Mostly technical holes, but a few have open fairways. 36 tees and 36 baskets on the challenging 18 hole layout. Play the short tees to the easier yellow baskets for a par 55 with some birdie and even ace opportunities. Play the long tees to the tougher orange baskets for a par 68 with a 1,000+ foot hole and deep rough in some areas during late summer. With dual baskets and dual tees on every hole, it can be played in 4 different variations.

This course has been continually upgraded since the original 9 holes were installed in 2011. New in Fall 2016, the course now has 18 shorter yellow baskets and 18 longer orange baskets permanently installed on the course - with short and long tees on each hole too. The longest hole is 1042 feet, slightly downhill and mostly open. There are "once-a year mow zones" that can make some holes much more difficult in late summer and early fall, but starting October and all through winter the rough is all cut down. There is a gun shooting range nearby, so don't be alarmed if you hear gunshots as you play.

Currently Tommy front 9 has two teepads (longs,shorts) and 9 baskets. The back 9 has long teepads and two baskets(yellow,orange). Schumpert is very wooded and long with one extremely long open hole(1042ft). Lots of elevation change and sloped greens makes this course difficult. You will most likely hear gun shots from the shooting range next to the park.
(Edit) Course is complete minus short tee signs on back 9. Knoxville's best disc golf course!
