Weatherford DGC

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 28, 2022 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-- Multiple tee pads on every hole AND multiple baskets on a few. Three tee pads (two concrete) and two baskets per hole (with at least three pin positions) gives you options galore. What was multiple baskets on every hole a few years ago is down to multiple baskets on a couple of holes. Tee pads are concrete and plenty big, and baskets catch well, whether DGA or Innova.
-- Fun design that brings trees into play on most holes but isn't so choked with trees as to feel like luck is a big factor. Trees also provide shade for large parts of the course, a welcome thing most of the year in Texas.
-- Elevation change, while not awesome, is present. The downhill throw on No. 16, however, has changed. Enlarged and improved parking impacted baskets locations, so the throw is through tree and less down hill. The tee pad is now circular, allowing you to throw RHFH (or a big anny) around the trees or throw through the trees, parallel to the road directly at the basket.
-- The elevated basket on No. 8.
-- Water is a factor on nearly half of the holes in the wet season. However, it is a small creek/ditch, so retrieving your disc is fairly easy.
-- Nice permanent restroom (and covered picnic tables) near main parking. Port-o-potty that was at auxiliary parking lot, near #13 long tee, is no longer there.
-- Practice basket.
-- Auxiliary parking lot in middle of course (between 14 basket and 15 tee) that allows you to start with either hole 6 or hole 15 and come right past your car after 9 holes.
-- No "benches" at the tees, but there are tree stumps cuts into chairs at some holes and large rectangles of stone (limestone?) are at most tees. Also, there are pavilions with picnic tables near the road on Nos. 15-16 and a few old-style cement picnic tables and benches in other spots.

Cons:

-- Tee signs are fairly basic, and they are now old and out of date. One or two are missing.
-- Creek crossings are something of an issue, although a new metal bridge from 8 basket to 9 tee helps.
-- Ants are everywhere, especially in the summer.
-- Course is remote. The nearest place to buy any water or refreshments is a few miles away.

Other Thoughts:

-- I was told more than four years ago that the second set of baskets per hole were temporary and intended for another course. A sign near the parking lot now says that, but there is no mention of a timeframe.
-- New tee pads for Nos. 8 and 10 are in place (and mentioned on the message board at the practice basket).
-- The short tee pads make for SHORT holes. In several instances, that makes holes shorter than 100 feet when playing the short basket position.
-- A couple of recent (spring/summer 2022) changes: New long positions for holes 6, 7 and 11. Six pushes the basket 20-30 feet right; 7 shortens the longest hole on the course by 75-100 feet; 11 lengthens the hole about 75 feet and adds significant difficulty because of trees/vines in the path and an OB fence 20 feet behind the basket. That was in the spring. In late summer, new positions were added on 7, 11 and 16. Also, 16 now appears to have FIVE baskets; four of them are near the parking lot or auxiliary street parking, so perhaps they are intended as practice baskets.

Weatherford is Impressive! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 28, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is pretty awesome. Great use of land and lots of challenge shots with all the trees around. Plenty of shade, great landscaping and teeboxes.

Cons:

Needs to be mowed right now. Grass was pretty high in some places. Don't expect your discs to skip for extra distance, the grass is too thick.

Other Thoughts:

I can't wait to come out and play here again. Too bad I live about an hour away. If there's a PDGA tournament here, I'm definitely signing up.

Weatherford 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Well thought out pin placements
- long concrete teepads
- multiple tee & pin positions
- solid mix of shots
- good baskets
- good signage (except for missing sign on hole 2)
- trees are used well as obstacles
- well shaded for the summer months

Cons:

- navigation was somewhat challenging for the first go around
- tall grass in some areas
- wasn't an issue when I was there, but the whole course is in a floodplane by the lake, so I would imagine it can probably get pretty hairy with any real precipitation

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this course, it is very well laid out. It would be safe to take a beginner here, but still provides a challenge for advanced players looking for deuces (lots of birdie opportunities). It offers some great variety.

Not necessarily a pro or con, but this course seemed oddly LHBH friendly.

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 11, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course had nice concrete teepads and almost all of the holes had signs with the hole layout. All baskets are in really good shape. Course has practice basket. Course had a few benches and trash cans.

Cons:

Some holes need to be mowed. Other than the tall grass in some areas it was a nice course. Also port-a-potties on location..

Other Thoughts:

Good course for the location on the outside of the DFW area.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course has good shot variety, pin positions change with good frequency, is well cared for and usually litter free. Concrete pads with great tee signs. Good shade on several holes. Normally not crowded and has several benches placed throughout the course.

Cons:

No major elevation changes. Locals enjoy walking the park so you have to watch for people and dogs. Several times we've had to flag people picking pecans on hole 18 that we were throwing discs their direction. Parking is close to holes 16 and 18 so an errant disc could possibly hit your vehicle.

Other Thoughts:

I have no issues bringing my young kids with me to this course as everyone is friendly and I don't have to worry about them picking up questionable items or hurting themselves on the terrain.

First Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 2, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Open and easy for beginners. Easy to read and throw. Not too hard to navigate. Pins move every week. Close to weatherford and the best wingstop on the planet.

Cons:

Poison oak/ivy near unmowed areas. Dirt tees turn to mud with rain. Bfe compared other places. Barren. Hard to find opposition.

Other Thoughts:

Started here and will continue to practice here,as its 5 minutes from my house. I live with the weatherford parks & Rec asst dir., he put in the new 9 holes. Is working with the city to put in concrete pads and get beeter info and signage out but its still as before mentioned in other posts, a work in progress. Overall though a nice course, favorite holes are 4 & 6, miss on 6 and its down the backside and behind the tree for you. I always take my dog along for some extra company. I believe theres a weekly wednesday tourney but im not positive.

nice course with potential 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 13, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

For the most part the course flows well together (1st time we played the course and did in about an hour and a half) with most tee boxes in site from previoius baskets. Course is still a work in progress, the last 9 holes have been added to make it an 18 hole course. There is enough trees to make certian shots very challenging and a small creek that runs through a few holes added a small degree of annoyance. around hole 8-10 you do have a nice lake view. there is a mixture of short and long holes with most being around the 225-250 mark it seems. they do offer a map you can pick up on the course bulletion board. but you can aslo find it on pdga.com. They do have two pin settings so the course can change. The course layout makes it challenging and fun. there is not alot of elevation change so its good for the casual player. and only a few holes have a "rough" as the course is maintained well. its nice that the course starts and finishes at the same spot. It is worth driving to to play around, but if they keep it maintained and add some tee pads this will be a favorite and drivable course for many in the fort worth area

Cons:

course is still a work in progress, hole 8 is a bit confusing. what appears to be along open shot off the tee box is actually the basket for 9, the hole is to the right by some trees if basket 9 is 12 oclock then the basket for 8 would be around 2ish. then from basket 9 ten is out in the open and looks back behind the tree line and lake. (some arrows showing you where your next tee is would be helpful) It is a work in progress so the new 9 holes have just a 5 foot pole up with a number for the tee boxes (all tees are natural)

Other Thoughts:

hole two looks evil as they have put the basket behind a split tree. after finishing 5 walk across the small parking lot to hole 6 what looks like it should be 6 is 15 which is directly south of 4

Protected Pins with a Pleasing Pulse 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 12, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is the 3rd updated review for the now 18 hole course! There is some slight elevation changes on many of the holes. This has a variety of styles, including wooded and open holes. The baskets are in good shape. Some of the pins are in some great spots with some kind of obstacle(s) to deal with. There is a small creek running through the course, but it is not deep. The tees are now concrete and they all have great tee signs.Super cool thing about each tee, they all have some kind of sitting spot. Many of them are stump made stools, but there are benches and other types of seating also. There was a nice message board, plenty of trashcans, and 2 portable restrooms.

Cons:

You may need a map to find your way around the first time out. Many of the holes do feel similar, so that do not vary that much.

Other Thoughts:

The Fun Factor is average for me. The pin placements are fantastic, but it just feels like the same driving distance many times over. But hopefully the new pin placements will fix this. I cannot say enough about the great condition and cleanliness of the course. This is a great place to play

Great for a 9 hole course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 1, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a very pretty course! It has pecan trees all over it and a small creek that runs down through the middle of it. The signs are good, baskets are quality, and it is pretty easy to navigate. There are only a couple of pretty long holes, but the short ones aren't gimme birdies either. The trees on the fairways are situated in a way that you have to make some pretty technical throws to score well. The 9 holes that have been added recently are a great improvement to the course. I enjoy the tight downhill holes along the road. There is also a practice basket to warm up on.

Cons:

It is right next to the lake, but there is only one spot on the course where you can barely get a glimpse of the lake. This course does not have concrete tee pads...that would be the one big thing to improve it.

Other Thoughts:

Really fun course to play. Definitely worth making a trip to play. Be careful about going in the fall with fallen leaves everywhere you can lose a disc pretty easily on what you thought was a safe shot.
