My round at Schreiner College DGC started off a little rockily. I managed to locate the course without any problem. Drove into a parking lot and found the first tee pad (they are useless). It's pointed right a basket just across he ditch about 175' away, a nice little anhyzer! I think to myself, a cool little starting hole. I park my drive and when I walk to the tee box nearby it says # 3. I'm already lost??? I try to play # 3 and realize I'm hopelessly lost and confused? Luckily, therre was one other guy and his girl on the course and they gave me directions....mostly!

The # 1 pad doesn't exactly face the # 1 basket. It really faces the # 2 basket. Actually, # 1 is a sweet hole. It's probably 350' slight anhyzer shot around this big ole tree and then you have to cross the dry creek bed to the basket tucked up amongst some trees.
# 2 is kinda cool too. You're throwing over the dry bed again. A tree protects the basket somewhat. It's easy to hit this tree and get knocked down into the creek bed. Which, by the way, if you would ever play this course with water in this creek, would totally change the challenge and danger of the course!
The holes are long in general. I think they're longer than they need to be for a college course/ This course could be 1/2 as long and college students would enjoy it more. Case in point...The couple who gave me directions,,,the girl threw maybe 100 feet. She doesn't need 725 ft. holes. Who exactly was this course designed for?

The teepads are downright awful. Like a previous reviewer noted, whoever built these pads didn't know what he was doing. They're too small, gravel and built above the ground. You can see that everyone just tees off next to them.
Basket # 1 is an obvious replacement. It's a thinner guage with single chains. So far it has been vandalized but I'm betting it won't hold up. # 2 is also a single chain model.
Navigation is a nightmare. I think I ended up missing # 7.

The course has some fun and interesting holes. # 4 was a fun tee off. # 5 was also an interesting hole. The wind was blowing hard today which made a couple of long holes seem really long.
This is just another course where I think the designer(s might have missed their target audience. I think college students learningto play the game want to have success not be frustrated with 725 ft. holes.

The nine-hole course is built in an essentially unused area of the Schreiner University campus. It is long for a campus course, averaging 411' per hole from the blue tees with a couple over 500'. The white tees knock the distance back to a 271' average length.

Nice variety of vegetation and terrain. About half of the holes require working around or through a small number of trees, with the other half being quite open. As a result there is not much shot shaping required.

Holes 1, 4, 5 and 7 all throw across the creek, from higher ground. The creek is often dry, but creates some interesting elevation differences. When holding water it can become a serious hazard on a couple of the holes.

New Innova DisCatchers with yellow flags are a welcome update to the course, as are the rubber mat tee pads. Seven of the holes feature alternate "white" tees which are far more suitable for new or recreational players than the long tees.

The new rubber teepads are a huge improvement over the former dreadful pea gravel pads, but some are uneven and all are potentially slippery in wet conditions.

No tee signs at the holes themselves, so take a picture of the course map near the parking area.

Course flow is improved by the next tee signs but still iffy for new players. A couple were obscured by vegetation when I was there, and others only get you pointed in a general direction. Again, the course map is your friend.

The course crosses the creek several times, and it is tricky to figure out how/where to cross. When the creek has water it becomes a significant factor.

This course had been steadily deteriorating over the past ten years, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that it has been updated recently, perhaps as part of an extension to the Kerrville River Trail, and also as an Boy Scout Eagle Project.

There is now a nice restroom at the parking lot, a new course sign with a map, and an adjacent Beer Garden, open W-F 3-10, and Saturday noon till 11.

The course has a good mix of easy holes and average holes. Good for beginners but not so easy that an experienced player wouldnt have a good time. Its the only course in Kerrville so it can be labeled as the best one in town

Tee boxes suck and are made of gravel. Much easier to just throw from the side of the boxes. The course is pretty difficult to figure out if you go play it for the first time without someone who knows it already. Also, there are no maps or signs that show what the hole looks like. The tee boxes are numbered but not all the baskets are. A few of the baskets are kinda hidden so LOOK LOOK LOOK!

Don't go out and expect to just start from the 1st hole. Walk the course and figure it out. Im thinking about bringing a sharpie and just drawing the numbers on the baskets.
