the parking area for the giant playground. Basket 9 is the one you will see closest to the corner of the parking lot when you park. Just walk back down the road past the playground and you will see the first white post.

This is the perfect course for going out on your lunch break and getting some mid-range work in. the cool thing about this course is that you can make up your own holes by picking a tee and looking around and just pick a hole to throw at. I enjoyed it.

Only problem i had was there were some kids hanging around one of the holes and i had to skip it.

Well kept, pretty park.
Good course for children and people who want to practice putting.

Kind of obvious that the disc golf course was put in just for the heck of it. Poor baskets, no tee pads, extraordinarily short.
Some of the other reviewers suggested bringing beginners there, but I would rather take them to Brahan Springs in Huntsville.

Not a course that I would ever play again, but I appreciate the effort in trying to spread the sport. For what it is (an extremely short course with little technical difficulty), it's passable. There is a lot of room around the park, but they might have concerns with hitting the hordes of pedestrians that are in the park 98% of the time.
Any experienced players in the area should take the 5-10 minute drive over to Indian Creek instead.

Very well kept. Great for a fast game of disc golf. The best place to take someone who has never thrown a disc before.

The baskets only have an outside chain. The pine trees grab discs out of the air. Sometimes cars park in the fairway of hole #1. There aren't any trashcans on the course. Mostly in the open field so no real obstacles and it gets pretty hot.

This course is what you make it out to be. Sure if you play all 9 holes (which you can do in 15 mins) and it will be a short lived and mostly boring experience. But what I usually do is play the 9 holes and then switch it up and play from tee-box 1 to pin 2, or pin 9 to pin 7 etc. It adds a great twist to the little course.

Nice little beginner course in well kept park. The course is very short, but elevation changes on nearly every hole help keep it interesting.

The course layout is pretty easy to follow. There are two and a half foot tall portable white posts marking the grass tee area. It doesn't look like the course gets a lot of use so the grass around the tee area is in nice shape.

Hole 7 is a short, but fun turnover shot up a big hill. The rest of the holes are straight or hyzer shots.

This course is what it is, a short easy course designed for new players and families.

Overall this is a nice course for beginners and families to get out and play. If you can throw over 200ft, don't expect a challenge.

First of all, the course is not mostly flat, it's mostly on the side of slightly, sloped hillside. There wasn't one hole that was flat. It's set below a children's play area fort and some tennis courts in a small wooded area. I've never seen these baskets before. They're made by Instep and they are made of the thinnest guage metal (with single chains) that I've ever encountered. Thus far, no goofy teenager has climbed up on one and bent it all to hell. The course is very short but four holes do play uphill adding to the difficulty. It is a perfect place to bring the beginner or for the neighborhood 5th graders to learn to play. There are no teepads, just white posts with a number on them. There are a few trees to throw around.

I looked long and hard for the # 9 basket but couldn't locate it. I asked a maintenance worker and he looked at me like I was green with an eye in the middle of my forehead! The white tee markers are freestanding. A teen prankster, not really being malicious, could really screw with visiting players like me by moving these around.

This is a decent little course for what it is, that is a Pitch & Putt or a beginner course or maybe a total recreational course. I can always see the purpose of these types of courses and appreciate having them around. If I lived in this neighborhood, I'd be over trying to rack up the aces or trying to shoot 9 under.

Nice variety of shots. Good for a quick game after work or for beginners like me.

None for me yet. Still learning. I figure that experienced players would need more of a challenge.

Got my first hole in one here!

I gave it a low score for one reason only, it's not going to appeal in the least to your typical disc golfer that started on other courses. But grab your buddies who have kids and wives that want to go try this Disc Golf thing you keep talking about and this is PERFECT.

It is what it is, and nothing more. This is a course designed with one thing in mind. Family fun and introducing new people to the sport without them getting frustrated because they can't throw a 300' drive.

Snatch up those that never can get away from their families long enough to try the game, make em pack up the kids and the wife, hand them all some of your spare beat up discs, show them some basics, and watch em have a blast.
