Awesome compliment to the Roadrunner

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 4, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Course infrastructure is fantastic -

Just like it's big brother this course has beautiful navigational aids, tee signs, tee pads, the works. The next tee signs are color coded in blue/purple and say "NEXT TEE" on them and are present at every hole leading to the next tee pad. I really like these turf tee pads, they grip well after tromping through the mud which can be present in the winter months at either course. Baskets have a bright red band on them that are a good contrast to the brown woods around, easy to see. Tee signs just say "HOLE 1" or whatever in blue but holes are short enough and most baskets are visible from tee that it's fine.

- Course style and features -

This is a heavily wooded course, and even though it's fairly short there are several double fairways, many right to left and left to right shots required. Some well marked OB, including a few creeks around baskets, with many dog leg holes and even some small to moderate elevation changes both up and down. If you're not accurate off the tee the trees will punish you and throwing from off the fairway will require a very good throw to get you up and down for par. Not many open fairways, only 18 that I can remember and even it has as low ceiling, and OB if you're short. This is a course that will show you the hole in your skill set.

Cons:

- Lots of things just off the fairway that want to hurt you including random pieces of metal fencing, holes in the ground that are covered by leaves, roots, stickers, branches, etc.
- The course is short, no holes over 400 feet so you can leave most of the warp speed drivers in the car and save them for the Roadrunner course.
- It feels like it favors the RHBH hyzer over other types of throws if only slightly

Other Thoughts:

This is an awesome piece of property with two really fun heavily wooded, well designed courses on it. This is a good compliment to the bigger course and I found it to be a wonderful cool down of sorts after getting destroyed at the Roadrunner earlier in the morning. Nicky at the shop has really put together a fun disc golf destination less than an hour from Dallas. Only Friday, Saturday, and Sunday they fire up the grill and every other day of the week they are open he has drinks and snacks available. He also has a pro shop with new and used discs in it, practice baskets and a driving range outside. I can't say enough about this piece of property. If you're anywhere near Dallas you have to make a trip out here and play these courses!
