The course is brand new and shows attributes of a well-built and well-planned layout. The concrete tee boxes are above grade, large, and properly textured. Signage is clear yet unobtrusive. Course navigation flows intuitively. Interference with park pedestrians and fellow disc golfers is minimal. Ground maintenance is top notch and thankfully appears to be a priority on this property. There is a good mixture of short and long holes. Water hazards are challenging, but not impossible to negotiate. The wind off the bay will make this a thinking-player's course. One mis-step will bump up your score.

This course would benefit from a practice basket. It appears there is plenty of room prior to the first tee box for such a feature. If you are a fan of tight, tunnel shots, you won't have that opportunity to show your skills here. Most drives and approaches are unobstructed as there are not many trees on the course. I'm not sure how the course will fare in the summer. There isn't much to protect players from the sun, but the bay water might keep temperatures from skyrocketing. In any case, be prepared to protect yourself. Time will tell regarding sharing the property with fire ants and mosquitoes -- typical of most courses in this area. A flag was added atop each basket in April 2016. I'm not in favor of anything man-made in the field of play on a disc golf course. While these flags may be useful in gauging the direction and speed of the wind, I suspect they will become faded, tattered, and torn -- future eyesores on what is otherwise a beautiful property.

Update: Within six months, the flag atop each basket was completely shredded to threads. They were all replaced in May 2017.

I found this course to be a delight to play. I am hopeful that it will be well-maintained far into the future. Even though it is located farther away than other area courses, I will make the extra effort to continue to play here on a regular basis. Loud applause to the course designer and others responsible for creating this recreational facility of the city of Texas City, Texas.
