Great rest-stop disc golf 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 8, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Wonderful park located on the bank of the Colorado River with ample parking and great park facilities. Cement tee pads, easy to spot Innova discatcher baskets and excellent use of trees to make for a fun and well rounded course. The first three holes play out in the open before heading down towards the river for four holes through the tall trees on the side of the river. Great location for Houston disc golfers driving back from Austin who want to take a quick break on the drive home. We'll be stopping there again.

Cons:

The park could use more alt tees to make this course playable as a full 18. Also, distances could be written on the tee posts. Hole #3 isn't all that interesting and could benefit from a redesign.

Other Thoughts:

The river doesn't come into play near as much as it could. It would be nice to see the basket on hole #4 pushed back towards the bank of the river to put players in a risk/reward situation.
