Pros:

This course plays through various sections of a pretty city park. The park offers a combination of acres of mowed grass along with scattered mature trees, which are a plus in West Texas! Virtually no brush or undergrowth to deal with.

The course is bisected by a shallow, wet-weather creek. It had rained the days before I played and the creek had as much as 18" of water in it, but it really didn't pose a hazard on most of the holes.

Truly excellent concrete teepads, with a Red and White pad for each hole. Well, most holes (see cons). The pads are about 15' long and 5' wide, flat with good texture. You couldn't ask for more.

Many baskets had red number plates on top, which was useful when several baskets were in sight of the tee.

No way would I characterize this course as "Moderately Hilly" but there is some gentle slope on a few holes that add to the interest.

Some holes are very open, but most incorporate enough trees to require shaping your drive. But overall this is not a technical course.

The day I played the wind was light. I can imagine that things get MUCH more challenging when the West Texas wind starts to blow.

Cons:

No tee signs on any holes, and the stenciling of hole number and distance on the pads themselves was largely worn off. In a couple of cases it was readable but obviously incorrect due to hole modifications.

Several holes have been impacted by changes in the park. The teepads for Hole 2 were MIA. There was fresh construction of a soccer field in the vicinity.

Hole 10 had been impacted by construction and had been relocated and shortened. The Hole 11 basket was in the original position shown on the Udisc map, but the teepads were not to be found. The entire "fairway" leading up to the basket was a paved parking lot and I had no idea how to play this hole. There is a lot of walking between the basket of Hole 9 and the Hole 12 teepad as you try to figure things out.

Several holes had two baskets. Often one was marked with the hole number, with an unmarked basket within 50 - 75'. No idea what the idea was here. Perhaps just alternate pins used by the locals.

Other Thoughts:

The sign kiosk foreshadowed my round. The map was obviously old, faded and moldy. The tournament flyers were dated 2014. The entire course had the feeling of being a bit forgotten with regard to keeping things current.

I am certain that the local players know exactly where to tee from when tees are missing, and which basket to play to when more than one is visible, but as a visiting disc golfer this course had several frustrating twists and turns.

I think that this course gets credit for being a decent track in a small, West Texas town. But it could use some TLC!!

Decent west Texas course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 20, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Baskets were in good shape
Cement Tee pads on both Short Red and Long White
Both short and long pin positions
broke in my cart on this course, pretty easy to get around
Course has a decent flow, pretty easy to follow

Cons:

From the white tee's most of the holes were long, but not true par 4 holes
Very long walk from hole 9 to 10

Other Thoughts:

West Texas is flat and wide open, it is good to find a course that is not that way.

While not a heavy wooded course, there are some huge tree's to throw around. There is a dry (well it was try today) creek bed in the park, the course makes good use of it.

I enjoyed the course other than playing from the White tee boxes, I was making par (3) on every hole. It was drive as far as I can, upshot and putt. As is true with most courses, the more open the hole was, the longer it was made for this course.

Best holes were 4, 16, and 18.

Hole 4 was a downhill shot with the basket in the long position across the creek.

Hole 16, another sort of downhill and across the creek shot with a nice defined fairway of trees.

Hole 18 throws down along the creekbed with a few different tight lines. I think this hole would be the signature hole.

Would I play here again?

Yea, I would not drive out of my way, but I would play here if in the area and wanted to get a round in. While not a stand out course, it is decent.
