Sadly, this disc course has outlived it's service life in a growing and overcrowded city park. Years ago, a great disc course...today, it's a shell of itself. The course is pretty run down now. Three old holes no longer exist due to a stalled construction project. Three other holes are based around increasingly busy parking lots, ball fields, and a dog park - all swarming with people and cars parked in the way. Another hole throws across an active roadway with a blind curve. The woods holes also have a great bit of mud in wetter months, overgrown weeds, and hikers/dog walkers walking right down the fairways. I want to like this course, but it was never designed with the forethought of growth, and now it's showing it's age.

Not only was this disc golf course previously enjoyed by many area disc golfers—it also gave the citizens in the neighborhoods surrounding this park a beautiful forested space for a quiet nature walk with their pets and their families. As of the week before Thanksgiving, the city has decided to cut down a massive percentage of the brush and trees which provided a habitat for animals, a sound and light pollution buffer for the adjacent neighborhoods, and some of the general natural beauty that used to be a defining feature of the Eastern shore, and Baldwin County, but is now rapidly disappearing thanks to small-minded and shortsighted decisions. Enjoy what’s left to do outdoors in this town that isn’t set within a chain-link fence before the opportunities are all gone!

Fairhope always offers nice amenities. About 3/4 shade so perfect summer time exercise.

You can tell is used to be decent, but they have clearly let it get run down. The parts in the woods are mostly overgrown, there is a large amount of it that requires you to play in the mud where I think they plan to block it totally with a new baseball field. At one point you have to play around a parking lot, and at another spot you throw near a busy street. I wasn't impressed at all.

One of the most challenging courses in the county. Beware that some fairways cross roadways and parking. There is major construction going on to add another ball field . The putting challenge on the last basket is gone
