- good quality Dynamic Discs Veteran baskets (what else!?)
- practice basket (near pavilion, basket by parking lot is 18)
- well mown and maintained
- some good elevation change starting with hole 5
- while a multiuse park, safety hazards are minimal
- great variety of nature and terrain showcasing northern Texas ecology
- some helpful next tee signs
- some steep sections of terrain add interest
- good size concrete tees
- good natural obstacles force a variety of shots
- while some blind shots, losing discs isn't a major problem here due to limited undergrowth

- a little limited on amenities - minimal benches and garbage cans
- multiuse park shares space with playground, pavilion, etc.
- navigation is a bit confusing; consulting Google map is necessary, and more next tee signs would really help
- some graffiti on tee signs
- traversing course could be a bit challenging if you aren't pretty able-bodied
- walk from 1 to 2 is excessively long
- no hole numbers on baskets doesn't help navigation
- only notable safety hazard was throwing near walking path on hole 8

Veteran's Park was my first exposure to Texas disc golf, and it did not disappoint. While I would have liked to see the rocks and rattlesnakes of west Texas, this course was a cool mix of the grass and forests with rockiness and scrub brush that northern Texas has to offer.

This course is fairly challenging and will test your technical game in places. I particularly enjoyed hole 5 which is a cool downhill shot through brush obstacles. There is some risk on the course of losing discs although I found this generally minimal. While navigation could definitely be improved, I managed alright on my own with the Google map. There are some next tee signs but more are really needed, and numbers on the baskets would also help.

The course starts out more technical and opens up a bit near the end. Holes 12-14 didn't seem to add much, being out in an open field for the most part. Otherwise, most of the holes had unique characteristics I really enjoyed.

The tee pads and baskets are in great shape and the course is generally well maintained, although some of the tee signs are showing their wear and/or some graffiti, sadly. While it is a multi-use park, the disc golf area is fairly isolated from other activities. If you're in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, I think this course is worth a stop. It might not be a true destination but it's a fun and challenging round and beats many of the area courses in terms of interesting use of the terrain.

While there are 3 tees here, only the main concrete tees are really clear. The others have no separate tee signs and while the blue log markers are fairly easy to find on most holes, the 3rd tees are not and it could get confusing playing something other than the concrete tees. This, to me, makes the addition of other tees far less valuable.

All in all, this is a really fun course I encourage anyone to check out. It makes really good use of the area's limited elevation change, and will punish you if you don't choose your shot wisely in the same way it will reward solid, consistent play. There are a number of disc golf shops nearby as well.

Great mix of long and short throws, left and right hooks, uphill and down hill.

Many challenging tight throws; make the game fun.

Great changes of scenery and terrain. It's really a beautiful course.

Playing for the first time, it was a little difficult finding some of the next teepads and baskets. Signs from basket to next teepad could be helpful. This was only an issue in the back hill section when you're throwing over brush, cactus, and trees.

This course is in my favorites list. I loved the changes in terrain and scenery. It was very challenging at certain spots, and then opens up for some long throws.

If I'm back in Dallas, I'll definitely play here agian!

Tee pads are more than ample allowing for a proper run up.
Signage is good providing the player with all they need to know.
Has a good deal of elevation in the heart of the front 9. Holes 4-10 have a good mix of up and down action going on.
All shots are accounted for here from left to right dog legs, to open holes, to wooded holes. The lengths vary depending on where the pin is located so there are some a couple of short holes, moderate length holes and a few longer holes too.
Hole 1, 3, and 12 will keep the big guns happy as they are mostly open. 1 and 3's baskets are protect but a majority of the hole is open. There are excellent lines on a lot of holes here and it will make you use your brain to shape shots.
Course is in a beautiful park and there are other amenities here as well.
A couple baskets sit on a hillside so there is the risk of a roll away putt and the added pucker factor adding to the challenge of the hole.

Some of the interior holes on the front 9 might be tough to walk down/up after a good rain. Please be sure of your footing.
A couple of walks in between holes are a bit long. 1's basket to 2's tee and 10's basket to 11's tee come to mind. Not too bad but it slows the flow of the round down a tad.
For those players that like to use a cart some of the holes will be hard to drag/push a cart on. The rocky terrain makes for more work. Its not impossible just need to know what you are up against.

Of course on Veteran's Park they are going to have DD Veteran baskets. They do their job well and look good to boot.
This course has a nice variety of shots. The wooded approaches on holes 1-3, the openness of 1 and 3 fairway, the shorter holes on the back half of the course make for some great golf here.
Its a nice change of pace that you don't see too often in a city park course. I throughly enjoyed my round here and was challenged both physically and mental. I like a course that mixes things up and makes you use a full bag of shots in order to score well.
I will definitely play this course again when I return to the DFW area. I think there is a bit of something here for every player.
Veteran's Park get a lot of play and has a good word of mouth buzzz and after you play it you will know why.

Very well taken care of! Great workout! Concrete Tee Boxes! Lots of elevation changes.

There are a couple of holes where I felt like I was blindly donating a disc!!!!!

This is certainly one of the best courses in DFW!!!

The two halves of the course really have a very different feel. After the initial few holes, it goes into some holes that are very treed up (mostly smaller cedars) with a lot of elevation change. The other holes look largely like holes you typically see at multi-use parks. The park-like holes and more wilderness type holes have very different feels to them, and make for a real variety in the holes. There are some shorter holes, but plenty of longer ones as well. There are multiple pins on all of the holes (3 locations on some of them), and they seem to be moved by the club pretty regularly.

Very difficult to navigate, especially the first half. Even with people who have played it a fair bit (but not regularly since we're an hour out of Arlington) we still go to the wrong spot for the next tee occasionally. This is really the biggest con, you really want to find someone to play this with the first time.
It also gets a bit rough in some places, the first half is very unfriendly if you go off of the fairways. Although any course in Texas will be really hot in the summer, this one is particularly brutal.

-Lots of variability in presentation, orientation, length, elevation.

-Great tee pads.

-Good signage (although enough with the "Melk"ing already)

-They do a great job of moving the baskets here; 5 have been moved in the last month!

-Close to that Quickie Mart that sells tons of discs (be sure to haggle over price because he is ~$4 over on all discs!)

-No water (but you can still lose discs in the dense forests!)

-Get a chance to use those under stable discs I can't use on my home course.

-On a windy day it can be tough.

-Not sure I agree with all Par 3s.

-Some of holes are blind (4, 5, 8, 9)

This place (although a bit isolated from other courses) is worth a shot if you come to DFW to play DG. You will get some exercise because there is more elevation than most DFW courses!

This is my home course so my review may come off as a bit biased.

-Course is very challenging with a wide variety of different shots.
-Maps on each hole are very descriptive showing alternate pins and distances/pars for each location.
-OB, elevation, and trees come in to play on basically every hole with the exception of some field holes on the back 9.
-Convenience stores are located around the course as well as the DFW Disc Golf Center which is just down Arkansas Rd. from the course.
-Locals play here regularly so if you are new and needing help with course navigation you can easily ask many of the other players for help.

I'm sure there's many more Pros to be said, but I'll leave it at that.

-This course gets pretty heavy traffic on nice days from both disc golfers and joggers/walkers. You may find yourself yelling "FOUR" on more than one occasion.
-Along with the heavy traffic comes liter around the park. Unfortunately service workers don't spend as much time on the course as they used to so overflowing of trash cans will occur.
-The red dirt all throughout the area causes extreme heat during the Spring/Summer times. You'll probably want to wear a hat and sunglasses if playing out there during those times.

All around this is definitely one of my top 5 courses in North Texas and I love that I am able to play it so much due to it's location. I do believe that playing this course so much has made me a better player on other courses.

Have fun and go throw some plastic!

This is one challenging and fun course. There is a good mix of long and short holes as well as left and right. There are elevation changes on roughly half of the holes. There are multiple basket locations for each hole which keeps the course fresh. Concrete tee pads throughout course.

The first time playing it we had to search for about an hour when going from Hole 7 to Hole 8.

There is a tournament here on Sundays so I would recommend getting started before 10am.

Great tee pads and signs for each hole showing the layout of the holes. The course has a nice layout and flows really well. The course has a great variety downhill and uphill as well as close(tight) holes and wide open holes.

I was not familiar with course so I spent a lot of time walking the holes just to find the basket to throw at. I like being able to see or at least have an idea where the basket is from the teepad.

All in all a really great course for this area. I live close so that's an added benefit. If your in the area and are looking for a great course this is it!

Well designed great mix of shots. Will take every shot in your bag. Course has considerable elevation changes and a great mix of obstacles.

Parts of the front nine can be difficult to navigate.
REALLY HOT in the summer (as is anywhere in TX) - bring water.

Great course - a must play if you're in the area.

When I moved to Dallas 4 years ago, and started playing local courses, this course became my home course even though it was at least a 45 minute drive. With more than 50 local courses, that says something. Now I live more than an hour and 20 minutes away, and I still drive there every month to host a women's league in conjunction with the local mini.

Baskets are nice. There are three sets of tees. The middle set of tees has nice concrete pads and tee signs. There are at least 2 pin placements on every hole, and 3 on several holes, plus a strong local club to move the baskets regularly and keep the course in good condition. However, hole 9 has been stuck in the left pin position for as long as I can remember. Someone told me they can't get it out of the anchor.

A really good mix of holes. The short tees generally require more technical lines, while the other sets of tees require long bombs and/or overheads. Elevation is pronounced on about half the holes. The three really long, open, and flat holes are arranged at various angles to test or develop wind play skills for when the wind is up.

Probably the best selection brick and mortar disc golf store in the area is one block away. As you leave the park, turn right at the light and and the Quickstop is at the next light in the little strip mall on the right.

After hole 12, you can cross the street and use the restroom at the convenience store. Put a little cash in your pocket for drinks, snacks, etc. Can you say ice cream on a hot day, or a gallon of cold water?

Navigation is tough even on the marked middle set of tees. Forget about about playing the short tees without a guide. They are dirt tees and unmarked. Same for the champ tees, which shouldn't be played without a spotter anyway.

The course is notoriously overhead friendly, and non-overhead punitive. If you have a long arm and a good overhead shot, you can score well here, and you might find the regular tees don't provide the challenge you are looking for in a casual round once you've solved the shot placement puzzle.

The main restrooms are usually locked, and there are no portolets.

Muddy after rain, with enough elevation to make for hazardous footing in muddy conditions.

I know some people who use carts here, but I wouldn't consider many of these holes to be very cart friendly, and too rough and elevated to risk bringing the baby in a stroller.

Popularity of the course makes for long waits, with people cutting in on hole 5 quite frequently. Some pedestrians occasionally get in the way, but it's rare for one to try and pick up your disc and throw it back to you (although I've seen this happen). Hole 1 occasionally attracts a kite or model rocket flying father and child, and I've even seen a coach doing soccer practice there once, but they learn soon enough. So it's not a regular thing.

Vandalism at this course is out of control, with people setting pavilions on fire, stealing baskets, trashing signs, etc.

This course is not one to play for the first time in a tournament. Shot placement is key on many holes, and will require a blind overhead in many cases. In past years, SSA on 18 from the permanent tees s about a 50, so a 50 would be about a 1000 rated round. They've been adding 3 temp holes in recent years at tournaments that are pretty much birdie holes for pros. The course record from the permanent tees is 42, and has stood for over 10 years. It was set by John Maiuro.

I feel neutral on the lack of water. Actually, I hate water, but I know some would consider the lack of water a con, so I didn't include in the pros. Water does come into play on 9 if you get a really unlucky roll, but it doesn't affect the way to play the hole at all. At the A tier and ice bowl tournaments, one of the temp holes is usually over the pond with the fountain.

Honestly, I have a hard time justifying a 4 for this course after playing courses like those at Selah, but any course this popular and addictive is something special.

So many to list, I'll do a Pro/Con list, then explain some of em.
1. Hole 1
2. Variety of Shots is needed
3. Space to really let the drivers fly
4. Tough Shots make for a Fun Day.
5. Park foot traffic is out of the way almost 100% of the time.
6. Scenery changes through the course.
7. No water hazards, but lots of thick trees/brush. So there's still a risk/reward factor.
8. Hiking may be necessary ( love hiking)
9. Between holes 7-8, you can take a picnic break if you are with your family or a big group of friends that gets tired.
10. Most locals are pretty friendly.
11. Local shop sells a giant variety of discs.

Hole one is awesome, you get to open your arm on the first hole with max distance.

Explaining #5, There is a walking path that can possibly be in the way for errant shots, other than that, it's pretty out of the way.

1. Random foot traffic using the fairway of hole 1 for RC Cars.
2. Vandalism(stealing baskets) is annoying when they steal your favorite hole's basket.
3. When it starts getting dark, this course is difficult to finish.
4. A couple blind throws, that could pose an issue for those new to the course.
5. When it's windy, IT'S REALLY WINDY.
6. There is some erosion that could be proven dangerous if you have an errant shot that shoots right on 18.

This is one of my favorite courses in the DFW. It's generally well maintained, it's pretty fluent from hole to hole. It's a great looking park, the neighborhood is decent. I love going here for my saturday rounds because it's only 30minutes from home. I suggest if you visit to make this one of the courses to play.

Challenging
Resting areas every couple of holes with tree shade
Shows off Texas terrain
Nice elevation changes
Concrete tees
Multiple basket locations
Gets a nice amount of tournaments

In the summer it can VERY hard for those not in shape to finish because of the heat and combination of hiking up and down hills.
Can be easy to lose a disc.
Extremely hard to navigate without a map or a local to show you around.
All par 3 when some holes are obviously par 4 and 5's.....even though some would argue this doesn't matter.

Overall this is an amazing course, it will really test your skill not to mention your endurance! You will have a nice combination of wooded holes, big arm holes, and elevation changes. The course could REALLY benefit from some simple signage pointing from hole to hole, even if it would be simple planks of wood with an arrow. While on the course keep your eyes open for local wild life and be careful not to run into any of the cacti. Below I will give a short description of the holes, just give me a little wiggle room I am going off memory.

1. Huge down hill shot into the open with the basket tucked into the tree line at the far bottom right.

2. Very straight forward hole open, go mid range.

3. Throwing all up hill slight anhyzer with basket tucked into the woods at the top left of the field.

4. Very very wooded shot go slight anhyzer over the top with a thumber or tomahawk .

5. This can be a very intimidating hole! You throw down hill over the tree line, just get a nice straight drive and you should be all good.

6. All up hill with basket on a rock bordered plateau

7. Once again up hill.

8. Simple enough hole, basket is ether in the open or tucked around the corner to the left a bit.

9. Throw forward through and opening to the left a bit.

10.Straight up hill to the left.

11. Throw a nice tight line through trees into a open field.

12. Open big arm hole.

13. Open shot with one tree in the way.

14. Open drive into the trees where the basket hides.

15. Short hole into the trees. Take the best line you can.

16. Throw from the open into a opening into the tress basket it tucked around a bush to the right.

17. Nice open drive with basket ether far left or right.

18. Up hill straight ahead! The brings you back to the parking lot.

Signs are accurate with tips to next tee. Locals are very friendly with directions. Dude walking his sheep on the course (unreal). Nature trails with foliage labeled makes this course infotaining (both informative and enterntaining). Great mix of shot lengths from an Acehole to almost 600 feet. Bridges, concrete tees, nice bathrooms. Wildlife like foxes and squirrels. Duck pond. Killer elevation changes. Throw off a big hill to a valley on 5. lots of elevation issues (big rolls if you screw up)

It is a hard course. I throw about 66 at crowley and 81 here. It is a hard course.

This is a fantastic course. Good luck with par on it. Enjoy the day out playing, enjoy the trails, people, and wildlife. Don't think you are going to throw a super game here right off the bat, but do not pass this course up. Worth a trip (I drove over an hour and have no regrets). Took almost 4 hours to play with three of us, but was awesome.

Some of the most aesthetically pleasing looks in the Metroplex. Seems like Arlington scooped up a little piece of Austin
Nice concrete tee boxes
Very challenging course. You'll become a better player the more you play.

Wish my putter didn't come home with paint from the baskets.... that's a first for me.
The course's feel definitely changes after the 11th hole. I found myself wanting to skip the remaining holes and start the course over.
Glass, Glass, Glass, It seems everywhere you look, there is broken glass

Avoid playing Sunday mornings unless you're playing in the "Mini"
Take a map. You'll need it on some of the hole to hole transitions.

The technical variety in your shot selections will be required for many of the holes here. It makes things very interesting and fun.

The long, big, open holes really do balance out all of the shorter holes. For the strong arms, these big holes will be a lot of fun!

The basket placements are really nice. For example, I was glad that the basket was hidden into the tree on hole 1 rather having it being put in the open field.

Hole 4 through 7, I thought, was pretty nice with different lines (shots) you can take. These are definitely more technical.

I can see that there are some new tee boxes on many of the holes, and they are really big. It makes your ability to do a run-up much easier. I also noticed that, from the comments, the tee signs are relatively new too.

I thought the tee signs, as they were, are pretty good and well-designed.

My main problems with this course are consisting of two things.

First of all, the navigation is a bit tricky. I played with a friend who have played the course in the past, which made it easier. However, if I played by myself, I could see myself getting a bit confused. Incorporating "Next Tee" signs on at least few holes may be beneficial.

Second thing: the baskets. It appeared to me that they were new? I really thought the baskets were sub-par in quality. I also didn't think they were regulation-size? I also fond it odd that the baskets were spray-painted? Few of my discs got the silver paint all over them due to hitting the baskets.

This course definitely have a fun factor to it. It has the elevation changes, different lines to the baskets, a mix of open and tight holes, and you can't get too bored playing this course.

Who is this for? I think the more experienced players will enjoy this course more, mainly because of the technical holes. Newbies may get frustrated with all the trees/elevation changes coming into play and the wind on the big, long holes.

I did not see any alternate tee pads. I thought with the alternate pin placements that this course might also have alternate tee pads. (i.e. championship tees or amateur tee pads) I think this would help give more playing options for newbies and seasoned pros.

I'll definitely come back here again and again. It's a lot of fun.

Most courses claim to offer "varied terrain" but Verteran's Park takes it to a whole new level. The first three holes play in and out of the treeline next to a large open field. Then you'd better have brought your hiking boots, because you'll be trekking up and down some rocky terrain filled with short, spindly trees for the next few holes. The back nine opens back up and the remaining trees have way less undergrowth to choke out your vision. Good use of elevation and plenty of holes for you to really let loose you arm.

Although it wasn't impossible to navigate, I think I skipped a hole somewhere between 6 and 8. The course seemed like it was going through a renovation in parts. Some of the numbers on the baskets don't correspond with the hole number, and some of them weren't where they were marked on the course map. "Next Tee" signs would also be helpful.

Even getting lost, this course is amazing. It's one of my favorites. I'm sure most local know, but if you're in from out-of-town, stop by the Quick Stop on your way to the course (3100 W. Arkansas Ln.). Awesome disc selection and awesome people.

This course is very challenging! You get a great workout and the people are usually very nice and helpful.

It is very easy to lose your disc at this course, try and throw bright orange and bright pink discs in the summer. No walking distance stores. This course is usually overcrowded.

If you want to get good fast, play this course often! It is very hard to even par most holes, good luck!

There were great tee boxes here with nice detailed signs. The course was relatively easy to follow. It offers nice open shots and some small shots. It also has some long mixed with short.

The course seemed to stay too short for a long stretch. Toward the end, most holes were small and not very difficult. There is also some pretty wicked brush that is easy to lose a disc in.

I am not a texan. Far from it. I am from Nebraska. When I played, it was 109 degrees and humid. I tried to play through it, but ended up suffering heat exhaustion. I couldn't live in that heat. Tip: Play in Texas in the winter.

Incredibly fun course to play. Gorgeous park with mature trees and rolling hills. Solid mix of mid to long range holes. Great use of elevation changes within park.

None

Eat your wheaties and bring plenty of water.
