Very fun course which is great exposure for our sport considering there is a school on the property with plenty of kids enjoying the "Frisbees" I really enjoy the atmosphere of this course and the Church that has been nothing but helpful when it comes to hosting tournaments
Even though most of the holes can be 2'd the scoring spread is very good in the sense that there are many chances to also 4 an easy hole by making a dumb mistake...CREEK! I initially thought this was just an easy birdie course but in the last PDGA event a 1000 rated round was right around par much to my surprise.
Anyway Windwood is a great place to play on the NW side of Houston and is one of my favorite courses in town.
No longer "Pros"....course overview from my perspective.
Hole 1- 285ft or so with bushes on the left and a ditch if you go too far- Pretty much need to birdie.
Hole 2- Probably only 270ft in a straight line from the tee but this is actually a good three and nearly undeuceable. Throw your drive through a gap 25ft away and nestle in the landing zone 230-240ft away (making sure to avoid the rough long and especially short as you will have few looks to the basket.). From the landing zone it is about 100ft to the basket with a large anhyzer gape or smaller hyzer line to the pin.
Hole 3- One of my favoritesI A 315ish hole where you need to aim left and play either a tight S or late right turn. There is a large ditch short of the pin and scrubby trees behind leaving those who throw long with tricky putts/
Hole-4 280 or so down across a drainage area with the pin sitting on the other side on a 15ft upslope. This hole gets tricky since long shots skip away leaving you with a long comeback putt with a steep dropoff if you miss. Landing short means a tough uphill putt (usually windy) with misses having to hit tough 3 saves,
Hole 5- Short (220ft) shot where you just need to throw straight and soft down the middle allowing your disc to hyzer 10 15ft at the end and you are parked. Go long and you have a steep ditch (15-25ft putts with the chains 5ft above your head)...DON"T GO LEFT.....why would you ever go left here (reasons: throwing a driver that skips left into the creek) Don't throw a driver on this hole!
Hole 6- 275ft low hyzer ( I actually suggest a driver here.
.
Hole 7- Very tough birdie for being under 300ft . The drive must flex before a large tree and fall back left. Tough to control distance and lift from the wind. Wall of trees 25ft behind the basket.
Hole 8- short 230ft hole with a creek close on the left. There are both a RHFH/LHBH route high and left and a low hyzer line to the right.that leave longer putts on average looking at the water.
Hole 9- Hole nine is a <200ft hole with the creek very close on the left. I advise throwing a slow disc to the right of the basket allowing the hill to slide the disc down). Even "bad" shots usually have a shot at 2.
Hole 10- 330ft right down a beautiful tunnel fairway (not super tight) with a bush 40ft in front of the basket narrowing the fairway on the left.
11 and 12 were also nice being 430 and 390 with a slight anhyzer flex needed to get the birdie.
Hole 11- 425Ft over the drainage areas to a narrowing/protected green. Nasty rough on the right starting 150ft short of the basket.
Hole 12- 375ft hole that calls for a punch/turnover shot to get to the pin or a very wide sweeping hyzer that plays much longer than 375ft. Surprisingly hard to get a deuce on this one.
Hole 13- "Pig Hole" 510ft with a large ditch to the left of the 35ft fairway. The ditch isn't OB and a drive long and left leaves a decent look into the basket.
Hole 14. 375ft Slight hyzer...or wide anhyzer defined by large groups of trees.
Hole 15- 375ft Hole where the wide hyzer seems to be the best option. They just planted a large amount of small trees down the fairway that make getting a good look for a putt harder/luckier.
Hole 16- 400ft hole with two options...Wide anhyzer over an Ob chain-link fence or a punch straight down the right hand side of the fairway that slowly hyzers at the end of its flight.
Hole 17- 395ft hyzer that must fade before a large pine tree 300ft away or risk goin OB in the "lake" short of the basket.
Hole 18- 415ft up a hill and then slowly sloping back towards the basket. Trail on the right was OB at the last tournament but usually played as casual/
Hole 19- 475ft hole with a fairway alongside a baseball field. The fairway curves to the right with the outfield fence. Long grass to the left is played as Ob making long drives risky.
Hole 20- Island hole that is around 240ft with a 30ft radius (60ft landing area) . Go to concrete drop zone if you miss on the drive.
hole 21- 365ft wide open hyzer with a small ditch running to the right of the basket...small wooden bridge 20ft long of the pin.
