Pros:
Brazos River Park disc golf course is a fun new course in the southwest park of town, an area of town that is teeming with decent <18 hole courses.
The course has ample parking and brand new DisCatcher baskets. I really do not like when courses claim themselves as 18 hole courses with only 9 baskets. This one is pretty close to being able to actually make the claim for 18 (well, 17, since there hole 3 has one tee) unique holes. The longer tees are significantly longer than the shorter tees. You will be working hard for birdies on the long holes, while with the shorter ones, you should be looking at -3 for an Int/Adv skill level player.
There is a decent amount of elevation by Houston standards and the course uses it well. Baskets are perched higher than tees in some places like holes 6 and 8. And some tee shots you are throwing from high up like holes 2 and 7.
I enjoyed the two holes in the woods to sort of break up the monotony of all wide open shots. Kudos to the designers for having the foresight to plan and work that out. Navigation is no issue here.
Cons:
I enjoyed playing here, but it is a pretty typical course with nothing new to see here. There are a lot of wide open holes, but not much could be done about that with the land that was given.
The course winds with a walking trail. When I played, there was a dad with his daughter on a bike, and we crossed paths a few times. Luckily, he knew what I was doing so he was cautious and courteous of me, but I know that is the exception not the norm. Hole 2 cross the path all together.
Other Thoughts:
This is a fun play. I recommend, if you have the time, to play both sets of tees for the full experience. I almost did not play both, but I am glad I did.
Like mentioned before, this course adds another solid 9 hole course in an area that has a bunch.
