Veterans Memorial 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 14, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Veterans Memorial (according to the city that owns it; not Veteran Memorial) is a solid 20-hole course in a small town that makes good use of trees, some elevation and a small creek.
-- Grass appears to be mowed regularly, and the grounds in general are in good shape.
-- Decent baskets.
-- Does not appear to get a ton of play, so it's unlikely to be crowded.
-- Best holes are 9A, 9B, 11 and 18. 9A is a 225-foot RHBH hyzer around bushes to a basket 15-20 feet from a slope down to the creek. 9B is 325 feet with trees to navigate and some low hanging limbs. No. 11 is 252 feet with a creek bed (dry at that end in March 2022) right and a basket left (through trees) and slightly uphill. No. 18 (334 feet) tees from 30-40 feet above the creek, and the basket is out of sight, left around bushes.

Cons:

-- No map on site. Navigation is an issue. There are some signs to point you in the right direction, but more are needed. From 3 basket, you cross a road and likely come in between two tees, and you have to guess which way to go; 4 is to your left; 8 is to the right. The direct path from 9B basket to 10 tee takes you through the 1 fairway. After 12, you cross the road to get to the 13 tee, hidden from sight by a building. After you putt on 16, you are 20-30 feet away from an unmarked tee. That is 18; 17 is hundreds of feet away, near the main road.
-- Tee pads are rough. Some are pitted, and there is no defined area for a tee box.
-- Holes 4-8 play in a mostly open field (each hole has 1 or 2 trees) and feel like fillers. Four of those five holes play 225-275 feet, which creates a repetitive feeling. No. 5 does have the creek somewhat in play.

Other Thoughts:

-- The No. 1 tee is near the pavilion, across the street from the baseball field.
-- Other amenities in the 200-acre park include a ball golf course, the aforementioned baseball fields, picnic areas, and play structures, and the Bee County Veteran's memorial.
-- The previous review of this course is 9 years old, but not a lot seems to have changed, good or bad.

Decent Park Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 17, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

It is great that the small town of Beeville has an 18 hole course with holes sponsored by local businesses.

This is a typical park type course. Grass is mowed short and the mature trees are trimmed up. No brush or shrubs at all, so the course is fairly open.

There are enough trees to require working your drive or approach around a tree or two on each hole, but no tunnels or tight holes. A creek (dry when I played) running through the course provides some modest elevation changes.

Decent tee signs at most holes. Signs at 2 and 18 are missing. Signs show distances and some of the trees, and also what local business sponsored the holes.

Hole 18 is the most interesting hole on the course. The tee is on the high bank of the creek, and the drive drops about 25-30'. The basket is not visible from the tee, and is left of the obvious line. You are driving over the creek, but it isn't really in play as it directly in front of the tee box.

Cons:

Dirt tee pads are a little rough and have extended out beyond the tee signs quite a long way. Some type of marker to designate the front of the pad would be useful. One hole was intended to have a large overhanging tree branch as an overhead obstacle from the tee, but the pad has migrated far enough forward to take the branch out of play.

Many of the holes become repetitious as they are 250 - 350' holes with a few trees to work around.

There are plenty of grass burs on the course, but no more than I've encountered on many Texas courses. Check the straps/bottom of your bag each time you pick it up to avoid getting poked.

Other Thoughts:

Navigation is a bit tricky in a couple of spots. The tee pad for Hole 13 isn't obvious from Hole 12. That pad is hidden behind the large radio tower and building.

The tee pad for Hole 18 is very near the Hole 16 basket. Since that tee sign is missing it is easy to assume that this is Hole 17. The tee pad for Hole 17 is several hundred feet away, and located near the highway bridge.
