Fun course with wind -- straightforward 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 26, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good, basic course. Decent mix of shots. If you and friends agree to use logical OBs (path and across, concrete areas, etc.), the course become more challenging -- especially with wind.

Last few holes of the original 18 are actually pretty cool and give the course a little more variety.

Cons:

Short, mostly flat, holes become similar. Not super technical without the wind. On a calm day, I'd be upset if I wasn't taking a lot of birdies; on a high-wind day, pars become challenging and make the course a lot more fun.

Other Thoughts:

Not a destination course, but a good stopover, just off the interstate, if you're traveling through TX.

Nothing exciting, but quick and fun -- no real drawbacks either. Just simple and entertaining.

Nice course, maybe not on a weekend! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice use of the park. Built in a Pecan bottom, so a surprising number of trees for Junction. Good variety of holes. Some require drives through the trees while others are wide open. A couple of baskets are pushed up onto the adjacent roadway embankment to give the only elevation change on the course, but their placement adds interest. The adjacent river is scenic but doesn't really come into play unless you really shank a drive. On the other side of the river there are six "bonus" holes in the city park. Decent holes that play among the trees on that side. Good tee signs on all 24 holes. A great location for 24 total holes!

Cons:

The 18-hole course is built inside of the county park. It is built around a number of playgrounds, volleyball courts, basketball courts, picnic tables and parking lots. We had it to ourselves on Monday morning, but there was plenty of evidence that the park is heavily used on weekends. I don't think that you could safely play many of the holes if the park was busy.

Other Thoughts:

Tee pads are small on the County side (bigger on the City side) but the ground is flat and hard so run-up wasn't an issue for me.

Might be too busy on a holiday weekend 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 7, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good balanced design. Just enough tight and open holes. Not too long or too short. The holes near the water are close enough to make you think but safe shots are there if you don't want to lose a disc.

Cons:

Gravel roads all over the park make it easy for cars and people to be in the way of disc golfers. Hole 18 plays over a parking lot. If its a big holiday weekend it may not be playable.

Other Thoughts:

No contact for any locals. Tee signs on 2 holes are gone already. Baskets are installed about a foot too high. Yes all of them. Shot -5 without too much trouble so it is not a pro course.
