Pros: Plenty of open spaces to really go for it on a few long holes!
Nice course for only 12 holes...was a pretty good challenge from the A tees but the B's are pretty easy

Cons: Most holes are straight and many of the trees on the course are very young and will be much more challenging in a few years when they have grown up a bit.

Pros: All tee boxes play on grass and are adequately marked with a post showing the hole number and yardage. The alternate boxes (A) will force a person to play the holes slightly different than the regular boxes (B), but mostly there are just longer.
There is a practice pin by the hole one near the park lot, so a person has the opportunity to warm-up - even though most holes play between 200' - 300'. The holes are a mix of lightly to moderately wooded shots and opening up on holes 8-11.
The Alief area isn't the greatest part of Houston, so to see that they have taken the time to remark the course and move pins to make a 12 hole course is encouraging. The old hole eleven pin still stands by the tennis court in case you are new to the course and are a bit confused. Also, being in the park area, it's open enough so the kids can run around, and the entire course is stroller friendly.
BEST HOLE/S: #6; #7

Cons: Only one hole (11) plays over 400', but at 503' (marked under 500' on the marker) it takes two solid shots to be in proximity to a pin guarded by a big overhanging branch.
The pins are still playable, but some are leaning slightly, and many show the signs of wear and tear.
I went early to avoid the crowds, but still managed to wait for people on hole nine since it's so close to the walking track around the park perimeter. Even though this wasn't an issue for me, there is a picnic area set up by hole twelve, so in the prime time hours, hole twelve may be unplayable due to people.
WORST HOLE/S: #1; #10

Other Thoughts: I loved Nottingham when I first started playing, since it had a good mix of trees and open shots, but wasn't hard enough to frustrate me from playing the game. New players still working on their accuracy will want to be careful though - (especially 9, 10, & 12).
In my book, having alternate pins goes a long way; having felt satisfied playing 24 holes of golf. Granted, the course isn't very difficult, but still lets you enjoy a good day of solid golf without having to worry about losing a disc or competing with many other disc golfers.
