Had to hike to make it to the next hole. Lost my disc and almost turned my ankle. Still had fun though.

Unfortunately, this course is not suitable for any level of play. The attempt to turn a 9-hole course into an 18-hole course didn't work out well. However, with a redesign, it has the potential to be a good 9-hole course. Currently, holes 2 and 3 are overgrown. Also make sure to use discs you don't mind losing or having damaged by the asphalt.

Tee signage would be helpful.

Unplayable. No teepads, no tee signs. Expected tee off in the middle of the road and throw over parking lots and busy roads. Feels like an unfinished course. If they add tee pads, tee signs, and clear some branches and/or trees to actually make fairways then I’ll come back. As is it’s an unplayable and unfinished course.

Very challenging to hit the tiny greens surrounded by OB. Worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

Not worth the drive. Without UDisc it'd be impossible to navigate and is still challenging using the app. Property has potential but a redesign is definitely needed. Baskets are nice but that would be the highlight.

It’s mainly a parking lot course. It’s fine for getting some practice in if you’re in the area, but this will be my only time playing it. Played through 14 holes and called it a day since the back nine was essentially the same as the front.

Was it fun? Yes. It’s disc golf and I love the sport and the challenge! NOT a beginner course. Tee pads are almost non existent but once you find the spot you can sorta figure out where to throw. No directions on where the next holes are. Being tons of parking lot, consider what discs you will throw. There’s a good chance that they’ll get pretty scratched up. Not much course maintenance. The property is well kept, but the course is not. Good amount of overgrowth. If I didn’t use UDisc, I’d be at a complete loss of where anything is.

This course is not good to play on. So many asphalt tees and destroys your disks on about 75% of the course. Definitely go to another course if you’re looking at playing here.

Super fun course with a lot of variety, but the tees are hard to find if you don’t have a map of the course. Still one of my favorite courses in Birmingham.

A nine-hole offering with so many parking lot fairways and interfering obstacles that the layout is unforgivable. The design flaws are many and no amount of prayer will justify this course. Read the rest of my “Pavement Purgatory” review at www.dgcoursereview.com.

It's to easy to lose your disc in the mangrove bushes, and chew your disc up on the asphalt. Unfortunately I won't play here again. Also it's hard to find the tee's.

It’s a church, they tried with what they had, but the course just isn’t the best

Cuts through parking lots A LOT so can’t play when too many parked cars around

Poor tee pads if you could even call them that. Not well explained risks on certain holes. I’d recommend plying with someone who knows the course or walking most holes prior to throwing.

Fun, short course. Great use of the space that they have on their campus. Expect to have some discs scuffed up on the asphalt. There is excellent playground as well if you need alternative source of entertainment for your kids.
