-great amenities: concrete tees, nice signage, discatchers in good condition, course map, 3 practice baskets
-5 holes have two permanent baskets, 7 holes have three baskets, immense replay value
-layout makes good use of wooded and open areas, a creek, and the elevation along the edge of the tree line
-challenging shorter shots on most holes, fun for the experienced player but not too intimidating for beginner or rec players, tight but fair
-well maintained by the school, the grass was not too long and they were still out cutting it the day i played
-plenty of parking right next to the course

-a few long walks between holes, particularly from 10 to 11 and 11 to 12; also a slightly tricky transition from 2 to 3, go left on the walking path just out of the woods
-perhaps a bit more on the challenging side for a college course. i loved it but some very casual players may be put off a bit
-walking path is in play on a few holes
-a lot of muddy clay soil after a rain, your shoes will get heavy

I was very impressed by this redesign. I played the old course many years ago and this layout is a huge upgrade. The course is on an area where there is a field with a distinct tree line. The elevation drops down just inside that tree line and most holes play in and out of the trees as well as up and down that grade of about 10 feet. A couple holes play entirely open but a number of holes play entirely in those woods, where a creek also comes into play a few times.

There are concrete tees, nice signs, a few blue next tee arrows on trees in a couple necessary places but the real star of the amenities are the 34 baskets present on this 12 hole course. There are three practice baskets at the start of the course. Every hole has a red and a blue basket and which is longer or more challenging varies by hole. 7 out of 12 holes also have a yellow basket which is always the longest placement. The replay value on this course is very high because of all the baskets and the short and tight but very fair lines made me want to spend more time here to figure out the birdie plays.

Previous reviews mention thick rough, vines in the fairways, and spray and pray holes but I did not experience the course this way at all. It looks like a lot of work has been put in to clearing the course and I found all the holes to be very fair and attackable.

This course is probably a bit out of the way for most DFW golfers but I think it's worth checking out at least once. It's not a destination course by any means but it's a nice change of pace course and golfers with shorter arms who like having to shape a line through tight woods should definitely enjoy it. Course baggers will be pleasantly surprised.

Plenty of parking, even with construction going on.
3 different baskets on many of the holes make for greater replayability.
Technical course- it is exciting when you get a good throw and miss all the obstacles.
You don't have to have a big arm to play to the basket, as placement matters more than distance on most holes.
3 practice baskets
There is some good shade, which is premium in Texas.

Community college doing construction, makes it harder to find the course. Just keep driving to the outside and you will come across it.
Odd number of holes, 12, makes it difficult to compare how well you did vs other courses.
Since it is in a big city, you can get stuck in traffic unless you route around it with gps.

Lots of people walking dogs, so need to pay attention when you throw.
If you have time, it is fun to play a second round on a different set of baskets.
Don't get frustrated if you smack a few trees. Everybody I
have seen hits them!

This is a fun, highly challenging, super tight, course.

Playing this course forces learning how to throw with technique.

It is short enough that two rounds are easily finished in two hours. It never had more than two other players on the course on any Saturday morning this past summer, 2019. We(one other player) played two rounds every week (Saturday).

Lines of play are very tight or require the skilled use of hyzer or fade.

Excellent maintenance, and new signs, tee pads, and baskets, all of good quality.

There is lots of shade on this course in the summer.

It is somewhat short in spite of being twelve individual holes. some of the baskets do not have clear lines of access. There are small pine trees planted along a sidewalk for hole 3 that will block any throw to the basket in about 8 or 9 years. The course is on a municipal jr college grounds, so the course developer is limited in what he can do with the course.

A few holes are so full of trees or vines as to have no actual access to basket. I want at least a chance to get to the basket, even if two shots are required because of distance. Somehow two shots because trees completely block access does not seem fair to me.

This is a well maintained course so the lack of access is not due to lack of maintenance.

The soil is based on clay, so when the weather is wet, the ground beneath the trees turns into a bog and shoes turn into weights. Most of the playing surface is actually under the trees.

This is my favorite short course because there are so many unusual shots. Many of the baskets are set back into an open area beneath the tree canopy. Some holes require throwing out of a deep depression (well) in the woods that really messes with throwing on a level line.

This course proves that short does not by necessity mean easy.
