The Nazz Delivers! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 2, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Designer Larry Martin has carved out one enjoyable course here at the Nazz. The course starts behind the main church building and first circles the church in a counter clockwise direction before heading into the woods for some technical golf. The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow bands and numbers. Amazingly, a couple look like they were installed yesterday. The tee pads are carpet with a fire hose used as a front board. It worked well as a front board and if the woods catch on fire you might be able to help the firemen. The signs are just little yellow posts sticking up with the hole number on it. Some of the early baskets had cool little red arrows hanging from the basket pointing you to the next tee. Why doesn't every course put these on their baskets? After # 13, Larry has painted bright pink markings on some trees leading you to the next tee. There are a variety of homemade benches on various holes. I think I'm spoiled after seeing the large, traffic block benches on some of the Austin courses.

The strength of this course is the stretch of technical throws on holes 7-14. Although short, each of these has a fair route to the basket. This fair route might be tiny but it's doable. A couple are ideal for a little flick toss. I liked # 10 and it's cool hanging basket. The hole is probably 125' but the route is minuscule and easy to miss.

Cons:

Short distances for the most part.

The middle, wooded holes might be too technical for some player's tastes.

Kind of a primitive feel with the carpet pads, simple little tee signs and homemade benches.

Navigation was a little tricky in places. I missed the # 15 tee.

Other Thoughts:

Solid church course. Larry is passionate and this is his baby. Currently, the church is recovering after the effects of the flooding. Beaumont got hit bad and this neighborhood shows it. The course is a little beat up at this time and getting the church put back together is everyone's priority. Eventually, Larry will get back to his course and begin some of the cleaning up that needs to be done. Some tee signs washed away, lots of debris floated in and the course has looked better. But these Texans are resilient and better days are ahead.

Pros:

A local church has built a course on its grounds for every one in the area to play. This is a new fledgling course and they have put their money onto their cages. The atmosphere is nice as they have an outdoor pavilion with a fire place and seating ring to keep you out of the weather if it turns bad. The one thing I really liked is they have a disc return box if you find lost disc on their course. The course is pretty open in the front and get into heavy woods in the back. There is water on several holes most is not too deep if your disc sink to the bottom.

Cons:

Because this place is new some of the holes in the wooded area are still rough and have some stumps sticking up. Watch your step I almost tripped several times. I did not see an information center displaying a map of the course or a print out of the course. I was playing with a group and we had a guy who knew the course other wise I would have been lost on several holes. Some of the tee boxes are uneven due to them being dirt and getting use.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I enjoyed my round of disc golf with friends on a new local course. With time im sure this course will only continue to get better as it develops.
