Mary Jo Peckham Park is a large, very green and lovely park which judging by the overflowing parking lot is very, very popular. There seems to be a large amount of activities to choose from. Fishing in the large pond might be first on the list. Originally, I drove in on the parking lot side and couldn't figure out where the disc course was. I finally drove around some more and located the disc golf course at the far back end of the northern side of the park.

This area of the park feels very much like a golf course with a luxerious carpet of thick, lush grass, gently rolling terrain, scattered mature trees and the pretty lake further in.

The only sign I found was one giving the fishing regulations. I couldn't come up with a connection between these fishing regs and disc golf although I have fished many discs out of water before. Maybe, there is a limit to how many discs you can fish out per day.

There is a simple tee sign stating the hole # and distance. The tee pads are natural marked with a front board. The baskets are new Chainstars.

# 1 is 270' to a basket set under some trees. # 2 has you throwing 321' to a basket set on the right side of the fairway. It's easy to mistakenly go for the basket straight ahead. # 3 is interesting in that there are trees directly in front of the pad and you have to throw by them to a basket 382'.

# 4 is 258' throwing off a slightly elevated pad. # 5 is 302' and the walking path looms in your right. You finish your round with a little 237' toss where you have to navigate through a grouping of trees.

Only six holes.

Parking is pretty limited on this side.

Holes are all between 237' and 321'. All have somewhat the same feel.

Natural tee pads.

This seems to be an area where you will encounter other folks. You may have to wait until they clear. Have patience, my son.

I'm not aware of any six hole courses having a lofty rating anywhere close to 3.0 Even if there were nine holes here, I still couldn't justify anything higher than a 2.5. It is very lovely and green but the golf is quite pedestrian like. Each hole is basically a straight ahead shot where you have to navigate through a few trees. There is nothing very exceptional about that.

I'm not putting this course down or anything. I like it and would come back if I lived close. The fun factor is here but not the variety or challenge.

Jim did a good job utilizing the space at the back of the park here. Six holes is the right number for the area without cramming in three more garbage holes to get to the semi-magical number of nine holes. The distances range from ~250-350' which is a good. No chance for a lost disc here. Quality multi-chain baskets. Tee boxes are marked with wooden beams flush in the ground that are not terribly difficult to spot even when the tee signs are missing. A basket on a small hill and another tee box on a small hill add some variety to the course.

Only the first tee sign remains. Luckily the baskets are numbered which will help you with navigation if you're without a map.

It's only six holes and no alt tees. So it's tough to go out of your way to play here for not a lot of golf.

There was no map for this course either at the first tee or here on DGCR so I made a simple map that should help anyone find their way through the course.

Until Willow Fork got installed there weren't a lot of golfing options in this area, so this was a nice addition.

Mary Jo Peckham Park is a huge upgrade for where these six baskets used to be at, Bridgepoint Bible Church.

The park is a beautiful multi-purpose park with a lake in the middle, walking trails and playgrounds throughout the park. The course is nestled away from where the majority of park goers are.

The course utilizes a few hills, something that few Houston courses can say that they have. The distances of the holes are fair, a few longer holes, a few shorter holes with more obstacles in them. The lake never comes into play, which equals no discs being lost.

Navigation is easy. The holes are marked with small tee signs and wooden 2x4 laid sideways in the ground.

The space that the course is on is a little cramped, as all of the holes are inside of the walking trail. Six holes is a perfect number with the land available, but six holes is really not worth a lot of people's time.

With the course being brand new, there are a lot of people that are not aware that the course is there. Be very wary of people walking through your fairways and be careful throwing near the walking trail as unsuspecting walkers walk by blissfully unaware of any discs being thrown.

Like mentioned previously, these baskets got a huge upgrade by being moved here. I hope to see this course being used and teach the families about the game. This course is a little far removed from any other courses, and coming out here just for this course is not worth it depending on if you live more than 10 miles away. The park holds enough land for an expansion, but for now the course will remain at six holes.
