Great, wide open course. Some long straight holes as well as challenging shorter ones but always a good place to get a good game in.

Long and short par 3's, wish they offered some par 2's and par 4's. Sometimes the tee boxes get a little nasty and it would help if the markers for each hole/tee box were updated...or even there.

Overall great course!

When compared to the other two courses in the area this course is definitely in the best shape. The grass seems like it is cut frequently and the area just has a clean feeling.
The obstacles of the course are huge pecan trees thrown throughout the course. The trees dictate what kind of shot the thrower will have to take since there are multiple per hole. No hole is a straight shot.
This course has a few unique holes like #14 that plays almost like an island over a creek. Water comes into play on the course but it is not bad enough to lose a disc; you will just lose a stroke.
This could be a pro or a con, I think of it more as a pro, but Pecan Acres is the easiest of the three parks in the area. It is also the most centrally located which makes for an easy trip and an easy time playing.

The theme for the cons of Nacogdoches courses are present at Pecan as well.
The tee pads are red dirt and gravel. They are not great and could be improved easily.
There is also a lack of tee signs on some holes or directions to the next hole. Here at Pecan this may not be a huge problem as navigation is not a big problem but it can still be annoying.
With the few unique holes come a lot of repetitive shots throughout the pecan trees. When it come to holes that stick out in my memory 10,11,14,15 all come to mind but the others are blurred together because they felt so similar.

Like mentioned previously, this is a course for the beginners of the area. It is by no means a typical "pitch and putt" course. It is still a 6000~ foot course that demands distance off the tee.
When coming in from out of town this course was almost an after thought but I was pleasantly surprised by what this course had to offer.

1) Pecan Park offers a beautiful setting for someone wanting to enjoy a fun round of disc golf! The course is easy enough to attract new players but still offers enough challenge for Adv and Pro players.

2) The course was updated in 2012 with new Discatcher Pro baskets which were a noticable step up from the previous single-chained baskets.

3) The course has a good mix of distances with plenty of holes under 300ft but some newly lengthened pins moving the number of 400ft+ holes to 5.

4) Pecan Trees! This course has a unique ambiance with plenty of shot options available through the well defined lanes in the old pecan orchard.. The tree trunks are very large but you will rarely find a low hanging limb on these mature trees to impede your shot.

According to past PDGA events a 1000 rated round at Pecan is right at -7 (in a tournament). Plenty of opportunities to birdie but also a few areas to find water (7,8,14,16)

The dirt teeboxes are not in the best condition and can get fairly slick.

There are very few holes that require a right handed player to throw an anhyzer shot. Basically the course can be shredded with a bunch of hyzers.

Along those lines if a player is putting well they can easily shoot a hot score even if they are throwing poor drives. This stems from the fact that it is easy to get an open putt on pretty much every hole without a "great shot".

The course layout can be hard to follow for many players if they have not played the course before.

If you are looking to play a beautiful park that won't be too punishing to your game Pecan park is a perfect place to play and in the "Oldest Town in Texas"

The course receives a lot of use from joggers/bikers along with young children on the playground so just be aware of your surroundings when throwing!

Lots of opportunities for great shots. This park has at least one or two holes for everyone. A couple of long bombers, places for you to work shots around trees, water hazards on a few holes to test your skill and shorter holes to tempt you to try for an ace. Good basket placement among the trees in the middle of park. A mostly flat, easy to play, extremely fun course.

If you're a local, learning the course is easy, but signage would be extremely helpful for out-of-towners and first-timers, especially since a few of the holes were changed before the last Pecan Park Open.
If your disc goes into the water on holes 14 or 16, you'll more than likely be able to find it, but the "cleanliness" of that water is questionable at best on some days.
During little league seasons, some parents have claimed the park as their practice field, making holes 1, 3 and 5 unplayable in the late afternoon on practice days. There's also a group of college students who've taken to playing soccer in the middle of the fairway on 18.
Lastly, the people who live behind the number 12 teebox could stand to clean their kennel a bit more regularly.

Regardless of anyone's list of 'Cons' (including mine), you'll have a great time at this course. Even if you're having a rough day, there's always at least one hole where you'll make a great shot that will make up for it.
Pecan Park fits well in Nacogdoches' trio of courses. Newer players will find it an enjoyable place to begin playing, and larger-sized players will find the terrain easier to navigate than the up/down hiking treks of the Lake and the front 9 at Pioneer.
Keep a Whippet, a Predator or something similar in stability in your bag for your drive on hole 10. A good spike hyzer from the teebox can shave off a stoke on that one.
Pecan is also the best spot in town for a round of night golf.

This is a fun course set in a beautiful old Pecan Orchard. Very busy area with the college being right across the street.

Some of the holes need new signage, from what some locals told me the disc club is doing some renovations and changing up some of the holes.

Course has some difficult holes but also has some ace runs, which I always enjoy, seeing as how I am still searching for that elusive first Ace!!!

Some sweet SFA eye candy running around the park!!!!!!

Very busy, you have to watch out for Peds and you will definitley have to deal with some ignorant people that try to set up a picnic right in front of a basket.

Single chain baskets.... Not my favorite but not a round killer.

Some holes have been changed, so updated signage should be coming soon.

5.0 Alert!!!! Tons of police and school police roaming the area. Not really any secluded areas to kick back and "relax".

I would definitley play this course again, fun and quick round. My home courses are Lindsey park in Tyler, but a 1 hour drive to Nac is worth it for this course and a challenging round over at the Lake!!!

Nice course. Wide range of shots from longer drives to shorter technical shots. Players were extremely friendly and willing to help direct us to the correct tee.

Originally, there had been some holes w/o proper signage on the tees, but that has since been cleaned up. Last time, the only one I noticed is that the tee for 17 still showed a 9. Otherwise, the all had been updated. There is still some construction equipment on one of the holes, but we were still able to play it.

Good course once you figure out where to go. Has lots of open space around tee #2 to practice driving, especially if you're someone who can throw those longer drives (which I am not). Was dry on the above date, but I can see how a couple of holes would be difficult to play for a few days after a decent rain. I'll definitely become a regular at this course.

There are a lot of technical shots that really test your short-game/mid-range. There are a few holes that have decent drives that really test your range. There is a good mix of par 3 and 4. The scenery is great. There is hardly anywhere in the park you could loose a disc.

There is some construction going on that hinders a few of the fairways. A few of the baskets are located in overgrown areas and if you don't know what you are looking for it could be confusing. A few of the baskets are too close together, and could make for a confusing drive.

You pretty much get a feel for the course on the first drive, it is a monster drive- par 4. i can always tell how my day is going to go from that first hole.

I love both this and its crosstown brother because together they bring together just about anything that you would want. This course is set in an old pecan orchard and plays through it which makes the scenery excellent. There is a good mix of shots ranging from open shots to some technical shots although not to technical. You also have the chance to throw just about any other type of shot that you might have in your bag and many times you will see different lines being used by others on your card. This course can be enjoyed by both the rec/int players along with the adv/pro. The baskets are in pretty good shape even though they are older and still catch very well. The little elevation that is here is used well and there isnt too many places to lose plastic.

The teepads could be upkept a little better but thats what you get with natural teepads and the amount of use that they get. This course can get very busy but never too bad. There are some soggy spots that find this course after a rain but not horrible.

This course has a high fun factor for all these reasons and should be visited any chance that you get. I havent played thier tourney in 2 years but the past years I did it was great times and I look forward to getting back real soon.

Lots of nice open shots, good use of trees in the tee placement, I ended up putting from behind a few of them. Looks like new tee signs. Played again recently, on hole 5 there is a downed tree right by the basket, it makes a good challenge. Good for open shots, long arms.

Couldn't find a map, a couple times we weren't sure were to go. Around hole 15 or 16 we got lost the second time I played. Totally skipped a hole and never knew it. Lots of people walking around picking up pecans, they get in the way, and are always looking down so they don't see you. Doesn't drain well after a rain, so lots of large puddles.

From number 8, turn around, and head back past tee box 11 and hole 10, hole nine is back in the corner, to your right if you're standing at hole 8. Lots of squirrels. This course is good, but pioneer is better.

Long, open fairways allow power shots. It is easy to throw pin high on most holes. Since there aren't too many trees it is easy to recover from a bad drive and save par. Most shots are not too technical, so this course is easier than Pioneer, the other course in Nac. The course is easy to follow and you will most likely not get lost.

The signs on the tee boxes are mostly all gone. There is water that comes into play on holes 6,7,14, and 16, and if your disc goes into the deep parts it may not be retrievable unless you go for a swim. One problem I constantly have is children playing in the middle of hole 18, or old folks searching for pecans on random fairways. Be patient and kind when asking them to move!!

Holes 15 and 17 are short, good luck on the ace hunt!!
