They are nice. Hole 4 is a bish tho.

Agreed.

SH needed work the one time I played it. It was apparent some pins had been moved but no work had been done around the green, I think it was hole 4. I was about 6' past it on the drive and had no shot for bird because of the schule. I couldn't even get to a legal stance. I didn't play both sets of tees but walked over and checked out the shot from the new locations. I belive SH has an unfairly inflated rating on this site. It is sitting around 13th place for DFW courses and I would put it around 20th.

I hate to be critical of IMO course design because Brandon has taken it as an attack on him personally, and it is unfair because he puts a lot of time into getting courses in, possibly more effort than anyone else in DFW.

Princeton Tx..new course is getting close to opening..installing sleeves today and tomorrow.

I think it is a 9 hole beginner friendly course.

Talked to Kennedale parks project manager for the 9 hole course in Sonora Park they are putting in about walking the park next week. I will have more info next week after the meeting. On a side note they have received negative comments about disc golf before it was even put in. Heard on comment was that disc golf is no longer popular and on the decline. So any positive feedback about disc golf would be nice. The City wants a tourney of some sort out there to get people involved. I will know more next week and will post. I would also like to thank Brandon fron IOM and David Teague from funky town for coming out a while back to walk the course.

Let me know who to lobby.

possibly due to the time change and onset of colder weahter?

what an odd comment

I would start with Mr. Hoover as he was my first point of contact with the city. I now deal with the project manager for this project.

He would probably be a good starting point.

This was a comment made to the city council possibly because this individual wanted money alloted to something else so by slaming one they hoped to get another in its place. I have a picture of the park but dont know how to post message me your email if you can post/host

that green is pretty rough. not even a fair line to the new pin location if you're in the middle of the clearing. i do like that hole though.

i'm surprised it hasn't been addressed already since it always seems like so much other work is getting done on the course. at the same time, the course is still less than a year old.

i haven't looked at the "ranking" but 3.5 seems like a pretty fair rating for SH to me. maybe others are underrated?
