Solid, fun course - needs some love

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 6, 2024 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Everything in the other reviews covers the pros perfectly - great property for a course, has great baskets and pads, a huge area with no other activities to interfere, even with walkers on the paths as it doesn't get much traffic at all.

Cons:

Soon, hopefully very soon, the local HOA will release funds to clean/repair what's needed. Until then it's rough and has unsafe bridge crossings.

Other Thoughts:

Why I wrote this 'review' - I would like any local or traveling trusted reviewers to contact me to set up a time to play here. I am working with the "Lifestyle Coordinator" of Windsong to not just clean up, but improve this course as much as they are willing to fund. They have some big ideas but also no experience with disc golf or events. Before any big changes are made, however, I'd like the input from others and to discuss design improvements.

Windsong Ranch

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 30, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Risk/reward is good. A creek is in play, and you've got throws over the creek and alongside it. There are also a few holes where the creek danger is somewhat hidden from the tee by trees or tall grass. The shortest hole on the course has a tight line with the creek on 3 sides of it. You've also got options for tight lines through trees directly to the basket or a more-open but less direct path to many baskets.
-- Good variety. Some longer more open holes for the bigger-armed players and some shorter holes with tight lines.
-- Stone tee signs that give you necessary information. They also have a QR code to a disc golf survey.
-- Stone benches.
-- Long, concrete tee pads.
-- DGA baskets in good shape.
-- Basically a disc golf only area. Houses border the property, and there is a walking path. The disc golf course stays away from those things when possible, but the walking path comes into play several times.

Cons:

-- No parking, map, water or restroom.
-- This is a private course, and you need to be either a Windsong resident or a guest of a resident to play.
-- Navigation isn't great. That isn't generally a huge issue because you either live there or are playing with someone who lives there.
-- Creek crossings are sketchy. A couple of bridges are nice, but you cross the creek several times with no bridge. A poor throw can cause you real trouble with creek crossings.
-- Very little elevation.
-- Course was pretty muddy when I played. It's difficult to know for sure, but this appears to be more about the land than recent weather.

Other Thoughts:

-- The QR code on the tee signs sends you to a survey about the course. You'll have to plug in a Windsong address to fill out the survey.
-- Course redesign/improvement is under consideration as is opening the course to more play, perhaps even tournaments.
