- Only single tee pads but concrete
- Baskets look good and catch well they even color coded them to the course you're playing which is a nice touch
- Multiple basket locations that get moved back and forth
- Tee signs are nothing special but at least you can figure out par and shape of the hole
- Lots of benches for those of us who just need a rest sometimes and aren't too proud to do so
- This course is much more wooded than the Beaver course
- Tighter lines brings higher scores especially with the brutality that the rough here brings
- I love the combination of going from or to rolling green grass and dirt/rocks/sticks
- A few more par 4 holes out here compared to Beaver helps with variety
- Good use of elevation going up and down through the woods, the grass, etc.
- Many holes require you to fade straight instead of hyzer/anhyzer which is a skill that is hard for most of us
- Lots of low ceiling drivesoff the tee reward accuracy
- Lots of spots where landing correctly will leave you with a 10 footer to hole out or a nasty roll away

- Again with the litter and vandalism, what the hell is going on here that we need to vandalize this beautiful place?
- It's laid out with the idea that after beaver you just continue on to this course which means a long walk to hole 1 from the car
- Again not a very friendly course for first timers trying to navigate it without Udisc
- The course gets busy and the parking lot is too small

Wow another well done course in DFW, this one with 2 courses on it. I actually like this course a bit better than Beaver but both are great plays. If you've got enough time for two courses before your flight or your spouse yelling at you this is a pretty good spot.

-- Beautiful park. This is a nature preserve, and poisonous snakes are among the inhabitants. Other than an occasional house or two you glimpse through the trees, you are unlikely to see or hear anything manmade that is not disc golf related.
-- Great land for disc golf. You've got trees, water and good elevation for North Texas.
-- Port-o-potty at parking lot.
-- Coyote tends to have shorter holes with tighter lines compared to Beaver. No. 18 is a good example. It's 200 feet downhill, but the first 50 feet is a tight line through trees. Hit one of those trees and get a bad kick, and bogey is definitely in play. I love wooded holes, and with my noodle arm, shorter holes. Nos. 2-8 fit the bill, all potentially 270 feet or shorter. Three of them are 225 or shorter.
-- Concrete tees pads, although some are chipped/broken at the corners. Some are fairly short.
-- Decent custom signs (old but mostly in decent shape).
-- New Veteran baskets are color coded for the two courses: Coyote is red, and Beaver is blue.

-- Long walk to reach No. 1, and long walk back to parking lot after 18. If you are playing both courses, you can save yourself some walking by playing Beaver first. After 16, it's a short walk right to Coyote 1. Play the full Coyote course. After 18, you walk right by the Beaver 17 tee on your way to the parking lot.
-- Many trees have been removed, but some toe-breaking stumps remain.
-- Navigation can be tricky. Having played the course dozens of times, I still sometimes have to pause to remember how to get to the next tee.

-- Ace runs abound with 11 holes potentially 260 feet or shorter, but all require accuracy with tree waiting to not just knock you disc down, but send it into serious trouble.
-- No. 1 is a mostly open 300-400 foot hole with a few trees to navigate, depending on the pin location. After that you are in the woods with tight lines until you reach 14, which is a 400-footish downhill throw with trees right and left but a wide fairway.

Great woods course, challenging lines and punishing rough.
Lots of elevation change, but manages to be cart friendly.
Accuracy is much more important than distance.
Tee signs are accurate (but aged).
Tee pads are good/adequate.
UDisc works well on Coyote--meaning signal coverage. If you don't have a guide, you will need UDisc to navigate between holes.

No potable water in the park. Portajohns were in place at the tournament I played, but I don't know if they are kept onsite normally.

Navigation between holes is challenging without a guide or UDisc. Even with UDisc it is challenging. There are some faded/worn markers pointing to the next tee on some holes, but this course could really use some navigation aids. Case in point, #1 to #2, and #2 to #3.

The tee signs are actually pretty good, but they have been there a long time and could probably use an update.

Lester Lorch is home to two courses, Beaver and Coyote. A portion of the Beaver back nine overlaps in to Coyote (mainly 1 on Coyote and 16 on Beaver). On a busy day, players need to be aware/cautious of throwing in to others on the course.

Getting to Coyote from the parking lot is a pretty good hike (almost 1/4 mile from the parking area). Bring your water or whatever you need for the round as going back to your vehicle is a significant effort.

A lot of the rough has sticker vines. When I had to go in, I was frequently able to find a route up and around the worst of it, but those things can really chew you up, so use caution.

I played Coyote in searing heat and high humidity, so my experience is shaded by that. The elevation changes are great for disc golf, but a lot of work for me (out of shape/overweight). If you are playing in the heat, be well prepared to manage that. Coyote is very shaded so that is a plus.

Lots of warnings about snakes, but I did not see any. Due to the dry conditions, there was a lot of brown leaves on the ground which could easily hide a copperhead.

Coyote is a course that is very scorable on most holes and at the same time it can really eat you up if you end up in the rough.

There are a few holes that are fairly open like 1 and 14, but you don't need to have a big arm to play this course well. Accuracy is key.

Coyote has a lot of elevation change from hole to hole, but manages to be very cart friendly considering the amount of up and down.

Regarding the elevation, the course isn't long in feet, but it is a workout due to the up and down nature.

Wish list:
Hole to hole navigation aids.
Facilities with running potable water. Very few courses I've played have facilities so this isn't unique, but I think this pair of courses could really benefit from having a source of potable water at a minimum.

*very technical
*good opportunity for a variety of lines and techniques on several holes
*good use of terrain

*not knocking the signage but it would be good to upgrade them a bit to help make finding tees a little bit easier.
*finding hole #1 for first timers is a little bit difficult. Maybe a billboard or something similar would help.
*limited parking.

This course kicked my tail HARD. I liked it!!

It was a challenge for someone like me who's a bit less than average player. Having not played in a couple months, this course was wicked tough for me!

The workout we got walking the course was cool too. Lots of good elevation changes.

All-n-all I really like both of these courses for a good challenge. On this course, there's several blind shots, but it's difficult to lose discs unless you throw a really bad hyzer straight into the woods. This course is not great for beginners but fantastic for pros. For the average guy, bring your A game and extra water.

Good tee pads
Lots of trees, mostly a heavy woods course which is rare in the area
Well placed baskets
Lots of elevation changes
Next to a another 18 hole course
Good amount of difficulty

A little tricky to navigate
no multiple tees
A few of the baskets move occasionally but most never move at all
You need to know where to walk from the parking lot to find the start of this course.
A few of the holes are more just a plinko game with no decent fairway.

If it is not too hot, this is a good destination for 36 holes of disc golf. Coyote is the harder of the two courses and has very winding and narrow fairways with heavy woods punishing errant shots. There are a few mostly open holes but otherwise you will be deep in it. Lots of the holes need a flippy or dead straight midrange from the tee rather than a full drive as you need to stay out of the woods at all costs. Lots of hills and elevations changes and some memorable holes make this a fun course.

Good mix of both short, moderate, and longer holes.
Lots of nice elevation change is present here as well.
Tunnel shots, threat of roll away putts, and lines that need to be shaped in order to score well. Low ceiling shots are present and holes that play dog leg left and right are present as well.
Signage is adequate and the tee pads are ample. There are benches here and there and directional arrows to assist in your navigation.
Multiple pin placements on many of the holes. Hole 1 has a good bit of length when it is in the long position at 530+ ft.

Bit of a long walk from hole 18 to get back to the parking lot. If you are playing Beaver then you could save holes 17 and 18 on go play Coyote and finish up that way.
For those players that like to use a cart I would caution that you are going to have your work cut out for yourself. Its not impossible but its not easy either.
There are a couple of places where it can be easy to get turned around a bit but not too bad.
A couple of the holes have a long distance from basket to the next tee. All of these cons should not discourage you from playing here.

The holes here at Coyote are shorter than those on the Beaver course, however they are also more technical. You need to have a complete game and be accurate in order to score well here. The layout is fun and the golf is challenging so what more can you ask for.
When you couple this course with its sister right next door it makes for a nice day full of action.
If you prefer a course that is shorter and technical then Coyote will be right up your alley. Beaver offers more opportunities to air out some drives but also has some technical holes as well.
These course are both excellent and are must plays if you are in the area. Good quality Texas Disc Golf!

Awesome tree lines that forces a wide variety of shot shapes
Majority of holes offer risk/reward and a chance of birdie-->bogey score span
Nice tees and decent signage, easy navigation
Holes 9, 10, 14 are particularly nice, memorable holes
Challenging but fair, no reliance on OB for difficulty
Course is in really good shape, well-maintained
36 holes on the property make for a complete disc gold experience
Bathroom on sight

For some, lack of chance to air out big drives
A portion of the middle holes in the woods feel a bit repetitive in nature
Lack of decisions, many holes just have one core line you're sort of "forced" to take
Not the most naturally pretty course, not much elevation or scenic shots.

This course was a real gem on my trip through the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I had a relaxing round where I didn't have to look too hard to find the holes, the course sort of made natural sense, and despite the tough winter conditions the course was in really nice shape overall. The Coyote course is the more technical of the two courses demanding straight accurate shots through a dense nest of tight fairways. With the other, longer and more open Beaver course next door, they make for an action-packed day of disc golf. I was a little sad that the Coyote course couldn't share in the excitement of the water holes afforded by the lake, which were the highlight of the other course for me. One aspect I really liked about this course was the fact that most of the ~300 foot holes were laid out such that depending on your drive you could end up with a birdie, par or bogey very easily, with some of the rough on the sides playing very difficult and forcing me to make tough choices between mid-range and driver shots. This is my favorite of the Dallas-area courses I was able to play this winter.

Concrete tee pads. Signs on every hole. Very well kept course.

Seemed to me that there to many tunnel shots on the course. A bigger area for parking would be nice. The course layout didn't seem to flow very well. Had to search to figure out where the next hole started.

Personally I thought some holes were to long to be par 3's. course requires you to be very accurate with your drive or the course will make you pay.

Very challenging
Great Upkeep
Concrete tees
Mostly shaded

Some tees are half size, can make it hard for those who have a ritual run up.
Luck comes into play on some holes

This course is as equally challenging as beaver.... instead of large open areas you have short heavily wooded holes that will have dog legs and protected baskets because of trees and etc. If you are a big arm type of person you will HATE this course because it requires softer more accurate throws. This course is for the thinking player! That being said, it is a great course and a even greater pairing with its other half beaver, these are MUST plays if you are coming through the area.

*short holes are made challenging by woods, and heavily curved (dog legged holes)
*concrete teeboxes
*great layout
*more shade coverage then beaver 2 to 14 and even 15 can be considered "covered"
*scenic, nice walk
*finesse course, if you are a big arm, no control thrower you will hate most of this course.
*kind of diverse, but its "s"turn the trees, or throw hard right or left around trees, then a few wide open shots
*not alot of wind-again big for playing in texas
*baskets were a little easier to visualize from tee box on this course compared to beaver
*most of course was easy to navigate (print the map)

*could have trouble finding first hole for first timers---print the map
*some short holes....but are made challenging
*i can see after rain how this course may not dry quickly
*even though there are a few long holes there are only a couple that you are able to really let one go
*nothing really close, so bring water from home
--again like last post nothing that would keep me away,overall, a very nice playable course, i would be a bit hesitant to play this course after a heavy rain

we played both courses in one day back to back with no break, this is a shorter course, so im glad we played this second. which i would suggest doing if you choose to play both. Print map from above link section

This is a very nice but tight wooded par-3 course with lots of variety in shots.
Several elevation changes throughout the day.
By far the most difficult course I've played.
Concrete tee pads.
There are also PVC pipes sticking out of the ground that will direct you to any unseen baskets.

Some poison ivy but I've seen much worse at other courses.
Little bit of a walk to get to first tee.
Could use an extra sign on a few holes where you need to backtrack down the fairway to find the path to the next tee box.

Clipping a tree or two and ending up in the woods is just part of your day here so don't get frustrated.
Also, if you start early you may want to play both Coyote and Beaver back-to-back before the Texas sun wears you out. Bring water and enjoy this great course.

Excellent use of the terrian, with a very high level of difficulty when it comes technical shots.

Not a lot of shot variety. Only really need a putter, mid, and fairway to play the course. I used my putter for the majority of the shots. Great form work, but I never felt like I had a hole that I could really let loose on.

This would be a nice course to play back to back with the Beaver course. Make sure that you bring good shoes and long pants. The terrian is rough and rocky and lined with thorny vines and poison ivy.

What a fun course to play. It's a tight technical course with a couple of bomb,
air-out holes. I love playing the two courses at Lester Lorch, it has a country -wooded feel to it. The course has a nice flow to it, you don't have to do a lot of searching for the next Tee-Box.

I really can't think of any "cons" for this course.

I really like play the Courses at Lester Lorch park. May be one day when I have time I can play both courses back to back. We're lucky to have to great courses right in the middle of the Metroplex.

let me know if you like this review and how I can make them better

-Tons of technical tree holes.
-Couple of chances to seriously bomb some discs, especially #14
-Nice and shaded for most of the course
-Pretty clean
-Well maintained. Granted, looked like they had mowed the day before.
-Will demand every shot you have in your bag to do well
-2 great 18 hole courses out here.
-Great use of the natural terrain
-No water holes

-Trees....lots of trees.
-Can get muddy after some rain
-Some of the holes can be real disc eaters
-Didn't seem to be enough places to sit down
-Speed bumps in parking lot.
-No water holes

Great course. I now have a new favorite hole of all time! Hole #14 out here is just a great hole to really let one rip. The pin is tucked into some trees so you have to have some accuracy.

Surprisingly, this course didn't seem to be too crowded on the 4th of July weekend. Only had to let one group play through and they were way better than us, so it was ok.

This course requires having to throw to the right and the left. It really doesn't favor one throw or the other. Great mix of right and left doglegs and a few long holes.

Ace opportunities on a few holes as well.

If you come down to DFW for disc golf, this should be on the list to play. And you locals, it is totally worth the drive.

Very nice breath of fresh air for TX Disc Golf because this course gives a round of 51 a 1000 rated round yet most of the holes are well within range and probably 10 are under 300ft.

Multiple pins that change the scoring range of specific holes nicely and make for fun tournaments with different setups.

If you get hot on this course you can shoot great but if you are not shooting well your score will show it.

Quite a few lefty/sidearm skips that aren't too kind to those with even solid anhyzers as you need the disc to skip 60ft or so from a bend.

Rocky terrain on some holes can also chew discs up.

Like I said on the Beaver review, these courses are among the top 10 in TX and a great disc golf destination for anyone visiting the area.

Mostly wooded if you like that, multiple pins on most holes. The tee signs along with showing you where both baskets are also have an arrow pointing you to the next tee, which really helped. Great variety of types of wooded holes, not just tunnels or straight shots. Pretty well kept. I faded, "DONKED!! and THONKED!!) off the fairway more than once and was able to find my disc with little to no trouble. My fav hole was 6. It is about a 250 ft. throw across a mini gully with the basket sitting on a hill slightly right of the fairway. More than 1 signature hole in my opinion. Busy so if you're new there you can follow the locals. The elevation was used very effectively, nothing drastic but definitely not flat. Concrete tee pads. A couple of ace runs, even for average at best players(I'm one of them). I almost aced 18, it would have been my first. If you play this course regularly it will make you learn to throw every shot humanly possible. Also some great pin placements. Multiple paths to the basket, so you can try to thread the needle or play it safe and throw the anhyzer or tomahawk. Just a pleasure to play and in my case, to get pimp slapped by a great course.

Poison ivy, which is on almost every heavily wooded course that I have played. Even though the tee signs point you to the next hole it would still be nice to have some arrows on the trees next to the baskets. This course is hard to find compared to the beaver course. A couple of more tables or benches would be nice but not really necessary, just nitpicking. Not really any major cons. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 is no water shots and no major elevation, but it is definitely going on my list of fav courses.

Along with the beaver, this is a 36 hole set up that is worth a road trip. This was my first trip into the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I figured why not start with one of the highest rated ones. I was definitely not disappointed. Follow the grayish tan gravel path and follow to the left, walk past the pond and into a clearing. The tee pad for one is in the left corner. after hole 9 walk at a slightly right angle into a smaller clearing and the tee for 10 also to the left. Just look at the tee sign and try to remember where the arrow is pointing. Enjoy your beat down, unless you are really good.

This course is slightly more technical then it's sister course Beaver. Fairways are tight with trees make you to throw accurately. Good mix of short/long, right/left and open holes that require good skills. Hole six is my favorite short hole, with slight uphill under a canopy of trees. Nice location out in nature away from the city courses and clean.

Not much except for the signs, some of which were missing and seem dated. Teepad were short on some holes.

Really enjoy many aspects of this course. Certainly worth the drive and to spend a day out there throwing. Clean, quiet course, just you and the baskets!

Both of these courses are GREAT! They test all aspects of your game and your fitness. Brig your game or stay home. You need all shots and must have accuracy as well. You can be rewarded for good shots just as quickly as punishment for bad ones. And sometimes that follows on the next hole. Elevation is used well here and often. Baskets are good. Well manicured and the fairways are very defined. Not alot of places to lose plastic which is always good. Play consistant and yuo will be rewarded, dont and the coyote will get you! Cant really say much that others havent except....GO PLAY!!

Long walk and poison ivy. Can get hot, brings lots of coldies. Some tees are short but that just being picky. Long drive but thats not rally a con because its worth every minute.

Having 2 courses of this level next to each other is great and its well worth the drive! Can get busy on the weekends.

For the first time playing at this course my impressions are the following. Very narrow and difficult fairways on most holes. Requires accurate throws. You do not need a lot of power to par. Was able to birdie 2. Great atmosphere, secluded and quite.

Lost my AceRace disc in the tree above the #4 basket about 30' up Walk from parking lot to #1 is quite a distance. No walk past parking lot again to get more refreshments.

Reminds me of Circle C/Slaughter Creek in Austin. This course is worth the drive from anywhere in the DFW area. Looking forward to playing the Beaver course here on another weekend. Great times!

This course is insane!@
There are alley shots that can not be any wider than 5 feet!
This course will refine your short and approach shots... or make you pay dearly.
I love the walk through the woods.
Heavily wooded with some open shots in the patures.

The course is difficult to walk.
Bring hiking boats or shoes with good support. There is a lot of hikes up hill and loose gravel. Not recommended for strollers or tag-a-long walkers.

This park is awesome! Two fabulous courses in one location with beatiful scenery and a clean safe environment.
Worth the drive.
