Watch out for # 18, the 575 yard par-5 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 7, a 175 yard par-3.

This heavily-wooded course is unique because each hole is individually defined by the numerous trees lining the fairways. The greens are elevated and there are no sand bunkers. Water hazards (ponds) come into play on fifteen separate occasions. The course sits on the banks of the Tennessee River.

Mcfarland Park Golf Course closed as a golf course in 2000. A driving range remains open in the summer months. The course has been re-purposed as a disc golf course.
