Pecan = enjoyable
Pros: 1) Pecan Park offers a beautiful setting for someone wanting to enjoy a fun round of disc golf! The course is easy enough to attract new players but still offers enough challenge for Adv and Pro players.
2) The course was updated in 2012 with new Discatcher Pro baskets which were a noticable step up from the previous single-chained baskets.
3) The course has a good mix of distances with plenty of holes under 300ft but some newly lengthened pins moving the number of 400ft+ holes to 5.
4) Pecan Trees! This course has a unique ambiance with plenty of shot options available through the well defined lanes in the old pecan orchard.. The tree trunks are very large but you will rarely find a low hanging limb on these mature trees to impede your shot.
According to past PDGA events a 1000 rated round at Pecan is right at -7 (in a tournament). Plenty of opportunities to birdie but also a few areas to find water (7,8,14,16)

Cons: The dirt teeboxes are not in the best condition and can get fairly slick.
There are very few holes that require a right handed player to throw an anhyzer shot. Basically the course can be shredded with a bunch of hyzers.
Along those lines if a player is putting well they can easily shoot a hot score even if they are throwing poor drives. This stems from the fact that it is easy to get an open putt on pretty much every hole without a "great shot".
The course layout can be hard to follow for many players if they have not played the course before.

Other Thoughts: If you are looking to play a beautiful park that won't be too punishing to your game Pecan park is a perfect place to play and in the "Oldest Town in Texas"
The course receives a lot of use from joggers/bikers along with young children on the playground so just be aware of your surroundings when throwing!

Report this Review Variety is the Spice!
Pros: Variety of players can enjoy the course, playing a variety of shots, on a variety of elevation and obstacles! My beginner wife and I (Sr GM) had a lot of fun on this course. There are a mixture of open, treed, uphill and downhill, ditches to cross, long and short holes to play. A rest room is available. The course is in a scenic pecan orchard with plenty of shade. On most holes there are several lines you can play, and risk v. reward shots are optional on many holes. I really thought the basket placements were well-planned and a definite plus. The placement could make an seemingly easy hole more challenging for sure. Parking is very adequate, even when competing with SFA students. Steve at Old Town General Store on Main Street was really helpful, and you can buy discs there as well. He gave us a much-appreciated map, and invited me back for the Nacogdoches Open coming up. If he is representative of the DG'ers in Nacogdoches, you guys are doing things right. Plus you can get some great food at OTGS.
Cons: Had we not been given a map, we would have had a bit of a struggle doing the course from the signage in place now. A map on the Nacogdoches Crushers website, as is present for Pioneer and Lake Nacogdoches, would be very helpful. We went the morning after a heavy rain, and our shoes got pretty wet. So, if the course had a recent rain, wear waterproof or be prepared for wet feet from standing water. Those are my only two cons.
Other Thoughts: Nacogdoches has three courses, and Pecan may be the easiest. Pioneer is harder I'm told, and Lake Nacogdoches is getting a really great reputation if you are looking for a challenge. So Nacogdoches has something for everyone. I think you could make a DG weekend there and leave very happy.

Never a bad round
Pros: Lots of opportunities for great shots. This park has at least one or two holes for everyone. A couple of long bombers, places for you to work shots around trees, water hazards on a few holes to test your skill and shorter holes to tempt you to try for an ace. Good basket placement among the trees in the middle of park. A mostly flat, easy to play, extremely fun course.
Cons: If you're a local, learning the course is easy, but signage would be extremely helpful for out-of-towners and first-timers, especially since a few of the holes were changed before the last Pecan Park Open.
If your disc goes into the water on holes 14 or 16, you'll more than likely be able to find it, but the "cleanliness" of that water is questionable at best on some days.
During little league seasons, some parents have claimed the park as their practice field, making holes 1, 3 and 5 unplayable in the late afternoon on practice days. There's also a group of college students who've taken to playing soccer in the middle of the fairway on 18.
Lastly, the people who live behind the number 12 teebox could stand to clean their kennel a bit more regularly.

Other Thoughts: Regardless of anyone's list of 'Cons' (including mine), you'll have a great time at this course. Even if you're having a rough day, there's always at least one hole where you'll make a great shot that will make up for it.
Pecan Park fits well in Nacogdoches' trio of courses. Newer players will find it an enjoyable place to begin playing, and larger-sized players will find the terrain easier to navigate than the up/down hiking treks of the Lake and the front 9 at Pioneer.
Keep a Whippet, a Predator or something similar in stability in your bag for your drive on hole 10. A good spike hyzer from the teebox can shave off a stoke on that one.
Pecan is also the best spot in town for a round of night golf.

Alum Coming Home
Pros: Fun course, well kept up.
Good use of pecan orchard and several creeks. Not a lot of trash which is a plus for me.

Other Thoughts: I am an Alum for Stephen F Austin and wished this course was around then as would have kept me out of trouble. I really enjoyed course. Better signage and would rate higher. Of course I'm sure alot better now then when I last played. It is on my list to replay some day.
Short, but Fun
Pros: This is a fun course set in a beautiful old Pecan Orchard. Very busy area with the college being right across the street.
Some of the holes need new signage, from what some locals told me the disc club is doing some renovations and changing up some of the holes.
Course has some difficult holes but also has some ace runs, which I always enjoy, seeing as how I am still searching for that elusive first Ace!!!
Some sweet SFA eye candy running around the park!!!!!!

Cons: Very busy, you have to watch out for Peds and you will definitley have to deal with some ignorant people that try to set up a picnic right in front of a basket.
Single chain baskets.... Not my favorite but not a round killer.
Some holes have been changed, so updated signage should be coming soon.
5.0 Alert!!!! Tons of police and school police roaming the area. Not really any secluded areas to kick back and "relax".

Other Thoughts: I would definitley play this course again, fun and quick round. My home courses are Lindsey park in Tyler, but a 1 hour drive to Nac is worth it for this course and a challenging round over at the Lake!!!

Pros: A lot of good open shots. There are a few long holes and a few that have some good tree coverage you have to throw around.
Cons: Old baskets, a lot of walkers and other pedestrians you have to watch out for, signage and directions to other tee boxes could be improved. Nothing real major though.

Pros: Peaceful setting runs along a wide creek, and through a Pecan Orchard. Most holes are wide open with the occasional tree in the way. If not careful, hole #2, the creek will eat up and swallow your discs.
Cons: Active park with running and biking trial cutting thorugh some of the holes, so watch out for the moving obstacles
Other Thoughts: Was my favorite course in East Texas until I moved!

Cute course that lacks creativity Pros: Clean, friendly players, plenty of room to throw hard.
IMO, this course is nicer than Pioneer Park. Its cleaner and while significantly easier, its because the course is straight forward. It doesn't have very much elevation, but that's ok. Free to play, so nice after being used to San Diego's Morley Field.

Cons: No creativity with holes. Almost all the holes feel the same. Tee boxes are not well marked, but the course overall is pretty well marked for a free course.
Other Thoughts: Solid beginner course.

Review By: creeper78 
Played: 17 Reviewed: 3 Exp: 3.1 Years
This review was updated on 4/26/2010
Pros: Nice course. Wide range of shots from longer drives to shorter technical shots. Players were extremely friendly and willing to help direct us to the correct tee.
Cons: Originally, there had been some holes w/o proper signage on the tees, but that has since been cleaned up. Last time, the only one I noticed is that the tee for 17 still showed a 9. Otherwise, the all had been updated. There is still some construction equipment on one of the holes, but we were still able to play it.
Other Thoughts: Good course once you figure out where to go. Has lots of open space around tee #2 to practice driving, especially if you're someone who can throw those longer drives (which I am not). Was dry on the above date, but I can see how a couple of holes would be difficult to play for a few days after a decent rain. I'll definitely become a regular at this course.
Pros: There are a lot of technical shots that really test your short-game/mid-range. There are a few holes that have decent drives that really test your range. There is a good mix of par 3 and 4. The scenery is great. There is hardly anywhere in the park you could loose a disc.
Cons: There is some construction going on that hinders a few of the fairways. A few of the baskets are located in overgrown areas and if you don't know what you are looking for it could be confusing. A few of the baskets are too close together, and could make for a confusing drive.
Other Thoughts: You pretty much get a feel for the course on the first drive, it is a monster drive- par 4. i can always tell how my day is going to go from that first hole.
