Pros:
Out of all the abandoned neighborhood courses I've played in Houston (3 I think?) this one is my favorite. It's less spooky than White Oak, there are still a couple houses that I guess decided not to sell and live in the flood plain till their place gets destroyed, and there are more trees and less trash than the others.
The holes are all a pretty comfortable length, to very lengthy par 4 or 5. No one is going to come out and here and feel like they never got a chance to throw hard. There was some great integration of the roads, offering some risk/reward shots, like water hazards you can skip off. I think there may have been one or two where I was like, "Huh, this might be asking a bit much," if the gap was sharp, or small, or just around a large bushy tree or something. But overall pretty good
Navigation, I'm not sure if I can comment on. I had a local guide (c_a_miller) who knew his way around, but I did notice the spray paint on the basket cage in the direction of the next tee. I feel like I could have done it on my own with just a little effort.
Tees were natural, marked with bricks or stone. Maybe posts. Honestly if I can't remember now, they weren't great but weren't bad either.
I do remember the baskets. They were good. Not shiny new, but got the job done. A mix of different models, cannibalized from other retired courses. They had all their chains, weren't damaged, and if I threw at them they caught the disc. That's all I can ask.
Cons:
I mean there was nothing particularly wowing about this course. The tees could've been better.
I would normally knock a course for throwing over the road so much but this place is so abandoned it really is more of a feature.
there's not much I can really ding this course for, other than it's blatant averageness.
Other Thoughts:
It's worth playing a round here. There are some parts that make you go "oh cool!" and some parts that make you go, "yeah, that makes sense." but nothing that makes you go "wtf" or "WOW AMAZING!" It's not beautiful, but it's not ugly. It's not easy, but it's not overly challenging. Honestly I almost think this could be the course all courses are judged by for whether they are better or worse than average.
It really is a good course. It's really not a bad course. I just can't find any compelling reason to rate it higher, or any fault big enough to rate it lower. It's like a good bowl of cereal- you know what you like about it, but you're not going to brag about it later.
