Jane Long Middle School Disc Golf Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 18, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

First things first, this I think is primarily a course for beginners. Nice course for learning a few decent distances and curves if you need some practice in that area without losing too many of your favorite discs. Well manicured. Most chains are visible from the previous chain. Nice disccatcher chains appear fairly unused and in excellent condition. No water hazards visible. Again if your relatively inexperienced this comes in handy. It is around the backside of Jane Long Middle School football field outside their fenced areas so less likely to bother or be bothered by middle schoolers in practice. Most of the chains are fairly close to each other and not alot of long drives are needed. In fact its very possible to leave your distance drivers in your bag and play the entire course with your midrange's or even putters if you have a good enough throw. Even for beginners, advised to use midranges and putters for better learning possibilities.

Cons:

Absolutely zero tee off markers and no idea of the range from hole to hole. I had to guess where the first hole began and to make it even a little challenging i had to start off near the parking lot. Too close to parking area for comfort really. Have to play chain to chain for every one after that. Lots of high grass and mildly dense trees surrounding one side of the entire course so for beginners its easy to lose a disc if you dont pay attention where you land. Recommended for midrange and putters so no need to use drivers which made me sad for I do love my drivers. Its in texas so winter hardly ever plays a factor for westher related inabilities to play but it is on school grounds and is expected to keep traffic to a minimum during school hours. Unfortunately the school is occupied well up to 5:30-6pm so for winter months it only gives you roughly an hr to review and learn the course before darkness steals your fun. (Unless you have some glowing discs in your arsenal, also fun) Extremely short course again so if your an experienced player you will get little enjoyment out of this course due to lack of difficulty so if you seek a challenge........look elswhere.

Other Thoughts:

Overall im not displeased with the layout of the course personally. I find it challenging enough to bring the kids out and help them learn the game and if your there with your kids during school hrs your less likely to be run off. At least so far that is. Dog friendly however it is advised to pick up after your dog seeing as it is school grounds and police pressence is eminent. Don't ruin it for the rest of us. Pick up after your dog and keep it a pleasent experience for the rest of us please and thank you. All in all, clean course. Good sturdy disc catchers. I will probably speak with the school regarding rules for property and possibly tee markers in the future and post what i find out. Stay tuned. And play hard folks. Make us all look good. Peace.
