Great for my kids with short arms. They love being able to get close on 1 or 2 throws
Clean park
Good signage
Tee pads and baskets maintained

None it is what it says it is

Great family friendly course. Kids love it, short enough they aren't having 10-15 throws per basket great way to get them excited about the game . Fun for a pitch and putting for an adult with experience.

This is a short course done right. It features all of the amneitties that a great course would have, but the perfect distances for young kids, old kids and the whole family.
It has better-than-most concrete pads plus nice DisCatcher baskets. It seems that the concrete pads were installed after the initial installation of the baskets, so kudos to whoever wanted to make this course that much better.

There are an ample amount of trees on the course, but well defined lines on the very short fairway. Some holes you may have to flick or throw an anhyzer, something that you may not be accustomed to at such a short course. Shooting 9 2s all in one round would be quite an accomplishment, and something that I would strive for if I played this on the regular.

Hole 8 is definitely out of place. It is twice as long as the next longest hole, and if you are just playing with a putter, like I did in my round, getting to the hole can be tough. It was the only hole that really had no obstacles to speak of as well.

Besides trees, there are no other obstacles or dangers like water hazards or elevation. The piece of land is as flat and dry as can be.

The name of the course really speaks for the type of course that it is: A family course. It isn't one where you will crank your Boss out 550' in Internet feet and park a par 4. It is a course that will test your short game and you will have fun as well! I would definitely play this course again and would recommend it for a quick play as well.

The name says it all, "Helotes Family DGC". It's not designed for advanced or even intermediate players. if you're looking to show off your big arm, this isn't the course for you. But if you're bringing your kid out for the first time, or your 15 year old girlfriend, or your wife and your 15 year old girlfriend, then this is the course for you.Only # 8 (259') tops 200 feet. The rest are ACE runs 198' and under.
The course only utilizes about half of the small community park. It's flat with lots of smallish trees. There's a couple of gazebos for picnickers and benches at every tee. The tee boxes are three sided with 4 x 4's bordering the sides and back leaving the front open. The baskets are discatchers with the wide yellow band.
The course designer(s) definitely wanted players here to throw anhyzers/forehand flicks as those throws are needed on at least 3-4 holes.
Basically, the entire course is an ACE run, which is totally fun for anyone.
# 7 gives you the option of two routes to the basket.

The # 8 natural tee pad has a pretty serious indentation, probably from players having to crank it out their all of 259 feet. Probably a lot of sore arms needed to be iced after playing that behemoth hole!
The course is flat.
There are no water hazards.

This course is what it is. That is, a great little beginner/family course. Don't try to make it out to be anything more. It's quite perfect the way it plays now.

Question? Why is it that this simple little, short 9 hole beginner/family course has (A) House numbers on the 4 x 4 borders giving the hole numbers and (B) Large clear numbers on the baskets BUT it seems like everytime I play a course with 900 foot holes and multiple baskets in the distance and could use some navigational aids, there are NO MARKINGS TO BE FOUND!

This is a great beginner course. There are a few holes that have woods such that you have to throw straight or throw such that the disc curves from left to right around the trees. Great course to practice using your mid-range disc.

The course is fairly easy. I birdied 7 of 9 holes and I am a relatively new player.

The course is very good for beginners and for practicing your approach shots. There are few tree hazards which are good for beginners.

Fun short course with some challenging tree lined fairways. Ample parking although the course is rarely busy. There are benches by some of the holes allowing for a quick break or a place to sit while letting someone play through.

Short course with no true opportunity for working on those power drives. Players need to watch their step as there are countless holes in the ground that are easy to trip on.

Nice course for a quick round.

This was a fun short course. I realize a 3 may be rated to high but I am rating on the design of the course and other features as well. They have scorecards, benches and trashcans. A big welcome sign. They have nice DISCatchers. This course makes great use of all the available trees. I also don't remember a hole where you are throwing across another holes fairway, which is nice considering how small the space for the course is. I like the tunnel shot on 3(?). I also like the challenge that hole 7 presented being so tight.

This is definitely an easy course but the designers meant for it to be a family course. I would of liked to seen some tee pads because some of the pads were a little rough such as hole 8. Hole 8 had a steep dip in the tee pad.

This is a great ace run course which adds excitement to every shot. Even if this course doesn't give you any challenge it never hurts to practice your upshots and putting.
