Paschall Park

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Driving range on site, with distances marked. Some sort of enclosure encroaches on the right side of it now, but I don't know what it's for.
- Concrete tee pads, decent sized. Two per hole, except 16, which has one natural tee area marked. Locals often play a long tee for 16 from the corner of the property close to houses that border the park, but it is not marked. A middle tee has been added on 1, but there is no pad there.
- Playground on site.
- Trash cans throughout.
- Distance variation is good and is helped by six holes where the long tee is more than 100 feet longer than the short tee.
- Best holes are 3, 5, 10 and 16. Three (296/351) is mostly open, but you've got the ditch to clear about 100 feet short of the basket; you've also got some trees on both sides of the fairway after the ditch, and a backstop of a bank behind the basket. Five (214/255) has the creek left and a low-hanging limb about 50 feet in front of the tee. Ten (375/457) plays up a 30-foot wide alley with thick brush on both sides. The basket sits on the right edge of the bushes, with a tree and a few bushes that stick out and block some of the path on the right. Sixteen (220) plays as a triangle island. Surrounded by gravel and paths, you throw through a moderately wooded fairway with about 190 feet needed to reach the island. Seventeen long (403) is also good. A RHBH shot clears the water quickly, but it also fades toward the water, adding some danger.

Cons:

- Course flow is mostly good, but crossing the small ditch (not the creek itself) causes some issues. On both 1 and 2, you are likely walking up the fairway toward the tee you just threw from to use a bridge. There used to be a bridge 2-3, but it no longer exists.
- Tee signs are non-existent. Tees are marked by yellow metal poles. At one time, distance was listed there, but the stick-on numbers are almost completely gone now.
- No seating at tee pads.
- Holds water for a long time after a rain, especially holes 12-15.
- No elevation. I don't think any holes has as much as a 10-foot change in elevation.
- Water is underutilized. The small ditch comes into play on the first three holes (262-296 feet from the short tees), but it takes a really bad throw or a bad kick off a tree to get wet. Five (214/255) brings the bigger creek into play left because of a low hanging limb. After that, a 20-25 foot wide creek runs through the middle of a chunk of the course, but there is basically no water carry (17 from the long tees is a short carry) and no baskets placed near the water. Only a really bad shot is going to find that water.
- Gravel makes up most of the fairways for holes 8-11, so discs can get chewed up.
- No map on site.
- Seven (498/651) is a long, open, boring hole. The creek is left, but it's easy to avoid.

Other Thoughts:

- Nice restroom on site, but it's part of a pavilion that can be reserved, so you might find yourself walking through someone's party to get to it.
- Some people will call this a pitch-and-putt, but the long tees give you the option of four holes longer than 400 feet.

Great course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 22, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This was a fun course to play, it has a lot of variety, there is water to deal with and the wind is always blowing it seams. Really challenging course that you need your whole bag for.

Cons:

The tee signs are small are really had to find sometimes 8-10 is down a gravel road so it's really hard on your disc. Your will probably end up with a disc in some kind of water. But with it being a small creek you can sometimes get it back.

Birdie or Bust 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Fun little Beginner to Am level course.
Nice flow and pretty easy to follow.
Nice adequate tees except 16 no tee pad.
2 tees on every hole except 16.( I really wouldn't call them pro and am tees).
Discatcher baskets.
Birdie and Ace run on pretty much every hole.
Ace runs are definitely here but can be punished if missed.
Several baskets set right by the tree line/woods.
Great mixture of lefty to right handed holes
Has open and wooded holes nothing overly heavily wooded.
Lines are big enough to hit.
Almost all holes have both lines.
Should be a quick round not very busy.
Bathrooms and playgrounds for the family groups.
Nice little creek running down the center of the course to add a little challenge.

Cons:

No elevation
A few tee markers are missing information.
Discatchers are still in pretty decent shape but have seen better days.
Don't expect a call on lost disc in creek. Someone was swimming and reselling disc.

Other Thoughts:

All in all a pretty fun little course for a quite round.
Hole 1 starts across bridge from bathrooms by the playground.
Driving range north of the main parking lot.
Better course in the DFW area course probably doesn't see very busy days.
Course could use a few upgrades.

fun course, well maintained 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 7, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

1. Easy to find
2. Maps & Distance on every hole
3. Pro & AM TeePads
4. Great mix of long distance drives and ace runs
5. Great use of land and space.
6. Easy layout, easy to follow
7. Course can be challenging for pros and easy enough for beginners to not get frustrated and leave the game
8. Water fountain that works.
9. Great parking

Cons:

1. No elevation shots ie; up hill/downhill
2. beer cans everywhere on course. I'm not going to say it was disc golfers that left the trash, but I doubt some homeless guy is leaving glow stick wrappers all over the course and around the baskets. There are trash cans people, pack out what you pack in.
3. It's not the course, but its flipping hot in the summer. Lots of open space, wear sunscreen and bring plenty of water
4. A few holes are close to playgrounds, watch for littles running into the fairways.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, great experience. Showed up by myself, and met two others there to play at the same time. was invited to play along. Everyone I ran into on the course seemed to be friendly. Except for the guy that lost his westside knight that was signed by Paul McBeth...He wasn't very grateful when it was returned. But that didn't ruin my good time.

Short and sweet 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 16, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-this course has a very cool disc golf driving range. It's great for practicing shots and measuring their distances (or just for realizing that you don't really throw 400 ft like you claim to...you know who you are). I really wish more courses had this feature
-great course flow. It's extremely easy to find each teepad and there is no fairway crossing or issues of that nature
-there are long and short tees, great teepads, quality baskets, and decent signage
-there is good variation in shots needed
-there are ace runs and birdiable holes aplenty
-you can play through pretty quickly
-there are plenty of other fun things to do close by if you are visiting the area
-there is a playground, clean bathrooms, and a good covered picnic table area
-nice mixture of light, medium, and heavily wooded areas
-there are several water hazards since a creek runs through about half of the course
-there are some nice tournaments held here and top quality disc golfers that come out to play
-there are several disc golf courses VERY close by

Cons:

-there are rocks and caliche on a few of the holes (8-11) which can just wreak havoc on discs
-the winding creek and the wooded areas can lead to lost discs (there are very large snapping turtles in this creek and who knows what else lurking...)
-when it rains a lot, this course gets muddy and bad
-there are some wide open holes that present very little challenge
-although the signage is decent, it really needs more info. I like ones with distances, pictures, and directions to the next hole
-there are abundant woods around that could easily hold many more holes. I wish some more of these wooded areas were used as opposed to some of the open and/or caliche areas

Other Thoughts:

This is a really fun course that plays quick. It has a lot of nice features, just make sure to bring a couple of discs you don't mind getting scraped up or lost. There are soooo many courses nearby, you could easily play different courses all day long. It is well worth going to if you live anywhere in the area. If you live within 30 minutes of this course, it should be in your regular rotation of courses to play.

Up your handicap 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 21, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Good blend of long and short, left and right handed tees.
-two tee positions for almost every hole (long and short)
-Well laid out course, good baskets, well maintained course
-From the short tees this course is still challenging and very fun
-From the long tees your score will suffer if you score all holes as Par 3's like we do.

Cons:

-11th Hole can be very smelly in the summer
-Pipeline Maintenance can sometimes interfere with the course
- Hole 17 is very close to houses and you'll lose discs unless you want to risk jumping in someone's backyard and getting shot. (Welcome to Mesquite!)
-Can be busy and most of the groups playing have little etiquette as far as letting smaller groups play through.

Other Thoughts:

I love this course.. one of our favorites and our group plays this one quite often. Very, very fun!

Worth playing 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 22, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well maintained course the times I have played. Most tee pads are decent sized and in good shape. Driving range awesome for warm up or practice. Water and trees for obstacles.

Cons:

Creek smells like sewage. Could use better markings on tee pad poles. No real elevation change. Several (4?) holes along a caliche road.

Other Thoughts:

Well maintained course that plays very different from blue and white teepads. Almost like two different courses except for the smelly creek and caliche road. Offers a variety of challenges in throws. Several holes around the back side gives a chance at an ace run.

Only 2nd course played.. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 18, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

I loved the driving range.. (located to the far right of #7 Tee Pad) .. was a great place to warm up. Driving range rated up to 400'.

Layout was awesome.. play over crisscrossing creeks about 3' wide for the first 3 pins. Then end up in the wooded area by pin 8 through 16.

Restroom onsite and entire area was kept mowed unless you end up in the rough lol..

Cons:

Tee signage could be a lot better! I ended up throwing at wrong pin on #8 Tee.. all the white pads had missing pin direction. Had to check the Blue tee pads for pin placement before going to the white tee pads.

Other Thoughts:

Would most definitely go back when in the area again.

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 2, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course really has it all. Nice concrete teepads, (2 sets of teepads blue and white) the course is well maintained and grass is cut. The course has long to short, left to right, wide open(rip it drives) and tight (technical).

Cons:

The only con I have about this course is that hole #16 has a missing basket. The only other miner con would the little to no hole signage.

Other Thoughts:

I would say If your in the area I would say this is a must play. I would absolutely play this course again if I am in the area again.

Missing basket 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

Fun course mostly open shots. Water is play on some of the holes, which makes more of a challenge.

Cons:

The wind will plays havoc with your discs, if not thrown correctly or using the wrong disc, you will find yourself wet.

Other Thoughts:

missing basket on #16. Wondering if the neighbors had it removed to keep the players out of their yards?

Pros:

Fun Course. fun holes a few short ace run types. Course has decent flow. bathrooms water fountains. nice concrete pads along with driving range.

Cons:

Rocks on the back nine due to construction last year could use better signage. trash all over the creek and in the woods.

Other Thoughts:

Mesquite seems to do their best to maintain this course it is always mowed during the summer months. can also become crowded during peak season.

...unless theres been rain. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 14, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course was great due to the fact that it was challenging with a good mixture of long, short, technical, doglegs and hazardous holes. One of my favorite elements was the risk/reward holes. The course had a lot of space but did not feel overly long due to the natural flow of the well-manicured terrain. Tee pads were spacious and signs were helpful as well. Also i loved the driving range! Bathrooms at hole one were nice as well with covered picnic tables.

Cons:

Some signs were missing and neighbors yards could be problematic due to signs telling golfers to under no circumstances retrieve discs... also some of the tee pads were not engineered to stay dry during wetter times of the year.

Other Thoughts:

Which brings me to the name of this review... The area used for the park is along a river that serves as drainage for the higher surrounding areas. Multiple creeks cross the course in route to said river. When it rains this park turns into an entirely different animal. the mud is thick deep and sticky. People with walking challenges should avoid the days following rain. Normal creek crossings are not crossable and even small bridges can be washed out. The areas around the baskets that do not have grass on some holes can also be bad. And some tees on the back 9 become submerged. Did i mention the mud?

Well Maintained, Great Flow 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very well maintained. Great flow from hole to hole. Concrete pads. Long and short pads at each hole. Practice lanes with distance markers :)

Cons:

Relatively straight shots and feew elevation changes so not overly challenging. Can get crowded. Looks like it could get farily muddy, but the trails are rocky in the back nine to assist with this.

Other Thoughts:

Overall a very nice course. Would happily go back.

Amazing course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 5, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Long and short tees to keep everyone happy!
Driving range!
Concrete tees!
Water fountain!
Bathrooms!
New and improved drainage!
Trash cans!
City is active in in maintaining it, cutting down dead trees and making improvements.

*Update* city is putting down mulch around baskets and problematic muddy areas.

Cons:

The rock fairway on the back 9
They don't empty the trash cans enough.


*UPDATE* Hole 16's basket has been removed due to complaints. Can play from 16 tee bad to holes 7 basket as replacement.

Other Thoughts:

Overall this is a great course and they take care of it very well and with the combination of short/long tees, good basket locations, and just enough trees and OB make this course challenging and fun! It is a must play if you are in the area! Below is a short description of all the holes.

1 Basket straight ahead to the left. Trees to the left and right from the tee with a small creek running from the left side towards the front of the hole.

2 Basket straight straight forward with trees guarding most lines about 3/4 down and a small OB creek running to nearly left of center.

3 Straight open shot with creek running horizontal through its 3/4 down.

4 Open shot with large creek to the left.

5 Tree hangs over right in front of the tee forcing you to throw low onto a narrow fairway, large creek to the left and to small pounds to the right during parts of the year...they dry up in the summer.

6 Short tunnel shot through some tree.

7 The longest hole by far on the course, big arm hole, straight shot, large creek to the left.

8 Straight forward, basket tucked into a pocket of trees to the left.

9 Straight forward with the basket to the left under some trees.

10 Basket straight to the right by some trees with a small ob creek behind it.

11 Short hole needing a small hyzer curve, very acable

12 Very cool hole requiring a nice S throw to get to a basket guarded by trees.

13 straight shot with trees to the left and right, good ace run

14 Straight shot under a tree canopy with basket to the left in small clearing

15 Cannot see the basket from tee, it follows the tree line to the left, need a big hyzer.

16 This is a real fun hole, shoot up a small hill with a bunch of trees blocking most long lines towards a basket the is in the open on the other side of the trees. If you happen to throw in grandmas backyard just knock, nice people. *UPDATE* this basket has been removed, play from tee pad as normal to hole 7's basket just be courteous to people playing hole 7.

17 & 18 are both straight open no tree big arm holes (if from longs) with a big creek to the left of both.

Can play from basket 18 to basket 4 for tie-breaker or bonus hole.

Pros:

Very nice park, I enjoy the layout and the scenery is very nice... Nothing is in the way of the drive, mid drive and putter. I will go back again once the weather is in better shape.

Cons:

Only con that I have discovered is the wrong day to play is when it was very windy making it almost impossible to play...

Other Thoughts:

I'm not going to give this course a bad review since my good friend and I decided to play on one of the worst, windiest days in North Texas. We gave it a shot and ended up calling it quits during the 6th hole, sadly...

Great Morning 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 26, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice park and grounds well maintained. Driving range right off the parking lot big plus, great course layout. Multiple tees if your wife or girlfriend wants to play with you. Spike heisers came into play alot for me and got more practice with my whippet disc than normal. Back 9 is carved through the woods, most of the trees have dropped their leaves making it easier to find discs if necessary. Had a relaxing morning, will come back with friends next time. Great course to practice on for sure. Also, lot of the creeks you have to carry were low, easy to find discs if they take a swim.

Cons:

I went out there solo, always better with a friend. It was really muddy but was tolerable since course has moderately flat layout.

Other Thoughts:

Wish they would have had baskets by driving range to make a complete practice area. Do check it out if you have time, it's worth the round.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 11, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Clean.
Easy to follow.

Cons:

This course isn't very technical from the beginner tee pads so play the advanced tees after you've played for a year or so to add some distance and a few extra obstacles to spice it up.
Can get muddy after recent rain from poor drainage on the back 9.
No elevation changes.

Other Thoughts:

Hole #1 should be a par 3 from both tee pads. Back 9 gives you plenty of opportunity to lower your score.
