Reviewed: Played on:Apr 19, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Tee signs
Cement Tee pads
Patriot Baskets
decent use of the land

Cons:

Tee signs will not last long, while good right now, they will need to be worked on over time.
The course is in a field back behind the church, it is not currently mowed and the stickers are pretty bad.
While each hole is designed pretty good, the layout is a little jammed together in spots. If your the only one on the course, not an issue as this area is not used by anyone but disc golfers.

Other Thoughts:

Normally when I play a church property course I am not expecting much. They all can't be the John Houck designed Austin's Bible Church or Duncanville's Crossroads. This course is not really all that bad, it just could have been better.

You park in the east parking lot on the WalMart side of the church, you will see the basket for hole 9 behind the church and is a good spot to warm up on your putting.

To play the course follow the dirt road over the creek for a very long, and pretty much wide open hole 1. Good thing the tee signs have maps because I would have thought the basket on top of the pond dam was the hole. That is actually hole 3's basket.

Hole 2 is a dogleg left throwing from behind a grove of trees out into the open.

Hole 3 is a decent hole throwing across the dried out pond (I don't know if it ever holds water) with the basket on the ponds dam. At 250ft this is a very good hole with lots of risk reward.

Hole 4's tee pad is right next to #3 basket and had a double mando (for no reason)

Hole 5 throw up hill with the basket back behind some tree's.

Hole 6 is also slightly uphill though a fence line with some unforgiving cedar trees.

Hole 7 is a decent hole with a few large cedar trees to navigate.

Hole 8 throws sort of downhill with the property line on your right. Unfortunatly you have #5's tee box and #4's basket too close to a right handed landing areas. Either the fairway is too small to be reasonable, or these holes are just too close together.

Hole 9 is actually a decent hole. It does have a mando (I don't like mando's) but the hole is a nice dogleg right with the first half being pretty open and then the approach is over the creek (really a wash) and up behind the church in a grove of large tree's.

This is not a beginner course. While there is not a lot to work with and the course does use some of the areas well, There is some potential out there not utilized and it could have been a better course.

Would I play here again? The course does not suck, it has some good holes. It is also the only course for about 30 miles around that is worth playing. So yea, if I was in the area and wanted to play some disc golf and the course is mowed, I would play it again.
