Probably didn't need 18 holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 18, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

A fairly easy course to navigate and access (when the beltway doesn't look like hell), South Main Baptist offers the only 18 hole course for miles. The holes sit in a nicely manicured area on the church property and for the most part, makes the most of the land that is available.

Minus the four or five longer holes that play in the field, all of the holes are shorter and technical. Some of the lines off some tees aren't realistic, but for the most part the holes are challenging but fair. Navigation is fair once you feel the rhythm of how the course is set up.

It's obvious somebody put some time and resources into the course. The course has nice new Mach V baskets with tee markers on every hole. The effort is appreciated.

Cons:

If you were to take a satellite photo of the course and overlay the fairway for each hole, you would have what resembles a spider web. 12 or so holes are crammed into a very small space making it dangerous if anymore than one group is playing at a time. Additionally, the course crosses walking paths, plays close to buildings and throws over parking lots. Not the safest course out there.

The tee signs are literally 3 feet from the previous baskets in some places and the distances on the tee signs seem about 50' shorter than what the hole actually is.

Like Blake mentioned above, the course is technically 18 holes but it really is just 9 holes played forward and backwards. They could've made 12 solid holes than cram 18 in. I also didn't particularly enjoy the long holes in the field. They were 450' holes with not a single obstacle other than long grass that can make you search for your disc for a while.

Other Thoughts:

In 98% of cases, a course is better than no course and this is one of those instances. There is nothing here that is inspiring or interesting. It has glaring issues, but the play here is fine to warrant coming out if you are close.
