Disc Golf Course Review

- Excellent baskets, really love these DGA ones
- Good variety of distances
- Good variety of hole shape
- Excellent use of elevation
- Lots of trees and tight lines
- A few open, longer holes for variety
- Greens are fast and bald
- Bad shots results in bogeys or worse
- The area is quite beautiful and peaceful

- Dirt pads leave a lot to be desired
- Navigation is rough without Udisc
- Little wooded posts says "frisbee golf" which is taboo

This is a really well designed wooded course in SW LA. I played this in early January in the cold, pouring rain and still managed to have a good time. Highly recommend playing here if you live near Texarcana or are planning on driving through this part of LA.

- Tee signs show the necessary information
- Easy navigation
- Interesting what I think are homemade baskets
- A 95 foot very wooded hole 3 is fun
- Quick rounds perfect for course baggers

- Grass tee pads are worn in and now dirt
- Easy course, fairly short
- Plays near playground equipment and neighbors yards
- Roads close by
- Crossing fairways

Neighbors were staring at us like we were from mars or something. I'm guessing not many people play disc golf here which is to your advantage if you live close by or trying to bag it. Not great but not many options in the area and hole 3 is worth it to try and hit the line, and get an ace.

Cement tee pads
2 pin positions for each hole
Still has tee signs

Construction has taken out basket 9
no need for anything more than a midrange

This is a nice little family friendly course that would be good for beginners too.
Also a good ace run course.
Even the longest holes don't need more than a midrange.
I found myself throwing my upshot putter on almost every hole.
Every hole does have at least 2 pin positions, most were in the longest when I played.

Unfortunately, some of these do cross sidewalks. Now looking at the OG pictures uploaded here, looks like some of those sidewalks were put in after the course. The bad one was on hole 8. I almost hit a kid on a bike because he came out as I was throwing and I missed him by only a couple of feet.

Other than that, the holes are not boring. The basket for hole 9 is missing and the pin position would be behind a construction fence for the pool area. I just played hole 9 as a big turnover to hole one's basket.

Would I play here again? Not really. It's a fun little course to play a quick round, but there are SO many good courses in the KC area, no reason to play here again unless I only have a short time and am in the area.

- Easy Navigation
- Nice looking baskets on an old course
- Concrete tee pads
- Many par 4 holes
- Decent elevation and use of canal
- Lots of low ceiling shots
- Challenges line shaping with trees and doglegs
- Good amount of left to right and right to left holes
- NOT a short 9 hole course, challenging par 3 holes
- Well maintained city park

- Parking seems to be limited
- A few holes feel too open
- Pars are somewhat generous
- Sometimes cars park near fairways making it dangerous

I really enjoyed this course, one of the better 9 hole courses I've played, perhaps my favorite of all of them, honestly. I rushed this one sadly as I was trying to beat darkness. I think this is a course that appeals to a wide range of players all the way up to advanced ams. Not a super fast play for course baggers but I recommend playing it anyway as it is really quality.

- Concrete tee pads and good course flow
- Good looking older baskets still catch well
- Lots of fun dogleg holes
- Good amount of trees and low ceiling shots
- Some longer holes as well, not a pitch n putt
- Drinking a beer while playing is a bonus
- The bar/restaurant has good food and beer
- Punishment off the fairways

- Couldn't find one of the tee pads even with Udisc
- On Friday and Saturday night hole one might not be playable
- Playing to the wrong basket is a very real possibility
- Many tweener holes felt like they needed to be pushed back
- Who is this designed for?

I thought going in that a course adjacent to a bar/restaurant would be a friendly to ams type of course. This is kind of right inbetween being beginner friendly and challenging advanced ams. IF they want to challenge more serious plays they need to move some of these baskets back, making them longer which they seem to have the property to do so. If they want it to be mroe friendly to those relaxing at the end of the day and drinking a cold one then perhaps redesign the course and even install another 9 holes which like I said they have the room for. Interesting course, fun for sure but not a 15 minute putter fest. A decent bagging course before or after a meal.

- Easy Navigation and good course flow
- Excellent use of elevation as an obstacle
- Lots of trees to be hit if you don't hit your lines
- Baskets still look and catch well
- Concrete pads, a few holes share the same pad
- Good mix of left to right, right to left
- Low ceiling throws and elevated baskets
- Nice view of the Dallas skyline
- 11 Holes is the perfect number, glad they didn't try to cram too many in here or leave some out

- Some fairways are close to busy streets
- Not many holes require more than a putter or midrange
- Trash and some graffiti present

This is a really fun one near downtown Dallas. Elevation on courses in the area isn't exactly commonplace and you get a few really fun downhill throws here which was nice. Good for bagging as you can get it in pretty quickly. I really love that it's 11 holes. I've always said it's better to put in the number of safe, good holes that the property tells you it should have rather than deciding ahead of time how many holes it will have. Too many times courses have filler holes to get you to 18 or some multiple of 3. This is called the "magic number" problem. I'd rather 11 good holes than 6 good holes and 12 bad holes. Well done. Fun factor is very high here!

- Good baskets and big tee pads
- Excellent mix of open and wooded holes
- Double fairways on most wooded holes
- A few longer, par 4 holes
- Dogleg left and right holes
- Some elevation on the open holes
- Water challenges your brain as well as accuracy
- Park is well maintained
- Tons of trouble off the fairway so par can be tough
- Two tee pads on every hole
- Most holes have two baskets at the same time
- Orange plastic arrows built into basket helps with navigation
- Cool basket on top of a tractor
- Aesthetically pleasing

- A lot of walks between holes that seem unneccesary
- Random baskets that may be a part of a safari layout?
- Too many open bomber holes for my taste
- Snakes, ticks, mosquitoes, do I need to say more?
- Without Udisc navigation would have been harder even with basket arrows
- Mostly flat

We played the blue tees and were a little confused by the dual baskets on most holes. I've guessing the blue and red tees had their own baskets? This was not obvious from the get go and was a bit frustrating for first timers. We never got to play the tractor hole, not sure if this was a red tee basket or part of some safari layout. Big walks between holes seemed like you could put another hole in there. Random baskets in spots made me keep double checking to see if we were following the course correctly. A fun course, at least the wooded holes but the open holes by the water were just that - open. I would have been fine with 1 or 2 holes like that but not a third of the course. Still a good course, and many fun times and pictures to be had and taken. This is a long course with a lot of walking and a huge walk back to the parking lot. If you're not prepared to walk 6+ miles seek disc golf elsewhere. Still the wooded holes were worth the effort to me but as always YMMV. My 70 year old dad gave up after 12 holes!

- No brainer navigation
- Good catching baskets
- Slight elevation changes
- Hole 9 tunnel shot is fun
- Short enough to be played quickly

- Dangerous layout plays right down a walking path
- Dirt tee pads are an eyesore
- Most holes are wide open and short
- Uninspiring design

This course is on the property of a children's hospital. While I find it nice they approved a disc golf course here I kind of question why they did. I question why you make a walking path one third of your fairways. This is one of the worst courses in an area of really great courses so I question why anyone would want to play here who doesn't work at the hospital. This can be played in under 30 minutes so a good one to bag if you're looking for another course to tick off.

- intuitive navigation
- Good baskets and concrete tee pads
- Short but mostly tight lines off the tee
- Good 'fun factor' course
- Warm up or cool down for the putters
- Good mix of right to left/left to right shot shaping
- A few small water hazards
- Sneaky elevation changes

- No need for anything more than a putter
- After a rain the course is REALLY muddy
- A few open holes are boring

I had a really good time at this one. I brought 2 putters and found a 14 speed driver and a Firebird - seriously people why are you bringing anything other than a putter to this place? This is a good one to bag as you can play it quickly and also have fun here. Nothing amazing but nothing really bad either.

- Lots of big open holes to showcase your distance
- Tons of water near many greens or have to carry
- One short, tight fairway to keep you honest
- Minimal elevation changes matter when putting or approaching

- Wide open and long can get boring
- Not a quick 9 hole course for bagging
- Lots of opportunity to lose discs in the water
- Baskets are old DISCatchers that are rusted and worn
- Navigation is tricky in spots with no aid in sight
- Bird crap everywhere
- Lots of fishermen and other park users make throwing some fairways dangerous

Bethany Lakes is not my cup of tea, I'll be honest. I played it at the end of the day during a day long bagging session hoping it would be a short, putter course to cool down on. What I found were multiple wide open 450+ foot holes that also had a few water carries. Hole 9 is a ridiculous hole that requires 400+ or more feet to carry the water across the pond without much of an option to avoid. Is this course built for pros? If so, why? They probably are going to go play a better course than this to get challenged. I saw a dad and his 10 year old teeing off on hole one and felt bad for them. Unless you really want to throw a destroyer over a pond avoid this place and find something better which there are plenty of options in the area.
