Shelby Farms

"Interesting mix of tee pads (dirt, concrete, grass, turf, and gravel) but otherwise great course!"

"Long holes with open field. Some water holes but not horrible! First two holes are rough "

"No signs makes it hard to know where baskets are. Beautiful landscape but bad tee pads too. "

"The course isn't well mapped. Would suggest updating their signs."

"Some wet spots but mostly dry. "

"Very strange tee pad variation… some broken pins… zero signage… Watch for geese poop! "

"great course, just a few broken chains on baskets"

"Need up dated tee pads for some holes. New baskets for all holes will really help this course. I like how they mowed a path to the next hole for all the new course players. Even if they just updated their baskets would definitely make this a 4 out of 5!"

"Long course. Very fun but don’t plan on scoring well unless you are a professional. Easy to lose discs"

"Needs tee pads and markers badly"

"Needs a lot of updating. The course was fine but the pads and maps were either in very poor shape or nonexistent. Would not recommend if you are new to disc golf."

"The bugs were the WORST I’ve ever experienced "

"Good course that could use a little TLC! still had fun."

"The course setup itself is very nice. Open and doesn’t have tall grass, little to no water also. My only complaint would be the tee pads. They either are nonexistent or very messed up. Some falling apart, some dirt, one is plywood and one is fake grass… they also do not have a map at each tee so could be difficult for new people. "

"It’s alright. Lost a blue champion archon on hole 7 in the trees on the right side "

"Lost a blue prodigy h5 on hole 13 in the bushes. If found let me know :) other than that, tee boxes are trash, pretty open with lots of pedestrian activity "

"Only complaint is other users of the park like to sit on the fairways "

"Lots of trash and tee boxes are in rough shape. "

"As a first timer here, it had plenty of fun challenges with hills and trees. Clear fairways and trails. Super fun round!"

"A well-rounded course. The course could use some TLC as some of the tee pads are broken and have no signs . The course is relatively easily to follow and has a few throws over a shallow pond. (I admittedly threw one in and was able to retrieve). A few tee pads may have you wanting to throw beside them as the concrete is broken. The course is mainly open and does not have you in any technical wooded situations. Decently long shots that are fun for bigger arms. Fun for all levels of players."

"Some holes have no tee pads, tee pads are really short. Baskets need some work"

"Was well mowed, but I was unimpressed with basket, lack of signage and pad conditions considering how nice the park is. 12s basket is broken and laying on the ground."

"The course itself is nice enough, set in a park with most holes over grassy fields. Plenty of spots to air it out, but maintenance needs to be done. Virtually no signage and the tee pads are a disappointment. Some of the concrete ones are too short and you will fall off the front of them on a run up drive or even sprain an ankle. "

"Fun course to play! Teepad need work and it was somewhat difficult to figure out where to go next after each hole! Other than that I think it’s a pretty solid layout!"

"Tee pad are mostly terrible. No signs at the holes. Beautiful course and fun to play despite those two things. "

"Needs new pads and baskets"

"A few of the tee boxes were rough, but overall awesome course. "

"Bring a lot of water if it’s hot! Decent amount of walking and less than half the holes are heavily shaded"

" Well-maintained. You have to walk past hole 7's T pad to get to hole 3's T pad."

"Tee pads are pretty bad overall, and there isn’t really any signage. Course is pretty nice and open though. "

"Needs grass cut"

"Beautiful course relatively open shots. You need to be able to throw accurately 350 to have a good round as a lot of the holes are 360-415 as par 3. "

"This is a fun course, but a little tricky for beginners like me. Not because it’s technical (there are a few places it is) but because it’s long. So a good place to practice up shots if you don’t have much distance yet, like me. "

"Tee pads missing at times. No signs. But still a fun place to be! "

"Honestly I was scared to go to this course because of the reviews but it has actually been updated lately and it was really fun to play"

"Nicely manicured fairways! T boxes need a little TLC but great course! "

"i played this course a lot when i first started discing, really disappointed about its current state. the new layout is more complicated than necessary, although the fairways are well maintained. there are some holes with wood (wtf?) tee boxes which have rotted. this course is challenging with several long uphill/downhill shots. "

"I got a lot flack from people saying how wack this course was. I think it was great with its obstacles. Could use more trash cans at holes. "

"Hard to find tee boxes. "

"Good course. Good one to practice with drivers. Baskets are decent, but a few of the tee pads are barely considered pads. "

"At least 1 teepad is mud instead of concrete; snow is gone, but it's very wet today"

"Baskets are rusty. Tee pads point in the wrong direction. Needs to be updated. With tee signs and etc "

"Haven’t played this course in a long time and it’s only 9 until after Starry Nights but the front 9 was fun"

"Everything after 9 is closed due to Starry Nights. The 9 basket is still up. "

"Last 9 baskets aren’t present as of 11/7/20"

"The park only seems to cut a super narrow fairway. The rest of the grass is about ankle to mid calf in some places"

"Lots of Goose Poop!!! Nice course. If grass gets high could be tough. Bug Spray!!!!!!"

"The chains are old and a little rusty, but every single hole was neatly mowed and easy to get to"

"Needs new pads and baskets. "

"back 9 pins still aren’t up for some reason"

"It’s a fun course, T pads need to be laid and some basket need to be replaced but great course to give yourself some challenging shots and have fun "

"Tee boxes and labels are rough. Grass is cut. Course is straightforward."

"Baskets need straightening. Nice mowed fairways. Rough is rough. Otherwise fun, open course"

"Some of the teepads and baskets really need some work, but it's a fun course. "

"Tee boxes need work"

"Nice course, a bit hard to tell where the holes are for some."

"Everything is in the open no shade"

"Bring Bug Spray. Killed at LEAST 50 mosquitoes during my round. Be especially careful on hole 4 by the water"

"This course if very fun. Long, challenging shots. This course is also in the middle of being renovated. So it’s vital to follow the course map on UDisc. When I travel to Memphis I look forward to playing this course. It’s also contained in the middle of Shelby Farms Park. An edgy, fun social park. "

"No tee signs. Bad tee pads. Map not correct. Rough fairways. Definitely not up to par "

"New layout with freshly cut fairways makes this course a must play "

"Nice changes since playing there last time. Fairways were cut into the property and paths mown to lead you to the next tee. Much better than previous experience. "

"Went out to introduce my gf to disc golf and was very disappointed. Missing baskets, unkempt baskets,etc. overall poor maintenance. Sad too as this course used to be great..."

"How about a tournament to raise money for new everything, (baskets/signs/t-pads & including layout)??????? "

"Broken/leaning baskets, poor signage, some of the tee pads seem designed to break ankles. Fairways are nicely mowed though, so there's that. "

"If you find yourself reading these reviews and wondering, how bad could it really be? It's bad, REALLY."

"They did some good upkeep on this over the summer. 6th hole has been replaced. They cut fairways and walkways to next hole that are very helpful. Much improved since spring. Baskets are still pretty old but they work just fine"

"Missing several baskets, hard to navigate. Beautiful park, but course needs a lot of work."

"Course still missing baskets, still torn up from the music festival and parts have not been mowed in months."

"Bottom 9 is inexistent"

"Little to no shade, they fixed the basket on 6, and cut paths for fairways. Some of the fairways make no sense at all (hole 2), but still a fun enough course. Bring lots of water."

"Holes 17 and 18 are lacking tee pads and thr course has no instruction on how to find the next pin, shot distance etc."

"Grass in fields is usually high"

"Tees and baskets are in rough shape! Most tees don't face the appropriate direction and are too short for the length of the hole you are shooting to. No tee signs and the basket numbers are incorrect as well!"

"Basket 11 missing and then found where 15 should be. So I guess 15 was 11??? Front none was great. DEFINITELY need signage for the holes and flags for baskets. Lots of potential, but not there yet."

"Grounds are well kept but the tees aren't very good and the baskets could use some work. The thing they need most is more signs. If I hadn't had the map on this app I wouldn't have been able to find half of the tees. "

"Fun course "

"Great course. More technical than expected from the openness. However, tee boxes could really be improved. Putting gravel in a wood box does not a tee box make. "

"Needs signs. Very confusing to navigate."

"Some of the pads are pointing away from the basket. So you have to start off the pad and go across the pad to throw. The 4 pads that they made need to be better, way better. 18 you are throwing on a slope. This course should be way better for a state park."

"Gross needs to be cut to see disc"
