The course in Fairfield gets its first bump in a rating for being the only 18 hole course for miles around and doesn't have egregious issues like some isolated courses tend to have.

The course plays in the main park of the City and features lots of variety in shots from relatively shorter wooded holes along the river, to longer holes at the front to wide open bomber holes. There are quite a few short water carries that add a little bit of excitement and risk to an otherwise fairly easy and straightforward course. There are a few ace runs and fairly challenging par 4s as well.

All of the holes have concrete tees and nice tee signs. There are also shorter holes that are denoted by long red stakes in the ground. The red tees are much shorter and takes away some of the water risk, so it's perfect for newer players.

The biggest con of the course is the questionable navigation. Hole one starts with a dog leg left and then you have to walk back through the fairway and another .25 miles to get to hole 2. The tee signs have arrows to the next hole, but the tee signs are upside down and not super intuitive to read. I'm almost certain some of the arrows to next holes were incorrect.

You then have to walk back through hole 1 fairway to get over to hole 11 to start the back part of the course.

The course is solid all in all. Like I mentioned, its one of the few courses right off of the road between Houston and DFW and it's easily the best. Though to be fair, it's not hard to beat the crappy course in Corsicana.

If you have time, I recommend stopping. It won't wow you by any means, but it has some challenge and fun.
