Jack out da box 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 26, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It is fun. Very challenging course. There is a great mix of heavily wooded tunnel-like holes as well as wide open let-her-rip holes. There are other disc golfers out there all of the time. It is definitely an adventure to play this course with many challenges.

Cons:

Don't play this course alone...you WILL lose a disc. There were 5 of us with a couple of spotters on a few holes and we almost lost discs. If you can't find your disc, it is still up in the trees. The pace can be a little slow if there are a lot of people out there. If it has rained you will get mud on your shoes especially in the wooded areas.

Other Thoughts:

I highly recommend this course. It is a great course for beginners and old pros. A good mix of easy birdies as well as bogeys. I am looking forward to playing the second 18 that seems to be almost finished.

I almost got my 1st ace on #16, hit the top ring. And the crowd goes wild....

Two great courses in one park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 26, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course has a great mix of open and wooded holes. You will enjoy a mix of holes that make you think about your shot, and several holes were you can open up and just rip it. Well worth the drive from Houston. Only about ten miles from Galveston Island, and great place to visit after a great day of disc golf.

Cons:

Course always seems to have wind. The skeeters are really bad this time of year. Course can be a little muddy after a hard rain

Other Thoughts:

There are two great courses now at Jack Brooks park. Jack Brooks #1 is the original course, and is a great course for all players.
Jack Books #2 (the new course) as a lot more difficult, and is only recommend for players with a lot of playing experience. Pro players will enjoy the very long holes, encludeing #15 which is over 840ft.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 22, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Overall a well balanced and entertaining course. Community seems kind and active. As I was leaving I saw, what seemed to be, a whole new course. I'm excited to go out there again and try the new holes.

Cons:

Lost a disc on hole #10. I think it got stuck tree. At first a couple of holes can be confusing to navigate.

Other Thoughts:

It's hot out there so bring lots of water.

Out by the Dog Track 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 9, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Overall in very good shape. Minimal chance of pedestrian interference. Finishes with three tight holes through heavy woods. Simple wooden post tee markers are sufficient. First nine holes and last nine holes both start and finish by the parking lot making it easy to play only nine if you're in a time crunch.

The Brooks courses got a major upgrade in early 2011 with top quality concrete tee boxes on all holes. Teeing off in the mud should no longer be an issue!

Cons:

#18 is a blind tee shot through the trees that has potential to lose a disc without a spotter. If there's been wet weather the mosquitos will be very large and there are low spots on the course that retain water.

Other Thoughts:

Fun course to play. Holes #1 and #5 are all pretty similar RHBH hyzer shots that if thown decently should leave you a birdie putt.

Along with the installation of concrete tee boxes in early 2011 several of the holes were tweaked: tee box #3 moved back ~100', basket #4 moved back ~20', basket #12 moved to the right ~100', tee box #13 moved back/right ~100', tee box #18 moved back ~50'.

If this is your first time at Brooks, take a map because navigating from hole to hole can be tricky.

JB 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 9, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Well rounded course on a nice piece of land. Friendly and active disc golf "community". Requires several differerent types of shots and the challenge varies hole to hole. Not the toughest course, but one of the funner courses you will play.

Cons:

Moquitoes can come out in force. A little bit down the road from Central Houston but drive is worth it if you have the time.
