NASA is great at a lot of other things 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 31, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

I'm a space nerd. And if you're a space nerd, the biggest pro here is being so close to freakin NASA. The Johnson Space Center. Mission Control. You can see rockets when you drive by. But the actual course is in a community center just off the main property, so it is open and freely accessible to the public.

If you're not a space nerd and you're just there for the disc golf, you'll love the great DisCatcher baskets. You may love some other things about this course, but they will all be of your own making.

Cons:

There's no tee pads. You can follow the map, you can go from basket to basket, and that does make some interesting holes. The baskets are spread out far enough and interestingly enough to lend itself to some quality safari golf though, and sometimes it's nice to be in control of your own destiny.

The course is small and short though, and plays very near some other park amenities, like a soccer field and a playground (which is, of course, space themed).

Other Thoughts:

The grass seems well mowed, and the park is nice. I don't get the impression it's ever going to be busy unless there's a community event going on.

One highlight from my round was a herd of deer near baskets 2-5. All with a few antlers, in the woods and hanging out outside the fence. One of the locals I met on another course said they're out there all the time (his wife works at NASA and he comes up there for lunch or to drop her off pretty often). Deer are one of my favorite critters to see on the course, and I like the idea of having some regular visitors.

I would definitely play this course again, but i would really be more interested in the Johnson Space Center. Maybe a morning round or two while it's cool, then the rest of the day looking at cool space stuff!
