Located in Tupelo, Tombigbee State Park - 1 is part of a Mississippi disc golf scene that now runs to 95 registered courses. It plays 18 holes, par 54, across 4,140 ft — an average of about 230 feet a hole. That is a comfortable middle distance where fairway drivers do most of the work.

Play the shorter tees if they exist. Most groups finish in about 110 minutes, though a busy weekend morning can add half an hour of waiting on the tee.
What discs should you bring to Tombigbee State Park - 1?
For a course like this, a putter, two mid-ranges, and a couple of fairway drivers covers the majority of shots. The variety rewards a balanced bag over a specialist one. You will use almost everything you carry.
