Wooded fairways are cleared nicely and feature rough that will punish errant throws but not make your legs bleed, a definite plus for such a new course. A few times where I took a bad kick I had to earn my way out but it wasn't unreasonable.

Nine brand-new Mach 3 baskets and two beautiful cement tees per hole, a short and a long, make for what feels like an 18-hole layout. Longs and shorts differ greatly on most of them.

Gaps are an appropriate challenge for what the course is, plus a few of them are a little more challenging from the long tees. Most skill levels will enjoy this course, whether it's a challenging but not too frustrating time for newer players or an enjoyable casual warmup round for those more experienced. I'm a 920-rated Am Masters player in my upper forties with not much distance but good accuracy and a good short game and the difficulty of this course was right up my alley. I shot a 53 playing the shorts + longs 18-hole layout and left 4 strokes or so out there.

Good mix of directions and shapes and distances.

Good variety of basket placements, some near obstacles that punished getting too aggressive and blowing past the pin. One basket is raised on a manmade mound to provide practice in that situation too, and I liked how it was on a hole with a tricky tee-off. I threw a good forehand and it left me with a tester which created a risk-reward scenario at 30 feet. Yep, I airballed that but then had to make another good putt to save par (and I did).

Water doesn't come into play much, which is in line for the purpose of this course, but at the same time there could be added holes for tournaments and whatnot that would be sweet near a ribbon-like creek.


Nice signage, and I see some small cement pads for future benches as well.

While it leans to the wooded side of the continuum, there was enough open space too to not make it feel completely tightly wooded. I felt like it was a nice balance.

Two warmup baskets at the beginning, and they include trees for practicing putts in and around obstacles.

It's a 9-holer, so if you're looking for a destination course this isn't it, more appropriate as a wonderful local choice for those who need a quick round after work. However, with the long and short layout you can play what feels like a whole 18 too.

If you're looking for a more open course to throw big bombs and don't like woods golf at all, you won't enjoy this as much as I did.

It's a Houston-area course so naturally there isn't a great deal of elevation, but there is the raised basket and one really nice green that features a small little dry creek bed where the pin placement was pleasing to the eye up above it and, gasp, even featured a rollaway to my nephew's errant upshot! Probably not something that happens with too much regularity around here unless a basket is perched near one of those manmade ditches you see everywhere.

This course is in terrific shape for how new it is, and a delightful neighborhood 9-holer. I'd be thrilled to live near something like this. I enjoyed my round here, especially since I enjoy playing wooded golf. You'd be hard pressed to find a better 9-holer. Nice equipment and a nice park too. Just lovely.

Watch for snakes. We encountered a baby copperhead. From what I understand this is fairly common around here. I come from Michigan where winter kills things that harm you.
