DeBusk Park

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 2, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-- Tee pads. They are 6x12 concrete on every hole.
-- DISCatcher baskets. They are showing signs of age but still catch well.
-- Navigation is mostly good. The transition from 2-3 is the only one that is iffy. After 2, follow the walking path across the bridge and go left and up the hill to 3.
-- Elevation (although not huge) is well used. Three and six throw downhill; five throws uphill. The 8 basket sits on the edge of a hill; and the 9 fairway has a large hill on the left side.
-- Water is in play on holes 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9. It's 20-25 wide and about 15 feet down to generally shallow water. If you can traverse the steep banks, retrieving a wet disc shouldn't be difficult. On 2 (405 feet), you've got an open fairway, but you've got water right and an OB sidewalk left. You also have an inlet from the creek about 300 feet from the tee. Three (362 feet) has you throwing slightly downhill with the creek close left and tree/bushes guarding the approach on the right side of the basket. Holes 7-9 all play with the creek right of an open fairway.
-- Restrooms at parking lot.

Cons:

-- No map on site.
-- No tee signs. You've got tall, yellow metal poles with hole number. That's it.
-- No disc golf specific seating, but No. 1 has a picnic table next to the tee; five has a bench on the walking path at the tee; six has a pavilion near the tee.
-- Hole 5 has some danger. A picnic table just short and right of the basket is definitely an issue as is a walking path not far behind the basket.

Other Thoughts:

-- Course starts with the easiest and shortest hole (132 feet). There are trees to navigate, but there is no way any experienced player will be happy with a 3. Then you get to the longest (405) and most-difficult hole.
-- As a low intermediate player, I expect to shoot under par but never do. This isn't any kind of destination course, but it serves its purpose to allow for a relaxed round with some excellent birdie chances. It also is a great alternative when nearby 18-hole courses (Audubon, Paschall) are too crowded or wet.
-- The walk from 7 to 8 has you right next to a major road with no space between the sidewalk and the road. A similar walk is required from 9 to 1.
-- Maintenance is likely a mixed bag. Holes 1-7 play in a part of the park with a walking path and other activities and seems to get mowed regularly. Holes 8-9 don't have any other activities, and don't seem to get much attention.
-- Other than the water, disc loss potential is low.

On A Slow Decline 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 6, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

(1.703 Rating) A small footprint city park 9, not getting the love it probably once did.
- TEES - DeBusk Park starts off on the right foot. Large 6 foot by 12 foot concrete tees that are on every hole, except hole (8). Hole (8) tee I would assume use to have a tee, but it has been temporarily removed due to utility work. Who knows if the park will pour it back after the utility work is complete.
- CHAINS - Hooray for DISCatchers. A few were showing some rust, but I'd take a bit of rust over new baskets from a bunch of other brands.
- QUICK PLAY - I did my round in 35 minutes. It should have been quicker, but I didn't download the course map and I walked and threw hole (7) after finishing (2) by mistake. With a download of the course map, a first timer should have this one done in 30 minutes. Groups of four should be complete in 50 minutes.

Cons:

This course needs some attention.
- MISSING SIGNAGE - The pictures of the tee signage on DGCR no longer exist on location. The only remnants are the yellow posts. Someone has sharpied a hole # on the posts. Hole (7) was mislabeled as (3) on my play, but I have corrected it with a sharpie of my own for future travelers. No course map on site either but the one online on DGCR is accurate as of spring 2018.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - At first glance on my arrival, I thought "How nice" only to start traversing the course and realize all the glaring eyesores. The creek is great and awful depending on where you stand. The creek is 20 feet wide and gouges 10 feet down into the landscape. At the base is a bunch of dirty sand, concrete chunks and gravel stones. There are concrete flood control structures in view. Trash is everywhere along the edges and the water looks polluted as well. In addition, on my play there was a 3 foot wide black rubber looking pipe strewn on the ground along the entire length of Hole (8) and (9).
- WATER HAZARDS - A legit water hazard on (2), (3), (7), (8) and (9). The creek level was fairly low, but from experience I know this is not the type of course to go throw right after a heavy rain.
- CHARACTER - Other than adequate baskets and nice tees, the course related extras and amenities are mostly absent. No multi tees, practice basket or alternate basket locations. Only one tee had seating and as mentioned above, no signage. There are however nice park related amenities, such as shelters, restrooms and picnic tables.
- UNIQUENESS - Well below average across all courses but just above average among 9 hole courses. As mentioned, there's a creek in play on many holes. It's the perfect size IMO, as its large enough to affect my game plan but small enough to reel in a disc with a retriever. There are a couple of moderately wooded plays but its generally lightly wooded or open. Elevation is minor. Maybe 10 feet of change on a couple holes. Holes (8) and (9) both play parallel along the sloping elevation of the creek's valley. All par 3s, but three holes play around 350 to 400 feet long.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - I'm not really sure who this course appeals too. Too small of footprint for skilled veterans and too much water for novice and beginning players.

Other Thoughts:

What was once probably a very serviceable 9 holer, has now downgraded a bit due to signage, construction and pollution. If I lived in the neighborhood I might be here on a weekly basis, but I just can't image anyone else in the DWF area coming to play here more than once, and only if they are a serious course bagger.
- CHALLENGING - About average compared to 274 courses I've played as of this review. I have that the average difficulty of a course will have 900 rated players averaging 2 down over 18 holes. Thus at DeBusk, I think a 900 rated player will average 1 down.

A good entry level course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 23, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

The tee pads are super big and offer the player the proper run up. The course flows logically and rounds should play quickly here. There are directional arrows to assist your navigation. This is a nice beginner level course with a good mix of short and moderate length holes.
There is a nice bridge to assist in the crossing of the ditch/creek between 2 and 3. The course was well maintained and there were other amenities on both sides of the course.
Hole observations:
1-short with a low ceiling-ACE RUN FUN
2-moderate length and has a ditch on the right hand side to throw over with the basket on a bit of an island
3-moderate length with a grove of trees on the right hand side
4-basket is out in the open
5-uphill shot with moderate length and a few trees on the left hand side of the fairway upon approach
6-downhill shorter length shot
7-9 were basically the same shots being moderate in length and open with the ditch/creek on the right hand side of the fairway

Cons:

Some of the walks between holes are a bit lengthy-see holes 2 to 3, and 7to 8, and 9 to the parking lot.
Grass was thick and needing a mowing on holes 8 and 9.
The hard pack can get slick around the baskets, possibly some wood chips might help with grip here.
The walking paths could come into play so be aware before you throw.
No signage-just poles with numbers on some. Looks like the signage has been stolen??
Some fairways, like 3 and 4, can hold water.

Other Thoughts:

This is a pretty good 9 hole course that has some fun shots and some moderate length. Its a good entry level course that will challenge new players and will give them a good look at birdies or possible an ACE on a few holes. Its not a technical course by any means so if you are looking for that you will have to move on down the road. It is however a decent park style 9 that most players will enjoy. If you are needing a warm up before you go to Paschall or you just want to get in a quick 9 then hit this one up.

Great little 9 hole course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 2, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice use of the land available in a well maintained city park. Hole 1 gives an awesome 130ft Ace opportunity/ almost guaranteed birdie to boost your confidence before the complete change up on number 2's 400+ ft pin location!

Good tees and baskets all throughout. Great use of what terrain is available in the park.

Cons:

Vandals have stolen all the tee signs. So it was a little confusing trying to find 3.

There is a great jungle gym, and wooden castle play area that will undoubtedly attract a lot of small children. One of the baskets, I believe it was 5, sits near the bathroom and I found myself a little worried about hitting kids as they kept running in and out of my field if view around the basket.

There is not a ton of challenge here. I finished -3 first time here. Although, there are plenty of courses nearby to make this a destination location.

Other Thoughts:

Since Paschall Park is about 4 minutes away, you might as well play this course when you head into town to throw out at Paschall. I enjoyed it, as an additional destination on my Paschall trip.

There are another 3 courses within 15 minutes as well. So you shouldn't have any trouble getting your DG fill.

Good and Bad 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

Nice 9 hole course
Park is kept clean
Bathrooms
Concrete Tees
Water Fountains

Cons:

Course can get crowded with park goers making it unplayable and have actually seen people try to use baskets as BBQ's.

Open holes not much to avoid, straight forward.

Giant deep creek that runs through it eats new players lol.

Other Thoughts:

This is a good fast 9 holes course that is kept nice and clean, on the weekends don't even think about playing it though park goers make a game impossible.

Hole 1 - Very short ace-able hole requiring a slight anhyzer to avoid a tree to the right of the tee.

Hole 2 - Huge open shot next to the creek that runs through the course and over a ditch, by far best hole of the course.

Hole 3 - Nice open shot with a drop off to the creek to the left and a big cluster of trees to the right near the basket. On a side note beware of picnickers, seems like a popular spot.

Hole 4 - More or less a open straight shot with one big tree to the right that will block most hyzers.

Hole 5 - Just a big open field throw, careful of kids playing in the park though, they tend to play around this basket a lot.

Hole 6 - This is a cool hole, the tee is at the top of a hill that give you tons of free glide for a good ace run at the basket.

Hole 7 - Big open straight shot with creek on the right of you.

Hole 8 - Big open straight shot with the basket a little bit to the left on a hill, creek runs along the right side.

Hole 9 - Same as 8, big straight open shot.

Cool course, if you are in the area stop by and play around its worth the time! And when you are done here Paschall is right down the road.

Worth a try 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 20, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well maintained park/course. Offers decent variety of hole distance with hardly any trees. Seems to play more favorable for right-handed backhanders.

Cons:

The course mostly meanders along a giant canyon of a creek in the middle of the park which was busy with players retreiving their discs both times I played. Not real challenging in terms of hole creativity as it lacks the occasional enjoyed obstacle that trees sometimes create.

Other Thoughts:

Located within a few miles of 3 or 4 other nice courses, so if you want to make a day of playing DG at different places... definitely include this one!

I wish all courses were this nice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 20, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The park is extremely nice, and although only 9 holes, the layout makes use of the available space well. Holes are short but fun, which makes for quick, enjoyable play. Bathrooms at both ends of the park and plenty of pavilion space and playground if you wanted to bring the whole family. It's also right off the freeway so it's a convenient stop.

Cons:

There were no signs. The layout is simple enough to learn after one play through, but mistaking 7 for 3 would be pretty easy to do for first timers. At least a course map online would be helpful.

Other Thoughts:

Additional footbridges after 7 and 9 would be nice, but the sidewalk along the roads are easily accessible.

Nice easy play. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 12, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Tee pads are great, grounds are great, nice markers, beautiful park,

Cons:

Hole one. Pretty much the whole thing. The pad is 90% covered in dirt and is an easy birdie. I had a couple of rollers that got me in trouble. I was able to recover all disc but it did slow us way down.

Other Thoughts:

Great park near by so bring the family! We usually just play this twice to make our 18, hole 3 is a perfect example of what a hole should be.

All around good. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 15, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

overall a nice 9 hole course... see my complete review in the other thoughts box. Easy layout to follow. Nice tee pads. clean park.

Cons:

Tee and hole optons might be nice.

Other Thoughts:

This is my disc golf course rating system. Each element of the course is worth ½ disc for a total of 10, ½ disc units or 5 full discs of rating.
My 10 categories are:
1. Quality of tee pads.
2. Quality of signage, both individual hole signs as well as a sign board and course layout at the hole one beginning location.
3. Course amenities. Benches at tees, garbage cans on course, disc bag posts/hooks, next tee arrows, etc.
4. Overall park amenities. Things like bathrooms, drinking fountains, playground areas, anything that improves the overall location.
5. Overall use of available terrain features. How well did the designers use what they had to work with?
6. Changes in elevation. Some courses have this occurring naturally. Others have created it. Either way it is vital that a good course is beyond flat... even in Iowa or Nebraska.
7. Variety of hole length. Is it mixed up? Some long, some short. Keep things interesting.
8. Tee and basket options. Are there tee options and/or alternate basket locations? Can the course be played different on different visits?
9. Signature hole? Is there one hole in specific that leaves an impression? Creates a unique memory?
10. Fun Factor - Purely subjective on my part. Did I have fun?

DeBusk park, Mesquite, TX

1. Yes. Good tee pads.
2. Yes. Good signage on posts. No main map. Next tee indicators on baskets. Easy to navigate course. Transition from 2 to 3 was easy to mess up... went to pad for 6, but was corrected fast
3. No. Park amenities are good, but course specific amenities are absent.
4. Yes. Overall nice clean park. Benches, BBQ grills, playground equipment, bathrooms, water fountain.
5. Yes. Quite well done here. Nice use of the creek and tree areas. All water plays on the right ('cept 3 but water is quite far left) which is ideal for classic RHBH throwers. I get the water willies easy and this course's water was not intimidating.
6. Yes. Existing elevation and terrain is incorporated well into course layout.
7. Yes. Some longer, some shorter. No real "big arm" stuff here, but a good mix is offered.
8. No. No tee or basket choices are offered.
9. Yes. I would designate #2 as a signature hole here... it has it all. Water, elevation, lay-up options, overall view of the park. Just a nicely done DG hole.
10. Yes. I had fun. This was my first course of the day and was a nice way to kick off a 3 course day

Reviewed: Played on:May 4, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great short course. Clean, open and neat layout. Hole two is a good one to try your distance arm on. All holes are marked clearly and you can't miss where the next hole is. Good course for beginners or just to kill some time.

Cons:

Hole one is the shorts hole and has a patch of trees on either side. Few water hazzards, tall grass near the creek makes it easy to lose a disc if you aren't carefull.

Nice quick round 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 19, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Clean park. Beginner friendly. Big yellow posts with red top make it where you don't need next Tee signs. Nice disc catchers. Enough parking. Hole 1 is the most technical hole as it has more trees than most of the others. Great place to bring your practice basket and make up your own shots, mainly because there are some hills from which to launch that were not used in the design. Some were, just not all. Big mean drainage ditch/creek. Discs are retrievable but it is pretty steep in a couple of spots. Wind can add challenge as it is a pretty wide open course except for a few pockets of trees. Hole 2 used the creek nicely. It is about 300 ft. to the pin with the creek about 240. Which leaves us noodle arms with a question of strategery. Pros would consider it another ace run and just park it. Great practice course or place to play your 1st round because of the lack of trees and deep water hazards.

Cons:

People everywhere, 1st day of spring may have played a role. The design could have been better IMO, the hills would have been fun to launch off of. Just nitpicking. For what this park is, there isn't too many cons. Just few design tweaks would suit me. Of course there is the safety issue and that is because they put a disc golf course in a busy park, so no big surprise. We are used to sharing these city park type courses with civilians anyways so just watch out for the little ones.

Other Thoughts:

This is a quick round and good practice for whatever shot you need to work on, because it's so open and forgiving of poor 1st shots. If you are close then by all means bag it and porter park is only about 4 miles away.

Another nice 9 hole course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 29, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is really well maintained and has a winding, treeless creek that runs through the course. There is almost no chance that you will ever be in the trees on this course (slight chance on hole #2). Great tee pads and disc catchers.

Cons:

Hole number 1 is very short.

Other Thoughts:

The locals I met said that to make hole #1 more challenging and fun that they park by the Quizno's up on the other side of the creek and throw at the hole from behind the shopping center- there is a big utility box and about 25' of concrete and it does make this hole way more fun, just watch out if you are a righty and you throw a hyzer from way up there. Hole number 9 ends right there as well so when you're finished you can just go to your car without having to deal with the bridge again.

Another mesquite 9-holer 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 14, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a fairly fun course set in a family environment.For a nine hole there is a good variety of hole length ranging from 132ft to 405ft with a little elevation on s couple holes.Holes 2.3.4.7.8&9 all boarder the creek in some way,which could also be a con for beginners.

There are restrooms and water fountains located near hole #1 and #5.Also trash cans throughout the park.

Cons:

HOLES #8&#9 ARE THE SAME HOLE BACK TO BACK.
To get form 7 to 8 and 9 to 1 you must walk next to busy streets to cross the creek.

There is no shot variety at all, every hole is a strait shot down an open fairway.

Other Thoughts:

There are two playgrounds on either side of the park, and walking trails throughout the park making this a great place to bring the family.

I was amazed 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 18, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

I rated this one pretty high. I like a fun course, that still challenges me enough not to get bored. This course was the perfect blend. Some good length, they really used the creek bed well. Hole 2, wow, I just really loved this hole. This park was very nice, well groomed short grass. Every tee box is marked with a tall yellow pole, very easy to see, weather the sign is intact or not. Concrete tee boxes are here, which I'm more and more a fan of.

Cons:

The walking trails criss-cross all over the course, we weren't there at a peak time, so not an issue, but on the weekend this could really suck. Hole one was really, really short. Several tee signs missing or in the process of breaking off.

Other Thoughts:

So I can see why this course gets lower ratings. Several holes are defiantly easy. I rate courses on quality and fun. I played this the same day I played Lake Lewisville and Northlake Park, and really I had the most fun here. It was the cleanest park as well.

A Cup Of Decaf 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 17, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a fair-minded neighborhood 9-holer. It has a creek that runs along a couple of holes. The signs are excellent and the park seems to be well maintained. The cement tee pads are in great shape and the course is not that difficult to follow. There was a restroom and drinking fountain on site.

Cons:

There does seem to be a good number of walkers, so the safety dance is in play here. Most every hole is a straightaway. Most of the holes and pin placements were out in the open with little creativity. There was lots of trash on the course and very few trashcans.

Other Thoughts:

The fun factor here was just OK. Maybe the birdie hole #1 was about the only thrill I got playing here. Sadly, I doubt I will head back to play this one again. So, to reflect the title of this review, it is a plain layout without much kick to it.

Fun for all 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

The city always does a great job for making courses and keeping them well kept.
Great for Right Handed Side Arm throwers and for Lefties!
I have never played it when it was crowded. This could be a great place to let the kids and wife hangout on the playground equipment while you squeeze 9 holes in under an hour. Even though it has little shot variety, it has a few holes that make it worth playing.
Top 3 holes.

#2 Is the best hole on the course. You have to either throw short of the creek or cross over a creek that cuts in the fairway. A stream also flows on the right of this hole and could eat some discs. Also play the concrete OB.

#3 This hole along with 2 or the top holes to play. Good shots are a must, but even a beginner can handle it. Very balanced.

#7 Longer in comparison to the others on the course. Roughly wide open but the creek will come into play. Big arms will have no problem making a 2 or a 3.

For only 9 holes it is a fun little course and worth playing.

Cons:

#8 & 9 seem like the same hole played twice.

#1 is very short...too short.

No bridge to cross over the #8 or back to #1. You have to walk right by the road, and if you have kids this can be scary.

Won't affect play but some of the tee signs are missing or vandalized.

Other Thoughts:

If you live in the area this would be a nice course to come to after work. Just lacking a few things but it does compare well to the others in the area.

Nice Neighborhood Park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

A nice neighborhood 9-hole course with quality concrete tees, Discatcher Pro baskets, and high visibility descriptive tee signs. This is an excellent model of how an introductory course should be equipped. The tee signs give directions to the next tee when necessary. There are restroom facilities and a water fountain by hole #1. Speaking of which... hole #1 sets a deceptive tone by starting you with an easy 132' birdie hole. Then it unleashes hole #2: a 405' hole with the creek looming on the right, and hole #3 a 362' downhill bomb with the creek on the left this time. Those are the best two holes on the course. The navigation is easy especially if you read the tip on the #2 tee sign for how to get to #3. There's some decent elevation changes in this little course too.

Cons:

The placard on the #3 tee sign is missing. There's a walking/jogging trail weaving through the park so you need to be aware of pedestrians and other park patrons possibly playing in fairways. The course finishes with a couple lackluster holes that are almost identical shots with the baskets parked on the side of a slight hill.

Other Thoughts:

There are water hazards but most are pretty easy to avoid with a conservative throw (#3 is the most risky for RHBH). There are some reviews mentioning the desire for foot bridges. There are already two street bridges that are only a minor bit out of the way to get from one hole to the next, or back to the parking lot. Adding foot bridges would be very costly and aren't really necessary. This is a good starter course and even up to a low intermediate course but advanced and pros are gonna be bored.
