1. Quality course design/hole layout.
2. Quality targets.

Commentary: 9 beautiful holes on the front with lots of open fairways and some trees. The front 9 holes are longer and take more strength to play. There are 9 brand new holes on the back in thick woods that take more finesse to play. If you're going to play the back 9, Bring your mosquito spray and calamine lotion. Check out the details of each hole. Bonus: Take our advice and play this pickup hole after #5: Tee off on top of the hill above the #5 goal and shoot for the #4 bucket. It's truly awesome - probably 350 feet, and we've birdied it twice! - , and it's a shame that they didn't make it an official hole. Directions: Front 9 and Pro Shop: From I-55 North, take Exit X. Half-way into the exit, turn right onto Frontage road. Go 200 yards to Fossil Peak on the left. The #1 tee is on your right as you pull into the park. From I-55 South, take Exit X. Turn left at the first light onto Lakeland Drive. Turn right at the next light onto Frontage Road. Go 200 yards to Fossil Peak on the left. The #1 tee is on your right as you pull into the park. Back 9: From I-55 take Exit X and go east on Lakeland Drive. Turn right on blank street at the Shell gas station. Continue straight into the park, and then turn right into the gravel parking lot.

The most interesting hole on this course, #10, is on a peninsula surrounded on 3 sides by water, and you have to drive across water to reach it. Better bring your Dolphins.

	University of Southern Mississippi Disc Golf Course Location: USM Hattiesburg, Mississippi Rating: Holes: 7 par 3's Goal Type: 5-gallon buckets nailed upside down on a 5-foot post. Tee Type: Dirt Tee Signs: No. Course Hours: 24/7 Pro Shop: No Restrooms: No Camping: No Extras: None Commentary: Bare minimum course located on about 3 acres. The object is to hit the bucket on top of each post. The tees are not clearly marked and there are no pointers to the next tee. You basically have to find each numbered bucket and throw from the bucket of the previous hole. We could only find 7 goals. I'm glad to see they're trying to start a course, but it won't be worth travelling to play until they get more real estate and some real targets. Directions: Hwy 49 south into Hattiesburg. Right onto 4th street then left onto Coliseum drive. The course is on the right immediately past the softball field.
