Welcome to Crowley 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 22, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Brand new tee signs on every hole show distance, hole layout, and different target positions. (some of the nicest signs I have seen in the DFW)
-3 tee pads for almost every hole, and there are 21 holes.
-All white and red tees are now concrete.(but not 3b)
-Lots of good elevation shots.
-Creek comes into play on 1, 12, 17, 18, 19, and 20, which ups the difficulty level a bit. (13, 18, 19, 20, and 21, if you play 3b as hole 4, which is how I always play it.) Also a con if you're a beginner.
-A lot of the holes have multiple target positions.
-Fun course for beginners as well as seasoned vets.
-Not a lot of traffic for such a nice course.
-Plenty of trash cans, and spots to relax.
-Well kept course.
-2 playground areas at the front of the course for the kiddos.
-An all around nice park, and a great hike.

Cons:

-Blue tees are not concrete. Neither is hole 3B.
-Poison Oak, Ivy, and Sumac can be found back in the wooded holes, so keep it on the fairway.(I seem to get into poison ivy every other time I play this course.)
--Creek comes into play on 1, 12, 17, 18, 19, and 20, which ups the difficulty level a bit. (13, 18, 19, 20, and 21, if you play 3b as hole 4, which is how I always play it.) Also a pro if you're pretty good.

Other Thoughts:

This is the course I started on so it will always be special to me.

I hear they will be adding at least 9 more holes sometime in the future.

Great course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 8, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

3 tee pads for each hole give great options for different levels of players. great variety of holes with some more open holes, many with heavy woods, water in play several times and some very major elevation changes. New building with bathrooms at the course. 20 holes now with plans to get to 24 soon.

Cons:

Only one of the 3 tee pads is concrete at present time. navigation is a big issue. we had played the course many times before but with changes it was still hard to find our way sometimes. The hill climbing on this course is brutal if you are not in shape.

Other Thoughts:

One of the very best courses in the area in my opinion. I love the choices that 3 tee pads give you. Not for the faint of heart as the heat is very bad up at the top part of the course (white rocks reflecting the heat) and the up and downhill movement is physically challenging.

Great Variety!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 7, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great diversity of shots and terrain. Multiplte teepads and pin locations. Awesome use of elevation. You will use every shot in your bag on this course. Good number of garbage cans scattered throughout the course.

Cons:

Would be nice to see all the teepads get concrete, but you can see the course designers are working at it. The only real problem I saw was some dificulty in navigation... This course could definately use a map or some signage to help out... The other thing I noticed was that being in a multi-use park you may have to wait for other park users to clear your area of play especially on the weekends.

Other Thoughts:

A really fun course! I enjoyed being able to open up on some of the long holes and also enjoyed the torment of hearing my disc's whack into trees on some of the more technical holes. If you are in the area or even if your not this course is definately worth the trip!!!

Unusual for a TX course...in a good way. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 10, 2007 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Excellent shot variety is the first things that stood out in my mind after playing. Through the course of a round (from any of the 3 sets of tees), you'll use almost every shot in your bag.

Lots of elevation changes!!! Some holes have extreme elevation (for the area...nothing like a ski slope course), others have just slight changes, but almost every hole brings elevation into play somehow. This is fairly unusual for a Texas course, especially one near the DFW Metroplex.

MANY technical shots...I can't remember a single "gimme" birdie on the course! Several holes border on sadistic from the long tees, which I find quite enjoyable. All of the wooded holes are memorable and unique, and the hill-to-hill hole (can't remember what # it is) is very fun from the long tee!

There is a nice creek that is used very smartly on a few holes, but it's shallow enough to get your plastic back if you land in the drink.

All in all, great course for Adv/Pro players, might be a little challenging for lower divisions, but doesn't mean it wouldn't be fun :)

Cons:

The course can be difficult to navigate your first time through it you go it alone. I managed to eventually find all the holes by myself, but it was a little frustrating (still well worth the effort though).

Some people might dislike the dirt/natural teepads on the short and long tees (the medium tees all have concrete now from what I'm told...those came mostly from donations made my local golfers).

Not for the lazy golfer!!!

Other Thoughts:

Brice and the rest of the Crowley crew have done an amazing job on improving this course over the last few years...and the city is totally behind them. The course recently got a grant somewhere in the neighborhood of $20K for improvements to the DG course, so there will be another 9 holes (maybe more) coming soon! Look for this to become one of the state's premier courses over the next few years.

Very pleasantly suprised! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 28, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very pretty course! 20 holes to play. There were a lot of holes where the elevation changes by about 40 to 50 feet...some shooting uphill and some shooting downhill. This was the best part about the course for me...a pretty rare thing for Texas disc golf. The vast majority of the holes were wooded and required precise throws to be successful. There are plenty of holes to unleash on, which is a must for a good course I think. There aren't any major hazards where you can lose discs except for the creek which only comes into play on 17, 18, and 19. The creek is pretty clear and I haven't ever seen it very high, so with a pole or a little wading it is pretty easy to get a disc back. The long tees were fantastic! I enjoy playing them more than the whites. Most of the mid-distance tee pads were concrete. This was a very good course that was challenging and had a good mix of holes requiring lots of different shots. Concrete tee boxes on all red and white tee locations.

Cons:

The short blue tees do not yet have concrete tee boxes. A little bit tough to navigate your first time out.. Better navigation guides, concrete tee pads for all teeboxes, and permanent signs that show par, distance, hole #, and pin position would greatly improve this course. There are only temporary signs up on some of the holes for now. Getting from 10 to 11 was a pain as well. Short tees are way too close...maybe good for beginners. The concrete tee pads aren't extremely smooth, making them very slick after a rain.

Other Thoughts:

This course totally surprised me. When I first drove up I thought, "Oh great, another wide open course in a neighborhood park!" I was wrong. Even the few holes that had somewhat open fairways were great. I played the long tees because they looked like a lot more fun than the middle distance and short tees. Some of the shorts looked way too close. I've been out to this course several times now, close to 45 minutes from home, and it is worth the trip every time!
