Great park. Lots of variety of shots and elevation mixed in. Good shot shaping for lefties or righties, FH, BH, overhand. Lots of OB when you include the sidewalks mandos added in.

Holes 1-3 great RHFH or touch RHBH shots with the creek on the left of all three holes. Side slope of the hill going toward creek has great roll away and OB potential. 15 foot putts can turn into 90 foot uphills really easy.

Hole 4 is an uphill beast with the trees in the fairway. Then coming right back downhill on number 5. Hole 5 can be played as a big RHBH spiking shot, or as a straight fairway/midrange. That creek sneaks back up on you again.

Back nine starts getting into the trees. The length and elevation of the front nine is offset with the trees and tighter lines of the back nine.

Park amenities are amazing. Great restrooms that are well maintained. Trash is maintained by the city. Grass is well manicured and this will be one of the best kept parks in the North Dallas area.

Greatest pro for me is proximity. This course is 10 min from the casa with hitting the traffic light.

There are a few issues since this is a public park and used by many different people for different activities. Sidewalks are in constant play on a majority of the holes, however this is the case at many disc golf courses. Players just need to be aware of walkers and not get in to much of a hurry.

Like many courses this one is in low level lands and can get a little wet after a good rain or two. Only a couple of spots where there is large standing water areas though.

Hole 9 and hole 15 seem to be filler holes. Hole 9 is a longer hole however it just seems that it is a hole to get you from 8-10. 8 is a fun big BH turnover or FH hole. Hole 10 has a lot of fun options from a open to playing into tons of trees to work around. Same for hole 15, this just seems to be a point in the course where another hole was needed. I would rather see hole 14 be lengthened on the box and at the pin to make another par 4, and then put hole 15 on the other side of the sidewalk and lengthen 15 out just a bit.

And hole 18 is the worst hole of the course. 700+ foot hole sounds great, except it throws straight through the center of the biggest plot of grass and land on the course, oh and let's add a mando.... Playing there 7 times, I have only been able to play 18 in it's entirety 3 times. Too many people in the way or just unsafe to be able to play it all the way through. This would be a better change to make this a long par three from closer to the mando, or change hole nine and use the current hole nine teebox as the hole 18 teebox.

Needed a better way across the creek on hole 5, however in the last week or so the city is correcting this issue.

The baskets needed to be built and installed by disc golfers. Pretty sure the city built them and installed. A couple of the baskets are still loose, and some of the bottom rings were installed upside down (however I think those were corrected).

I really like this course and this park. I have played multiple times here and continue to have a fun each time. Love the elevation on 2-5, something that we do not get enough of in DFW. Adding in the trees on the back nine make this fun to play with people that cannot throw straight lines.

My son runs here during the summer and I look forward to joining him this summer coming up. He can run and I can throw everyday.

Also this is the location for the Richardson Corporate Challenge. The course has been a temporary course the last few years but having a permanent course going forward will be a blessing.

Hoping that the success on this course will lead into another possible course in the park. Or at worse case, another course in the Richardson area.

-interesting topography with minor elevation, creeks, and lots of mature trees
-nice concrete tees, blue veteran baskets, fairly detailed signs, practice basket
-some fun holes that require accurate lines and angle control
-restrooms and pavilions next to the ample parking lot

-i felt like the distances were shorter than listed on holes 1, 2, 3, & 7 and longer than listed on hole 9
-not a fan of mandos in general and i really didn't like them on holes 12 and 15
-speaking of hole 15, it sucks. hard.
-walking/running paths are potentially in play on most holes, picnic tables in play on some holes, fire pit in play on hole 12
-currently no bridge to cross the creek on hole 5 but it looks like prep has already started to build one

Breckenridge Park is a huge 417 acre park with a bunch of sports fields and miles of walking trails. The disc golf course is at the south end of the park plays through an area with two creeks, many mature trees (throughout but particularly in the middle of the course), and mild elevation changes (primarily on the first 5 holes) but also heavily trafficked paved walking paths. The equipment is brand new and quality but the signs seem a bit off on the distances and line descriptions.

I liked the way the course starts off: slightly longer open holes with a creek in play parallel to the fairways which slope downward toward the creek. Whether it is your drive or your upshot, you need to control the landing angle so you don't roll down the hill, particularly on hole 2. Hole 4 plays away from the creek, slightly uphill but with a low ceiling. Then hole 5 (one of the standouts, i thought) throws slightly downhill crossing the walking path and creek to a small peninsula with a tree line and then a creek behind the basket.

Mandos start to come into the picture on hole 8 and this is where I began questioning a number of the design choices. In this case I guess it's trying to keep drives out of hole 7's fairway but I couldn't help but think a different tee position and maybe a different basket position would be a better solution. Then hole 9 is around 450' completely wide open. Hole 12 has a weird mando and weird fairway but a cool green area with curved trees. Hole 13 has a fire pit, a walking path, and a picnic table with a grill in the fairway. Hole 15 is a stupid little mando left to right. Hole 18 has 500' of open field before you get the interesting tree-protected green, narrowing between an OB path and a building. It's easy to say "I would have done it differently and it would be better" but I really think this land has the potential for a much better back 9.

I'm not sure if this course is trying to be a pretty tough white level course or a fairly easy blue level course. I'm curious if the future holds some alternate tees and/or basket positions. It's a good course as it is but I think the land is better than the course. This part of town has a dearth of good course so it's nice to see this one in the ground but I have to disagree with the assessment that it is a standout course in DFW. It's fun and I will be back for sure but it's not on my short list.

-- Excellent tee signs, colorful and information.
-- New Veteran baskets.
-- Large, level cement tee pads
-- Restrooms at parking lot.
-- Elevation and water in play. Many holes throw up hill (including a 726-foot finishing hole with a mando tree in the middle of the fairway), some throw down. And while there is no big water carry, a creek or ditch borders 5 of the first 6 holes. The water danger on 6 is obscured by the tree line on the right, but I pulled a drive over them and lost a disc. Hole 5 has you throwing downhill 278 feet over a tree line and a small creek/ditch to a basket basically on a small peninsula. In addition to actual elevation, small downslopes toward the creek/ditch are well used on somewhat open holes. Nos. 2 and 3 are the best examples.
-- Trees are also well used. Most holes have at least a few, but holes 11-13 are completely wooded.

-- Some tee sign maps aren't accurate; they indicate a straight throw when the basket is well right of straight.
-- No. 9 is boring. It's completely open, 417 feet long.
-- There are safety concerns other than the general walking path. When you walk away from the protected basket 8, you almost enter the 9 fairway. A slightly errant drive could hit you. Hole 13 has a fire pit, a walking path, and a picnic table with a grill in your line. The field part of the fairway on 18 almost always had people there.
-- Hole 15 feels very forced. It's 175 feet, easily the shortest hole on the course with a mando that forces a left to right throw. I hate mandos that are for design, not safety.

-- Long course with six holes longer than 400 feet. However, seven are shorter than 300 feet, so there is good balance. Some of the shorter holes play uphill.
-- This is a BIG park. Directions to the park itself likely won't get you to the disc golf course. Enter from Brand Road to get to the course.
-- For a brand-new course, this is already popular and crowded. On the first weekend it was open, we encountered a group of just about every hole.

Brand new tee signs and baskets
Large cement tee pads
Well manicured park
Lots of large trees on more than 1/2 the course

A few Mando's to force a shot.
Sidewalk comes into play too much. It's a very popular area for walking/jogging
Hole 13 throws over a "fire pit" and close to a picnic table.

Excellent job Eric McCabe on a course well designed for advance players. Yes, the course does have some issues and is not perfect, but then most courses aren't.

The course opened on Thanksgiving day and 2 weeks later and a great weather Sunday afternoon, there were groups on every hole checking out the new course.

The course is park style with many good size trees to throw around or through. A small creek comes into play on 4 of the first 5 holes, In general, the more open the hole was, the longer the hole. The course does have several technical holes though the large grove of trees.

there are several walking/jogging paths that come into play. Mostly they are "sidewalk and across OB" with the exception of hole 5 and 8. Hole 5 is an elevated tee where you throw over the sidewalk and creek.

Holes 8, 12, 15, and 18 all have mando's on them. Mostly to force shots or to help avoid other park users.

Hole 18 is the only par 4 and the longest hole on the course at 726ft. The first tree in the fairway is the mando right, then the course goes up the hill to a grove a tree's with an OB sidewalk on the left hand side of the fairway.

I am going to come right and and say this, hole 15 is the shortest and dumbest hole on the course. It's a "filler" hole with a mando forcing a left to right flight path with the sidewalk to the right. (I just noticed the Tee sign has a typo on it)

Would I play here again? Yes, this ranks up there in the top courses in DFW in my opinion. It's only 20-25min from my house so I think I will be playing it again. If you are limited to what you are playing in the Dallas area, this course should be on your short list.
