Meaning: Earth Mount 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 23, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Using the impressive slopes and wooded surroundings of a multi-use park dominated by a massive man-made hill rising up to 40 to 50 feet high and as much as 600 feet long, the Terramont disc golf course boasts nine interesting holes to challenge intermediate skills and above. It is unique in the region as having so much elevation come into play on two thirds of its holes.

You'll have the opportunity to throw steeply downhill into tight, turning gaps in the woods, and then fire out through another tight gap and uphill to slightly blind positions. Flatlanders can learn to throw nearly 400 feet up a sidehill slope with a rollaway green, and to glide a downhill bomb back the other way. Even the couple of truly flat lane holes will help the player control angle and distance.

Really nice signage gives a graphic and distance, plus features birds to watch for in the park. Good DGA baskets finish each hole. The tees are adequate rubber mats. Alternate tees are hinted at on the map here, but I only saw, and played, the red tees where the signage was. The park has a pavilion, skate park, dog area, and playground, and most of that is shaded and well separated from the flying discs. In all, the kind of park I'd be happy to bring the family to, if I lived nearby.

Cons:

The course has grown in a bit since it was first laid out, and you won't always find a branchless lane through the woods gaps. There is a solid likelihood that bigger arms will go for the random spike hyzer line on 1 & 5, for instance, with the ensuing searches for where the disc might have kicked or gotten hung up. The tee mats are often not really level, or are crumbling (holes 1 & 9).

Many folks have expressed concern that the ace run hole 9 is out of place (past the soccer field) and out of character (a 'dinker'). Personally, I enjoy an ace run, but noted the walking path emerges blind from the left, just 25 feet past the pin.

Other Thoughts:

I played here on a very humid summer morning while visiting relatives in the area, and enjoyed the fact that there was at least one course that had a hill!

What a workout 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 8, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

biggest hill in Houston
course has a variety of shots

Cons:

Tee pads are falling apart
favors right handed hyzers for several holes into the edge of the woods

Other Thoughts:

This course is a workout, up and down the hill on 7 of the 9 holes (other two are relatively flat)

Seriously, hole one tees off from the top of the hill down towards the dog park in the woods, hole 2 is a an hyzer up the hill. Hole 3 is a downhill hyzer shot

Hole 4 is a longer uphill shot

Hole 5 is yet again another hyzer shot with the pin way back up into the woods, looks like you need to go over the top for a chance for birdie.

Hole 6 is a nice long well defined fairway shot with the tee slightly elevated on a small hill.

Hole 7 is a long hole up the side of the hill, have to watch the hit and roll here for right handers.

Hole 8 is a long downhill shot

then you need to walk across the soccer pitch to hole 9, a simple little pitch and putt shot.

If you need a leg workout, this is the course for you. It wore me out going up and down that hill.

Course With Elevation 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 20, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Interesting disc golf course that uses a hill for elevation to make shots more challenging. More than half the course plays using this hill and makes for a great round of disc golf. Holes 1,3. and 5 are downhill shots into the brush surrounding the course where the baskets are located for these holes. Careful attention must be paid so the throw doesn't land in the brush or goes into the wrong opening in the woods. A good tomahawk throw would also help on at least two of these holes. Holes 2, 4, and 7 shoot up the hill and require a good throwing strategy and good parking discs as chance for a roll away is very real. Holes 6 and 9 are flat straightaway holes and need good straight throws to stay in the fairway. Hole 8 plays across the top of the hill and is pretty much of a straight shot to the basket with minimal obstructions except wind.

Cons:

The only cons I see here is that this is a shared use park, so that a constant watch must be kept out for park users in the fairway. Also the tee pads are in poor shape and need replacing. These are the only two cons I see here.

Other Thoughts:

This is an excellent course to go to and practice elevation play. No holes are too long and is one of the best in the area.

Enjoyable shared course, well done 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 21, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Lots of elevation changes
Challenging narrow entrances to basket area
Variety of elevation seriously challenges the Texas player, as we normally don't get this amount of elevation changes

Cons:

Need to be careful and considerate of other park goers as it is a shared park. I've not found any real issues, as most of the park goers have been considerate to me, and I return the favor and once and a while either skip or just throw a putter when I think I could accidentally throw to close to some folks.
Teepads are low quality, this is the one major negative. They pool water, become slipper, and can be frustrating. No biggee though. I can enjoy disc golf anywhere.

Other Thoughts:

Well done for a shared park. I really enjoy the change of pace and visit this every few months.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 20, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is in a beautiful park with a huge hill that the course plays up and down multiple times. If you are looking for a course with any kind of elevation this is your best option by far.

The course has interesting hole placements when you are shooting down the hill. The majority of the holes are perched into the trees which makes you be accurate on your tee shot or you will be shooting from the trees.

The course is not used very often from what I observe. You can throw multiple shots and play multiple times as the course plays quickly.

Navigation is not an issue if you can find the first tee on top of the hill. Most holes have nice tee signs that are very visible from the previous hole.

This course has a couple long, flat throws, and some short strategic shots. Shot variety is at a high at this course.

Cons:

Not a lot comes to mind when it comes to cons at Terramont Park. But, a big con that I noticed are the rubber tee pads. They probably were suitable when they were first installed but they have became uneven or ripped.

The holes can be repetitive. There are 3 holes that are shooting down the hill and probably 3 holes that are shooting back up the hill. The best hole was #6 and that had no elevation change in it.

The park is busy with other activities. #8 and #9 play precariously close to the football/soccer field. There are also runners training on the hill. Just keep a wary eye on the people around you; they may not know what you are up to.

Hole #9 is the most uninspired finishing hole if there ever was one. Compared to the previous 8 holes, #9 is a huge let down with no elevation change and no obstacles to contend with.

Other Thoughts:

Like previously mentioned, this course plays quick. Bear Branch is nearby for a longer 18 holes. This course can be played twice in an hour and is a good place to practice your elevation shots.

There are missing tee signs on three of the holes. The tee signs are very nice that if they are replaced this course would be better looking. Concrete tee pads also should be considered in the future. The rubber tee pads are not working anymore and do not their job as it was intended.

Still, this is a great course to come and play and is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course takes advantage of a large man made hill surrounded by woods. This means you get true elevation change in otherwise very flat Houston. The course layout uses the hill well -- most holes go up the hill, down the hill, or along it. Having the long straight hole 6 in the middle mixes things up nicely. The course flows very well, the only place that isn't super clear is going from 8 to 9. Most holes have nice tee signs.

Cons:

The pin placements on top of the hill are pretty boring, the only challenge is to get up the hill. The few trees on top don't come into play. And the greens are flat, with few rollaway risks or uphill or downhill putts. The rubber tee pads are uneven, especially on hole 7 where a big puddle had collected. The tee signs were missing on several holes, and the chains for basket 1 were not in good shape. As other reviewers have mentioned, hole 9 is boring (nice to have an easy birdie though). A long throw on 9 could also potentially hit people on the basketball court.

Holy Huge Friggin Hill 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 10, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

-HUGE hill, awesome elevation shots!
-very cool signs with map of each hole, distance and par
-black rubber teepads
-long tees marked with bricks
-clean, well-kept park in a very nice neighborhood
-plenty of parking
-no crowds
-pavilion, bathrooms, and a playground for the kiddos
-feels secluded once away from the the pavilion, etc.

Cons:

-rubber pads are decent but some are a little uneven
-signs missing on holes 1 & 9
-a couple holes are a bit repetitive: 1 & 5 and 2 & 4 are almost the same tee shot
-no trash cans out on the course (there are some by the pavilion and playground)
-navigation is not too bad but finding a couple of the holes requires some guesswork on the first time out
-hole 9 is lame

Other Thoughts:

This is an awesome little neighborhood course. The area looks to be a wealthy suburb and the park reflects this: very clean, nice amenities, trophy wives hanging out by the pavilion while their kids play on the playground.

The course takes advantage of the large, man-made hill in the center of the park. Most of the holes play up (2, 4), down (1, 5, 8) or across (3, 7) this hill. There are trees dotting the side and top of the hill and the areas around the hill are thickly wooded. As such, many of the holes play down or across the hill to a pin hidden inside the tree line (holes 1, 3, 5) or start inside the trees and play out and up the hill (2, 4). Hole 6 is a monster 500' in one of the few areas away from the hill.

There are some unique tee signs that show a color map of the hole as well as the hole number, distance and par. The signs are about waist high and face upward instead of outward like most tee signs. Unfortunately, the signs were missing on holes 1 and 9. The black rubber mats are sufficient in most cases but in some places they are uneven.

I found the course to be really fun to play. The elevation adds much to the enjoyment. I imagine it keeps the course interesting for the locals because of the potential for rollaways. I really wanted to play another round here but I had limited time to hit a few other courses. I would have liked to play from the longs. I wasn't really looking for them but only saw 2 or 3. Some other reviews have said that some are hard to find.

After having such a great time at this course, I was so disappointed to see hole 9: just a wide open, 200' straight shot. It isn't even near the rest of the course and seems to have been added as an afterthought just to get 9 total holes. As other reviewers have said, it seems that scrapping this hole and putting in another one elsewhere would be a good thing for the course.

Between this course and Bear Branch nearby, The Woodlands has some pretty solid disc golf. I was just in the area overnight and played the Woodlands courses and the Conroe courses. This was my favorite of all of them.

GREAT 9-HOLE!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Love the elevation change on the course. No doubt though, the hills we're manmade. But thats fine. It's nestled in a quiet area in the woodlands, and there has never been to much of a crowd when I've played there. The course has it all, elevation and woods, long and short. Downhill and uphill.

Cons:

Hole 9 is kind of a throwaway. just a straight, no trees except to the right, 200 ft. hole. Almost aced it with an aviar. Also, course is very much catered to RHBH players. I'm right handed, but I have a mean flick I like to pull out every so often.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, course is great, you're gonna get good exercise, especially for a 9-hole because of the hills. My favorite hole would probably be 3,5, or 8. Lot of chances for birdies, even if I tend to mess that up alot!

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 1, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-course is located in a really nice park with ample parking, pavillion, bathrooms, dogpark, playground equipment, but the course is away from all this and is the only thing in the park that utilizes the massive fill hill.
-The elevation is used quite well at the course with 4 holes playing downhill, 3 playing uphill and 2 flat holes. This all provides for some decent variety in holes, although there are some cons associated with this type of variety.
-All the holes have good back tees marked by blocks which all change the hole pretty drastically. The best example of this being hole 3 which plays downhill from the normal tees but plays an uphill placement shot and then downhill to the pin from the back tee. Really nice hole. Another good example of the hole changing both line and distance is hole 6 which is a flat 500' from the short tees but a shorter, tight rhbh hyzer shot out of the woods long tees.
-the hill is also utilized in a variety of ways, while most either shoot straight up or straight down, holes 3 , 7, and 8 are different, 3 plays along the side, 8 is a long slopeing shot down the broad side of the hill and 7 plays along the flat for the first shot and the ends at the top of the hill
-Decent tee signs and pads on the shorts

Cons:

While I eluded to there being quite a bit of variety here, the play feels a bit repetitive, holes 1 and 5 are the same as well as 2 and 4 are the same. There is also a strong rhbh bias.
-The longs tees were tough to find even with a map, and sometimes placed strangely like 3 whose brick is on an uphill slope when 10 ft behind was flat. A few bricks were totally gone or not where they were supposed to be. 2 and 9 weren't able to be found. Where nine looked to be, there was another dirt fill going on.
-I had a minor issue with the design as well. 9 is a complete throw-away hole, and there is a ridiculous walk up the hill to the first tee just to go back down moments later. It would have been nice to make an uphill or along the side of the hill first hole, and junk 9. Just my opinion though.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I enjoyed this course a lot, and would probably hit it again for 9 holes if I made my way down to H-town again. I just had a bunch of minor issues that snowballed for me and caused the lukewarm review.

Storm The Hill! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 26, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Elevation in Houston!?!?! Whaaaa?
That's right. Terramont is centered around a large man made hill, incorporating elevation into almost every hole. The course makes fantastic use out of very little land and provides plenty of distance for the big arms.

The first thing one might notice is how stunning and clean this park is. The lucious greenery makes for quite the landscape.

This course lets you really bomb out some drives, but not without worry of them rolling down a hill. Terramont is a great course for learning how elevation affects throws. The combination of tight and open holes provides for a fairly well rounded 9 hole course.

The alternate tees make for a solid second round, giving a different perspective of shots on each hole. The alternate for #2 is a real punisher if you miss your line.

Rubber tee pads are in solid condition as well as the DGA baskets.

Cons:

My biggest beef with this course is hole #9. It is argueably a "nice ace run to finish with," but we all know it's pretty much a throw away hole unless you play it as an island with the trees on the right being OB. This hole has me torn between a rating of 3 or 3.5

This course is definitely RHBH friendly. This could be a con if you're a forehand thrower who frequents Bear Branch.

There are almost always pedestrians on the course or in the way of a hole. Be respectful of them because many are unfamiliar with the sport and often aren't aware that they are in the way. Watch out for small children who tend to dart in front of you or pick up your disc.

The alternate tees are marked with bricks, making them very hard to find for players unfamiliar with the course layout.

If you are out of shape, you will definitely be feeling the burn from climbing the steep hill.

Other Thoughts:

Terramont's location is within 10 miles of Bear Branch, Spring Valley, McDade, and Gwen Hruska, making it an ideal stop off for a long day of disc golf.

The Woodlands offers numerous resteraunts for those traveling to play the course.

This is an excellent course for competitive rounds because it provides plenty of score seperation between players.

Great 9 hole 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very well kept. The hills provide a good challenge, and make it fun to try out new shots. Never crowded with tons of people. The power holes are fantastic, and very challenging.

Cons:

On a windy day, it can be very hard to control your shots on the hills. The woods can get very thick, making it hard to find lost discs. the walk from hole to hole can be a little physically demanding, due to walking up and down hills.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, great, well kept, fun course. This course can teach a player how to cope with a combination of wind and elevation changes. I would recommend this course to anyone visiting the woodlands, or passing through.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 28, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is my favorite course in Houston. Elevation changes on all but 2 holes. The elevation holes have you either throwing from a hill into the trees or from the trees up a hill. #8 is definately one of the nicer holes in Houston--feels like a ball golf hole.

Cons:

Most holes best suited for RHBH hyzers but the pro's kill the single con of the course. Slight knock on the rubber pads wrinkling up.

Other Thoughts:

Condition wise this course is hands down the cleanest/best kept course in Houston. Only thing close is Spring Valley Power course but only b/c it sits on the maintained ball golf course. The park is not that big but was designed perfectly to utilize the space. I haven't gone looking for the second set of boxes b/c it's been so hot as of late but I have a feeling it's going to bring an awesome new look to an already good course. Even without the second set of boxes it has great replay quality. If you haven't played this course then you're sorely missing out. #9 might be boring for some but it's one that has everyone gunning for the ace. Good way to finish a round on a high or make you want to come back to get that ace.

8 Great Holes One Throw Away 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 15, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Im going to just come out and say it. This is the best 9 hole course in the Houston area. It really isn't even close. The course offers true drastic elevation changes. With many shots going up and down steep hills. There are alcove shots like 3 and 5 and a long bomber on 6. If you want to play a quick 9 and live in the area play this course period.

Cons:

As the previous reviewers have stated 9 is a throw away hole. Its a 200 foot straight shot, although I will caution, do whatever you can to not throw into the woods on that hole. You will be lucky if you ever find your disc.

Other Thoughts:

I organized a team building activity at work and took everyone out to Terramont. They loved it. Beginners and experienced players alike enjoyed the layout, the clean awesome park, and the surprising "Hill" that resides at the center of this nine hole gem. This is a great park to take your family to if you have kids, as it has one of the coolest playgrounds around with a kick butt slide that had me wishing I was 5 again. Play Terramont now you won't regret it.

What's a Hill? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 14, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

A large hill makes this course different from any other in North Houston. The elevation change makes shot selection an important part of your round, because if you come up short, you'll most certainly end up in the woods. Very nice Fly18 Tee Pads offer comfortable footing, even in rainy conditions. Easy to follow layout inside a very user-friendly park.

Cons:

Only 9 holes. I could have played 100 holes if they were all as good as these.

Other Thoughts:

I wanted so badly to put this in the "Con" section, but there is a huge hill. Up and down, originally from the flat-lands of northwest Ohio, this was a very geologically educational round.

Big Elevation...Yes, in Houston! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 2, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is about the only true elevation course in Houston. This course has length, technical shots, and big slopes. With the alternate tees (Marked with a small brick), a person can really play 18 holes and feel like they were 18 different holes.

The tee area is complete with high quality signs that are fairly unique to the Houston area, and there are Fly18 rubber tee pads to help with footing.

There are quality bathroom facilities and a cool playground area for the kiddies to play at. Comparatively speaking, for a short course with no real hazards, a person who plays just in the Houston area will appreciate the different feel Terramont has to offer.

BEST HOLE/S: #2

Cons:

The alternate tees are very difficult to find since it is just a brick in the ground, but they are new so it may change over time. Consult the map under links for all alt placements.

The Fly18 rubber tees are a bit short for my taste, and many are getting torn and badly worn. The soccer field can come into play for an errant shots on holes #8 and #9. Also, hole #9 is boring at best, since most people don't play it as the "island" hole it was intended to be.

Hole #6 can get pretty nasty after a rain especially by the tee box, and hurricane Ike downed some trees, which makes a horrible shot into the woods even worse. This is primarily an issue on the left side, so steer clear by hugging the right hand side of the fairway.

WORST HOLE/S: #9

Other Thoughts:

Without the alternate tees, this is a course to play occasionally to practice elevation shots. With the newly added alternate tees, (as far as 9 hole courses go) - this is probably one of the best 9-hole courses within 100 miles of Houston with only Northside Christian Church DGC being the only other close in quality and design.

Another perk is that Stonebridge Church DGC is currently being redesigned into an 18-hole course, so there will be 27 holes of DG within about 2 miles of each other.
