The Pinnacle of Average Courses 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 26, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is on a very well maintained piece of land. There is a lot of room for the course, with none of the holes really throwing on top of each other.

Navigation was not a problem. The tees were all very well marked with small but adequate concrete tee pads.

The course has an ok variety of distances. The few trees that are thrown throughout the course provide some extra challenge on an otherwise challenge-less course. The creek that comes into play at the beginning and end of the course does add the most challenge on the entire course. Hole 17 was an especially challenging hole where you need to decide from the tee if you want to lay up or go over the creek.

Cons:

This might be the most average course I have ever played. No holes to me stuck out as good holes. With the lack of trees and obstacles, most holes felt exactly the same. Unfortunately, this course is not really a birdie fest that you would expect at a course with a lack of obstacles. The distances are mostly too long for an average golfer to put a string of "2"s together, so it takes a bit of the fun away

I had to wait a few times for a runner to run on the path that does cross multiple holes. Be careful and mindful for joggers. From what I could see, the course and park is not utilized too much, but it still is something to consider.

Other Thoughts:

This is the most average round of disc gold you will ever play. From reading the other reviews, this course went from bad to average, so that is a plus. There is very little risk to lose a disc, very few people so it may appeal to certain folks.

I have not played too much within the DFW area, but I am confident there are much better places to play than what this course offers.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 10, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

tee markers help navigate.
good use of the land with little elevation.
empty park, both times I've played i was the only one out on the course.

Cons:

Teepads are too short.
pretty wide open but with some fun holes where water comes into play.

Other Thoughts:

i live close so i enjoy it, wouldn't suggest someone to drive across the metroplex for it
It's a great course for a feel good round or work on your game.

Good Practice Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 25, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good open area for long shots and lots of holes to throw hard on.

Cons:

Not enough obstacle to be a course. There are some small bushes around and water along most of the course. The creek that runs through is very shallow and not wide, so it's not too hard to deal with. This park has too much public use to have a DG course on it. There are kids everywhere and adults walking slow everywhere. Kids picked up my disc twice to start running off and playing with them.

Other Thoughts:

This course is great to practice on during the week as I assume it has less people there. Don't go on nice weekends. It's packed!

nothing special 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 12, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

*concrete pads (reverse in typical direction)
*signage arrows
*flow well
*a few really good holes placement along creek for challenge.
*18 hole course

Cons:

*routine, nothing special really. each hole is a 300 foot throw in a field with a few trees.
*tee signs could help explain directions of throws. most were logical, but a couple had two baskets in close proximity.
*it weaves in and out of a heavily used walking track. I had to wait on almost every other hole to let a walker, kid on a bike, or random kid running to throw. I dont mind having to wait once or twice, but it gets to a point that its annoying
*no trademark hole

Other Thoughts:

hole 2 was one of the best designed holes, dont know if it was just accidental today or not. First time playing and some of the locals told me watch out as the water has not drained. It played like an island with water on both sides. I am assuming they meant there was normally not water around the right of hole. but it still made for a great hole

if the course wasnt in the DFW area, maybe the course would rate higher, but there are so many great courses in this area. I dont see myself making another trip out there.

good redesign 2+ years

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

Pros:

-redesign makes great use of the land features around the park
-a few of the new holes make use of the elevation
-new holes make really good use of the creek
-nice discatchers with directional arrows to next tee
-nice concrete pads, but a little short
-good variety of distances
-well-thought pin positions
-navigation is intuitive and easy
-playground for the kiddos
-still planting new trees but the one they planted 4 or 5 years ago still aren't really growing. could be awhile before that is ever a factor

Cons:

-never a day without wind at this course, deal with it
-pedestrians on the foot path, roaming children
-still a lot of wide open holes
-very muddy after a rain

Other Thoughts:

This course really benefits from the redesign. The new holes make great use of the land features with 2 holes making use of the hill and several holes playing alongside the creek. I also like that they ditched the 3 pads per hole and focused on making one well-designed tee location.

The layout is fairly challenging with lots of distance, water hazards, and the wind. Big arms can score well but the combination of the water and wind will make you think twice on some shots.

This course used to be pretty forgettable but the new layout is fun and a challenge. I'd say it is worth the drive to come check it out. It certainly doesn't compare to many of the great courses around the metroplex but for a change of pace, the course is definitely worth playing.

The good, The bad, and the ugly 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 12, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

They have nice park here that is kept mowed. It is new and the baskets and tee pads were all new too. The water will make you think twice and the few trees are fun too.

Cons:

Well...... NO MAPS!! Not on line and not at the park! That is totally frustrating wandering around a park with no idea where to go at times. I never did find the #7 tee pad. The little arrow sign on top of the #6 basket pointed to ??? The day I went it was HOT! There is very little shade as all the trees are young

Other Thoughts:

It is worth playing (in the morning during the hot summer) I lost a good disc here in the water on #2. That set the mood for the day sad to say :( I think if I played this one more I'd warm up to it. To me the first impression was "It's nice"
Please don't give me a bad review yet. I'm on vacation and will update it when I get home.
