A little hot watch for snakes 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 5, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a great course with 22 holes if you count 6a and 6b. Some different variety. Lots of holes that you get to throw with all your might. Trees are mostly only in play near basket.

Cons:

It gets hot out there. Not alot of shade and the course covers alot of ground. Also saw a few signs of rattle snakes. Skins and such so be careful

Other Thoughts:

Some good wild life cranes hawks etc. Fun course. Some neat rock and carvings the locals have done

Bury Nice 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 1, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Very good course.
Solid Tees.
Good baskets with added chains.
Course map at hole 1.
Tee signs mainly for hole numbers.
Decent flow. (Take a picture of map at hole one.)
Large mixture of shots.
Multiple routes on majority of holes.
Good use of the land and elevation.
Some very solid basket locations.
Depending on location a lot of risk reward shots
Multiple pin locations. At least 3 per hole.
Very well maintained. No rough.
Good course to work on distance.
Driving Range distance marked with large rocks.
Practice basket when entering the area.

Cons:

Big arm course.
Not much use for a Mid off the tees.
Very Right hand friendly but has options.
No rough.
With the multiple pins some baskets don't line up with tees.
Flow is not the best.
Signs need updating / new signs.

Other Thoughts:

Really like the course.
Highly recommend play the course.
Very well maintained.
Course needs just a few added touches and upgrades.
It's nice that the course is by itself but it hides from the non throwers and keeps others from discovering the game.

I love Granbury 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 24, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Cement tee boxes for every hole
T-signs on every hole with a crude map and arrow to next tee.
Baskets have an extra few chains added to make them catch better.
Driving range with distance markers
Park is Disc Golf only, your not going to have very many non disc golfers in this park. It is away from the parking lot and surrounded by farm land and the railroad tracks.
Course map near hole 1.

Cons:

Cement tee boxes are almost long enough, but not nearly wide enough.
Several of the holes are basically wide open

Other Thoughts:

The park is nice but there are not enough tree's to make all the holes out there interesting. I would say it was about 1/3 wide open shots with only a tree or two, then maybe 1/3 with enough tree's to make it interesting, then the last 1/3 makes good use of the trees to define fairways.

The course is relatively flat, at most there is maybe a 10 ft elevation change on a few of the holes.

when I played, all the holes were in the shorts. That was very cool for me, not a fan of long holes. Most of the holes have 3 pins, some only have 2 and I saw at least one that had 4. Several of the alts would change up the hole, but a negative is the tee pad is so narrow, you can't throw the angle needed without starting off the side of the pad.

Best part of Granbury course is visiting Granbury, you need to go walk around downtown.

good vibes 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

concrete pads.well maintained..both wide open and technical shots..awesome trees.nice vibe.never crowded.shade.yellow painted chain pointing next hole a real plus for a beginner like myself..good feel

Cons:

no map was a big one for a beginner like myself.real bummer..course mostly flowed,could be made easier.signs are in but some are wood and not very pleasant.abundant poison ivy.

Other Thoughts:

this is my first reveiw.i am a newbie at dg (6 months).but an old "frisbee" player from the 60s..all the cons combined cannot outweigh the epic trees you get to play around here,great experience.great vibe,a really groovy course.if your in it for the fun,you have to go here..the solitude and openess are a breath of fresh air...

Nice Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 24, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course has a variety of different holes, with trees, mild elevation change, and a few water hazards. It seems to be well maintained, and it has a generally nice setting to it. Most of the holes have some sort o signage now.

Cons:

There are a few places the holes don't flow logically, so you'll want a map. There is a nice one at the sign by the first hole, take a pic of it with your smart phone and you'll be in good shape.

Other Thoughts:

Most of the holes are over 400', although there are a bit shorter. You'll need to throw 250' to 300' consistantly to par the course.
It looks like they're working on adding a 21st hole to the course.

Granbury City DGC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 21, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is long and challenging, the summer heat definitely takes its toll on you. I really like the variety of shots and the challenge of having to deal with the wind. I also really liked how the holes started very open and progressively got tighter which gives you time to find your groove. Conrete tee pads are nice and baskets in good shape.

Cons:

I wish every hole had tee signs to make the course a little bit easier to navigate, they do have a chain painted pointeing the direction to go but it would make navigation a little easier. The course is a little hard to find if you have never been there before because i didnt know i needed to go under that bridge and to the left for the first tee.

Other Thoughts:

The course is definitely worth the drive i really enjoyed it.

nice course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 30, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-great flow to the layout, very cool park
-has nice terrain to work with, despite the limited number of trees, there are subtle rolling hills and a few small ponds
-nice concrete tees and good signs
-good variety of distance, open & tighter fairways, left & right turning shots
-small ponds in play on a few holes
-park has trash cans and benches near the entrance
-plenty of parking
-practice basket

Cons:

-makes good use of limited trees but there is very little shade on the course, it gets hot out here
-some holes are just wide open, with perhaps one tree as an obstacle
-lots of open shots can get repetitive
-for a longer course, no real par 4 holes

Other Thoughts:

***New Update***
This course has really matured. It's now 21 holes but the old hole 20 (i think?) is now hole 1 (old hole 1 is now hole 3). One of the new holes across a little pond is fun. Good community of local golfers too.
*****

***Update***
Now an 18 hole course with a 19th hole that sometimes has a basket. Concrete on all the shorts, none on the longs. The new holes are great additions and a few are pretty challenging with distance and lots of obstacles. Great job!
*****

This is a fun course that is beginner friendly but still fun and challenging for int/adv level players. The park is nice and the signs, tees, and baskets are in great condition and well installed.

The first four holes are pretty much wide open. The first is flat and the next three play over some rolling hills. Hole 5 is a fun left-to-right fairway with a small elevation drop and Hole 6 plays over a pond and into a grove of trees. Hole 7 is my favorite with deep rolling hills and a channel of trees to navigate. Holes 8 and 9 have wide fairways but with some ceiling or tree obstacles.

Even though some of the holes are longer (1,8,9) beginners should have an easy time as there are no tight woods or thick underbrush; easy to keep it in the fairway. Just watch out for the water.

Looks like there is plenty of room to expand and there has already been an 18 hole layout for a tournament. I expect a full 18 holes lies in this course's future. A great course to introduce disc golf to the local area and promote the sport.
