East Roswell is one of my favorite courses. True lines, and mostly fair throughout. Mostly short and heavily wooded, but you will need the driver on several holes. Definitely some classic holes that you will not want to miss. RIP old hole 11. Most tee pads leave a bit to be desired as they aren't paved. Take a trip if you need to, but if you consider yourself a disc golfer in the Atlanta area, you must play ERP.

If you can't throw straight, or hit long tunnel shots, this place will be a nightmare. almost completely in the woods and if you stray too far off the fairway, your score will just go up up up. ... show more ›

If you can't throw straight, or hit long tunnel shots, this place will be a nightmare. almost completely in the woods and if you stray too far off the fairway, your score will just go up up up.

i did like the use of the elevation change a bit, and the overall layout. needs better signage to get to the first hole while in the park. and where the 10th(?) hole tee starts. took me a while to find where to find one of the holes.

Pros:
Offers 3 distict levels of ability, In the woods make a great walk in the summer.

A great technical course that demands your absolute attention.Offers a change of pace that is unlike anything else in the area. If you want a new experience get out to ERP. Holes 2 and 6 were absolutely breath taking and beautiful. You need to go on a nice sunny day as the pics above, just don't do the hole justice. Course is marked well and easy to get around, but locating baskets can be a challenge.

Cons:
Huge mulch piles are ugly and provide an unwanted habitat for snakes. Some of the kudzu is scary. Can lose a disc a just a shade off the fairway. Back 9 seems lack luster with the exception of 2-3 holes. Kinda feels like some holes were squeezed in and some others just feel repetitive. Like the other review, some holes Par might want to be reviewed as some seem almost unfair. Almost like a novelty, difficult just to be difficult.I don't think ERP will crown the best golfer in tournament play, just best golfer that round. I think luck kinda has a little more leverage at ERP than surrounding area's. Which in some regards isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Other Thoughts: ERP is an extreme challenge from the black tees that IMO should only be challenged by advanced if not pro players. The shots the black tees call for, most Ams and lower 950 rated players just don't have. I made this mistake the first time here, thinking that since I play black and gold at Jp that id do fine here. I couldn't have been more wrong. This is a different kind of distance, im talking hallway like fairways that may dog leg twice or make one huge dogleg with some sporadic trees in the line.

That being said the blue tees were perfect and provided an experience that no other course in the area can provide. When I was told that the course was technical I immediately thought about Redan, wow how wrong could someone be. This course is very technical and you will need your TLs, Valks, and Eagle. I did at least. Blue tees provided a very fair test of golf for someone who doesnt have 400 ft hyzers that go down a hallway LOL. Some holes like the one with the ton of mulch and the one with the cargo containers were downright ugly, but its more than made up for with 2 and 6 which from the black tee are almost breath taking.

The tee pads hurt the overall rating, as I would have rather had dirt than the powdrer they put down, but dont let that stop you from playing this course. Its more than worth your time.

Not as tough as I originally feared it would be, but still lots of challenges. I had never played this course thinking it was "out of my skill range," but was happy to see that it was "do-able" for m ... show more ›

Not as tough as I originally feared it would be, but still lots of challenges. I had never played this course thinking it was "out of my skill range," but was happy to see that it was "do-able" for me. I had some really good throws today that also helped. Of course, I did meet a few trees along the way!! Don't we all at ERP??

Beautiful course with lots of tight technical shots. I really enjoy my time here. The locals keep everything in great shape. Mostly wooded, but some great open holes mixed in (3, 4, 12). One of the fe ... show more ›

Beautiful course with lots of tight technical shots. I really enjoy my time here. The locals keep everything in great shape. Mostly wooded, but some great open holes mixed in (3, 4, 12). One of the few courses within a reasonable drive from Metro Atlanta, so it gets played often. But it never gets repetitive or boring. Highly recommended.
