The Tracks at McDonough

I wish this course were around when I grew up in McDonough. May have picked up the game sooner. I live in ATL and it's only about 30 minute drive without traffic. Just as close as anything else around the metro area. Reminds me a little bit of Mulberry. This course has the potential to be one of the top 2 or 3 courses in ATL, once it has matured a little. No signage yet, but I'm sure it will be coming soon. I hope there will be a team to help maintain this course, because it deserves it. I ...

I wish this course were around when I grew up in McDonough. May have picked up the game sooner. I live in ATL and it's only about 30 minute drive without traffic. Just as close as anything else around the metro area. Reminds me a little bit of Mulberry.

This course has the potential to be one of the top 2 or 3 courses in ATL, once it has matured a little. No signage yet, but I'm sure it will be coming soon. I hope there will be a team to help maintain this course, because it deserves it.

I'd like to kind of compare the course to an actual ball golf course in the woods made for discs. I love how most of not all fairways are lined with logs to mark the beginning of the rough. The fairways are almost completely cleared of random trees and you don't have to worry about that ghost tree, which shouldn't be in play, that ends up grabbing your disc after you throw a great shot. All in all, this is a job well done.

Con: Hole #8. Not very long, but the basket is almost impossible to access from the tee. The fairway could be widened on the right side or a few of the trees further down the left rough could be removed to give the disc more distance to push forward before cutting hard right. As it it currently stands, the hole is around 215, but you only have about 60-70 to get forward push before the hole starts to turn hard right and you still have another 130-150 feet to the basket. There's also a low ceiling, so you can't go high to give yourself a little more air room to get extra glide. Not to mention the initial 60-70 feet is a 9ft wide tunnel shot. You only have 1 option and it's not a very good one. Seems like a waste of a hole where par is easy, but birdie is nearly impossible barring a throw in or a long circle 2 look.

Side note** as a word of advice or suggestions for any tournament directors out there, this course would make the perfect counter part to JP Mosley. Both courses are somewhat close together and are begging to be paired together for a weekend tourney... could be an A-tier in my personal opinion. Easily comparable to the Mega City Mega Bowl in Birmingham, Alabama.

Also my player rating is around 930. Just though I'd point that out as a reference to how valid my comments may or may not be.

This is a fun and challenging course. It is a heavily wooded course that has made leaps and bonds in the last few years. There are mixed tee pads (concert). Manageable flow with average walks between holes. It has a mix of longer holes for those who like to throw far with a balance of those shorter ones that are left open to be attacked. A lot of the holes are able to be attacked with multiple lines/fh/bh. What keeps it from being higher for me is just the small stuff that can benefit most c ...

What keeps it from being higher for me is just the small stuff that can benefit most courses-debris on the fairway from trees, random branches/ceiling height, small stuff that could be cut out.

Overall, GREAT course and can’t wait to see how this young course evolves.
