Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
- Good layout, requiring a mix of backhand and forehand shots.
- Mostly open and long, allowing for big tee shots and long but fairly easy approaches.
- Because of the jogging trail along the bayou, this course stays better maintained than the North course.
- There's not a ton of water, but it does play a strong factor on holes 3 and 7, forcing a player to think a little more about placement.
- Hole 13 crosses the bayou and is an enjoyable, aesthetic, not too difficult hole.

Cons:
- Like the North course, tees and holes are poorly marked. Stakes are used and can be easily moved or taken, causing confusion for a first time player. Refer to the course map in the links tab for accurate tee placement.
- This course may be too open, with too few trees in play to force players to but finesse on their shots.

Other Thoughts:
Generally, I think this course is nicer than the North course. I find it easier because of it's openness, yet the length of the course can add strokes.
The two courses together can make for an enjoyable day of disc golfing, just prepare with enough water, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent.

Pros:
-Build on an old Golf Course, so it has some nice terrain variation, drains fairly well.
-Pairs with White Oak North for a FULL day.
-Pin Placements are excellent. Well designed and look like someone took the time to figure out the best lines.
-Great local community that embraces the sport and is very glad to see the land being used in a positive manner.
I see this complex becoming THE premier DG destination in Houston. No questions.

Cons:
-The Baskets themselves are ....ok.
-Dogs tied to chains in surrounding backyards that bark...a lot. can be distracting when lining up a shot

Other Thoughts:
Personally, I love White Oak. If you see my review for North, I am overjoyed that there is a legit complex less than 20 minutes from my house. I love being on an old Golf Course, even if the pitfalls do exist such as nasty water and hard pin placements near said water which might threaten my favorite plastic. Plays in about 2.5 hours. Best course in Houston ATM
