One of the best in DFW!

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 30, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Really nice baskets with multiple locations that get moved around a lot
- Good tee signs show you all of the relevant information
- Good navigational aids, getting lost shouldn't be a problem and if you're uncertain just follow the group in front you, there likely will be one
- A decent amount of benches for the 40+ crowd or those of us with ankle/knee issues when you just need a few minutes to sit down
- Two concrete tee pads for every hole (red and blue)
- Lots of variety in how the course challenges you; elevation, trees, water, OB, distance, accuracy, you name it
- Lots of variety in par with everything between easier par 3 holes up to challenging par 5 holes
- Double fairways, I love double fairways especially well made ones and John Houck excels in this area, clearly
- Good mix of grass and dirty landing for your discs so learning what spots your disc will skip, not skip, skip more, etc. is something you learn after many plays and helps you score better
- a good amount of mandos which isn't normally my thing but for Star Wars fans you can get behind the Mandalorian. Whomever thought of this idea and then implemented it into the course I am grateful for you

Cons:

- The OB in certain areas is noted on the tee signs but not on the course. Could be times out here when it's ambiguous as to whether you're OB or not, looking at you hole 17!
- The course gets a lot of traffic, many or perhaps most casual players are playing the shorter red tees and not even notice you trying to tee off if you're playing blues
- Most of the course is about hitting gaps instead of hitting lines which makes the course easier compared to its par than if it was a lines hitting course
- Similar to above I would like to see a few more throws with tighter lines but I'm also a big fan of the woods, YMMV

Other Thoughts:

There are tons, I mean so many options in the DFW area that I was playing courses sun up to sun down for more than a week and I didn't get anywhere close to getting all of them, not even all of the good ones! I haven't played every course in the area but this course stacks up as one of the best I've played there in stiff competition. I'm a pretty big fan of John Houck designed courses for the most part and this one is one of his gems for sure. If you've only got one day in DFW, this is a course you should prioritize IMO.

Pros:

It's a whole new layout
Lots of new trees
New holes agogo
Hardscaping including a tiered fairway
Long bombers
Shorter ones too
John Houck is the man.

Cons:

It's a whole new layout
Still needs some fine tuning
Not much else really

Other Thoughts:

So I reviewed this course on the old page and to sum up what I said there..... I loved the old layout and played on it since original opening. I have played the new layout once and I think after a little further refinement from parks and rec and then just some good old fashioned play time the new layout will truly be epic. The course always seemed pretty big but now even more sprawling than before. The problem mud spots are lessened and more advantage has been taken of elevation changes. You can really rip some good bombers!! I want to love the new layout and I think in time I will. Right now I like it a lot. As stated in my other review it's a complicated emotion. So go play it already and form your own opinion. So be ready for something totally different. That being said there are still nods to the old course. Won't spoil it for you just yet. I'll update this later after I have a few more rounds in. Now if the weather will cooperate!!
