Pros:
1. Located in a fantastic, well-maintained, frequently mowed multiuse park, with picnic areas, clean restrooms, soccer fields and paved hiking paths.
2. Practice basket and covered picnic table near #1 tee, plenty of room to warm up between #1 tee and soccer fields.
3. Course is away from the rest of the park in a space designated specifically for disc golf.
4. Tee signs, concrete tee boxes, and great flow.
5. Great overall design with a number of fantastic holes (described below).

Cons:
1. Restroom is 1/4 mile away from #1 tee box.
2. Only 1 set of tee boxes and 1 pin placement per hole.
3. Shade is improving as trees mature, but you will still need sunscreen on a hot Texas day.
4. Perhaps a few too many (5) under 250' holes, though most of these offer a decent challenge in order to card a birdie.

Other Thoughts:
Zube DGC was designed and engineered to be a disc golf course. It is always mowed and in excellent condition unless there has been recent heavy rain in the area. The holes in many cases have defined fairways marked by manmade hills and / or trees planted for this purpose which are now beginning to mature. As it ages, this course will continue to get better.
There are several terrific holes, including:
#2 & #3 - Long par 3's (420' and 530') with fairways defined on both sides. One could make the argument that #3 should be a par 4. Be sure to warm up before you start if you want to score well on these two.
#5 - Defined fairway again but with a huge oak tree in the middle of the fairway. Keep it low and miss the trunk and you're good, but be sure to bomb it because its 340' to the pin.
#7 - Only 198', with a cluster of trees in the middle of the fairway and fair throwing lanes to the left or right with the basket up on a mound - super fun birdie chance!
#8 - 264' starting in the open but throwing into a reasonably wide tunnel - beautiful shot.
#10 - Signature hole over a big pond with two huge trees also protecting a 310' shot to the basket.
#11 - Another signature hole, a double dogleg 684' par four with a defined fairway again defined by manmade hills and trees most of the way to the basket.
#14 - A challenging 400' dogleg left (especially for LHBH players like me). The distance can be cut to about 330' by going right at the hole, but there are significant obstacles to navigate if you take this approach.
#17 & #18 - The last 2 holes play into or through a decent number of older trees. Great shot lines that reward accuracy and can potentially punish a wayward throw with a bogey.
Conclusion: Undoubtedly one of the very best in courses in Houston - well worth a trip from anywhere in the area or if you are traveling through SE Texas.

Cons:
The ONLY con is that this course is extremely easy. It's almost too easy
Other Thoughts:
If you've been having some bad rounds, go to Zube. It will make you feel better about yourself
