Good Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 24, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course is open on both ends with good long drives and in the middle its going through trees. The creek is small in which its easy to get disc back. Great for practice and usually not crowded.

Cons:

Some of the signs are missing for some of the holes so it takes a play through to figure out the tee areas. Also can get muddy in some areas around the baskets.

Other Thoughts:

I like that on some holes there are pro tee's.

Nice - Open 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 12, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy to get to, the course is well laid out and makes good use of trees, creek etc...to force you into better shotmaking. Not at all crowded, so you can throw multiple discs and work on your game.

Cons:

The last 3-4 holes are a little disappointing; they pretty much just zig zag across a field. Lots of fire ant hills, especially on holes 6-9.

Other Thoughts:

There are plenty of places where you can 'loop back' and re-play several holes if you'd like. 6th tee was a little out of the way - cross the bridge and look up the hill in front of you.

open city park 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 8, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-well laid out holes make the most of the space
-great concrete pads
-nice suburban park, clean, trash cans
-confidence boosting short holes on the front 9
-some well placed trees dotting the course, some trees shape fairways or force a shot to one side or another
-playground for the kids
-play the paths and beyond as OB for a more challenging round
-there are long tees for many holes and a long layout for tournaments
-no undergrowth, lost discs shouldn't be an issue
-great for glow rounds

Cons:

-the regular layout is very short, front 9 are all duece or die for experienced players
-mostly open, not too challenging unless you play the path and beyond as OB
-pedestrian paths all throughout the park, weaving through the fairways. good for OB challenge but lots of people walk through the park

Other Thoughts:

This is a long skinny neighborhood park. The front 9 goes back to the end, back 9 comes back and circles around a more open area where the holes are longer.

Pedestrian paths and small culvert (OB) run through the park. There are some trees, used well to create obstacles. No tight lines but there is more than 1 line on many fairways.

If you're looking for a most challenging round then play the path and beyond as OB and there are also a handful of long tees though not all are marked permanently. There is also a longer tournament layout with extra long tees and longer basket positions.

This is a fun course and a decent place to get in a round but it's not memorable. A couple places to air out the big guns. If you live nearby or happen to be in the neighborhood then there is no reason not to play here. That said, Lake Park is not far from here and I think it's a much more fun round.

at least its something to shoot at 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 31, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course is nicely laid out with minimal distance between each hole. The course is part of a park so the fairways are very nicely maintained. If you lose a disc here there's something wrong with your game.

Cons:

The course is VERY short and the holes are laid out on top of one another. Also there are few obstacles and OB other than fellow park goers.

Overall Average Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 18, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

For the most part a very short course, up until the final few holes. Easy course to play if that's what you're looking for. Nice concrete tees and double chain baskets upholding the standard for most DFW area courses. The tee signs are decent quality. There are multiple pointers to the "Next Tee" to help navigation. Some pointers are located on the baskets and others are separate signs. The course makes good use of pin placements next to the water's (okay... drainage ditch's) edge on some of the middle holes to up the challenge factor. Challenge can also be increased by playing sidewalk and beyond as OB. Restrooms and trash cans on the course.

Cons:

Some holes play very close to each other; combine that with tee signs that have incorrect distances and you have a recipe for confusion. E.g. On hole #4 there are two visible baskets very close together and it's not obvious which one should be played. [As a general rule stick to your side of the sidewalk.] The sidewalk weaves through the park and can lead to pedestrian interference. Several holes in the middle of the course are missing tee signs, luckily the concrete tees make it easy to see the tee boxes. No elevation changes. This course (standard tees) is too easy for intermediate and up players.

Other Thoughts:

There's a rumor of Long/Pro tees on this course and I did see a marker for one of them, but they're flush with the ground and unmapped making them virtually impossible to play for first timers. When playing this course as an ~900 rated player I felt like I could birdie just about every hole. A few of the latter holes take a decent long throw or roller to get into birdie position and those holes are usually pretty open. Sometimes it's nice to play a decent course where you can rock the scorecard and don't really have any risk of losing a disc either.

Hey now 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 2, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Cool course that gives a little different look from the "lake". The front nine has lots of short holes that you must bird to score well here. Good tee signs and pads as well. Very easy to follow and it is always mowed. You can throw lots of different types of shots on most holes ranging everywhere from RHBH to LHBH and everything in between! You get to try out your drivers on the back nine because of the much longer length. Fun course for all skill levels and can be made harder for the pro/adv players! When played with the lake it can make or a fun 2 rounds of golf.

Cons:

People walking along the trails can get kind of frustrating at points. Not alot of shade so it can get hot. Bring drinks cause it is a way back to the parking lot.

Other Thoughts:

If you play concrete and beyond OB, ths course is very fun and challenging as well!

Not bad 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 15, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

VERY WELL LAID OUT!!! Great mix of open shots and lightly - moderately wooded shots.

Cons:

Lots of short holes. It is part of a public park that has a cement trail that runs along most of it, so you have to wait for people to pass when the park is busy.

Other Thoughts:

Play the drainage ditch as out of bounds if you want to challenge yourself a little more.

Expect to wait to make your shot during the weekend because of the crowded park. The best time to play this course is in the morning and early afternoon on a weekday. If you are out playing on a weekday morning, hit up Lake Lewisville as well, since it is crowded with golfers on the weekend.

Pros:

Park and clean and has Bathrooms. Easy to find your way around the course.

Cons:

Hole 18 needs to be moved away from ball field and playground area.

Other Thoughts:

its a fun simple course to play. I like the park. I think this is the best course in the Dallas area. .NOTE HOLE 16 is missing the top part of basket and chains.

Putter Practice!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 2, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

this course is well maintained, with decent bathrooms and a playground nearby if the wife and kids wanna come and dont wanna play golf. no real hazard of losing a disc(which is always a plus lol). great course to take begginers learning the game. these short holes will definitely be a confidence booster. I your a more experienced player it might be a lil boring but there are plenty of ace runs, basically every hole. so come out and test out your accuracy, or as someone else had posted play on a windy day. this course is wide open so the wind makes it a little tricky.

Play sidewalks and beyond O.B. and this course plays a lot harder...great course for a quick game of night golf!!

safe neighborhood
little traffic(as far as golfers go)......fairly easy to navigate....

Cons:

short. just depends on what your looking for. me personally i like a little more excitement.

A LOT OF WALKERS, so watchout.

the playground i mentioned earlier is right next to 18s basket so be careful and watch out for little kids.

Other Thoughts:

bring sunblock little shade
always good for a quick round
**if you think this course is a little too easy, start looking for the long tees....its just a small block in the ground with distance marked on it, ask a local and im sure they could show you to them....kind of hard to explain on here

Nice little course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 17, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course doesn't take long to play at all. If you have other plans, but you want to squeeze a quick round in, this is a good one. Great practice course, as you can use every throw type on every hole. It is easy to follow due to the signs next to all the baskets. Nice park with friendly people. The course is also a nice little walk.

Cons:

Not a lot worng with it. The sidewalk does go through the middle of the course, but I played on a Saturday, and there was hardly any traffic. Some signs were missing, but you can see every basket from the tee. 18 is close to the playground, but it isn't too bad, the kids stay in the playground...just play to the basket and you won't hit them.

Other Thoughts:

Great course to start on I would think. Like I said this course is perfect for practice. I will continue to play it from time to time. Everyone isfriendly, so don't be shy.

good for novices, or for practicing 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 24, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Almost every tee is concrete and easy to find.
Baskets from most tees are directly ahead and in plain view. This makes it easy for new players to find their way around.
Green scenery is aesthetic and well maintained.
Many holes are long and wide open. You can get in some really good driver practice here!

Cons:

The final holes are near a playground that frequently has children around it. Not that I don't like children, it just makes me nervous because I have a tendency to overthrow sometimes!
The location is also close to a neighborhood, but I only found myself retrieving a disc from a front yard once.
There are several ditches between many holes of the course. On a dry day these ditches are pretty much empty, but beware if you play after it has rained because they can build up with gunky water. On the good side though, it is never deep enough to lose a disc, you just might have to wipe it off.
The course is quite flat in most places.
There are few trees but on the first hole several trees are positioned directly in front of the tee. This can be frustrating and get you off to a bad start.
Walking distance between some holes is far. And a few of the later holes have you walking back and forth.

Other Thoughts:

I've been there four times now, all during peak hours, and have rarely seen more than three small groups of players. Unlike many courses in the DFW area, I have never had to wait on a group ahead of me to finish the hole. Now this can be either a pro or a con, depending on how you look at it. I have met many great people at crowded disc golf courses, so if your looking to make friends, you might want to go to lewisville lake or Denton's North lake park. But if you want a quiet, undisturbed round of disc golf, Leonard L. Woods is a good choice.

Doesn't Offend, Doesn't Excite 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 15, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Clear-cut lines for fairways and straightforward play here: on every hole you know what the preferred attack should be and you can always see the basket. Great beginner course. Can be played quickly. Well maintained and a good mix of long and short holes. There's a playground at this course so if you have kids, that's a nice feature to have close by.

Cons:

Overall, it's not a pretty walk - a "normal" neighborhood course. Sometimes there's lots of walkers and course winds through heavily traveled walkways.

Other Thoughts:

You can get a good workout for your game on this course - it's open so you can try all of your shots on every hole and get a good training session in. On a windy day, it's a great place to practice those wind shots as there's nowhere to hide.

Little course, little challenge, alot of fun on windy days though 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Short holes, fairly open, with few trees peppering fairways to keep it interesting. This course can be a beating in the summer with little protection from the sun, but if you want some fun on a windy day this course will definitely serve up a challenge being that it is basically devoid of windbreaks.

Cons:

Short and difficult to play on hot, windless summer days. Another reviewer put it well, that the last two holes are basically baskets in the middle of fields.

Other Thoughts:

If you have a friend who wants to play a round with you and they aren't very experienced, taking them here first would probably be a good experience for them. The course is open and very forgiving on any day with normal weather conditions.

Decent course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 20, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is well kept and the locals are friendly. Most of the holes a wide open fairways with mabye a few trees as obsticals. It is very heard to lose a disc here because the course is so flat and wide open. If your just beginning I would recommend playing here for a safe rould of disc golf. Most of the holes are fairly short but some really allow you to unleashed your power or work on it.

Cons:

The course go a little boring towards the end. The last few holes are just tees and baskets in a field. I think there were only two trees on the last 4 holes.

Other Thoughts:

The course is definitely worth playing once or twice but there a lot better courses within 10 to 20 miles

A Simple Little Gem 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 4, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This park is very clean, safe, and well maintained. The cement tee pads are excellent and the baskets are in great shape. The tee signs were easy to read and were in great shape. Some of the baskets on the front side are next to a drainage wash (with a downhill roll, you might find yourself in that OB) making you play smart on those holes. They have great little wooden signs near the baskets on most holes telling you where the next tee pad is located; that was very helpful. Most of the holes are wide-open shots and had just a few trees. You should not lose a disc here. They do have a bathroom and many trashcans on site.

Cons:

This is a simple little gem of a course and really has very few negatives. However this is what I came up with. This park was fairly crowded and the course does follow the sidewalk through the first half of the holes. So waiting to throw can happen often, but keep in mind we did play this course on a Saturday. You do have to back track to some of the tees on the front 9, so keep your eyes on the group behind if there is one, but it really wasn't too bad. Last thing I can think of is there have been some hole adjustments, so some of the distances might be off on the tee signs. I would trust what is posted in our Hole Info, to be safe.

Other Thoughts:

The Fun Factor he is just OK for me.There are many ace runs pn this course. The holes do get a bit longer on the back nine. So it plays to you warming up before throwing long. This course didn't seem like much at first, but it turned out to be a fun little course. I can see myself going back there to play it again without a doubt.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 19, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

If you're looking for an open course where you can really air out some discs then this is it.

There is a shallow concrete drainage ditch that snakes throught the course and provides a posted OB to avoid.

It has good concrete tee pads and signs.

It has a good variety of distances from 180' to 450'.

The out and back twice design means you can play half a round in a hurry if you need to.

Cons:

This could be an excellent course if it had a few more trees. It does'nt have enough shade to protect golfers from the brutal Texas summer sun.

Some of the posted distances and pars are obviously not accurate which means some of the baskets have probably been relocated since the signs were put in.

A sidewalk snakes right down through the middle of the course and you are always having to wait for pedestrians to pass before throwing.

Other Thoughts:

This course makes a great counterpart to it's heavily wooded big sister course, Lake Lewisville.

Fun Round 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 20, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a fun course to play if you are looking for a less challenging round. There are many birdie holes and ace runs available. There is a good mix of short and long holes. There are enough long holes with good tree obstacles to keep things interesting. The last few holes are good for the big arm thrower. About 7 of the holes have long tees, but they are not concrete and are difficult to locate unless you really look or have someone to point them out. Concrete tees, quality baskets, signs marking distance and par (although some baskets have been moved since the signs were posted...like holes 5 and 6), restrooms, and the course is not usually too crowded so it is a good place to practice. 10, 11, and 13 are fun holes to play.

Cons:

There is a lot of pedestrian traffic at this park and the walking path winds through the course with holes on both sides of the path so you're bound to have to sit and wait for someone to walk by before you can throw safely.

Other Thoughts:

Avoid hot summer days and windy days. There isn't much shade or anything to block the wind. In tournaments, on or across the sidewalk means that you are OB as well as on or across the drainage ditch or road. Playing the OBs and the long tees makes the course much tougher. In tournaments, usually this course and Lake Park are used. The scores are usually higher on average at LL due to the OBs and there being little to block the wind. If you think this course is too easy, play the longs and play the obs!

It's decent 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 3, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Well maintained park in nice neighborhood. Clean bathrooms. Easy to find each tee and hole as you go along.

Cons:

Mostly shorter holes, only hazard to speak of is a drainage ditch that runs through the middle.

Other Thoughts:

Very nondescript course. Wide open, trees are usually singles, holes are rarely obstructed by anything at all. Worth looking at if you want to do back to back courses with Lake Lewisville Park on the other side of town.
