OOOOF

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 30, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

It has a hole 1, yay!

Cons:

Couldn't find hole 2. Saw a few baskets in a field, looked like long holes but finding the actual tee pads is a scavenger hunt where you will need a bloodhound and a compass. Soccer looks like it has replaced the disc golf fairways. Lots of water in the open grass kills any desire to play any of the crappy holes here.

Other Thoughts:

It's been extinct on Udisc but there are still a few baskets here so it's still technically playable. I reviewed it so you don't have to play here. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID at all costs. There are several courses in the area, no need to come here.

Springfield Park

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 15, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Decent baskets (at least six of them). They are a mix of manufacturers, and they are older and somewhat rusted, but they still seem to catch fine (with one notable exception; see cons).
-- A couple of decent holes. Two is 274 feet with a dogleg right around trees to a basket in the open but close enough to the trees to make getting 2 a challenge. No. 7 is 341 feet through a gap in the trees to a basket about 40 feet past the trees. Unfortunately, the area just short of the trees and in the trees was under water, so it took a very long walk around that mess to get to the No. 7 basket.
-- The park is beautiful, with a restroom and lake.

Cons:

-- At least two (and likely three) baskets are missing: 5, 6, 8. No. 3 is leaning so badly that you aren't sure the basket will catch any putt.
-- Mostly long, open, boring holes.
-- Tee signs are really faded. Most you can read the hole number but nothing else.
-- Ground is a mess. Grass is long, and you've got standing water on large parts of the course.

Other Thoughts:

-- Disc golf is at most an afterthought in this nice park. Having baskets from different manufacturers makes me believe that at one point someone cared enough to replace damaged of missing baskets, but that times appears to be long gone.

Really bad

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are baskets? The actual park is nice with a restroom and beautiful lake. There are 9 signs

Cons:

Baskets are mismatched and in bad repair. 3 baskets appear to be missing. No tee pads. Course not mowed. Parts of course underwater

Other Thoughts:

It appears this is a forgotten one. Nice park and great potential for DG but not worth a trip as is. Hole numbers 1 & 2 are actually not bad holes but it's downhill from there. The actual lake there was not used in the initial design. There are signs but faded and dont have any info. navigation is actually ok but everything is in disarray and some baskets are just not there. Would be a great place for a group to come in and make a course

Would be best if the baskets were just pulled. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 27, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Has some baskets
Set in an open park close to a couple ponds
Park seems very friendly
Has plenty of parking
Has plenty of trash cans
Each hole has a sign for the hole layout, however the signs are very old and in bad condition

Cons:

Where do I start?
This course is a muddy mess
Grass/mud/flooded tee areas
Mix and match of baskets (only 8 baskets at that)
No difficulty at all on any of the holes
Atleast 2-3 holes seem to be always flooded

Other Thoughts:

I think it would be in the best interest of everyone if they pulled these baskets and found a better use for them. If you are going to play this course (to bag only, IMO) then I suggest playing in the summer. It seems to be a flooded mess the rest of the time. Don't get your hopes up for this course.

Worst course I've ever played 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 19, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

There's not a lot of people at this course (with good reason). Beginner friendly. Tough to lose discs. In fact...I have no clue how you could lose a disc here.

Cons:

Everything else. The tees are grass/mud. The signage is bad. It is wide open with no shot selection differential necessary. There are no elevation changes. I always hold 9 hole courses in lower esteem...but this one doesn't even have 9. It has 8!! The ninth basket is gone! There is one strip of trees that are only on two of the holes. A bit tough to find the course.

Other Thoughts:

This course needs to be revamped. Now. I wouldn't even play it if it were right across the street from me. It is definitely the worst course I have ever played, which is sad because it is a nice park otherwise, in a good neighborhood, and with a beautiful pond. This course needs to make use of the pond and woods around it.

Avoid this course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 9, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Signs at each hole
Course flow is generally ok

Cons:

Non-mowed fairway
2-3 ft. tall rough
Very boring holes
Generally not kept up

Other Thoughts:

The holes are all Par 3 and short. With the exception of two holes, they are pretty boring and straight on.
If you get your disc in the 3 ft. rough FULL of bugs, then you can kiss it goodbye!
Don't let the pictures sway you. It is not anywhere kept up like the pictures show.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

holes 1-3 are decent. the rest of the course you are throwing through overgrown fields. easy to find, and the rest of the park is awesome. even a remote control airport on property.

Cons:

waste of 9 baskets. not maintained. no challenge except throwing for distance, and that is not a challenge here.

Other Thoughts:

i wish i found this site prior to playing this course, i would have headed to Autobahn.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

There is a dg course here.

Cons:

You don't want to play this course.

Other Thoughts:

Too open, no trees or elevation changes, not well maintained (high grass), and if it has rained recently it is a swamp. Go to Harry Myers in Rockwall. HM is a top notch course and is only a few minutes away. If you are a beginner just getting started, then go to Porter in Mesquite.

Just skip it... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 11, 2006 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Umm...Hole 1 isn't too bad of a hole...kind of a fun midrange ace-run shot.

A few long/open holes to practice your distance drives on.

Being flat and open, could be good practice for windy days.

Cons:

A few baskets missing, no signs at all.

Most holes are just flat and wide open with no obstables...meaning no fun at all.

The first time I played was in the summer, and the "fairways" were just 10' wide strips mowed throuh 2' tall grass...it was a total pain finding errant discs.

Fun level: 0

Other Thoughts:

Unless you're on a quest to play every course...seriously...just skip this one. About 10 minutes down the road is Harry Myers Park in Rockwall, TX...top notch course designed by John Houck. Go play there and enjoy yourself!

good for people needing to work on flat drives 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 28, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Not many. It's pretty easy. Good for beginners that want to see how their discs will fly

Cons:

#2 basket is still missing, no tees, no signs on most holes, not many trees

Other Thoughts:

Drive the extra 10 miles into Rockwall to Harry Myers Park for 18 holes of greatness.
