Good Beginner 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 8, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good beginner course. Pretty wide open and not much OB for upper caliber player. Good baskets and concrete tee pads, along with good tee signs. You can play this course very fast and multiple times!! Not very busy so you can throw lots of drives and test new discs/shots out.

Cons:

Too easy for Pro/Adv player. No bridges on backside. Other then that, there are no complaints.

Other Thoughts:

Bring suntan lotion in the summer. Dont know how it would be after a big rain with the creekbed being there.

Debusk DGC Review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 24, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Great signage at every hole.
- Great course to practice driving due to open terrain.
- Very attractive park. Part of the course follows a creek that comes slightly into play on a few holes.
- Course is well groomed and maintained.

Cons:

- Almost too open.
- You don't have to think much on this course.
- Needs more trees and/or shrubs to create obstacles or hazards to get around or avoid.
- Should build 2 bridges. One to cross over the creek from 7 to 8 and one to cross over the creek after 9 to get back to the parking lot.

Other Thoughts:

This a fun little course and I will definitely play here again. If you have a consistent throw and can putt at all, Par should be in range for even beginners.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 17, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is one of the funnest 9 hole courses I have ever played. I was suprised to see such good concrete tee pads and signs on a nine hole course. Most of the holes are pretty open but some trees and elevation do come into play.

Cons:

The only thing I don't like about this course is that you have to go up on a sidewalk along a busy street and cross a bridge between hole #7 and #8. Then you have to do it again after hole #9 to get back to your car.

A few more well place trees would really take this course to the next level.

Other Thoughts:

I would drive out of my way to play this course again.

Great for beginners / fun for ALL 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 14, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Scenic, well-maintained park with great concrete tees and good signage. The grass is lush in all but a few spots (mainly holes 3 and 4), and there are some minor elevation changes to keep it interesting.

Since there are only 9 holes, I'll give a brief run-down of each:
1) Just barely over 100' through trees with some low hanging branches. The basket sits less than 30' from the road, so you have to be careful if you're running for the ace. Trees force a slight anhyzer shot.
2) Almost 400' wide open with OB creek on the right and OB sidewalk on the left. Wind is a factor on this hole, and high shots that fade early will probably be OB. A few minor elevation changes near the pin can make putting more interesting.
3) Best on the course...around 375' downhill with large OB creek on left and behind, and large group of small/medium treed short of the pin to the right. Good example of "risk vs reward".
4) Another <150' shot...OB sidewalk comes into play near the pin on the right, and there are 2 small trees you have to navigate around. Drop in elevation behind the basket makes long come-backs more interesting.
5) Over a small hill, maybe 275' to the pin. The basket sits in a small depression, which may save your skip shot from going OB.
6) Another fun ace run...downhill, couldn't be longer than 150', through some trees with a line of trees along the right. Steep elevation change makes it a pretty fun shot.
7) About 350', nothing in the way except the wind...OB sidewalk on the left.
8) About 250', wide open with the basket sitting on the side of a large hill (maybe 35-degree incline, sloping down to the right side).
9) Just like hole 8...seriously.

All in all, it's a fun course to breeze through for Adv / Pro players, and a great introduction to the sport for beginners. Not to easy that you feel you conquered it the first time around, but not so hard that it'll drive anyone away.

Restrooms and water fountains near hole 1...

Cons:

Holes 7-9 are a little boring, but at least they're all shooting in different directions, so that you get to play in the wind from all angles. Pro/Adv players might find the course too easy, but I thought it was fun and a nice break from challenging courses I usually try to play in Dallas.

Other Thoughts:

The City of Mesquite installed 3 new courses in 2008, and I think they made a smart choice in making 2 of those beginner / entry-level courses. Of those 2, DeBusk is probably the most fun/challenging and scenic. It's centrall located, with a movie theater and lots of restaurants within upshot distance :)
