Arcadia Park

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 19, 2023 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-- Length. If you like showing off your big arm, this course is for you.
-- Water in play. A creek borders several holes, and there is one water carry.
-- Best holes: Six (356 feet) is a RHBH anny through a gap in the trees (and over/along the walking path). The basket is 100 feet right of the path with trees and a slope down to a creek 20 feet past the basket. Nine (425 feet) requires a tee shot along a small creek (mostly dry in June 2023) over waist-high vegetation. About 120 feet from the basket, the creek had water. The basket is tucked into a stand of trees. After a lot of long, open holes, 14 offers a different challenge: 259 feet through a 20-foot wide tunnel most of the way with tree limbs that require you to keep your shot low. No. 15 is 370 feet slightly uphill and completely open for the first 320 feet. The basket is tucked into the trees.
-- Chains on all baskets except 9 are badly rusted, but they still catch OK.

Cons:

-- No practice basket.
-- No map.
-- No restroom.
-- No seating at the tees.
-- Missing tee signs: 4, 10, 18.
-- Long walks: 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 10-11 (go through 15 tee pad, cross bride and make immediate left), 14-15, 17-18. Despite the long walks, navigation is decent and mostly intuitive.
-- Holes 11 and 12 played completely in a no-mow wildflower area. The only places on either hole shorter than waist-high wildflowers are 4-foot wide walking paths to the baskets and small areas at the baskets.

Other Thoughts:

-- Hole 13 tees from an open area, but those wildflowers are to your right and directly in front of you. You've got a water carry over some of the nastiest water I have seen. Depending on time of year and recent rainfall, the water carry can vary from 130 feet to 200 feet. From the tee, it is difficult to tell what is water and what is tall wildflowers.
-- Nos. 17 and 18 have a creek the entire length of the fairway. Seventeen has more trees to keep your disc from finding the water, but it also has knee-high or taller wildflowers for most of the fairway.

Boring 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 22, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course offers a variety of open shots with opportunities to throw far in open fields. Layout is clear. Park seemed clean. I was impressed with holes 9, 10, 16.

Cons:

These holes are boring. I feel there's enough distance on the course to legitimize it but it really does not ask a player to nail a technical line. Instead, a basic right to left or left to right air shot does the trick on nearly every hole.

Other Thoughts:

Compared to so many great courses in DFW, this one is well behind the curve.

Intresting Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 8, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Variety of shots and holes. Good use of the trees and water.

Cons:

Soccer fields on 2 holes ruins the course. How can you play with people on the fairway. Holes 4 and 5 are boring.

Other Thoughts:

move holes by the soccer fields somewhere else.
