This course is challenging, with the sloping hillside coming into play on several holes. Without a doubt one of the most challenging nine- hole courses I have ever seen. Its in a really cool location- the overpass runs almost overhead of some of the pins, and cool little streams leading to the bayou. Actually fairly open, but with a lot of elevation changes, and the ever- resent bayou in play, makes it very challenging and interesting course. Lost discs aside, you will want to come back and play this course again and again.

Very unforgiving. The bayou is a cruel mistress, and will eat your discs good without a second-thought. My heart skips a beat every time my disc starts rolling after it lands, for fear it will fall into the water.

Even floaters won't really help you here, since the bayou current will sweep them away. Just be prepared beforehand to lose some discs, and enjoy the ride!!!

Very well marked Main set of tees with red wooden posts. Alt set of tees enable you to play 18 holes on the 9 installed baskets. Challenging hole over the water. Has a warm-up basket with putting distance stones by the skate park. Many of the old Strokesaver baskets have been modified with inner chains. Elevation! Not many courses in Houston play to baskets on hills; this course does it well.

Alt tees marked with yellow bricks are hard to find without a map. Course plays along a trail and as such you have to contend with potentially a lot of walkers, joggers, and bikers. With an average hole length of ~340' from either the posts or the bricks this course is generally too long to birdie and too short to bogey, thus you end up with a lot of uneventful 3's on your scorecard. Hole #9 from the post is a perfect example of lost potential: at 447' it's too long for most to reach off the tee so you play a safe 300'ish shot around the hill, make the 150' upshot and take the easy 3. If you'd shorten up the tee box so that it's reachable for more players off the tee then it becomes a much riskier hole as the 2 is now possible. The alt tee for #9 is a good example of this. Parking for this course is limited especially if the skate park is crowded.

As of Mar 2010 the course has been restored to mostly the original layout prior to the skate park being built. I didn't really like this course much after the first couple rounds, but it has grown on me the more I play it. Nice view of the Houston skyline if that's your thing.

Jim Mozola Memorial DGC has a very unique layout, and can be quite challenging on a few holes. The course primarily plays in and around the middle of the park with a few holes right along the bayou, leaving little room for error. The course has a walking path that meanders around most of the course, with mowed grass and plenty of trees during those hot summer days!

The holes that do come in to play around the bayou require good placement and precise shots in order to not wind up in the drink! If it does go in to the water you can kiss your disc goodbye! Baskets seemed alright for the course but do have a tendancy to penalize good putts due to lack of chains. The back drop of downtown Houston is very impressive, especially in the evening. The signs warning pedestrians and dog owners of alligators was a little disturbing but, made it a little more exciting as well.

I recommend this course if your ever in the city, and be sure to bring a few discs that you don't care about when throwing blindly over the water on some of the back holes.

Although harmless, beware of the homeless people laying under or around hole # 2. They tend to sleep under the overpass or go there to get out of the heat.

The dirt tee pads need work as well. They have become increasingly larger as the years have gone by, and make the course a little less appealing visually.

Last, finding the alternative yellow markes can be a bit of a chore, as they are hard to locate. Apparently there is a map so make sure you download it before playing those tees.

This is one of the most interesting 9 hole courses I have played due to its location, and is worth trying atleast once. With the picturesque backdrop, it makes for a fun quick round, especially if you work in the city.
