Pros: Nice course, trees on almost every hole, but not too heavily wooded. Fun & easy round of disc'n. Well maintained most of the time.
Cons: Tends to hold water after a good rain, can get a little muddy at the start/finish of first 10 holes.
Other Thoughts: Tee boxes could use a little TLC

Pros: Located a hop, skip, and a jump from UH this course is a downtown Houston tradition. This course provides the central part of town a much needed disc golf experience.
The holes are well balanced with shots equally favoring forehands and backhands. Each hole is typically protected by at least one tree and usually there are trees close to the teebox that make you change an angle you thought might have been there.
The park itself is very well maintained. I did not see any trash on the course and there were quite a few friendly disc golfers looking to play with whoever walked up. It's easy to see that the people who play this course alot have an affinity for it.
I felt very relaxed playing this course and never felt overwhelmed. Which can be a welcome breather from courses like Oak Meadows, McDade, Jack Brooks 1&2, and River Grove.

Cons: I thought that Agnes Moffitt had the worst teeboxes in Houston.... I stand corrected. These boxes are B A D bad and playing from the side on most of them is almost obligitory.
Although the course is very well maintained. It is located in a somewhat shady side of town and you will have the occasional character cross your path.
This course is not what I would call a "hard" or "challenging" course. As I said it is very laid back so if you're looking for a challenge look elswhere. Most holes dont exceed 300' so being a bomber won't do much good out here.

Other Thoughts: All and all I always seem to enjoy myself at MacGregor. Although it may not be the most challenging course in Houston it may be one of the most fun to play.

Pros: Sign with course layout when you walk up to the first tee, it is a good course with a good chuck of trees to present a bit of fun. It can be a birdiefest if you are shooting good.
Cons: Some of the bricks are hard to find and the tees have the feet written on them and our starting to fade.
Other Thoughts: It is a fun course to go relax and play a round or two with your buds and go home feeling good. it is still tough at times but overall fun.

Eponymous review. 
Pros: Great wooded course without underbrush. Not overly challenging but difficult enough for seasoned players. The practice basket has one of the best 'clock' set-ups in Houston and is a great place to practice putting. The north side of the course makes good use of elevation changes.
Cons: The course could use better markings. On your first run through the course it is a bit difficult to figure out where to go to next. The occasional group picnicking in the middle of the course happens a bit too frequently.
Other Thoughts: A really nice course and a nice park. It does get a bit sketchy after dusk though.

This review was updated on 3/29/2010
Pros: Possibly the most used course in central Houston, MacGregor is a good 18 hole course with three additional long holes located at the south west end of the park for those players who just didn't get enough.
There are three tee placements, but two are marked only with large bricks and can be difficult to spot, but the main red tees are marked with posts showing the number and yardage. The pins show their years of wear, but are still in decent shape.
There are no real elevation changes, but this is normal for the Houston area. The front nine play a tighter technical course, and the back nine open up slightly for players needing to air it out. Beginners will enjoy this course, since most holes are short and straight with 16 being the only one "big" hole playing over 400' along the bayou. More experienced players will certainly be tempted to play out over the fence on this hole and bring it back into the clearing for a good risk/reward shot.
There is a full course map, which is good since a few holes play back on each over the front nine and could be confusing to the first timers. There is also plenty of parking, the course is stroller friendly for families, and there is a big playground area for kids, which is visible from most of the front nine.
BEST HOLE/S: #14 (minus tee box); #16

BEST HOLE/S: #14 (minus tee box); #16
Cons: The biggest gripe would certainly be the tee boxes. The gravel tee boxes vary from decent to straight up hazardous shape. Hole five tee has a large left over piece asphalt making footing treacherous, and the short 14's tee box is just begging for someone to sprain an ankle.
Some may argue that the course is too straightforward with no real challenge that force players beyond the beginner level to work to get par. An experienced player looking to be challenged should drive south to Tom Bass Park or north to Oak Meadow Park (private) or Spring Valley DGC.
WORST HOLE/S: #5

Other Thoughts: MacGregor, along with Jim Mozola DGC are the only true course options for people in the southern area of Houston. Both Jack Brooks courses are fairly far away, and Anges Moffitt Park is equal in the opposite direction, so it's not surprising the amount of play this course receives.
I enjoy MacGregor since I can shoot low with many birdie opportunities, but I still have to work to earn them. With plenty of trees to contend with, it's a completely different challenge than Anges Moffitt Park up the road. While it certainly shows it's age, MacGregor is a solid disc golf course that could be a perennial Houston course if had a makeover that included some better tee boxes and more accurate color signs.

Macgregor What Son...
Pros: Nicely laid out gives you room to open up and throw, but also gives you a chance to work on the finesse aspect...
Cons: I agree, it is in a rough area, but whos going to come mess with a big group of people throwing things? The only con I could really find with this course is the monster chain-link fence that you could very well fly over if not careful...
Other Thoughts: Good park, I play it when Im in the Old Spanish Trail area for work, itll give you a workout though

Got a Gloc?
Pros: This is a basic course, most holes are right to left which makes it fairly easy to par most holes, with birdie opportunities galore. Holes 1-10 are in a pine tree forest. Not dense tree coverage at all. The baskets are strategically placed well. Starting at hole 11 it is like a different course, hilly for a few holes, long on one hole, and then back around a side arm throw to hole #18.
Cons: Gunfire, Police Sirens, Crazy people shouting about, drug deals and gangstas. This course is not in a very good neighborhood. If you are a ghetto boyee, go for it, play this course at twilight and try your luck, bring your Kevlar.
Only the red tee boxes are marked, we did see a few brick markers, but they could not be found on most holes. You can play the same throw on almost every hole, there is not a whole lot of variety here. What is up with holes A,B,C?

Other Thoughts: If I lived nearby this course (I would move) I would play this course again.(during a weekday, between 7am and 3pm) If you do not live nearby, travel to a different course, the pros do not outweigh the cons here. (pun intended)

Pretty, fairly easy course
Pros: Pretty course (beautiful pine trees throughout - my favorite), well-manicured and maintained (not much trash). Main set of teepads marked well, and easy to find.
Cons: Alternate tees not marked well enough to easily find all without a printed map. Mostly short holes (from main teepads), and other than ABC holes, pretty much all are reachable; however the course was still worth playing if in the area.
Other Thoughts: Note: rating based mostly on difficulty.
Suggestions: Add a sign for A, B, C holes near hole 5's basket so that players can go play those if they want without driving in the car or walking from tee 18. From what I could tell, the gold teepads made this a significantly more challenging course...I couldn't find several of the first few holes, so I just played the normal marked teepads. I'd add similar posts if possible to help guide.
Also: I got hole 6's tee to 7's basket mixed up, but I probably wasn't paying very good attention.

Fun course in H-Town
Pros: Course is easy to follow. Tees and baskets marked well. Hole 1-10 are pretty short holes bunched together. Lots of birdie chances. Hole 11-18 are set on back part of park away from the picnic area. Nice mix of shots on back 7 holes. Fun course.
Cons: Had to skip hole # 5 because a football game was being played in the fairway. Lots of people unaware a disc golf is in this park.

Fun, Happy Course 2-4 3/11/2008 4/9/2008
Review By: Texconsinite

This review was updated on 1/27/2009
Pros: Nice course threading through the trees at a neat park. The front ten weave through a flat grassy area with lots of big trees.
Back eight are across parking lot, and are more varied with some terrain, and more obstacles to shoot around, like a line of saplings or a large bush.
Great course for beginners because it is virtually impossible to lose a disc here, which is why I say it is a happy course. Though its next the a bayou, there is a chain link fence that keeps discs from straying that way. The only ways to lose a disc on this course are to toss one over the tall fence into bayou, or roll one down the drain pipe that flows into the bayou, both easy things to avoid.

Cons: Tees basic wooden posts with hole length and number, no maps. Alt tees hard to find on most holes. Relatively flat front 10 (go figure, its Houston)
On back 8, can be difficult trying to figure out which pin you are throwing to without checking pin up close.
Like many Houston courses, this course retains water after rains, so be prepared to get your feet and discs wet.

Other Thoughts: Nice park benches in the shade of the trees make perfect spot for a relaxing lunch, between front and back nine, and gives great view to watch the other players on at least 12 of the holes.
The thing that really makes this course go from decent to good is the back eight. The front ten are pretty vanilla Houston holes: flat, scattered trees. The things that bumps this park up a notch are
1) the park itself is quite pretty, with well-maintained facilities.
2) the back eight adds some variety with a bit of terrain, a rare commodity in Houston.
Theres a joke that sums it up:
"Houston has lots of hills- they're called highway overpasses."
