Fun older course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 15, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Real trees! It makes some of the shorter tees a bit more fun and it gives you a break from the wind.

Public bathrooms are nearby.

The park is pretty much kept trimmed and clean for most of the year.

Cons:

We could use signs for each tee box (this may be in the works?).

Alternate tee pads (this is definitely in the works).

It is in a public park, so you go get the occasional non-player(s) wandering through the fairway.

It needs a few more trashcans. My friends and I usually pick up other people's garbage and dispose of it, while we play our rounds.

Great Golf, Needs Signs 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 2, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good Concrete Tees
Good Baskets
Next Tee arrows on most baskets (some were pointed a little off)
Some Teesigns (distance in yards)
Plenty of Benches/rocks
Plenty of Trashcans
Very Clean and well kept
Plenty of parking
Bathrooms and water fountain
Pavilion and gathering area for Tourneys

Love the layout for the most part
Great Variety
Some short/med/long
Some Right/straight/left
Some Open/technical/tight
Some forced lines/options
Some up(ish)/flat/down(ish)
Makes you throw several different shots
Works your accuracy
Even the "repetetive" holes all had those little differences that matter
Something for everyone
Great for beginners
Int and adv can work on their placement and Midranges
A few places to air it out
Great place to take Family/Noobies to

Playground and picnic area for the family
Walking path or volleyball for the Non-DG'ers


Favorite Hole(s): #3, #18

Cons:

Very Few Tees had anything except hole #
Needs directionals and a map badly
What Teesigns there were had distance in Yards (some were way off)
#2 and #15 had dirt tees with very little marking (2's basket was moved making the existing pad irrelevant)
Several holes (8-10 I think) were kind of repetetive
Walking path could cause safety issues if the place was busy
A few of the baskets need the numbers "refreshed"

Other Thoughts:

Overall this course is a very fun round. Definitely a good stop if you're in the area. If I lived in the area I would be here often. Worth traveling a little way to play. Not a destination course by any stretch.

The play is very good and is worth the hassle of looking for tees (IMO).

I will definitely play here again when I come through. The fun factor on this course overcomes the lack of good signage enough for me to rate it 3.5.

PM me and let me know how I can make my reviews "more helpful."

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 16, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Park has a variety of range shots . Parks hardly ever crowded. Locals are really good at leting you skip ahead. And really clean . You go from throwing a farely long shot , then 2 60-75 yard feet baskets , then 3 long shots , 2 more mid range baskets , long shot , mid range , mammoth distance on 13 . All shots have their obstacle . All in all this a great course

Cons:

Have more elavation change shots and I would be happy .

Other Thoughts:

Big ups to the locals Jesus , John , Brandon , xmen , Tommy , Dennis , Tom , eroc , Robert , Derrick , steve ,random , and any one I forgot..

Lucy Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tee pads
Multiple pin placements
Benches & trash cans
Course doesn't seem to get crowded
There's an arrow on most baskets, pointing to the next tee
Bulletin board at first tee

Cons:

No putting practice basket

A set of posts at the front corner of each tee pad. One identifies the hole number, & one lists yardage. I couldn't help but feel like these posts were in the way, every time I threw from the tee. I could see this actually becoming a safety issue down the road. Better signs would be a nice improvement.

Other Thoughts:

This course is on the East side of a large city park, near the swimming pool. Not a technical course, but there are mature trees to contend with, as well as walking paths which can be considered OB.

Great Park, Could Be Even Better 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 7, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Baskets in great shape, and graffiti free. Good mix of shots, both open and with trees. Beautiful surroundings, very well manicured. Good mix of distances, most holes seemed to be at least 300 ft. Hole 13 if I had to guess would be around 700 ft. Many ace ops, but bad shots are easily punished. Concrete tees. Arrows on baskets pointing to next tee. Awesome waterfall about 1/2 a mile away (Should have made it part of the course ;) ) Plenty of trash cans, and mostly litter free. Hard to loose a disc here.

Cons:

Lack of sinage. There were usually the hole number, and the distance (in yards, which is odd) on posts on the outside of the tee pads. Course is crammed into a wide open park, the land could be used in a much better manor for DG. Although the walks between tees are short, the course has a really odd flow to it. Even though the tees were concrete, they were slippery even though they were dry.

Other Thoughts:

This could easily and inexpensively be made into a 4.5 or 5.0 course with a good redesign, and good signs. If you are in the Wichita Falls area, it is certainly a must play, I will stop again on my way through.
