Kleberg Park

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Minor elevation and limited trees are well used. No. 1 is a good example. It's 230 feet with tree limbs that force you to throw low.
-- Water is available from faucets at the campground across the park road from the course. No restrooms on site.
-- Natural tee pads, but they are mostly well-defined and in decent shape, with one exception.

Cons:

-- No map.
-- No restrooms.
-- Tee signs are poor, and many are missing or lying on the ground.
-- Baskets are older DGA models, and many of them are leaning.
-- Course is too compact. My decent drive on No. 3 landed inside C1 for No. 1. Six and seven are also parallel and create a dangerous situation if the holes are being played at the same time. No. 7 basket is 40 feet from the 6 tee pad.
-- Six tee pad is torn up. All others are framed by timbers. The ones for six have been pulled out of the ground.
-- No. 8 tee is overgrown and almost unplayable. The sign is lying in knee-high grass, making the tee difficult to find.
-- No. 9 is a boring finishing hole: 248 feet slightly uphill and completely open.
-- Very little distance variation. Eight of 9 holes are 215-275. The other is 310.

Other Thoughts:

-- No. 1 tee is between the road and the pavilion. Navigation is fairly easy except 7-8. The overgrown tee pad is completely obscured until you are nearly on top of it. Baskets are numbered, which helps.
-- No. 5 tee sign shows a RHFH line that no longer exists.
-- This course is the definition of passable. If I lived nearby, I'd probably play a lot of rounds here. But I wouldn't hesitate to drive 45 minutes to play a better course.

Kleberg 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 14, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to navigate through the course. Low trees make the short holes more challenging.

Cons:

The grass was over grown in places and almost lost a disc in the fairway. The baskets were hard to see with no colored top rings.

Other Thoughts:

Would play again if in the area or went to the park with the family all day but it's not worth the 38 mile drive from Corpus just for this course.

Short, fun course with just a few too many trees in the fairways. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 16, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is a decent course to work on your short and mid range game. For the most part the holes are in the low 200' distances. The mild elevation changes add complexity to some approaches, but they're certainly nothing crazy.

Cons:

The mesquite trees that litter the course make it difficult to throw "at" the baskets. For the most part you'll spend alot of your time throwing over the tops of trees as the foliage is just too thick on the fairways.

The day I played, it was a bit rainy and the tee boxes ended up being a bit of a mess.

Other Thoughts:

Although there are areas where one might criticize this course, it's overall a fun little course in Kingsville. It's really new, and I'm sure improvements will be made on it in the future. According to some of the local papers, there have been some plans to extend the course to an 18 hole course; however, I don't have any idea when, or if, that might happen. If you happen to be in Kingsville, I'd recommend giving the course a shot. It's pretty short, so you'd be able to fit it in whatever your plans might be.
