Updated:
Played on:Apr 19, 2019
Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
Good location for Friendswood/East Pearland/League City/Clear Lake.
Accuracy required.
Some elevation change.
Neat wooded, hidden feel. Also reduced wind impact even on windy days.
2 concrete or packed dirt tee boxes per hole.

Cons:
Can be super wet and muddy depending on recent rains. Likewise, can be heavy on mosquitoes.
Off-fairway can have lots of poison ivy, and generally some scary underbrush. (Multiple times I expected to disturb a creature.)
Small tee boxes.
Still a few "lucky" spots, but much fewer than originally.
Sometimes difficulty locating the next tee.
Short tees especially RHBH favored. Long tees more balanced.
No long holes.

Other Thoughts:
Reminds me of the first half of Jack Brooks Cedar Hills, without the water hazard.
It's pretty cool back in this area that used to be homes. (A friend who's lived in the area a long time says the neighborhood was mostly razed in 1979 after flooding badly.) One basket is on an elevated concrete slab beside a large clump of bamboo, and there are other "domestic" plants in spots.
The park parking lot is a fair distance from the course. We parked in a little deadend street beside basket 1: https://goo.gl/maps/xaV6c
Update: I gather we're not "supposed to" park there, but many people do. Further, when the rain has been bad, the trail from the parking lot can be almost impassably wet & muddy.
I'd like to bump my original review from 3.0 to 3.5, and maybe I will eventually. It's definitely a better course now than it was when I reviewed 4 years ago. With 12 baskets, better cleared brush and some bark mulch put down on some of the wettest spots. If the near-fairway brush was cleared further, and if the fairways are kept short (one recent time we had trouble finding a few discs even on the fairway, in the knee-high clover), I'd go to 3.5.
There's also some obvious land clearing occurring right around the course, but I can't see any progress in the past several months, and I have no idea whether any of that will become part of the course.

8 and 9 took a minute to find. Would be nice to see more signage as your first time out here would be more enjoyable and less confusing. Overall a good course and will be one of my regulars I play on a weekly basis.
