Cement Tee pads and signs for all the holes
Map and directions to hole one at the parking lot
Park is bare, but the course uses what is there.

Not a lot of trees to throw around
LONG walk to hole one, and even longer walk from 15 to 16

This course is a true 3 for me, it is not all that good, but it is not bad either.

The park is located next to a small lake between the Dike and a sea wall. Very little elevation being so close to the bay. It is mostly a hyzer fest.

I do like the finishing 3 holes, although they are far from the rest of the course.
16 is a nice ace run.
17 has danger water on the left side of the basket
18 has you throwing across part of the lake, not the most challenging hole, but fun to throw.

Would I play here again?

Well, Jack Brooks park is not all that far away and it has 2 good courses. I would probably play there instead. So no, will probably never play here again.

1. Easy access to main road
2. Nice layout
3. Well maintained
4. Scenic wildlife views
5. Minimal standing water after rain

1. Water hazards that will devour you discs
2. Long drive from anywhere but Texas City
3. No wind protection
4. Ravenous snapping turtles, if you're made of bread

I started playing this course because my friend is allergic to Jack Brooks park. So far it's pretty good. I like the long holes and intricacies of the course. But it's still not quite like Brooks prime. The transition between some holes on the front nine must be confusing because we frequently see people wondering around like zombies. But there's a sequence to the layout and a nicely posted map so you just have to study it a bit to get it down.

Being a brand new course, the fact that this course already has concrete pads, tee signs, course map and DisCatcher baskets is a sign that there is a group of people that obviously believe in the value that the course can be. The Texas City Parks and Rec department footed the bill for the entire course, which is commendable. In Houston, many courses do not have the luxury of having concrete pads or tee signs without rigorous fundraising.

The course has a wide variety of different shot lengths, from short 190' over water to long 500+' bombs. The few trees that are present on the course provide a bit of challenge compared to just being in an open field.

There are ponds, lakes, and the Galveston Bay that all come into play in very strategic ways. A lot of baskets and tees are perched near water's edge that will require a good shot to avoid getting wet. Like I mentioned before, there a few holes, namely the final three holes, that play around a small lake, and you will have to throw over the water in some respect on all three holes.

This can be both a pro or a con, but the wind is vicious here. On paper, Texas City is a very easy looking course, but with the wind coming off of the bay, this course becomes much more difficult. I had never played in such high wind, and I know overall it was a positive learning experience for myself. The wind definitely will challenge even the better players. With the water throughout the course and the wind, smart shots are needed.

The course is woefully average, when there are not open fields to throw in, there are a few big trees that a big hyzer can overcome. There are no holes that really stick out in my mind as the "signature" hole like there are at others in the City. There are no tight lines to hit, no major wooded areas, no "gimmick" or "tricks" that make this course unique and worth the drive away from Houston to play. This course is not bad; if I lived in the area, I would have no hesitation playing this course on the regular; it is just a simply average course.

When I played here, I thought that this course was a combo of Milby and Moffit, two signature Houston courses. It has the shots of Moffit with a few Milby-like holes and the aesthetics of Milby.

With Jack Brooks only 15 miles away, I would find it hard to convince myself that I should play here rather than there. Like I mentioned before though, I would have no hesitation playing this course if I lived closer. Very average course, but worth playing at least once.
