L.L. Woods

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 7, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-- The basics are just about all there. Huge concrete tee pads (13 feet long, 8 feet wide at the back end, and 5 feet wide at the front); new blue Dynamic Disc baskets; excellent tee signs with all of the info, including a map of the hole; directional aids to direct you to EVERY hole; restrooms in the park; trash cans; some seating; water fountains.
-- Best holes: 5 has a basket basically on a peninsula, with a culvert 30 feet short of the basket and 20 feet left and a bridge behind the basket. 15 is a 266-foot RHBH anny. The culvert and several trees line the right edge of the fairway.
-- Maintenance is excellent.

Cons:

-- No map on site. Given the navigational aids, it's not a big deal.
-- A large part of the course plays back and forth in a fairly narrow part of the park. The walking path brings some safety concerns, but 4 and 9 are bigger concerns. They play parallel, so standing on one of the tees, you could get hit by a drive.
-- Missing T signs on 2 and 12.
-- Long walk from 12 to 13.
-- Tee sign on 4 says 382 feet; something was clearly moved because the hole is about half that length.

Other Thoughts:

-- Multi-use park brings you two covered pavilions with picnic tables and an outdoor basketball court.
-- Holes 9 and 16 have longer (natural) tee pads. They don't add a lot, perhaps 50 feet in length, and they don't change your line. There are signs at those longer tee pads.
-- Hole 6 looks pretty boring (324 feet, flat with only a couple of trees). However, 8 feet past the basket, the ground slopes down to the culvert.

L.L. Woods 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 14, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

L.L. Woods is a easy, open and fun course. There is great parking and easy navigation throughout the park. There are red tee signs that point you in the right direction. The only navigation issue would be the gap between 12 and 13 as there is a little walk. This course typically has a few groups playing so you might be able to follow their lead. Most of the holes are short ace run/ birdie opportunities. There are a few that will let you stretch out your arm such as the last 5-6 holes. Like I've mentioned this courses it pretty open so you can almost treat it as a "field session". I work on my flick on this course and my approach game.

Cons:

Most of the teesigns are missing. The park is heavily used so pedestrians can get in the way so you need to be careful when throwing. There isn't much variation but this course isn't designed for that.

Other Thoughts:

This is a easy clean park that is great to bring your family or dogs. The terrain isn't rough and not a lot of stickers. This is a great course to really work on your game. With the course being so open wind can become a factor and makes your utilize different shots. Having an open course like this with limited obstacles is great to see areas of improvement in your game.

I think most people who play this course aren't looking for the technical shots (We have other local parks for that). This is a fun family friendly park that lets you try different shots and enjoy the game.

A pretty nice residential course for beginners 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 1, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

By far the most beginner-friendly course I've played in DFW since I picked up disc golf in June (I've also been to Denton, Bear Creek, Turner Park and Trophy Club). This can potentially be a con for more experienced players who are seeking a challenge. However, for newer players, L.L. Woods offers an easier intro to the sport.

Nearly impossible to lose/mess up discs on this course.

I encountered no hazardous wildlife.

Next tee location is marked with a red sign near the end of each hole. SUPER helpful for first-timers on the course.

Great course to introduce new players to disc golf.

Course appears to be well-maintained by the city of Lewisville, as it is a rather busy residential park.

Cons:

Lack of challenge. I've been playing about a year and I really only come here nowadays for forehand-only rounds and when I bring a new player along.

The vast majority of traffic on this course is people using the walking paths. Pedestrians very seldom pay attention to discs, so you've really gotta watch out for them. Many are elderly and walk really slowly.

Most holes have very limited tree coverage, so get there early in the day during warmer months.

Other Thoughts:

Probably the best beginner course in DFW. L.L. Woods isn't super long, but has some holes which allow you to let her rip.

Pedestrians aren't the most cordial here, it seems. I try and give a nice "Hey, how's it going?" to everyone I pass while I'm playing, but it seems I'm often ignored here (not the case at other local courses). Furthermore, the pedestrians here seem to walk slower than at other local courses.

Avoid this place on the weekends during summer months, especially early (8am and later), since the place is swarming with walkers. My dad and I tried to play a round here at 8 in the morning and maybe got to play 8 or 9 holes in over an hour, due to the insane amount of foot traffic. The tempo was wait about a minute for pedestrian to clear the area, throw off the tee, wait for another few groups of pedestrians to clear, throw your up-shot, putt, wait 1-5 minutes at the next tee to throw, etc. Brutal.

Beginner Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 11, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Easy to find the first hole since it is next to the parking lot
- Park is well maintained
- Bathrooms
- Large concrete tees
- Easy to navigate for people new to the course with the exception of going to hole 11 to 12. There is a concrete tee slightly to the left and behind basket 11 that people tend to go to, so they end up throwing at basket 1. The tee for 12 is to the right, across the walking path and there is a tee sign for it
- Difficult to lose a disc. If you can't find your disc and you are next to the drainage creek, odds are you are going to have to walk/run downstream to find it
- The holes make the most out of the few trees there are on the course and can provide a slight challenge to newer players
- Fun ace runs

Cons:

- There is a walking/bike path that is alongside the majority of holes
- Hole 6 has a busy road that plays to the left which may be a problem for beginners or when the wind kicks up
- The basket for 18 has a playground to the left, a backstop that is often used for baseball to the right and a swing set behind the basket. There are often kids walking in front of the basket as well. (Should only be a problem for beginners or when there is strong winds)
- Distances are wrong on the tee signs that are there and haven't fallen apart

Other Thoughts:

- Beginner course that would be boring for an advanced player
- There are benches throughout the park but not at the tees, they are located along the walking path and can be in the way on holes 10 and 11 when teeing off
- Drinking fountain by the tee pad of hole 10 is only turned on during the summer
- Holes 1-12 are short with well placed trees that give it a little bit of a challenge but not much
- Holes 13-18 are the longer holes but are wide open
- The course dries out quickly with the exception of hole 1 and around the basket of 2

Pros:

-Concrete tee pads
-A few benches on the jogging trail and near the pavilions
-Great place to bring beginners
-Optimal utilization of the few obstacles that are present in the park
-Start and stop near the main parking lot
-It is impossible to lose a disc

-Baskets are starting to age and lean a bit
-A few tee signs and "next tee" signs are missing
-There were a few boring open shots towards the end

L.L. Woods Review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 29, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Lots of Good Looks.

Relatively easy to follow.

Great course for night golf. Open and a limited number of trees with a lot of choices for shots.

It would take an unfortunate miracle to lose a disc at this course.

Last few holes are long and open if you want to chunk one.

I'd give it a 3.5 as a night golf course and a 2.5 as a day course. I'll average those to 3 for an overall rating.

Cons:

In the middle of a neighborhood on a long and narrow track.

A few baskets are very close together and could be annoying for anyone not familiar with the course.

Joggers and dog walkers using the trails woven between a good number of holes.

The only bathroom is near #1 and it is an open course in the middle of a neighborhood.

Other Thoughts:

The ground was hard and the grass short when I played this course. I noticed discs were skipping quite a bit more than my home courses. Players should be careful not to overthrow because of an unexpected skip.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 31, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great course for beginners.
Wonderfully maintained park.
Very nice tee boxes.
Navigation is very easy thanks to signage.
Trees give most holes personality.
Generally very open, some holes have nothing between the tee box and basket.

Cons:

Very easy.
Not a lot of variety.
Fairways are kinda close, but shouldn't be a problem if you can hit the fairway.
Not sure if the pictures on all the signs are accurate, but there is no problem finding the baskets from the tee box.

Other Thoughts:

Great course for beginners.
Great course for more advanced players to work on their ace/birdie game.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Park is very well maintained. Grass is cut short, tee pads, baskets are in great shape. Signs at baskets pointing towards next tee.

This is a great course to introduce someone to disc golf, or take someone still learning the game. The course opens as you progress, allowing newer players to get a feel for shorter holes and then really drive from the tee.

Cons:

Can get pretty busy during the weekends (lots of families, kids playing, people walking / biking on the sidewalks that roam throughout the course) so be sure it's clear before you throw (you should have no problem seeing from tee to basket on each hole).

Either some of the basket locations moved or some of the signs are wrong on distance.

Not a lot of variety here. It's very straightforward, a few holes with some landscaping (trees) mixed throughout, but that's about it.

Other Thoughts:

My friends and I try to play this course at least once a week for a night round. LL Woods is an EXCELLENT course to play at night; it is very well maintained. There's no fear of throwing in "the rough" and then searching for your disc.

I think this is a great course to relax and practice your game. If you need more of a challenge, head across the highway to Lake Park.

Great Beginner Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 15, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a very clean and well kept park. The tee pads are more than long enough to tee off on. There are signs directing you to the next tee pad. As the title stats this is a beginner friendly course. All holes are easily attainable for par. #1 is a nice little hole that is thru the trees. Some of the baskets are guarded by trees, but not so much that you would be scared away. There are also some holes that on the backside of the basket it slopes downhill, so there is some risk reward on your approach/putt. The last 4-5 holes have decent length to them so you can air out your drives, but they aren't so long that you can't reach them in 2-3 shots. As previously stated there is basically no water threat, the drainage ditch could have some water in it, but it is not deep enough that you should loose a disc.
This course will not be all that challenging to an advanced/pro level player. Good for practicing medium range drives and up shots.

Cons:

#4's basket was missing its sticker so there was some confusion as to what basket to aim for. There were a few holes that were missing the yardage signs.

Other Thoughts:

Has a nice restroom facility in the middle of the park. There is also ample parking and a nice playground and basketball court for the family members that might not be into disc golf. This is the first course that I ever played on so this place is kinda special to me in a way. During the summer it can get crowded with other disc golfers and walkers. The first time I played here, summer of 2010, there was a school group having a picnic in the park and a kid tried to steal a friend of mines disc. I played here, 3-15-2011, in the morning on a weekday and there was no one playing but there were about 5 walkers, so be aware before you throw. Overall a great learners course.

Excellent Beginner course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 8, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Great Tee Boxes and signing. I always knew where to find the next Tee Box after I finished a hole.
-Great usage of limited space. A could see the city making it a 9 hole course based on the area they had, but they pulled all the stops and made a nice 18 hole course.
-Very clean park, well groomed.

Cons:

Can get crowded at times, with people hanging out at the park and there were allot of fellow discers out there when I was there, maybe a sign that there should be another park in the area?

Other Thoughts:

I am from the Austin area, and I was visiting some friends and they took me out to this park. I really enjoyed it, very friendly environment with a relaxed environment. Very good course to go have a chill game and/or practice. To me the first 12 holes were very much different from the last 6 holes, which made it interesting.
-I played this one in the winter and there were no leaves on the trees and all of the grass was dead. I wonder how the course would have been during the spring and/or summer.

Top 3 Cleanest Courses 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 31, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1. This is one clean course. The park is very well maintained (I did see it once not mowed, but that was quickly fixed that weekend). There really is not any trash.

2. All tees clearly marked, and all pads are cemented. The "pseudo" creek is all cemented and never really fills with water. Very easy to get your disc.

3. There is plenty of parking and fairly easy to get to.

4. There are a couple of good holes that may be challenging.

Cons:

1. There really are not any obstacles, you can pretty much launch in any direction. There are a few trees but mostly get in the way if you mess up you mid-shot.

2. Rather short course, you can bomb almost every hole, except maybe the first one (its way too short and not very challenging, if you dont birdie that one, you will par it)

3. There are no elevational changes or challenging tee placements. Its pretty open.

4. It is a shared park so you will get kids as obstacles, along with joggers and even some homes. Ive landed one disc in someones back yard as well as their front yard.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course if your looking for good practice before you go onto the other side and play the lake. I play courses based on location and love it when its in pairs. 2 in lewisville, 2 in mckinney, 2 in cedar hill, dallas and garland (i count that as two also).

good starter course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice park for the most part. Easy to get to and close to home. This was my first course to play. It is a great place to "learn" how to play. There are a couple of par 4's all the rest are par 3. Easy to make birdie on several holes. However several holes are harder to make par on.

Cons:

Late in the afternoon at time you may have to throw over soccer players that play on hole # 17. Can usually play all holes in 45 minutes to an hour with no problem at all.

Other Thoughts:

Nice little course

Ace run wet dream! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 27, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

LL Woods is a very nice, well kept park surrounded by neighborhoods. It is a pretty short course, but very fun regardless. There are plenty of good ace run holes here. Nice concrete teepads, good baskets, and decent sinage. Couple of holes long enough to let it rip. This is a perfect course to play when other courses are going to be too crowded, or if you are playing both Lewisville courses is a day.

Cons:

Mostly flat, wide open shots. Not a whole lot of variety. It is also not one of the more challenging courses in the area. The are usually quite a few non disc throwing pedestrians, so you need to be cautious when driving on certain holes. I don't play this course very often because when I'm in Lewisville, I prefer to play the Lake course.

Other Thoughts:

LL Woods is a course worth playing. It's a perfect course to get your first ace, but you have to work for most of them.

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.

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.

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.
