Scenic fairways are the star of this clean park style course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 3, 2022 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Concrete teepads, simple tee signs, practice basket. Good course flow and quick pace of play. Well defined fairways with small hills and tree line. Good use of hills, trees, brush, water and bike path to create challenge and fun. Hole variety includes open sub 200 footers to dogleg par 4's.
High fun factor.

Cons:

4 holes are 200 feet and wide open and filler in nature.
Susceptible to high winds due to mostly open landscape.
Multiple low spots that hold water extensively after rains.

Other Thoughts:

Zube Park DGC is a well done park style course that is set up in a dedicated section of a large multipurpose park.
The small hillsides and pine tree lines make well defined fairways that are aesthetically pleasing as well as effective in separating holes, if at the expense of low overall difficulty.
The course sets up well as a spot for casual play to enjoy round(s) with a low likelihood of losing plastic. There is just enough variety and challenge to be accessible and enjoyable for players of all levels.

Nice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 15, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tees. Tea signs with distance. Good placement of tea boxes a fair amount of obstacles. Short holes to give yourself a chance to go negative. A mix of wooded and open holes. Nice grassy fairways with some mud puddles .challenging. I always like a disc golf course where it starts at the parking lot and ends at the parking lot

Cons:

A couple holes are missing the distance. There really should be a course map in the beginning of the course Because it would be nice to see the course layout before you played it if you're a first timer here. And there is no link on this site on this course for a map ....most courses have a link to the map so if there is not a course map in the beginning of the course you can look on this site to find out The layout of the course in my opinion there isn't many cons or anything negative to say about this course for the first time playing it I liked it ,, it was moderately easy the first long hole says it's a par three it should be a par four because it's 500 and something feet anything over 500 feet should be a par four

Other Thoughts:

The park offers a kids park in the front and bathrooms in the front also the walkway around the whole park is a plus if if you have family they could come there play at the park and walk around the park while you and your friends play the course also there is plenty of park benches to take a break if you need one on a hot day I think they can make another course at this park there is allot of room for improvement

Decent Course in the Houston Suburbs 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 10, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Zube Park is a very active park in Hockley, TX with bike trails, soccer fields, playgrounds etc. The disc golf course is placed in the back of the park with very little interference from the other park go-ers minus a single walking trail that passes through it. (No holes throw over the walking trail, which is good)

There are ample sized concrete tees, brand new Chainstar baskets, and small tee signs that have the distances on them. Navigations is also fairly straight forward minus finding the basket on hole 1 and locating the tee for hole 2.

I really enjoyed the wide variety of hole lengths that this course had to offer. A few of the holes were short ~200' holes where you need to get your "2" while others stretched near the 700' range where a "3" would be a solid score. Hole 10 is a notable favorite of mine as it is a short enough water carry that it should be an easy throw for even the most novice player, but it still can feel intimidating stepping up to the box.

Holes 15-18 were fun because they were the only true holes on the course that I felt had any kind of true technical aspect where you need to navigate a large number of trees to have a chance at a birdie.

Cons:

Although I enjoyed the variety of the hole lengths, I did not enjoy the actual hole varieties. Minus about 6 holes, most of the holes were pretty straight forward with very little obstacles or shot shaping involved. Not too many holes stuck out to me as really rememberable holes besides Hole 10, which i mentioned earlier.

The fairways on some of the holes play pretty close together. The most egregious example of this is hole 11, which is the longest hole on the course plays very close to hole 12 and hole 3 fairways. In fact, I ended up right next to basket 12 after my first throw (then proceeded to almost black ace on accident) I played when there were not too many folks out on the course, and I am not sure how many people do get out of here, but it is definitely something to keep in mind.

Other Thoughts:

I think this course will only continue to get better as the young trees grow and will shape the fairways more. I think a good comparison to this course is Agnes Moffit, this course has a little bit more distance to it though.

I didn't hate this course and think that it is done well considering the land that it was on. It is a bit out of the way for most people living in the Metro Houston area as it is outside of Houston's third loop, but it still is a good, solid course that can be knocked out fairly quickly.

Good course for an enjoyable round 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 6, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

It's clear this course was intentionally designed to be a disc golf course and not a course put in sometime later. It features shaped fairways with small mounds dividing adjacent fairways. A nice mixture of straight holes, and dog legs to either direction. Most of the holes are somewhat short, but there are a few longer ones as well. And, while the course is mostly open, there are a few holes requiring some touch. Overall, it provides an enjoyable round and is not too challenging.

Cons:

Because there is no course map yet, it's a little confusing to follow at first. The first tee is under the power lines at the south end of the back parking lot. The second tee is behind and to the right of the first basket. From there it gets easier to follow, but still gets confusing at times.
- Several of the tee pads don't directly point at the basket you're shooting at. The first tee box especially.
- The grass isn't fully grown in and this place would get very muddy following a good rain.

Other Thoughts:

While this course seems to be finished, it still has a ways to go to be complete. The grass is not yet grown in and many of the trees are freshly planted, meaning they are still fairly small. Once this course is allowed to "mature" for a couple of years and the trees grow up some, it will add just the right level of challenge that this course needs. I could see this becoming my favorite course in the Houston are eventually.

New course is open! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 18, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Course layout is easy to follow
-Mostly wide open holes, new small trees are planted all around but rarely come in play , but holes 5,6,7,17,18 use some of the old growth and are a little more technically difficult
-Hole 10 is a nice over water shot, but I think they missed a chance to make a sweet island/peninsula hole with the water

Cons:

-Several holes are extremely straight forward, even for an inexperienced player like me, stepping up to #4,6,7,13,15,16 that are all 201-244 ft with nothing in the way I'm licking my chops for a lucky ace or easy birdie
-There is a running path that goes all around the course that was being used quite a bit when I played, it comes into play on 2-3 holes and you may have to wait a bit to throw. I also had some "generous" people pick up my discs near the path and return them to me as I was walking to it

Other Thoughts:

I haven't written a review before, and will leave the technical review of the course to a more experienced player that comes along, but wanted to let you guys know that the baskets are in the ground and the course is open. There are a few construction signs still up, but I talked to the cop monitoring the park and he said it is ok to play. The course is brand new and still mostly dirt from construction.

No course map available yet, but Tee Box #1 is next to the power line structure at the south end of the parking lot and the basket is off to the right (this is the only tee pad that is really facing a weird angle). The rest of the holes are fairly easy to find from the baskets, each basket is labeled with the hole number.
