The disc golf course at Athens Regional Park is a very challenging course with lots of long tight fairways. The course has two tee pads and two baskets per hole which are all playable at any given time. It has a great mix of wooded/open and left/right holes with some water hazards along the course as well. Overall a pretty fun course but I wouldn't exactly consider it a must play. It's not a bad course but I wouldn't travel too far to play it when there are many other courses near by that just simply out class this course. Some of the wooded fairways are a little too unforgiving in my opinion but like I said, I do enjoy the choice of being able to play several different layouts at your choice. Pro's aren't going to enjoy the Short to Short layout and newer player's aren't going to enjoy the Long to Long layout but there are happy mediums for both. Overall, if you are in the area, this would be a great course to play but definitely not a must play.

A nice little gem between big disc golf cities. The back 9 was just finished. A few really beautiful shots on the front. Hole 5 is a beautiful over the water shot. The. back nine is a great addition. Has a nice variety of shots. The fact that is has two pads and two baskets for every hole makes it worth the trip every time.

Only bad thing I can say is that finding yourself off of the fairway on the wooded holes of the front 9 is definitely going to cost you a few strokes... but that's why it's called a fairway.

Edited 9/25/2017: Back 9 is now officially in, with 2 tee pads and 2 baskets on each hole the same as the front 9, so now you have 72 hole combinations out there. Back 9 is longer with more elevation changes than the front. This is a course that will test every aspect of your game. Long Tees are definitely NT-caliber play. Spend the day out there and enjoy it!

Original Review 9/20/2010:
Very challenging course. Just 9 holes in as of 9/20/10, but there are 2 teepads and 2 baskets on every hole making for 4 different combinations on each hole for a total of 36 possible hole layouts. Its definitely worth it to stop by and check it out. First 2 holes are wide open bombs to warm up your arm (downhill on hole 1 so you can feel like superman when you let it rip, slightly back uphill on hole 2). Hole 3 plays next to a creek and has a tight gap to squeeze through halfway up the fairway. Hole 4 is fairly open but water could come into play and you will need a solid drive from the long pad for looks at either basket, Hole 5 is over water with trees around the short basket, long basket is around the corner. Hole 6 has water on the right and woodline on the left. Hole 7 is wooded uphill. Hole 8 is long and wooded uphill and probably the hole you will take the most strokes on, you will need an accurate drive to get into position for your upshot on the long basket from either tee-pad, short pad to short pin is birdieable with an accurate drive. Hole 9 is a downhill wooded shot (very tight from long pad, but birdieable from both tee-pads).
