Sorry John, You Missed Your Target Audience! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 29, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Creek @ Inwood Hollow is a short but all so tight 9 hole course designed by Mr. John Houck, himself. The course features the great, green Houck signs with all the needed information on them including the arrow showing the next tee. If you can remember to glance at these, navigation is a cinch here. The baskets are Discatchers with the wide yellow bands. The tee pads are one of the course's weaker links.
The course is mostly short (only # 1 at 330' tops 300'). The overall technical nature more than make up for it's lack of length. Even the three sub 200 footers all are technical enough not to be considered easy birdies.
There are lots of low branches present forcing players to keep shots lower than they might normally like. And the rough is thick in places and seemed to be prickly most everywhere.
The whole course is played in the shade which would be most welcome on many days around these parts.

Cons:

The Hollow at Inwood is a gated community. I don't think it's a major problem following someone through the gate.
You won't need your driver here.
Accuracy off the tee is a must.
The tee pads are natural and marked by red painted rocks. They aren't the best and # 8's rock's are AWOL.

Other Thoughts:

So if you design and build a disc golf course for the residents of the Hollow at Inwood only and you live in a gated community, then wouldn't your intended target audience be those members of this community. I doubt very seriously whether more than one guy who lives here is a serious disc golfer. Although mostly short, this course is tighter than hooker's skirt in places and the rough is mostly prickly.
When I think of a HOA course, I imagine groups of young teenagers learning to play or maybe entire families. This is definitely NOT the course to learn to play on. Send those folks over to Helotes Family DGC. Now that's what a HOA course should look like!
