Easily one of the best practice courses in metro ATL. Two tee pads for most of the 18 holes, and now secondary baskets for 11 holes. A great mix of shots, only three holes present as “woods” style golf while the rest more closely resemble “park” style golf. The difference between the short and long tees is dramatic in terms of scoring, and the holes with “B” position baskets offer a stern test from the tips.

Easily one of the best practice courses in metro ATL. Two tee pads for most of the 18 holes, and now secondary baskets for 11 holes. A great mix of shots, only three holes present as “woods” style golf while the rest more closely resemble “park” style golf. The difference between the short and long tees is dramatic in terms of scoring, and the holes with “B” position baskets offer a stern test from the tips. Safari options seem limitless as you scan the property, the modest $50 a year Disc Golf membership is a tremendous value offering members the opportunity to bring a guest to share a premium Disc Golf experience. The tightly designed track plays mostly around a lake with definite opportunities to rinse an errant drive on holes 1, 10, 11, 12, and 15. Short tees to short baskets is a fun potential birdie fest that can be looped in under ninety minutes, but still provides for a variety of shot shapes and presents some treacherous greens that can send doinks off the basket and band outside C1.
In the year that this course has been around, the neighborhood and Disc Golf members have embraced the opportunity to grow the course and community, this care and passion is evident every time you step on a tee box at this facility, well done!

OLD SCHOOL! This is a short technical course with a challenging mix of straight, right and left lines from tee to green. What the course lacks in length it more than makes up for with very tight driving windows. Most holes have a multiple lines to the hole, with some very challenging risk vs. reward lines. Well designed with good flow, I'd suggest parking by hole 14 and starting on hole 13 (pull in the park and turn left, go past the pavilion at hole 1 to the last parking lot. Follow the arrows ...

OLD SCHOOL! This is a short technical course with a challenging mix of straight, right and left lines from tee to green. What the course lacks in length it more than makes up for with very tight driving windows. Most holes have a multiple lines to the hole, with some very challenging risk vs. reward lines. Well designed with good flow, I'd suggest parking by hole 14 and starting on hole 13 (pull in the park and turn left, go past the pavilion at hole 1 to the last parking lot. Follow the arrows on the paved walking path to hole 13).
For someone who started playing Folf at the old Chastain park, this brings me back to my youth, it is possible to go low and birdie every hole but poorly executed shots will be punished.
I was not surprised to see John David listed as course designer, this course bears his signature on each hole individually and collectively. A seamless integration into the park, almost as if it started with the course and the park developed organically around it.
I would easily give it an A+ in my book, but realistically I know the young "bucks and does" will miss the opportunity to air out a bomb 350'+, I don't think there is a single hole over 300'. If there were a couple of holes that were longer and open it could be a masterpiece.
The course is well marked and easy to navigate, walkers and bikers share the trails with golfers, but I observed they were very considerate and willing to yield to golfers. On many holes my group was playing in front of an impromptu "gallery" and they seemed genuinely interested in watching us throw.
If your game is strictly power off the tee and putting, you will not like this course. If your game is balanced with power, finesse, and mental approach then you will enjoy the challenge.
