Lakeside Beauty... 
Pros: Great LOOOOONG Teepads. This course is definately the most sceneic course I have played in my short time in the sport. Love the challenge of the few blind teeshots. Really enjoyed the way the lake came into play on a couple holes. The parking area being nearby could be handy, should a fresh cold one be needed from the cooler.
Cons: The only real con that I could find was on one hole we come to find a group of campers using the level area in front of the tee pad as a tentsite... Not a big deal as we were able to throw by them without much difficulty.
Other Thoughts: I definately want to play this course again, and as often as possible.

Pros: Starting this course off with a downhill shot toward the lake allows you to get in the mood right off. One of the baskets sits up on what from some angles looks like a small rock peninsula (but is does have some beach behind it.) It is absolutely beautiful. You may find yourself just stopping to enjoy the surroundings on more than one occasion.
The tees are cement and some of the longest I have ever seen. There are signs pointing to the next tee on a few of the holes. There are many sitting benches and trashcans. There are portable bathrooms near the center of the courrse. Some of the baskets are so well landscaped; it makes you wonder why more courses don't do this. The wildlife is amazing. The difficulty of the holes are well mixed. I love throwing out over the lake on hole #7 and watching your heyzer and the breeze off the lake work your throw back toward land. The waves seem to bring the wet floaters back to shore…if you can wait for it.
The front 9 plays along the lakeside of the road and the back 9 is on the other side. The back nine is not as picturesque so it tends to seem like a let down, but it really isn't. Some of the holes on the back 9 will make you want to throw more than one tee shot. There is one ace run hole that a skip-in is just too tempting to pass up. That is a fun hole.

Cons: To find some cons was a bit tough. The tee signs need updated to the distances that the course now runs. I would not trust the footage on the signs…use this site's distances instead. There is probably only one true left handed hole on the entire course.
Other Thoughts: The Fun Factor here is excellant! Many of these holes are just so much fun to play. It was nice to be within a short walk back to the car numerous times during the round. You can carry less this way. I will be playing this course more and more in the future. It is just too beautiful not to. I had not played a lakeside course before this one and have been on the lookout for more of these ever since. One fun suggestion for playing here in the sumer months, try wearing your swim suit so you can cool off in the lake in the middle of your round.

Played twice today
Pros: This is a great course to enjoy the views of the lake, especially on the front nine. Some shots are very technical. A wooden bench is provided by almost every tee pad. The complete course covers the area in a 'clover leaf' pattern, makes it easy to get cold ones from the car instead of carrying them. Sometimes we go to Sneaky Petes after the game and sit at the gazebo to watch the eye candy coming off the boats;)
Cons: We played on Sunday, first game at 8am then 2nd at 10am. The 10am game was full of noise from the nearby soccer fields with events going on. Somebody had a loud speaker over there and was constantly talking in spanish. It was very annoying especially when it is such a beautiful park you have a constant chatter going on in the background of something I couldn't understand. Last time I played here about a month ago, there were kids across the road by the guard shack for boat lake access that were constantly screaming... These are probably isolated insidents. I have played here about 20 times in the last 5 years and not much else to complain about other than seeing occasional poison ivy.
Other Thoughts: We saw a huge hawk in the tree by basket #16 that was really cool. Also a snake near the water at the edge of the beach by #3 fairway. I believe this course/park does not close and alcohol is also allowed.

Beautiful lakeshore! 2-4 1/31/2009 8/4/2008

Pros: What makes this course great is the natural beauty of the lake shore that the front nine are set on.
It has nice long concrete teepads.
There is plenty of shade for play during those hot Texas summers.
There are benches on about half of the holes.
There are some interesting holes that you won't find at your run of the mill course:
#1 is a straight 233' downhill shot with a dropoff to the lake shore behind a basket that is surrounded by trees.
#2 is only 236 but has a good pucker factor because you are throwing blind over a small hill and you have to hit a window in the trees about 150' away.
#3 was designed to be an annie over the water but most people take the safe hyzer down the path to the basket. The elevated pin on the rocky shore makes this one of the prettiest holes in the metroplex. During tournaments they make a temp teepad down on the beach that forces everyone to throw over the water.
#4 is a 302' dogleg right and is almost impossible to get close in one throw.
#6 has a cool elevated terraced green that you must land on or be forced to putt up to the basket.
#7 is the most memorable hole on the course because this is where most people lose discs. The natural route is a 300' hyzer over the water to an elevated basket on top of a rock. People who have lost a disc will take the safer annie down the trail.
#8 is a short blind hyzer to another terraced green. Miss the green and you'll be three putting for sure.
The other 11 holes are about what you'd find on an average course.

Cons: Parking is along the side of the road and at least 4 holes have you throwing right towards where most people park.
Quite a few signs are missing or damaged and the distances are not accurate on some. I printed the distances from this website and was fine.
There are a couple of areas where you have to step onto the fairway of other holes. Just be aware and keep a lookout at all times for flying discs.

Pros: This course is very scenic and has a good mix of different kinds of holes. There are many holes with changes in elevation, many with trees in the fairway that will require pinpoint accuracy or a big shot over the top. There are several holes where Lake Lewisville comes into play. Hole 3 offers the opportunity to the daring for an anheyzer shot out over the lake to get to the pin and hole 7 has the same for a big heyzer shot. There are many aceable holes here as well as a few that you're lucky to par. The tee boxes are the best around. Very long, close to 15ft or so. This is a very well maintained course. It is pretty easy to navigate as well with signs after the basket that tell you where to go next. This is one of the few courses around where you are allowed to drink, provided that it isn't a glass container.
Cons: Sometimes there is heavy course traffic and there are quite a few people that will come and sit down by the lake to fish and swim. They create extra obstacles on a couple of holes, although I've never heard of anyone getting hit yet. A few of the signs have inaccurate information and need to be updated.
Other Thoughts: There are usually quite a few throwers out. The mornings are the best times to go to avoid heavy course traffic. This is one of those courses that is hard to ever get tired of.

Awesome Course
Pros: This course has everything. From tees and baskets right on the lake to heavily wooded sections and a lot of really great downhill drives. The course is well laid out maximizing the available space. The holes are long and provide a good challenge especially as you try to navigate the trees.
Cons: Not very many problems with this course.
Other Thoughts: I highly recommend this course.

Lake Lewisville Park
Pros: Beautiful location alongside the lake. Look at the picture of pin number three. I've never seen a more incredible view on a disc golf course. Nice layout provides variety and challenge. Landscaped pin locations and concrete tees serve as very positive features. Signage still remains on most holes and helpful arrows point the first-time player in the direction of the next tee. There is an interesting mix of sand, dirt, and grass playing surfaces as well as beach holes, lightly-wooded holes, and heavily-wooded holes.
Cons: Trash on the course detracts from the scenery. The smell from the lake can seem unpleasant to some.
Other Thoughts: Bring your swimsuit because after a long, hot game of golf, you will want to go for a dip in the lake.

Fun course
Pros: Great front nine that runs alongside the lake. Tees and holes are sometimes on landscaped platforms, which is nice. Next tees are always well marked. Nice balance of dogs left and right.
Cons: Back 9 feels a little crammed together near the apartment complex. Maps of each hole could use an upgrade, but are functional for the most part.
Other Thoughts: For my money, a much more interesting course than Leonard L. Woods Park across town. Probably my #2 course in the area so far behind Harry Myers DGC in Rockwall.
