Pros.... well they're trying. A little bit. And the guy who ran the pro shop was very aware that this course is not going to attract any players more than once. So yay for self-awareness!

It has been a long time since Qikly's review. The grass is no longer manicured, and if you can believe it, there are worse problems.

There were only seven baskets when I played today, and only three or four tee "signs" (which are pvc poles with a number on them). There were some trees around but they only come into play when you choose to make them.

Timberlane Country Club knows exactly what kind of course this is, and that they don't get many visitors. Because they don't get many visitors, they don't want to invest in the course. And players won't come play because it's not a good course. And there won't be a good course unless people come play. Are you seeing a pattern here?

There is so much potential for a great golf course/disc course relationship here. The golf course is on a beautiful property with a couple ponds and small tree clusters. If Timberlane decides to invest, the disc golf business could pull in more than the golf business (which they revealed is also not doing great). Spring Valley in the Woodlands (north of Houston) is a great example of disc golf and ball golf co-existing in the same space. Timberlane could be the New Orleans version of that, but with more of an Evergreen Flyways (in Baytown, east of Houston) type of course. There's room for some dg merchandise in their already established pro shop; that and greens fees alone could play for the course in the first year if all they do is install baskets and tees on the better, more scenic part of their property. Foot golf already shares the space with the golf course, and disc golf would make a great addition.

Until they get a couple more baskets, or really build a good course (even 9 hole), it's not worth a visit.
