    Review by windsurf17 in course McClain Park

    4.00 star(s) Pretty darn close to perfect McClain is right in the middle of a good sized city but isn't a clogged city park. It has an excellent mix of fairways and challenges, only lacking significant elevation changes. The holes aren't maniacally long but pose reasonable challenges. I like how this course...

    Review by windsurf17 in course West Guth Park

    3.50 star(s) This is my closest course. It's got some good distance, blue and red tees; in some cases also white tees. Factoring in the OB and sometimes big time wind and you'll see a wide range of scores. I started scoring well only after I stopped going OB a lot. I recommend this course to anyone in the...

    Review by windsurf17 in course Waldron Park DGC

    2.50 star(s) I'm local to the area and play this course every few months. I like it. It's fun, enough of a challenge but not incredibly difficult. Since I know the course, I forget how tough it might be to find all the tees because they aren't easily seen in some cases. It's probably difficult to find the...

    Review by windsurf17 in course Audubon Park

    3.00 star(s) Fun course for in-town players Fun course if you are in the middle of Dallas. Not sure I'd travel all the way here just for this course, but it's probably a fun league-night course, and worth a commute if you are in town for a few days, too. There are enough challenges to make this fun, for both...

    Review by windsurf17 in course Pioneer Park - Summer 9

    2.50 star(s) Fun course in the middle of town This isn't a destination course, but it's fun if you are in Billings and want to golf. I bet it gets crowded now and then. I only play when I'm in the area visiting family. I've played mostly summer mornings. There are a couple of holes that I worry about...

    Review by windsurf17 in course Diamond X - Original

    4.00 star(s) A Rough Little Diamond Fun, diamond-in-the-rough course. Some tees were hard to find, but the course is beautiful, rugged, playing in a bowl with some small sandstone cliffs. Fantastic place to play. Some great holes off the hill, some with drop-offs, around trees. One of the tee boxes is a big...

    Review by windsurf17 in course BB Owen Park

    3.50 star(s) Fun course in the middle of town Fun course, easy to get to, a decent challenge but not sadistic. Fun for my 66 year old father who plays it a little more than a bogey-per-hole and fun for me, playing it a few down. I like the variety of shots, with some OB and a couple holes with some decent...

    Review by windsurf17 in course Tom Bass Regional Park - Wilmont

    2.50 star(s) Wide open but long * The "Champion Level" course sign at the parking lot for Wilmont made me a little worried I would struggle on this course (now, see cons) * Played E in the Amateur scoring on the board (a 64 I think). Not terrible. I'm not going to be getting many 3's on multiple 600+ foot...

    Review by windsurf17 in course MacGregor Park - Old Layout

    2.50 star(s) Good old fashion course * In the middle of Houston * Exists * Probably fun with a group of casuals * Pretty old fashion park course * Flat and mostly open A buddy told me he played this course in the early 90's and it was a "don't leave you wallet in plain sight" course. I didn't find the area...

    Review by windsurf17 in course Brackenridge Plantation DGC

    2.50 star(s) Not So Bad... * Exists * Convenient if you are in the area * Distance and wind makes it a better challenge * Interesting play-it-forward, play-it-backwards configuration * It's not a hugely difficult course, but it suits a beginner, a relaxing day golfer visiting the lake or area, or an advanced...
