Friendly slice of West Texas 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 19, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

There is a good mix of distances on the holes and a good mix of open throws and tight fairways, a few out of bounds to keep you honest. Though some of the fairways are tight there are good lines to throw. The shots are there and thought and placement will result in a good score. Many holes are well shaded to get a reprieve from that Texas sun. Though the tee area is dirt or carpet or grass, the footing is great at least in dry weather. The baskets are all fairly new and high quality. Scorecards are available, as well as rest rooms at the covered open sided area near hole 1. Plenty of parking available at the church grounds, but maybe not during church services, however the course designer told me the course is open even during church services.

Cons:

I had no real complaints, although concrete pads are usually a plus. Some of the holes are a little tough to find for a 1st timer without a map, but after the round I found out maps are available.

Other Thoughts:

Larry Martin the course designer has a real passion for the game and had a real passion for putting the course on the churches backwoods lands. He has succeeded in clearing fairways and is thinking of ways to improve the course. His passion there has brought enjoyment to many. Please be respectful on the church grounds cause we all hate it when we lose courses because of people littering and misbehaving. Larry is a gracious host and will probably show you around if he is available as he did for me. Look for the big yellow banner near the street stating the disc golf course. Also mere mortals will not shoot a 3 on hole 6. It is way to far to get to the opening and even if you could it is not a big opening. Unless you are a top pro, feel very good about a 4 on that hole.

Nice Course Church 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 2, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

The "Nazz" is an 18 hole course that plays around a church property and in the woods that the church owns. The course has nice brand new DisCatcher baskets plus tee posts and navigation signs scattered throughout the course. The course covers a lot of ground, there is a lot of walking in between holes at times, but the navigation is never an issue here.

I like this course for its good mixture of holes. It starts by throwing near the church in a lightly wooded area, with artificial OB like gravel roads in play. It then moves to a more secluded area that has tight fairways with well defined lines on most holes. The holes are on the shorter side, but the fun factor is still there on most.

The Nazz can be played fairly quickly and it is very easy to find off of I-10. It is less than half a mile north of 10. Easy on and easy off.

Cons:

I felt that some of the lines off the tee, although they were well defined, were impossible golf shots. Hole 6 is a good example of that as well as hole 11. Hole 11 was short enough to get there in one shot, but the line is just not a golf line, making a two virtually impossible.

The holes that play near the church play a little bit too close to the parking lot, church building and the holes get close to one another. This would be a tough course to play if church was happening.

Other Thoughts:

I felt that the Nazz is a good course, but did not really have a signature draw to it, but there were no bad things that took significantly away from the course.

You will not be blown away by anything or a play a hole type that you can't find anywhere else, but there are solid holes, and this is a solid play.

It is a good addition to the Golden Triangle. I would rank this course over Klein but below Lumberton. I would definitely come back and play this again. I would recommend this course to any player regardless of skill level, because anyone can get enjoyment out of a course like this.
