Best 12 hole course I have ever played 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 12, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Tee signs on the older holes, some temp signs were still on the newer holes.
Decent flow though the park, only part I really needed the map for was hole 5 because it was added later.

Cons:

Course is a little on the short side

Other Thoughts:

I really like courses like this, very good mix of shots. I played which ever tee pad had the sign next to it, so it was a mix of shorts and a few longs.

I had not idea there was a parking lot, I parked next to basket 1 and started my round on hole 2.

Nice mix of left to right and right to left holes. A few tunnel shots, several ace runs, made this course fun to play.

My biggest complaint is the basket on hole 11, bottom of the basket if over 6ft off the ground. I could reach my disc, but had to "toss" it out of the basket to get it back.

Would I play this course again?

Yes I would, I really enjoyed my round and want to play it twice around playing longs and shorts.

Peaceful and challenging short course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 3, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Elevation changes with some up and downs which Houston rarely sees. The woods are amazing and the course is well kept. You only hear a slight bit of road noise, otherwise all you hear is the forest life.
Fair number of challenging holes but nothing so hard a beginner can't enjoy the course. The designers did avoid the water so wet discs aren't likely but you can be spending time in the bushes.
Once you get used to it, the course really flows.
Concrete tee pads unlike Burke Crenshaw or Bayou Bend etc.
Enough variation in hole design that you can benefit from front and back hand shots but still not impossible for a noob to do well on.
Multiple tees that are actually useful and well thought out.

Cons:

Insanely confusing layout the 1st time you play. Make sure your phone is charged or you've printed out the course map or you are going to get lost.
Seriously, would it kill someone to have a sign that says "follow the street and park in the park parking lot"
Some tee boxes aren't poured yet but I imagine they'll come in time.
Most tee boxes are a little short but what's there is well done.
My God, the mosquitoes are thick as all get out.
No bathrooms or fountains. Plan ahead.

Other Thoughts:

IIRC, the course is built on an abandoned neighborhood and part of the flood plane for the flood control district. The streets that kind of appear out of nowhere on some holes is weirdly like playing DG in a post apocalypse but otherwise incredibly well maintained DG course.
Seriously great spots to have a picnic if the mosquitoes don't kill you along the course. It's a really nice hiking trail as well.

top tier shorter course around houston 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 10, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Living in the Southeast of Houston, most of our courses are 9 holes. This course now has 12 as of February 2016! Holy moly it is sweet! A number of these holes are not overly long and have multiple shot options off of the tee while still having obstacles in the way, lots of great looking lines through the woods when the shots are made. Not too much overgrowth out of the fairways so it's simple enough to find your disc when it inevitably goes wayward off a tree or out of your hand. I don't have any problems with any of the baskets, they catch my r-pro great! Most of the players I have met out here have been friendly and helpful when needed, like most DG parks.

Wildlife I've seen out here includes hawks, owls, buzzards, snakes and armadillos.

Cons:

The concrete tee boxes are manageable, not perfect. No restrooms or water spouts available to my knowledge. Not the best course after rain. And the new 12 hole layout could be confusing if you don't know it at all.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fantastic course in a good area of disc golf in houston. This course being between milby and Jack brooks, it is the top of the class for pearland, clear lake, webster, seabrook, deer park, and Pasadena. Worth stopping for.

Giving the course these three holes adds to the shot variety needed to be successful out here and takes the course to a new level of 24 hole fun! Thanks friendswood & friendswood disc golfers!

Excellent 9 Alt 18 hole Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 24, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well marked with excellent signs, very pleasing fairways, trash cans and benches now installed. Long and short pads turn a 9 into a good 18. Concrete pads.

Cons:

Tee pads are a tad short. Parking is plentiful, but the walk is difficult after disk when leaving.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a hidden jewel. I love that is close to my house and I get to play it several times a week. They have put a lot od time and sweat into this course and it has paid off. If you haven't played it yet....do it! There is a mini out there weekly that is fun to play....

The park is well maintained and it doesn't seem like it would hold much water after rain. Multiple tees makes in an 18 .

Cons:

Not much skill required to throw par . Tees are concrete but they are really short .

Other Thoughts:

All in all its not a bad place for a beginner .
