Quality Course without the "Wow Factor"

Pros: There is nothing better than a new professionally installed course to give you a great first impression. As with many of the DG consultant courses, the concrete pads a huge and the signage is great. Plus, the Mach V baskets are some of the best pins to play on, so you're not worried about spit outs. Other amenities include plenty of parking, a playground for the kids, and bathrooms.
Design aspect pros include a stronger middle portion of the course with tighter and more technical lines. Many of the holes will make you work to stay on the fairway and punish you for wayward drives into the rough. The overall length is good considering the majority of the course course is carved out of thick trees. And though many of the holes are straightforward - there are just enough blind shots that force you to throw anhyzers and hyzers to keep you entertained.
BEST HOLE/S: #10; & #12

Cons: Repetition is the greatest enemy of Little Egypt. You essentially start the course by playing the same uphill hole (#2, #3, #5) and the same downhill hole (#1, #4) the exact same. Even though the holes are challenging with the foliage and minor elevation change, the lack of variation is a big negative.
Moving beyond the first six holes, truly the course as a whole suffers from this problem. Basically, you have a great looking course that is enjoyable, but nothing ever really stands out. I finished thinking I couldn't really decide if I even had a favorite hole, or something that made me want to come back and play again.
WORST HOLE/S: #1; #6

Other Thoughts: It may be a bit unfair to downgrade a course solely on it's lack of variation or creativity, but it seems to be a theme that echoes many of the greater Houston courses designed by DG Consultants. It's ironic too because overall I typically like their product, and think others could take note to how they do their finishing touches around the box. I even enjoy the technical courses over the huge open courses, but I just didn't love this course like the others in the area.
Players uninitiated to the Houston DG scene may not realize this, but if you've played the majority of the greater Houston courses - I believe you'll agree. You'll notice the same design themes at courses like Oak Meadows Park, Timber Lane Park, or Spring Valley DGC finesse 18.
However, I believe the differences between a course like Oak Meadows and Little Egypt is that it may look bright and tight at first glance, but just misses the mark on incorporating other features that capture your attention and make it truly memorable.

Pros: - Concrete Teepads
- Benches and trash cans near many teepads.
- Course is mostly independent from the rest of the park, interference from pedestrian foot traffic is minimal.
- Every hole is tightly wooded and many require unique and creative shot selection.
- Most of course is well shaded.

Cons: - Holes 1-6 will feel a bit repetitive (straight downhill, straight uphill, rinse, repeat,) but the course does grow in its variety.
- No "Wide open" holes.
- No good fields in park for driving practice
- There is one confusing transition between holes 12 and 13, its over the bridge and to the right. Signage could be better at this juncture.

Other Thoughts: Leave the distance drivers at home! Little Egypt offers a technical challenge I've not seen in the north Houston area. The course offers many challenging angles for the experienced player without being too long and narrow for the beginner. While not a terribly "pretty" course right now with all the downed brush, there is a feeling of tranquility as you walk through the dense forest.
If you want to become a better player with your control drivers and mids off the tee I suggest a frequent dose of this course.

New Course
Pros: This course rewards you for good shots and punishes you for bad shots. The fairways are wide enough to be fair but if you are off prepare to take another stroke. Good variety of shots for both right and left hand players and side arm. Great pavilion and restrooms and easy access of I-45.
Cons: Lots of brush all around because it is a new course. This will be cleaned up over the next few months I am sure. Could use a few more benches to be really critical and a bridge over the creek.
Other Thoughts: Do not cut down too many more trees. It is open enough as is and will get broken in over time
