The Admiral

"Played one round for a flex start and I am blown away. This course is a real gem. The city of Symes AL deserve many kuddos for how well maintained it is. The design is top notch. Navigation was easy. This is a destination course for sure. "

"One of my favorite courses I’ve ever played."

"Excellent layout and extremely well kept!"

"Best course I’ve played. I’d rank this above the 2021 Worlds Venue The Fort in UT. Technical, and unforgiving but every hole is reachable with a clear fairway. But requires you to execute a shot. "

"Great direction for tee pads, clean and maintained course! Had a good time"

"Great course! Well maintained! Mostly right-hand friendly so challenging for an intermediate level lefty."

"Gem of a course. "

"Awesome course, well maintained and awesome course design. Coke for a casual round with some challenge on Reds or mov rip the difficulty with the other Tee pads. Definitely on my list to come back too!"

"Love the tea boxes. For different arm strengths. He knows how to design for beginners to pro. "

"Wow! Amazing course. "

"Best course(s) in Mobile, AL! Red tees are very fun and scoreable, Blues present a tough challenge, and Whites are perfectly in between. Highly recommend. 👍🏼"

"Great course. Weirdest layout on holes, not intuitive "

"Never had more fun playing lumberjack"

"Really well thought out course with a variety of challenging wooded holes. 3 different tee pads for a choose your own adventure round. In a very nice public park. Definitely worth a stop if you are anywhere near this area. I’ve played over 100 courses and this one is near the top of my list"

"Beautiful course. Tee pads, baskets, and signage were in great condition. Plenty of options for play and absolutely no “poke and hope” holes. You can tell that the course designer took time to consider the layout. I really appreciate when hole 9 finishes near where hole 1 begins. Was able to full send down a few fairways and lay down a few rollers in the woods which is always nice. I’ll be back!"

"Course is amazing. Only thing it needs is labels on the tee pads to which color it is. The maps are great it’s only hard to tell which tee pad you’re at when you arrive. A little paint on the corner of the sign or the pad would be perfection. I’m from Texas and I’m gonna miss this course forever "

"Well maintained mix of wooded holes demanding that you hit your line & others that are wide open bombers. Beware on #7. The map at the box shows the basket with water behind it. In reality there is also water on the right AND in front. What I thought was a great drive for a tap in birdie putt from 10-12’ in front ended up instead sitting in a couple feet of murky water not visible from the pad and not illustrated on the illustration. "

"Very fun, well maintained. Mix of long wooded shots, short wooded, open. Great course"

"Good use of space and upkeep was on point. "

"Wow. I’ll be back here a lot. So nice and well maintained. No two holes just alike. Very enjoyable."

"No complaints. Has everything a disc golf course needs. Beautiful and technical."

"Top tier course, incredibly challenging and beautiful."

"Super super fun course but super difficult whites/blues… nice technical shots. A little “root-y” for cart but still cart friendly"

"Impeccably maintained and professionally built. Has some fun holes and a few mediocre holes. There are three holes that are 'throw and pray' dense woods golf...too many trees and no defined fairway. Signage is well done, however Back 9 had a few spots where pathway is confusing on where to go for the next hole. Course has a good variety overall, but Hole 15 thru 18 are repetitive in style and seem like designer phoned it in. No bathroom nearby most of course or parking, only by Hole 11/12. "

"Amazing course and great design love this course"

"Awesome course and design! "

"Tough. Eat your pride and play the red tees if you don’t play much. "

"Well kept and very fun course! So much fun"

"First time out here. Shot from the reds. Short pads. Lots of fun ace run opportunities. Fun basket placements. I probably should’ve played from white or blues but was short on time. Will def come back again. I took away some point because on some parts of the course the pathway to holes is a bit confusing. Signage is decent but could have a few more throughout providing better direction. "

"Excellent conditions and great design for the course!"

"Great course, well maintained "

"Fun course! Multiple signs and teepads per hole are top notch. Wooded distance is championship level. Pars are very fair. Course is well maintained. Only reason its not 5* is because I feel the shot variety and difficulty isn't world class. Everything else is though I only played the white pads."

"Absolutely beautiful. Top 3 in my favorite courses, including Idlewild and Mahr Park in Kentucky. "

"My new favorite course"

"Great design, best course in LA. "

"Our league drove about an hour for a round and so glad we did. Will make this a regular destination. This place is beautiful. Well maintained. As a beginner I found it to be very easy to navigate with the signage provided. Multiple tees made it great for me and the seasoned players."

"Amazingly fun course. It has technical woods, open bombers, and water hazards. Play it!"

"Very well maintained. Good layout, not great. A few fairways don't have a well defined line to the basket. Little to none elevation. The little "island" green hole is gimmicky. Overall I like it, but not my favorite Houck design. "

"Tee pads need some cleaning off but other than that, great technical wooded course"

"If anyone finds my sidewinder tour series on hole #11, just text the number on the disc…"

"Played about 20 courses now in the Deep South and this was my favorite. Very well maintained. Great mix of wooed and open fairways. Really cool layout for some of the holes. Very well marked with maps and directions at every pad. Three different pads at each hole offering three ways to play or an option for all levels. Drove about three hours to play it and will make the trip again. "

"You’ll be humbled, but working through the trees feels so good! Go play!!"

"Great course! Lots of fun and challenging. Only downside is the blind tees but that’s what makes it challenging "

"Incredible and beautiful, magestically difficult course. I absolutely adore this course, however hole 9 puts you in a precarious position with tee pad 1 throwing just feet from you. Other than that impressive course. "

"One of the best courses I’ve ever played. Highly recommend. "

"Great course. "

"Absolutely gorgeous course! Maintained very well!"

"Truly a great course. Rated number 1 in Alabama for a reason. "

"Not from around this area. This course was so much fun. Great signage between the holes. Some long walks but signs pointed the way. BRP of the south "

"John Houck design. Clean, fun, great layout. One of my favorites. "

"Nice technical shots with water hazards"

"Beautiful course "

"Beautiful coarse, lots of fun"

"Flawless. It’s crazy clean, well-kept, well-designed, very challenging, well-varied, with 3 separate tees for almost every hole…..can’t say much more! It’s a Houck course, baby! Go Houck it!"

"Absolutely fantastic. One of the best courses I’ve played."

"Very fun! Well kept and a must visit! Use UDisc maps and pay attention to signage as there is a lot of criss-crossing. Excellent course!"

"I love this course, played it twice , Great pads , good holes , loved it "

"Perfect course.. whoever dug vertical walls in the pond on 11 can rot in hell though"

"I’ve played 13 courses in Alabama/Florida and this is the best one I’ve ever played. The course is very well maintained Has 3 layouts and 2-3 tee pads per hole with a sign by each tee pad that shows different landing zones and lines Includes a lot of long tight lines including par 4s and 5s through the woods. Pars are completely fair. Very defined fairways."

"Fantastic and very fun course! Every hole is wonderfully unique."

"Challenging course because of the walking and heat, plus lots of mosquitos. Fun technical and long shots in the woods. Tests your ability to throw long on tight lines. Signs clearly marked, with easy to navigate trails. Gets muddy with rain. Couple water hazards. "

"Very kept up holds water "

"Very challenging but definitely a top course in the area"

"Great tee signs, great layout. Several holes offer a great view with a great challenge. Not a course for those looking to play quick. The rough is very rough. Many shots feel rewarding but there are quite a few areas where the course seems to lose its footing. Particularly the hole in the field. "

"I enjoyed every single second of it. All the shots, long, short, iconic, you name it. Too bad I live so far away. Also great signage, and so easy to navigate even with three teepees. "

"Well kept course! Great area with a top notch multiple pads for you own abilities which is always a plus. "

"All around best course in the world "

"Great course. Designed predominantly for Right hand backhand/Left hand forehand. "

"Super fun course. A great mix of length and complexity. Would definitely recommend. "

"Complicated and challenging. Very fun but also very easy to lose discs. I did play with a big group, but if I wouldn’t have stood at the basket on the island hole we would’ve lost 6 discs. "

"Great course. A mix of target gaps and open throws. It is very well marked and maintained. Will play again. Kudos!"

"Really awesome course! Well manicured, all the shots are very fun, and the course is well thought out. The signage is great as well making it mostly easy to follow. My only complaint is that the flow of things isn't great. Like the number of the holes could be switched around so you're not walking half the course away just for the next one."

"Layout is awesome and clear. Plenty of signage so you know where you are and where you’re going. Definitely worth the trip!"

"Front nine is 5 stars. Great layout. Back gets a little long and repetitive. Overall a great course."

"Beautiful course. Multiple tee pads per hole. Tough, mostly wooded course. Well maintained and excellent signage. Consistently sized nice teepads get five stars all day. "

"Tight course, very challenging. Well marked, great course."

"Awesome course"

"Hurricane didnt ravaged it too badly played whites, cleared a lil."

"Great course. Lots of tight lines and a little bit of elevation change. "

"Tough but fun!"

"Tight lines, Woods are tough, very well kept and pretty. Good place to bring the family as well. Playground, splash pad, pavilions, and areas to grill. "

"Awesome course, very wooded, some slight elevation changes, a couple water hazards..not easy. Not as visually appealing as some others but a good challenge. Would love to try again "

"Special "

"Very tough course. Lots of wooded holes but a few that are more open. Very well maintained and pretty. Probably the best course in the city and one of the most difficult. "

"Great course"

"This one is in the top 5 for me of all the courses I have ever played. Good mix of long and short holes but you gotta hit your lines here. Props to whoever is in charge of course maintenance because they keep it clean. Check this one out!!"

"Brutal but great"

"So many trees! Where's the line?"

"Very nice course, we’ll kept and challenging. "

"Course is perfect"

"Very difficult at times but very fun"

"Hole 13 and 14 need cleaning up "

"Very well maintained. Flow is a little weird at first but you get used to it."

"Great course, great for learning technical shots, use putters holes seem long but the pars make up for the putters. "

"There are a few flaws in some of the design where if it’s really busy you may be throwing into others. But this is one of the best courses in the country"

"Some places need to be cut back, red tee boxes had alot of debris. Grass needs to be cut."

" great signage, but was expecting more for John houck's hundredth"

"Amazing, beauriful, well built, kidney punch of a course. "

"We really enjoyed this course! Very tough for fairly new players like us even from the red tee pads but not so much that we didn’t have fun. We would definitely play it again! But maybe not in June. Pretty sure the Kona Ice truck is the only thing that prevented my heat stroke! A water fountain to refill along the way would be a great investment!"

"Course well cut and kept. Lots of thorns in brush areas though"

"fire!"

"Good crisp lines. The toilet by 13 was refreshing. Fun"

"Fun course, alot of trees, pretty well marked. Waterproof boots are helpful, it is kind of wet on a holes 1 & 10, but the rest seemed to be well drained."

"Challenging well layed out technical course. It's unforgiving if your having a bad day. But if you do well you know you earned it. "

"Phenomenal course for advanced players.... but still playable for all skill levels... And a beautiful layout"

"Long wooded course. Very challenging. Has 3 sets of tee pads for different skill levels. Course has 9 par 3’s, 7 par 4’s, and 2 par 5’s. "

"Awesome course! Well kept. But very long drives."

"Long beautiful wooded course with a few water holes. Three tee pads on every hole, so this one is designed with everyone in mind. Best designed course in the area. A must play! Designed by John Houck."

"Beautiful course with good variety."

"Very long. Very technical. NOT FOR BEGINNERS "
