Your Friendly Neighborhood Pitch 'n Putt 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 3, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

I am reviewing this course as a neighborhood Pitch-and-Putt type course. In that light it is fine. What is isn't is a challenging, destination type course. For that head over to Williamson County DGC or Benbrook.

This is a short 9-holer, with hole lengths ranging from 150' to 286'. Five of the holes are less than 200' so this is a great place to dial in approach shots and putts.

Lots of mowed grass with no brush, so you won't lose a disc here unless you throw it over a fence, and even that isn't likely.

Holes 6 and especially Hole 7 bring large mature trees into play, but that is about it for obstacles on the course. Other holes are essentially wide open shots to the basket. It was very windy the day I played and that is where the challenge came from. On a calm day this would be a birdie-fest.

Simple tee signs with hole number and distance are all you need since every basket is easily visible from the tee. Tee pads are small dirt/gravel spots. Baskets are Innova DiscCatchers in very good shape.

Course navigation is simple. Holes 6 - 9 play start and finish near the parking area and I played them first. You then have to cross a road and walk a bit to find Holes 1 - 4. Hole 5 is on a separate spot of land that brings you back to the parking lot.

Cons:

This is a short little course with little variety or challenge. Most holes are flat and open with only the wind to challenge an easy "drive" to the basket.

Some of the tee pads were uneven enough to be an issue. Even on short holes lumpy tees are no fun.

Other Thoughts:

This is probably a perfect course for neighborhood kids and families to get introduced to disc golf. This is not a course that I'd ever go out of my way to play again as there are more challenging courses in the area.

Practice course only 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 2, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good place to practice putt & approach shots.

Not too busy, so no waiting at holes.

Good place to bring your family/kids, with a park nearby.

Cons:

Almost no challenge, with the possible exception of hole #7, which I call the "pin ball machine" hole.

Other Thoughts:

I bring beginners here for a couple of weeks to get a feel for the game, then we go somewhere else.

It's close to my house, so sometimes I come here to practice approach shots, but even beginners should be able to play even par here without too much practice.
