- The Big 3: This course features the basic necessities of a good course. Discatchers baskets, metal tee signage, and big tapered concrete pads on all 18 holes. The tee pads are the real star here while the baskets and signage are showing some age. Sprucing these up would be a nice touch to the course. The signage receives kudos for displaying next tee direction.
- Amenities: Spring Lake does a great job in this department. I'm not sure that I've ever seen trash cans at all 18 tee boxes of a disc golf course. That's exceptional. I counted at least 7 benches on the central 18 course with even more on the other loops. Signage poles include bag hooks which is another great feature.
- Staging Area: This course has a large parking lot, picnic table, bench, practice basket, trash can, and large kiosk with the three course maps.
- Options: This is a really interesting setup of the "three" courses. In my opinion, it seems like this course would be better off being split into two 18 hole courses for the sake of player flow, shot diversity, and navigation. It seems there are a total of 33 baskets overall in the park and 36 tee pads (three holes share a basket on the east loop). However, at the end of the day, the more holes the better. You can always go out there and play your favorite 18 holes if you are adamant on only throwing that many.

- Basic: Multiple flat, wide open holes on this course. This is especially true if you only play the central 18. Forced shot shaping can be very minimal at points due to the openness (16 and 17 are the biggest culprits). I have a hard time rating this course because of the loops it offers. I think there is a great way to break up the monotony of the basic holes by using the loops in this park. However, for the central course, this is the biggest con.
- Pedestrian Hazard: The course weaves through a walking path in the park and crosses it often. I counted a total of 9 out of 18 holes in which this could become an issue on the central course. The park seems consistently busy so be prepared for this to have an impact on your flow. For reference, this con seems to be a non-issue on the "loops".
- Flow/Navigation: This is where the central, east, west course setup goes from a blessing to a curse. 36 tee pads, 33 baskets, three 18 hole courses. You get the idea. However, major kudos to the signage in various locations on the course of trying to navigate you in the right direction of which course you are playing. It just seems like things would be simplified with an east and west course that are totally separate.

Not pros or cons:
- Single Tee Pads/Pin Placements: While these are always a great addition to any course, I can't list them as cons. This is mainly due to the fact that there are so many baskets and tee pads total in this park. However, the addition of extra tee pads could help to diversify the total number of players that have a great time on this course. Multiple pin placements would help to keep things interesting for locals. This only really applies to the central course since the "loops" are more technical and often have defined fairways.

Wide variety of holes. Some nice tee boxes. The park is very well maintained.

Lots of trees that will rob you of some great shots. This is pretty challenging for a new player. Some missing signs.

This is my home course and is where I am learning the game. It might be tough for someone who doesn't know the course very well but I enjoy playing here.

A nice little park. Good distances. Good routes. Decent tee pads. A very pretty location.

A bit crowded. I would like to have seen a better variety of lengths and pars. I like to see a hole or two I can go for, and 500 feet probably has no business as a par 3. Poor signage makes it hard to navigate at times.

Really pretty park. Worth a stop.

-The park is very easy to find and it is easy to find where to park and begin play.

-The course is very scenic. The trees are huge and the park itself is very well manicured and cared for.

-There were asphalt tee pads which is not as good as concrete tee pads but much better than grass or dirt. The course was very easy to follow on the first 10 holes.

-The course had very good lengths on some of the holes, some holes involve a big bomb others need the player to weave through the big tall trees.

-If the first 10 holes were easy to navigate the back 8 were nearly impossible to navigate. All 8 are missing signs and I completely missed about 5 holes because I simply could not find where to go, I never saw any of the last 5 baskets. I assume either they do not exist or they are in a different part of the park because were I go lost there was, what seemed like, a brand new walking path so those last few holes must have been relocated.

-Walkers are another thing to be cautious of. Some kind of walking path comes in play on a few holes on the front 9 and since the park seems to get a lot of walking traffic there may be small waits waiting for the pedestrians to walk through.

This course is very forgettable. The front 9 are fun but the fact that the back 9 is very hard to navigate makes for not so fun disc golf.

This seems to be the only course in the area that is worth playing but definitely needs a bit of work to get the rating up.

A nice course, there are some large trees on some of the holes that adds some challenge. The course flows well and you can find the next hole pretty easily when there isn't a sign (at least for 1-18).

There really aren't any long holes. About half the signs are missing. There are 4 extra holes in the woods, but there isn't a sign or map directing you to them, so they're hard to find if you don't know where they are.

Since the completion of the walking path, the holes have been moved and placement seems well thought out (given what obstacles they had to work with).

Like others have said: safe, nice, scenic park. I enjoyed my time walking around the course, checking the rest of the park out. Good place to take a family (plenty for spouse, kids to do if they don't play disc golf).

The signs that are up at Tee pads easily move you from one hole to the next.

Since the completion of the walking path and the movement of some holes, signs are missing in places and/or holes have just been renumbered. And, early in the day, I didn't run across any of the local players to show me the way. They were there as I was leaving, though.

Walkers of course have right of way, so you may have to be patient for a minute or two on 2 or 3 holes (the pedestrian path stays out of the way / to the side for the most part).

Not many shady tee pads throughout the course.

Not a good mixing of short / long (if you can call them that; the longest is a little under 500 feet) holes. Most of the shorter holes were around the beginning. Then the longer holes went out into the open fields.

Since they moved the holes around, the course no longer starts in the northeast corner of the park. As you enter and go left, the parking lot is about halfway back on the left side--the old hole one is now around hole 15 or so.

I pass through Texarkana every now and then. I'm sure I'll be playing this one again in the future.
