Pros:
- Nice variety of open and wooded holes, right and left dog legs
- Clean, not overly crowded park
- Equally challenging both in accuracy and power

Cons:
- Some teepads are too short
- A little frustratingly tight. Many holes just feel like "chuck and pray" - requiring as much luck as skill

Other Thoughts:
I probably had too high of expectations based on the ratings of this course. It was fun, but not that much better than many other courses in north Dallas.

Report this Review Nice challenges
Pros: This is one of two courses in the park, the Beaver course is a bit longer and a bit less technical. There are some longer shots that offer a chance to air it out with large grassy fairways and lurking brush. The rest of the course plays through the woods with a mix of shorter ace run chances and some longer shots that test your shot making ability without being too tight.
The rough is thick enough to cost strokes if you miss your line, but not so thick that it eats too many discs. The three holes by the pond are a nice way to mix things up with more open holes that still offer some tricky risks if you go for the birdies.
The concrete tees are in fine shape, as are the baskets. Tee signs are color coded to show which course they belong to, a nice touch in the area where the two play near one another. The alternate pin placements change things up nicely, if they're moved regularly it could offer some extra variety.

Cons: The signage is faded and damaged, many are difficult or impossible to read. That gets a little frustrating, with some longer holes and some blind shots in the woods. The ones that are readable don't have the current pin position marked, so it doesn't always save you the walk to figure out where to throw.
The tees are a bit small, and some were covered in mud washed over them in a previous storm. The fairways were all dry when I played, but a few showed evidence of being pretty muddy when wet. There are a few of the wooded holes that feel a bit repetitive, there was room for a little more creativity in lines with this much wooded property.

Other Thoughts: I had a great time at this complex, with two very fun courses that complement each other well. I played the Coyote course after the first 16 of this course to save the extra walk to and from the parking lot.
Beginners might find this course a bit long and tough, and the rough could get frustrating for a player without good line shaping skills. More experienced players will find this course a good test, with some length and a few tricky lines, and the two courses combined offer a great balance of different challenges.

Being a little hard on the Beaver.
Pros: 18 concrete tees with nice tee signs and baskets. A couple holes have multiple pins. Good hole design and variety of shots with the available terrain and elevation. Fairways are well defined and bad shots typically punished. Lots of turtles and wildlife. Portapotty in parking lot. Disc golf only park.
Cons: Mud!!! I've seriously never had so many problems with mud on a course before. I guess some people maybe used to Texas soil, but this was ridiculous! Holes 5,6,7 had a lot of mud. This mud sticks to your shoes and just keeps building on them. My shoes must have weighed 10lbs each before scrapping some of it off. I had issues on the tees because my the bottoms of my shoes weren't level and also people use the tees to scrape the mud off their shoes.
Hole 9's fairway was ponded over, so you have to go around the long way to get to the other side . I got lost and then lost my disc and visual reference from the tee once I got back to the fairway. Navigation was a little tricky on the course on the back 9.
Trash on the course. I found someone's underwear on hole 8 near the turtle. Poison Ivy in the rough. Parking lot is small for one course let alone two courses.

Other Thoughts: I like Beaver....it was my favorite of the two Lester Lorch courses, even though the mud was worse. The holes are more diverse and just better IMO. Hole 1 was my favorite in the park.
For people out of town like myself, I'd make sure the course is dry before playing here. I'd probably rate a little higher if it weren't for the mud.

Cedar Hill has a big brown beaver and shows it to all her........
Pros: Concrete tees
Easy enough to find way from hole to hole
good upkeep
Challenging
Awesome wildlife

Cons: Can eat discs
Some of the concrete tees are way too small, like they only poured half of it.
Needs real bathroom
parking lot can fill up

Other Thoughts: This is by far one of the best courses I have played and on top of it you have another 18 hole right on the other side. This course allows you to work on every type of shot you have, roller, thumber, hyzer, anhyzer....you will need your entire bag. I would not recommend this for new players because it would just destroy them, this is definitely a intermediate/pro course. And it is your first time print out the map you may or may not need it.

two course=long day and sore arm
Pros: *most teeboxes are concrete (various sizes)
*park seemed mostly for disc golfers so not alot of extra people walking around
*good use of water on 2 of 3 water holes
*diverse it seemed pretty equal on open holes and heavily wooded holes, with a few that had both aspects on one hole (either started in woods and throw into open or vise versa)
*there is some good shade cover throughout, good for texas heat, but first 8 or so are pretty much in wide open
*number and signage to next hole
*pretty easy to navigate course/flowed well (but print the map from link section above)
*scenic, nice walking trail (hard to believe you are 15 mins from dallas or so)
*good overall layout and playability
*well maintianed fairways
*subtle elevation changes
*course has a good wind block with trees, in texas that sometimes is hard to do, that being said there still are breezes

Cons: *some teeboxes were a little rough (alot of gravel) and were all different sizes
*hole 9 was a bit itimidating, as you are throwing over a marsh to a basket you really cant see, and cant really see what is past the tree line (that being said it probably is one of the trademark holes)
*no stores seemed close, so make sure you bring water with you.
*a few hard to visualize baskets from teebox, you think it cant be that far left/right...it was (This is a pro for some, a con for the other, i kind of like knowing where im going to throw without having to walk to far just to see basket, yet i enjoyed the challenge)
-even though i did list some cons, i would go back and play in a heartbeat, as none of them would stop me

Other Thoughts: We decided to play both. I think we chose right as we played beaver and then coyote course, beaver seemed to be alot longer course then coyote did. By the end of the day my arm was all but gone. There are alot of hard dog-leg holes. you do come up to course entrance rather quickly so be watching

not for newbs
Pros: challenging, technical, very scenic
Cons: fairways are tricky, no clear lines on many baskets.
Other Thoughts: tough course. you can throw some perfect shots that find trees in the middle. no real clear lines to some baskets. just grip and rip really. but it is fun. do not expect to score well and just have fun and you will enjoy. it is very cool for a dallas course. kinda like mclain in san antonio. not super fair, but super fun.

a realy over rated course
Pros: more open than the other course but it just cant com pare to the the other course it uses the water well and who ever layed out the course tryed to use the land well but i would have made one good course not two average courses but sill not a bad course
Cons: way over rated for what its worth. the course did not strike me as a course that was that good i think the longest shot was like four hundred feet and they could have used the hills better. but the tee boxes sucked and were way to small. basically natural tees would have been better and i felt crowded on the tee box by all the trees
Other Thoughts: this course is not worth the pins and concrete its made of

I love this course 
Pros: The layout is sick, there is a good mixture of long and short holes. Trees...Trees...oh did i say trees? Every hole has something different to offer.
Cons: It should be closer to my house. It should have less players, so i can play more often.
Other Thoughts: Great use of elevation, excellent views, and all around great local crowd. Minis are on Sat at 3pm from the teepads and Sun at 3pm from the short tees.

Great for Everyone
Pros: Best course that I have played in DF/W. Course has great signs that tell you were the basket is when you can't see it and also where the next pin is. Concrete tee pads are nice and point in the general direction of the tee. You can tell that there are multiple tee locations due to PVC pipes sticking out of the ground. Has a couple of signature holes, 9 which shoots over a creek bed. Which at the time was dried out due to lack of rain. But for some reason I was still able to lose a disc but find one that was not mine. The other signature hole is 17 which shoots over a pond, which is full of turtles. Course was well traveled which made it easy to find the next hole as well. Even though there were trash cans and benches everywhere there was trash on the course which is just not nice to see.
Cons: The course for some reason had a lot of trash on it, even though there were plenty of trash cans.
Other Thoughts: This course is great for all ages and ability levels. It is very scenic and the paths are well traveled and established. Course had a lot of variety which rewards risk. You have to take a lot of chances to shoot well on this course. You are going to have to jump ahead early because the back 9 are a little rough. But a course that if you are in D/FW you have to try. Reminds me a lot of Bear Creek in Grapevine, which is also a great course.

Pros: Excellent Course
Each hole is different than the one before it.
I really liked how some of the holes would start off in the trees then open up, or vice-versa.
Lots of shade for those hot Texas days

Cons: Briars and thorns in the brush, supposedly snakes (we didn't see any).
Just keep your disc in the fairway and none of these are problems.

Other Thoughts: Great course, we drove from northern Dallas down to play it and it was well worth it. Even if you don't play the second course on site, its still worth the drive.
Cannot wait to go back
