Job well done Alvin Parks & Rec 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 14, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

The amenities you want: long grippy concrete tees + brick extension behind. New Discatchers. Course map. Practice basket. Tee signs at each pad (though lacking in hole detail). Next tee marking on the basket.
Great course flow. Many holes were short walks from basket to tee while not feeling congested or overlapped.
Well defined fairways- rough is rough but open and fair lines to attack holes.
High fun factor.

Cons:

Very poor drainage after rain. Sticky shoe-sucking mud is the name of the game after precipitation.
Low overall difficulty. Light to moderate line shaping is required to navigate the brush defined fairways and par 4's are on the soft to easy end of the spectrum.
Hole 17 does not have a line to the basket besides a massive LBH/ RHFH hyzer. Besides this hole design is good.

Other Thoughts:

Briscoe Park is nothing short of a very good disc golf course set in a sprawling multi use park. Amenities installed from day 1 are among the top caliber you will see, especially for a course tailored more to the casual-intermediate player.
Disc golf is set in a mostly dedicated area of the part where only moderately to significantly errant shots will find the bike path that borders and winds through the course. The play is lightly to moderately challenging across the board with thick brush and trees forming defined but quite fair fairways. I found myself throwing a mix of left, right and straight shots with most in the 240-350 range. The course reminded me of a less punishing Oak Meadow in Cypress.
Overall the play was quite enjoyable and would recommend to anyone in the area; albeit heading the repeated caution of avoiding after rain.
