Alright 9 hole course; needs some work. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a small 9 hole course with some fun, short holes. Good for beginners, but also fun for Intermediate players as well.
Some interesting lines and window shots right off of tees #2, 5, and 8. Great course to practice your approaches and short game on, with one 400ft uphill hole (#4) that can be a bit dicey when the wind picks up.

-Fun mid-range and putter course.

-Nice course map at hole 1.

-Good signage for each hole

Cons:

As mentioned in previous reviews, this course was built in a drainage area for a housing development, so the fairway for 3, basket for 6 and teepad for 7 stay pretty soggy. Watch your step!

-chains are completely rusted out, some of them are busted and hanging down. Need to be replaced.

-some of the baskets are starting to lean due to poor installation/ground sinkage. Course is managed by the city of Georgetown, which also manages San Gabriel and Rivery Park disc golf courses, which are in great condition. Seems like they just forgot about this one.

-Teepads are crushed stone with railroad ties on the front and sides. They've started to sink down, which can make your run-up a little tricky. If there's been any recent rain, the teepads are probably going to be really muddy.

Other Thoughts:

This is a nice 9 hole course to have in your rotation, just to keep things fresh if you live in the Georgetown area. If I lived in this housing development, I'd probably be out there every day, just to work on my short game and putting.

But if you're just passing through, give it a miss. There are far better courses to play in the Georgetown/Round Rock area if you're on limited time.

Not A Fan! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 28, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Pinnacle Peak Park is one of these new development parks. Do you ever notice had these new development parks are never busy and old time city parks are constantly filled with people. Part of the problem probably comes from the fact that they've developed a park like this in an area with two water retention ponds. I think they will always be wet and soggy.

The new park does have a wonderful looking swimming pool, a nice kiddie play area and BB courts.

The course has these nice colored tee signs. The tee pads are bordered on three sides with railroad ties. I think grass and weeds are starting to take over from the gravel fill. The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow band but many of them having rusty chains which makes them look old and ugly. Question? When you order baskets, do you pay for different quality of chains? Why have these rusted so early on?

# 1 requires a very low drive or possibly a tomahawk over the top. It's 170'.

# 2 is 260' but a neighbor's fence is close. If anyone ever plays here, this yard would be an absolute disc magnet. With enough play, they could open a used disc business.

# 3 plays 223' across the first drainage basin. Throw short and your shoes will get soaked. Throw long and you might cross a barbed wire fence and end up in the soup.

4 is 383' uphill but not to the basket straight away, that's # 5. The # 4 basket is more left.

# 5 is a little 177' Ace Run.

# 6 is a slight open, downhill throw iof 245'.

Throwing out of he wet basin area is # 7. It's a 259' throw up the basin hillside.

# 8 is a 119' Ace Run with just one small tree to get around.

And finally, # 9 is a 168' throw through some trees and bushes.

Cons:

Signs missing on 2 & 7.

Rusty chains look crummy.

The problem on hole 2 with the neighbor's fence would be a huge problem if this course ever received much play.

I don't much like the tee pads. They're kind of an eyesore.

This course will always be wet and boggy.

No wow factor here.

Other Thoughts:

Some design issues should have been recognized early before the baskets were put in be ground. The # 2 basket could have been placed farther away from the fence. The # 3 basket doesn't have to be that close to the barbed wire fence. Although this seems like a fine area to put a course, I think with the drainage issues, this isn't such an ideal location after all.

decent neighborhood course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 23, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-a few fun holes and potential ace runs
-map of the course at hole 1
-discatchers in good condition
-elevation in play on a few holes
-some trees to avoid but way fewer now than the pictures show

Cons:

-neighbors back yards in play on hole 2
-fence line with thick rough on the other side on holes 3 & 5
-tee 7 is overgrown
-most of the trees have died on hole 8
-lots of low-lying areas that surely flood during a rain

Other Thoughts:

This is a small neighborhood park with 9 mostly short holes. The exception is the 400' uphill hole 4. Hole 6 is a short ace run downhill with tall, marshy grass behind and next to the basket and hole 7 goes back up the same hill but the tee has been swallowed by the aforementioned tall, marshy grass. Hole 2 plays next to a marshy area around a culvert and hole 3 plays directly across it with the basket perched on an small ridge.

I would love to have this course in my neighborhood but it's not the kind of course you should go out of your way to play. Also I'm really not a fan of framed natural tees but they're still mostly even since I'm sure this course sees fairly little traffic. It can't be worth playing here after a rain.

If you're looking for a quick round in Georgetown then San Gabriel Park is a better option, otherwise just head over to Rivery Park which is a fun 18 holes with a lot of cool land features.

Pros:

Great map and signs. Easy to ace holes if you're desperate or if you're a beginner looking for an easy course. Enjoyable if its dry and you have had a really bad day of playing. This will lift your spirits.
Course design isn't awful. Just really easy.

Cons:

Can't play 6 or 7 if it has rained. 3 is difficult after rain. Too easy. Some signs have been vandalized or are missing. Hole 4 is the longest and its also kind of hard to pick out. Not meant for seasoned players.

Other Thoughts:

Leisurely disc golf. That is for sure. Fun for beginners or people begging for an ace.
