surprisingly good 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 3, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Obviously the big thing here is the long distances. This is the only 9 hole course I've ever played that I wouldn't call beginner friendly. Grass was mowed and park was clean, restrooms on site. The tee signs were the old school ones you see around courses in Texas, but still accurate. Pin placement was very good, they don't have a ton to work with for obstacles, and I think they did a good job. Hole one especially I like the guardian trees.

Cons:

Few trees. This is a good place to work on your drives, and you an improve your game here, but it's very different from most of the courses I've played. The wind was a huge factor, because it's a lot of open shots. I'm not a big fan of the DGA baskets because they're difficult to see, and with the long distances you really have to watch the signs to find things.

Other Thoughts:

I really like this course, and I'm going to play it again when I'm driving through. It's not a fast play because of the length, but it's good. Thoughts
Hole 1: Sign missing, starts near the entrance sign and goes towards the great guardian trees.
Hole 3: you can't see this hole from the box, it's way around to your left. Don't be fooled by 4, which is straight ahead of you.
Hole 5: Watch that building, I smacked the wall so hard the sticker from Disc Nation came off my new disc.
Hole 9: Also not straight ahead, it's off to your right near the middle of the park. Also don't shank it into the cars.

Very long 9 holer 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 25, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is probably one of the longest nine hole courses around. Most of the holes are around 400' to 500'. It makes very good use of trees, having the tees and baskets located where they create obstacles. Located in a nice city park, the holes are located on the edge of the park, keeping most of the park traffic away from the disc golf. Very nice baskets.

Cons:

There is a lot of private property than can be thrown onto if you go OB. The neighbors we talked to seemed very nice when we approached them about going onto their property to retrieve discs, but it still could be a problem. There's a jogging trail, playground, tennis court and parking lot that all can be thrown into, as well as a pavilion and amphitheater. The exact location of the tees is not marked.
A few of the tee signs are facing the wrong direction, including hole 1. When looking at the hole 1 tee sign from the parking lot, you will be throwing to the left (this can save you a lot of head-scratching).

Other Thoughts:

For the most part a very nice course. If you're going through Corsicana it's worth a stop, I wouldn't plan a long trip specifically for it, though. If you live in or around the area, it's probably a very nice home course.

Good but don't go out of the way 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 26, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

well maintained, good open shots for practice or beginners, fun distances

Cons:

pedestrians, random shots over park area and tennis court

Other Thoughts:

this is a decent course if your in the are, but don't make a special trip for it. It is good as an everyday play but Cedar Hill is only an hr away and well worth the trip
