Comanche DGC

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 24, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Good land for disc golf. There isn't much elevation, but what is there is well used. No holes are heavily wooded, but plenty are moderately wooded or use guardian trees. There is no water carry, but the creek is in play on 14 of 18 holes. That creek was dry in some spots in July 2024.
-- Best holes are 5, 7, 14 and 16. Five is 490 feet straight for about 300 feet and through a tree line before a gentle left turn toward the basket. The problem is that without any sort of map on the tee sign, you don't even know which way to throw. You are throwing a little bit left across the edge of the creek bed, but with the distance you couldn't see the basket no matter what direction, so you are left to figure it out on your own. Seven is a fun short hole, 175 feet. The basket has guardian trees and sits on ground that slopes down toward the creek 20 feet left. Fourteen is 405 feet from a slightly elevated tee. You throw over a park road and have to navigate through a tree line to reach an open field. The basket sits near the creek. Sixteen is another fun short hole at 209 feet. It's uphill off the tee, through a fairly narrow gap in the trees and across the creek to a basket on the edge of a slope. A beautiful Texas-shaped flower garden sits just below the basket, although nothing was growing in the July heat when I played.
-- Navigation is mostly easy, with one exception (see Cons). Most tees are visible from the preceding basket.
-- Restrooms.
-- Water (spigots at RV parking spots throughout the course).
-- Practice basket.
-- Concrete tee pads, 3½ by 10.
-- Wildlife. I saw a family of seven deer run out of the woods near the No. 4 basket. I saw some of those same deer – at least I assume they were the same deer – two other times on the course as we both followed the creek.

Cons:

-- LONG undersells the walk from 9 to 10. My guess is that it is nearly half a mile. The course opened as a 9-holer, and 9 more holes were added a year or two later. You have two signs to point you in the right direction, but it would be easy to not make it all the way to No. 10. You walk down into the creek bed and back up. If there is much water in the creek, this crossing might be sketch. You use the same crossing 17-18. You've also got a long walk 14-15. That doesn't appear to be the designer's fault; a bridge that would have given you a direct path is there but chained off and marked Do Not Enter.
-- Once you get to 15, you are treated to a mando for design purposes. I am not a fan.
-- Poor tee signs. The hole number is fairly large, but the only other information is the par and distance. There is no map or hole design.
-- Eleven and 12 seem like filler holes. At 293 feet and 362 feet, neither is really long and both are open-field shots. Each has a guardian tree, but that is the only challenge. Thirteen (263 feet) is almost in the category, but a drop-off to the creek 15 feet left and 30-foot behind the basket adds some interest/challenge.

Other Thoughts:

-- Multi-use park with walking path, swimming pool, playground equipment, ballfields, picnic tables and RV spots. Those things provide non disc golfers with you something to do, but they also mean there is a good chance you will run into conflicts.
-- Baskets are Mach V. They catch OK, but the gray color doesn't help you pick them out in the distance.

Fun Creative Park Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 3, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice park with mature trees and good use of elevation and topography, including drop-offs near the creek
Good variety of shot shapes and distances
Well-marked natural tees that seemed to be in good shape
Quality DGA baskets, including a practice basket near hole one's tee
Navigation is intuitive except for one long walk that is marked with signage
A couple of creative holes that require two shot planning
Creative Texas-shaped landscaping feature on hole 16 is a nice touch
Other amenities throughout the park

Cons:

Two of the most interesting holes, 14 and 15, also require throws over the park road. I waited for cars to pass on both holes.
Creek crossing between holes 9 and 10 and during the play of hole 16 would be difficult in wet weather or with lots of recent rain.
Several of the holes on the back nine are just straight drives to a basket near a tree or two.

Other Thoughts:

This is city park golf done well. The course uses the park well and provides a good variety of challenges. I would definitely suggest a stop here if you are driving through town.

Nice older park course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 16, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Signs on every hole. Each hole has a native name matching the city. Nice mature park with huge trees for shade and wind block. They make you cross a nice creek and make good use of it. Also make you cross some old bridges that are awesome. The back 9 uses the few trees really well. Fair but great use of the trees. Variety of shots. Long short left right. Some elevation changes on the back 9 as well

Cons:

No pads(not an issue for most) The walk from 9 to 10 is a quarter of a mile just follow the sign. if it rains some holes over the creek maybe hard to navigate.

Other Thoughts:

The front 9 is along a creek pretty normal. but I found the back 9 to be very enjoyable.
