Small Park 9 hole course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well maintained
Drains well
Concrete pads
Short par 3 course
Good for beginners
Can play with small bag or even one putter

Cons:

No long shots
Not many imaginative basket locations
Can get backed up on weekends
No secondary tee pads to provide 18 different holes

Other Thoughts:

A nice enough 9 hole course that is good for beginners. There aren't many courses in the immediate area so this can get crowded, especially with having just 9 holes. This isn't a course I will visit often as I can play four or five better courses with the same amount of travel time from my house.

Fun, basic, short course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 14, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well kept park and mowed grass, other amenities available.
Some good tree obstacles, and even a little elevation change (for Houston).
Little to no risk of lost discs.
Doesn't seem to particularly favor RHBH.

Cons:

A little bit of park traffic to worry about in a few spots.
I think only one hole (#3) that feels like there's not really a good, non-luck line.
No long holes, no "hard" turns.

Other Thoughts:

I think this is the best beginner course in the area. Simple and easy to see all the baskets. Probably requires a pointer to hole #1 the first time, and a peek or two at an online map, but then it's easy to follow visually after that.

Also several holes require being able to throw low, which adds a bit of interest.

Goodest among good 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 31, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Once an 18 holer, this 9 hole design runs through half of a neighborhood park, typical of the Clear Lake area. The park is very lightly wooded with some older trees scattered around, and a strip or two of thick woods. The course makes great use of the field with trees, and the woods together. None of the hole designs are too outrageous or demanding, and the baskets did the job.

Speaking of hole design baskets, I don't remember what the baskets were or what they were like. Whatever this course page says they are, plus enough age to not seem new, but not old enough to be decrepit. Does that help?

And speaking of age, the grass never got to grow very long, and is all mowed. Seemed like it is usually maintained pretty well.

Cons:

And speaking of grass, the tee pads were... rough. Pretty much worn strips of dirt, sometimes worn into little valleys. Very narrow, no clear front, so the hole length could be off if they were measured from the tee sign (for the holes there is a sign).

And speaking of tee signs, they were very minimal. I would not have known that these white poles were tee makers if I had not asked some locals.

And speaking of locals, I would not have been able to find my way around without them. The flow doesn't seem very intuitive at some places, and clusters of holes could easily mean you end up skipping or misplaying the course without realizing (the uninformative or missing tee markers wouldn't help either). Navigation is definitely a con if you're playing for the first time, without help. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

Other Thoughts:

And speaking of navigation, if you chart a course to this coastal area of Texas, there are three pretty fun 9 holers clustered together. This is probably the best of the three, but the NASA course could overtake it if "they" ever install marked tees. But you definitely won't waste your time going here. With clear tee signs, and good pads, this course would be an easy 3.
