Pros:
After reading the previous two reviews I was expecting a mediocre little beginners course, and was pleasantly surprised by what I found to be a perfectly fine 18 holer.
Good variety of hole lengths, ranging from 198' to 465' from the short tees. Each hole offers a long tee, with some changing the distance and line only slightly, but others really stretching things out. For instance Hole 5 jumps from 226' to 673', and Hole 10 varies from 329' to 626'. All told, the long tees add nearly 800' to a 5344' course, so not too shabby.
Great concrete tee pads. Long, flat and with good texture. Nice descriptive tee signs as well. The teepad for hole 14 used all of the old "tombstone" type tee signs for form a retaining wall supporting the pad. Great way to keep those old signs on the course.
Baskets are a mix of a couple of different types, but all catch well.
Holes 1 - 3 start out fairly open, then Holes 4 - 7 start tucking baskets back into a thick treeline. Remaining holes vary between more open holes, often with out-of-bounds near the basket to some interesting holes back in the woods. Hole 18 is a nice finishing hole driving down a hill to the basket with out-of-bounds in close behind the basket.
There is modest elevation on the course which was utilized well to create quite a few modest uphill and downhill holes. Hole 9 is over flat ground but throws to a basket placed up on a large artificial pyramid structure. It gave an interesting twist to an otherwise plain hole.
There is a huge parking lot for the DG courses, and a large overall map showing the layout of all three courses.
Cons:
Compared to the other two courses this one is more open and offers less elevation. I don't see this as a serious con, but I suppose it depends on what you are looking for.
When I played several areas were wet and boggy, so the course was a little sloppy. But this is East Texas so I was expecting some moisture.
Some of the holes play right along the main park access road, so watching for incoming traffic is necessary before throwing.
Other Thoughts:
Lindsey Park offers three 18-hole courses and was a great destination for me. I enjoyed playing the Red Course before moving on to the more challenging Blue and Gold.
