Pros: Very well kept. The hills provide a good challenge, and make it fun to try out new shots. Never crowded with tons of people. The power holes are fantastic, and very challenging.
Cons: On a windy day, it can be very hard to control your shots on the hills. The woods can get very thick, making it hard to find lost discs. the walk from hole to hole can be a little physically demanding, due to walking up and down hills.
Other Thoughts: Overall, great, well kept, fun course. This course can teach a player how to cope with a combination of wind and elevation changes. I would recommend this course to anyone visiting the woodlands, or passing through.

Pros: This is my favorite course in Houston. Elevation changes on all but 2 holes. The elevation holes have you either throwing from a hill into the trees or from the trees up a hill. #8 is definately one of the nicer holes in Houston--feels like a ball golf hole.
Cons: Most holes best suited for RHBH hyzers but the pro's kill the single con of the course. Slight knock on the rubber pads wrinkling up.
Other Thoughts: Condition wise this course is hands down the cleanest/best kept course in Houston. Only thing close is Spring Valley Power course but only b/c it sits on the maintained ball golf course. The park is not that big but was designed perfectly to utilize the space. I haven't gone looking for the second set of boxes b/c it's been so hot as of late but I have a feeling it's going to bring an awesome new look to an already good course. Even without the second set of boxes it has great replay quality. If you haven't played this course then you're sorely missing out. #9 might be boring for some but it's one that has everyone gunning for the ace. Good way to finish a round on a high or make you want to come back to get that ace.

Pros: The hill gives this course a nice amount of variety. You can throw a couple of diffrent shots on the most of the holes making this a great place to stop by and play.
Cons: Hole 1 was a little tough to find and watch out for the trees on hole 1, they will keep your disc.
Other Thoughts: Great location, can easily play the other Woodlands course or Spring Valley and hop on over here for a quick 9 holes.

Pros: Im going to just come out and say it. This is the best 9 hole course in the Houston area. It really isn't even close. The course offers true drastic elevation changes. With many shots going up and down steep hills. There are alcove shots like 3 and 5 and a long bomber on 6. If you want to play a quick 9 and live in the area play this course period.
Cons: As the previous reviewers have stated 9 is a throw away hole. Its a 200 foot straight shot, although I will caution, do whatever you can to not throw into the woods on that hole. You will be lucky if you ever find your disc.
Other Thoughts: I organized a team building activity at work and took everyone out to Terramont. They loved it. Beginners and experienced players alike enjoyed the layout, the clean awesome park, and the surprising "Hill" that resides at the center of this nine hole gem. This is a great park to take your family to if you have kids, as it has one of the coolest playgrounds around with a kick butt slide that had me wishing I was 5 again. Play Terramont now you won't regret it.

Pros: A large hill makes this course different from any other in North Houston. The elevation change makes shot selection an important part of your round, because if you come up short, you'll most certainly end up in the woods. Very nice Fly18 Tee Pads offer comfortable footing, even in rainy conditions. Easy to follow layout inside a very user-friendly park.
Cons: Only 9 holes. I could have played 100 holes if they were all as good as these.
Other Thoughts: I wanted so badly to put this in the "Con" section, but there is a huge hill. Up and down, originally from the flat-lands of northwest Ohio, this was a very geologically educational round.

Pros: This is about the only true elevation course in Houston. This course has length, technical shots, and big slopes. With the alternate tees (Marked with a small brick), a person can really play 18 holes and feel like they were 18 different holes.
The tee area is complete with high quality signs that are fairly unique to the Houston area, and there are Fly18 rubber tee pads to help with footing.
There are quality bathroom facilities and a cool playground area for the kiddies to play at. Comparatively speaking, for a short course with no real hazards, a person who plays just in the Houston area will appreciate the different feel Terramont has to offer.
BEST HOLE/S: #2

BEST HOLE/S: #2
Cons: The alternate tees are very difficult to find since it is just a brick in the ground, but they are new so it may change over time. Consult the map under links for all alt placements.
The Fly18 rubber tees are a bit short for my taste, and many are getting torn and badly worn. The soccer field can come into play for an errant shots on holes #8 and #9. Also, hole #9 is boring at best, since most people don't play it as the "island" hole it was intended to be.
Hole #6 can get pretty nasty after a rain especially by the tee box, and hurricane Ike downed some trees, which makes a horrible shot into the woods even worse. This is primarily an issue on the left side, so steer clear by hugging the right hand side of the fairway.
WORST HOLE/S: #9

Other Thoughts: Without the alternate tees, this is a course to play occasionally to practice elevation shots. With the newly added alternate tees, (as far as 9 hole courses go) - this is probably one of the best 9-hole courses within 100 miles of Houston with only Northside Christian Church DGC being the only other close in quality and design.
Another perk is that Stonebridge Church DGC is currently being redesigned into an 18-hole course, so there will be 27 holes of DG within about 2 miles of each other.

Pros: This course is only nine holes but it has great replay qualities. I played it 3 times in one day! It at a very nice park that has great bathrooms and is well kept. The course has alot of elevation change and has many different types of holes. This course brings in a good balance of challenging and fun holes.
Cons: Its only 9 holes. Since it is at a fairly small park 9 is all that could fit. But it would be awesome if this course was 18!
Other Thoughts: There was alot of kids at the park and playground near the course so watch out for kids!

Pros: Excellent elevation change throughout the course as it is basically a course upon a GIANT hill. Most of the holes you are either throwing down the hill into a gap in the forest or out of the forest up the hill; though most are short holes. Their are 3 moderate length holes: #6 which is a straight shot down a ~40 foot corridor lined by marshy woods; #7 which goes back along the bottom of the hill with the pin placed ~midway up the steep hill (if your disc doesn't come in flat you are in danger of rolling ~60 feet back down the hill); #8 which goes (slightly downhill) along the top of the hill and ends with a pin that is on a small local hill. Nice markers at each tee pad giving the hole length and layout. The location of the next hole is usually easy to find, and first timers can look at the map at the park pavilion before playing to see the layout.
Cons: The rubber tee pads could really use replacement, most of them are uneven and some are falling apart. This is a park, so if it is busy pedestrians can get in the way - though when I played they stayed off of the course for the most part.
Other Thoughts: This course is great for beginners (4.0) and is still fun for intermediate players (3.5) and is great for practicing elevation changes. Also, as of today, the marker for hole 1 has been replaced; however, the fourth tee sign graphic is still wrong.

Pros:
The hill! I've now played most of the Houston area courses and Terramont has the highest percentage of holes playing up or down a hill. The best place to work on your game with elevation changes. This hill rivals Tom Bass:Wilmont #15/#16.
Parking is convenient and close to the first hole. There shouldn't be much pedestrian interference as the course layout avoids most of the other park amenities. The wooded holes have well defined and nicely cleared fairways that allow good shots a path to the basket.
The rubber tee pads were playable and provide a well defined tee box, but they're starting to show some wear.

Cons:
The #4 tee sign graphic is wrong for the current basket placement. The sign shows the basket off to the right when in reality it's off to the left.
Hole #9 is an anti-climatic finishing hole: a 206' straight shot to the basket. I've since learned this was intended to be an "island hole" with the basket surrounded by a small brick wall (you can even see the wall on the detailed map graphic). That would make it much more interesting, but the Parks Department decided not to install the wall. So I guess you just finish the round with what should be an easy birdie.

Other Thoughts:
First timers should check the map at the restrooms when you arrive to locate tee #1 and get a general idea of the course layout.
This course has only one RHBH anhyzer shot vs. five or six RHBH hyzer shots (the remaining two or three holes are primarily straight).
With the #5 basket set so far back in the woods it requires a very interesting throw to bend a disc down the tunnel from the tee. That's a shot I do not yet have. UPDATE: Hurricane Ike knocked down a bunch of trees on this hole opening up a gap straighter towards the basket.
I enjoyed my round at Terramont a lot, which may have been related to playing well. I finished two down on four birdies. We took the opportunity to throw several practice drives on #7 and watched most of them roll back down the hillside. The downhill slope on #8 allowed me to register probably my longest birdie hole at 410'. :-)

Played: 98 Reviewed: 76 Exp: 5.4 Years
Pros: What a cool course!! Well designed to be fun and interesting, with no two holes the same. Hill in play on almost every hole in some way. Since most shots, even putts, are uphill or downhill, it puts a very interesting twist on what I was used to, especially from other Houston courses. The hill is HUGE!! Think a hill with smaller hills, valleys, and even a few trees on that hill. Like "too big to possbily throw over the whole thing" huge. Megahill ringed by swampy woods, so many holes involve either shooting out of the trees up onto the hill, or shooting down hill sideways and hook into narrow tunnel in trees which leads to the pin. Can't see the pins from most tees, which makes it even cooler.
Cons: I wish it were 18 holes, or at least alt tees so I could play it like 18. Also, the few holes where the hill is not in play are not nearly as cool as the ones on/around the hill. Also, woods were swampy when I played, so sometimes you are approaching from the middle of a puddle, unless you are on the hill.
Other Thoughts: Very Fun Course!! If you are in the area, play it for sure (and the two right by it as well, see Bear Branch review)
As an added bonus, when you are done playing, you can sit by the adjacent terrain park and watch ten year-old skateboarders eat pavement with their mothers chatting each other up fifteen feet away, and reflect on how thankful you are for playing a sport that doesn't require protective headgear or wrist guards. Keep on spinning!!
