Pros:
21 hole layout with more elevation change than any other course in Houston. Pro level course with several 500+ foot holes. Well maintained park mowed every 2 weeks. Many old oak trees and scenic shots off the tee. Recently dug alt pins for more variety. Hole 17 alt plays ~380 downhill to an island green accessible by bridge.
Cons:
There is a Goodyear plant nearby that emits pollution which can be smelled when the wind comes from the SE. The bayou deposits trash along the bank which nobody cleans up.
Other Thoughts:
Those have given this course low ratings need to understand that this course has been entirely designed, built and constructed by a few dedicated golfers, who have donated all the basket money and time to put this together, as manpower and help have been limited the course is a work in progress and does not represent a finished product. It is much easier to log on your computer and write a negative review than it is to come out w some trash bags and help clean up apparently. As someone who has golfed every course in the Houston area I can say that if this is not the best course in the city now it will be soon.
*Update*
Many of the early issues people had with the course have been taken care of. Discers removed upward of 50 bags of trash, still, more floats in from highway litter, bring a bag!
All holes have tee markers; holes 4,13,15,17 (island green!) now have alt pin positions installed. Course map will be installed when all future alt pin/teepad positions are in place. We have a weekly mini on Sunday's at 9:30 am $15 buy in included $10 to payout, $3 to concrete fund (over $1300 raised) $2 ace pot.
When the funds are raised this course will have oversize concrete pads, benches and complete signage.
